the agreement, in plain language

Terms of Service

These terms are an agreement between you and Stream Brio LLC, which operates Halden Press. By using the site or the service, you accept them. They are short on purpose.

Effective July 23, 2026

what this is

The service

Halden Pressreads the public evidence around a creator’s work, their published content, their audience’s public comments, and public mentions on the web, and writes them chapters about their identity, audience, content, platforms, and strategy. Membership is currently by invitation. Joining the waiting list creates no account and no obligation on either side beyond our writing to you when there is room.

your account

Signing in, and who may

You sign in with a link we email you; there are no passwords. Keep the email address on your account current and its inbox secure, because the inbox is the key. You must be at least 18 to hold an account, and the information you give us must be accurate.

your channel

Only yours, with your permission

Connect only a channel you own or are authorized to represent. By connecting it, you give us permission to read its public data and process it to write your chapters, as described in our Privacy Policy. We never download video or audio files, and we never access private data.

Halden Press uses YouTube API Services. By using the service you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google’s handling of data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.

ownership

Your work stays yours, your chapters too

Everything you own before using Halden stays yours: your channel, your content, your audience. The chapters we write for you are yours to keep, quote, and use as you like. The engine, the software, the site, and the Halden Press name and format remain ours. You may not resell access to the service or offer the chapters as your own competing service.

what we promise carefully

Evidence, not guarantees

Chapters are analysis and interpretation grounded in your evidence. We hold ourselves to a hard rule of inventing nothing, but reading evidence is judgment, and outcomes are not promised. Nothing in a chapter is financial, legal, or other professional advice. What you do with the reading, and what comes of it, remains yours.

The service is provided as is. We work to keep it available and correct, and we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error free.

acceptable use

What we ask of you

Do not misuse the service: no scraping or automated harvesting of the site, no attempting to access another member’s data, no reverse engineering, no connecting channels you do not represent, and no unlawful use. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms, and where practical we will tell you why.

money

Fees

Pricing for membership is communicated before you are ever charged. If paid subscriptions are introduced, the price, billing period, and how to cancel will be shown plainly at sign-up, and changes to pricing will be told to members in advance.

leaving

Ending things

You can leave at any time: email hello@streambrio.com and we will close your account and handle your data as the Privacy Policy describes. We may suspend or end the service or an account for breach of these terms or where the law requires. Sections that by their nature should survive, such as ownership and limitation of liability, survive.

the legal floor

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Stream Brio LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or lost profits, arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of one hundred US dollars or the amounts you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits, in which case they apply to the fullest extent permitted.

the rest

Governing law, changes, contact

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If we change these terms, this page changes first, with a new effective date, and members are told by email when the change is material; continued use after that is acceptance. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stands. Questions: hello@streambrio.com.
