These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern access to and use of Brief PE (the “Service”) operated by NTPC Consult ApS (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”). By creating an account, subscribing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
Legal entity: NTPC Consult ApS (Denmark)
CVR: DK41761210
Website: briefpe.com
Support/Notices: hello@briefpe.com
Payment processor: Polar.sh (handles multi-currency and VAT/tax collection on our behalf)
Business use (B2B). Brief PE is designed for professional and business use. You must be at least 18 years old and have authority to bind your organization (if applicable). If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity (the “Customer”), the Customer is responsible for the acts and omissions of its users (each a “User”).
Key definitions.
“Tracked Company” means an entity you add for monitoring (typically by domain/URL).
“Customer Data” means inputs you provide (e.g., tracked lists and settings).
“Third-Party Data” means information sourced from external providers.
“AI Output” means summaries or other content generated with AI.
Enterprise. Enterprise subscriptions are provisioned manually and may require a separate written agreement. If such agreement conflicts with these Terms, that agreement prevails for the Enterprise Customer.
Brief PE is an AI-powered news and signals monitoring platform for private equity professionals. It consolidates fragmented sources into (a) a web dashboard and (b) a weekly email digest delivered at approximately 08:00 Central European Time (CET/CEST, as applicable). Email delivery can be affected by factors outside our control (e.g., spam filtering), and you are responsible for ensuring service emails can be received.
The Service can track company news, workforce/headcount and hiring signals, and related changes across portfolio companies and investment candidates. Users add companies by domain/URL; the Service may normalize and deduplicate company records. Certain features are available only on paid tiers (see Section 4).
The Service uses AI systems to generate concise, business-impact-focused summaries. The Service ingests or retrieves Third-Party Data from providers including Perplexity (news/API) and Coresignal (workforce/headcount data). AI Output and Third-Party Data may be inaccurate or incomplete; see Sections 9 and 10.
Accurate information. You must provide and maintain accurate, current account information.
One account per person. Accounts are non-transferable. Users must not share credentials.
Security. You are responsible for activity under your account and must notify us promptly of suspected unauthorized access.
Suspension/termination. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms, misuse the Service, create security risks, or fail to pay fees. Where reasonably practicable, we will provide notice and an opportunity to cure, except where immediate action is appropriate to address fraud, security risks, suspected illegal activity, or to prevent harm to the Service or other customers.
4.1 Tiers and limits
Brief PE is offered under these tiers (USD pricing):
Free: $0 (up to 3 Tracked Companies; news monitoring).
Pro: $29/month or $290/year (up to 6 Tracked Companies; news + workforce data + compare + on-demand enrichment).
Max: $199/month or $1,990/year (up to 40 Tracked Companies; all Pro features; annual option may be available by invoice with net-30 terms).
Enterprise: custom pricing and limits; unlimited tracking; dedicated support and custom onboarding; may be governed by a separate agreement.
Plan limits (including Tracked Company limits) must not be circumvented, including by using multiple accounts or automation to avoid limits. We may enforce limits through technical controls and may require you to reduce usage or upgrade.
4.2 14-day free trial
New accounts may be eligible for a 14-day free trial with Pro-level access.
No automatic charge at trial end. When the trial ends, your account will downgrade to Free immediately (no grace period) unless you actively purchase a paid Subscription. The end of the trial does not automatically trigger a charge.
No payment method required (if applicable). If we do not require a payment method to start the trial, you will not be asked for card details during trial signup. If we later introduce a requirement to enter payment details for trial access, we will update these Terms and the signup flow accordingly.
4.3 Billing and taxes
Renewals. Paid Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless canceled in accordance with Section 5. You are responsible for canceling before renewal if you do not want the Subscription to renew.
Paid Subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring monthly or annual basis unless otherwise agreed in writing. Payments and subscription management are handled via Polar.sh (the “Payment Processor”), which may act as merchant of record and may calculate, collect, and remit applicable taxes (including VAT) based on your billing details.
You are responsible for keeping payment methods and billing information current. Failed payments may result in suspension, downgrade, or loss of access to paid features.
Upgrades and proration. If you upgrade or change plans, the Payment Processor may charge the new fee immediately and may apply proration or credits depending on its configuration. Any such calculations are handled through the billing portal.
Late payment (invoice). If invoice/net-30 payment is offered and you pay late, we may charge interest and reasonable collection costs as permitted by law and may suspend access until payment is received.
You may cancel a paid Subscription at any time via the billing portal (or, for Enterprise, as stated in the applicable agreement). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You retain paid access until period end; afterward the account downgrades to the Free tier unless you resubscribe. You may reactivate before period end through the billing portal to avoid interruption.
Downgrade and limits. After downgrade to Free (whether after cancellation or trial expiry), your ability to track and view Tracked Companies may be restricted to comply with Free tier limits. For example, if your account has more Tracked Companies than the Free limit, we may pause monitoring and/or limit visibility until you reduce the list to within the Free limit or upgrade again.
No refunds. To the maximum extent permitted by law, all subscription fees are non-refundable, including for partial periods, unused features, downgrades, or unused monitoring capacity. The 14-day free trial is the evaluation period. Chargebacks and payment disputes are handled case-by-case; we may suspend access while a dispute is pending.
You may use the Service only for lawful business purposes. You must not (and must not allow others to):
scrape, harvest, or systematically extract data/content from the Service using bots, crawlers, or automated scripts (except as enabled by the Service's intended functionality);
resell, sublicense, or distribute the Service, AI Output, or Third-Party Data as a standalone product or service;
use the Service, AI Output, or Third-Party Data to build or improve a competing product or service (including training competitive models or datasets) beyond normal internal business use;
reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to discover source code or underlying components, except where such restriction is prohibited by mandatory law;
share credentials or access the Service without authorization;
circumvent usage limits or security measures, or interfere with the Service's operation;
introduce malware, abuse the Service, or attempt unauthorized testing or exploitation; or
use the Service in a way that violates intellectual property rights, confidentiality obligations, or applicable data protection laws.
Not investment advice. You must not use the Service, AI Output, or Third-Party Data as the sole basis for investment decisions. Independent verification and professional judgment remain your responsibility.
The Service (including software, branding, design, and technology) is owned by NTPC Consult ApS and its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service for your internal business purposes during the Subscription term.
You retain rights in your Customer Data. You grant us a license to host, process, and use Customer Data only as necessary to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Service and to enforce these Terms.
AI Output may reference third-party content. We do not claim ownership of underlying third-party news content. Any reuse of third-party content must comply with applicable rights and licenses.
The Service relies on Third-Party Data and external services. We do not control and do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, legality, quality, or timeliness of Third-Party Data. Providers may change, suspend, or discontinue services, which may affect availability and coverage.
Shared enrichment. When multiple customers track the same Tracked Company, we may run enrichment once and reuse company-level results for efficiency. This does not mean we share your private account data (such as credentials, billing details, or user activity logs) with other customers. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle personal data.
Brief PE is an information and monitoring tool and does not provide investment advice or other regulated professional services. AI Output and Third-Party Data may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. The Service and Third-Party Data are provided “as-is” and “as-available” to the maximum extent permitted by law, without warranties of any kind (express, implied, or statutory). We do not guarantee specific outcomes from using the Service.
Liability cap. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the total fees paid by the Customer for the Service in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
Excluded damages. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, or data.
Decisions. We are not liable for decisions made based on the Service, AI Output, or Third-Party Data. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless NTPC Consult ApS and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to (a) your or your Users' violation of these Terms or applicable law, or (b) Customer Data you submit to the Service.
We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted Service. Maintenance, upgrades, and third-party outages may occur.
Changes to the Service. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features or the Service. Where reasonably practicable, we will provide reasonable notice for changes that materially and negatively impact your current Subscription.
Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time by posting an updated version on this page and updating the “Last updated” date. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
These Terms are governed by Danish law.
Informal resolution. Before initiating formal legal proceedings, each party agrees to attempt to resolve disputes informally by contacting the other party in writing and allowing at least 30 days to seek resolution, unless urgent interim relief is required.
Courts. If unresolved, disputes will be submitted to the competent courts of Denmark, subject to mandatory law.
Miscellaneous. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent, except to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all assets. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or successor in interest. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of future enforcement. These Terms (and any Enterprise agreement, if applicable) constitute the entire agreement regarding the Service and supersede prior or contemporaneous understandings on that subject.
Standard support is provided via email. Enterprise Customers may receive dedicated support and onboarding under their Enterprise agreement.
