On this page: Website Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and the Paid Subscription Terms that govern Pro subscriptions, including the thirty-day refund. Tailored subscriptions run under a signed Master Subscription Agreement, which carries a thirty-day acceptance window with a full refund and termination for convenience on thirty days' notice with a pro-rata refund.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the website located at breakerbrief.com (the "Site") and any free digest, newsletter, or sample content we distribute by email or through the Site (the "Free Digest"). The Site and Free Digest are operated by Breaker Brief LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company ("we," "us," or the "Company").
By using the Site or subscribing to the Free Digest, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or subscribe.
These Terms govern the Site and the Free Digest. Our Tailored paid subscription services, including tailored regulatory briefs and meeting-preparation memos, are governed by a separate Master Subscription Agreement and Order Form signed by the customer, not by these Terms. Paid subscriptions we sell by invoice (for example, the Pro tier), however requested, are governed by the separate Paid Subscription Terms, which are accepted by paying the invoice and which incorporate designated sections of these Terms; except as so incorporated, these Terms do not govern those subscriptions. If there is any conflict between these Terms and a signed Master Subscription Agreement or the Paid Subscription Terms, the Master Subscription Agreement or the Paid Subscription Terms, respectively, controls for the services it governs.
We publish regulatory-affairs information about wholesale electricity markets, compiled from public sources such as RTO revision requests, tariff records, and FERC public records.
We are not a law firm, and nothing on the Site or in the Free Digest is legal advice. Reading the Site or the Free Digest does not create an attorney-client, advisory, or fiduciary relationship between you and the Company. Our content describes regulatory developments; it does not interpret your contracts, recommend how your organization should vote in any stakeholder process, or direct any decision you make. If you need legal advice, consult a licensed attorney.
Content on the Site and in the Free Digest is provided for general information. It may be incomplete, out of date, or wrong, and it is not tailored to your organization. We do not monitor every regulatory source, and our silence on a topic is not an indication that nothing is happening or that no action is needed. You are responsible for your own regulatory monitoring, votes, filings, and compliance decisions, and you should not act (or refrain from acting) based on the Site or Free Digest without independent verification.
You may subscribe to the Free Digest by providing a valid email address. By subscribing you consent to receive the digest and occasional messages about our services. Every email includes an unsubscribe link; you may opt out at any time. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Free Digest at any time without notice or liability. We may decline or cancel any subscription in our discretion.
You agree not to:
Forwarding an individual Free Digest issue to colleagues within your organization, or quoting brief excerpts with attribution to Breaker Brief LLC, is permitted.
The Site, the Free Digest, and all content, formats, templates, designs, and underlying systems are owned by the Company or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view the Site and read the Free Digest for your organization's internal informational use. No other rights are granted. Underlying public regulatory documents (e.g., FERC filings, RTO records) remain public; our selection, summaries, analysis, and presentation of them are ours.
If you submit feedback or suggestions, we may use them without restriction or obligation to you.
Our content is prepared with the assistance of AI-based tools operated under the Company's accounts and is reviewed by a human before publication. The Company's operator has final responsibility for everything we publish. See our Privacy Policy for how subscriber information is handled.
The Site and Free Digest may link to third-party websites, including regulatory dockets and filings. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party sites or their content.
THE SITE AND THE FREE DIGEST ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, OR LOST OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR THE FREE DIGEST, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. BECAUSE THE SITE AND FREE DIGEST ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT CHARGE, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THEM IS LIMITED TO ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU; IN THAT CASE OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
We operate from the United States and make no representation that the Site or Free Digest is appropriate or lawful in other jurisdictions. If you access the Site from outside the United States (including from Canada), you do so on your own initiative, you are responsible for compliance with local law, and you agree that these Terms, including the Oklahoma governing-law and venue provisions in Section 14, apply to you.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site or the Free Digest at any time, with or without cause or notice. Sections 2, 3, 5 (Acceptable Use, including its restrictions on scraping, AI training, and republication), 6 (including the license restrictions), 9, 10, 13, and 14 survive termination.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the current version. For material changes affecting Free Digest subscribers, we will note the change in the digest or by email. Your continued use of the Site or continued subscription after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or the Free Digest will be brought exclusively in the state courts located in Texas County, Oklahoma, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there. Each party waives any right to a jury trial and agrees that any claim must be brought individually and not as part of a class or representative action.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Site and the Free Digest. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a sale or reorganization of the business.

Effective date: September 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information Breaker Brief LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company ("we," "us," or the "Provider"), collects when you use our regulatory-intelligence subscription service (the "Service"), visit our website, or subscribe to our free digest, how we use it, and the choices you have. Our customers are organizations (electric cooperatives, municipal utilities, joint-action agencies, G&Ts, and other wholesale-electricity market participants), so most of the personal information we handle is business contact information for people at those organizations.
If anything here is unclear, contact us at travis@breakerbrief.com. Plain answers, no runaround.
We collect only what we need to run the Service:
We do not collect sensitive personal information (health, biometric, precise geolocation, government ID numbers), and the Service has no reason to.
This Policy also covers our public website and our free digest, not just the paid Service:
Free-digest and website information gets the same "what we do not do" protections in Section 4: we do not sell it and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
We use the information above to:
We do not use one customer's profile, questions, or tailored analysis to prepare content for any other customer. All analysis in our deliverables is derived from public regulatory sources.
We are a small operation and rely on established third-party tools, operated under our own accounts, to run the Service. Categories currently include:
To be candid about what this means: these providers process data as part of providing their services to us, under their standard commercial terms. We choose reputable providers and configure our accounts sensibly, but as a solo-operated business we do not offer a negotiated data processing agreement (DPA) or hold third-party security certifications (such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001) at this time. If your organization requires those, tell us before subscribing so we can discuss whether the Service fits your requirements.
We do not permit any provider to sell your data, and we do not use customer-confidential information to generate content for other customers.
We take reasonable, proportionate measures for a business of our size: access to customer data is limited to the operator; accounts with our service providers use strong authentication (including multi-factor authentication where available); and customer profiles are kept segregated per customer. No system is perfectly secure, and we do not promise more than we can deliver, but we handle your information carefully and will notify you without undue delay if we become aware of a breach affecting your data.
We welcome subscribers in Canada. For Canadian organizations and their personnel, we handle personal information in a manner consistent with the principles of Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA): we collect only what the Service requires, use it only for the purposes described in this Policy, and provide access and correction on request. Please note that our systems and service providers are located in the United States, so your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where it is subject to U.S. law. By subscribing, you consent to that transfer. Questions or complaints may be directed to travis@breakerbrief.com; you also have the right to contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
The Service is a business-to-business product for wholesale-electricity market participants. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
We may update this Policy from time to time; the current version is always available at breakerbrief.com/legal. If we change this Policy in a material way, we will notify subscribing organizations by email before the change takes effect. For organizations with a paid subscription, a material change takes effect for that organization at the start of its next renewal term, not mid-term, unless the organization expressly agrees to an earlier effective date, and no change will reduce the protections applicable to information we collected while an earlier version was in effect without that organization's consent. For website visitors and free-digest subscribers, continued use of the website or continued subscription after the effective date of a revised Policy constitutes acceptance.

Breaker Brief LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company
Last updated: September 1, 2026
These Paid Subscription Terms ("Paid Terms") govern every subscription we sell by invoice, including the Pro tier, however you ask for it: through the website at breakerbrief.com (the "Site"), by email, or in conversation with us (each, a "Paid Subscription"). Paid Subscriptions are sold by Breaker Brief LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company ("we," "us," or the "Company"). You accept these Paid Terms by paying an invoice for a Paid Subscription. Every such invoice, and the email that delivers it, states that payment accepts these Paid Terms and gives their address, breakerbrief.com/legal; the version posted there on the invoice date is the version you accept. If you subscribe using an organizational email address or on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and "you" includes it.
If you buy a Paid Subscription, these Paid Terms govern it, together with the plan description and price stated on the Site and on your invoice, which are incorporated into these Paid Terms. Sections 2 (What We Are and What We Are Not), 3 (Informational Only; No Reliance), 9 (Disclaimer of Warranties), and 14 (Governing Law and Disputes) of our Website Terms of Service are incorporated by reference and apply to every Paid Subscription.
These Paid Terms do not govern our Tailored subscription services, which are sold only under a signed Master Subscription Agreement and Order Form. If you or your organization has a signed Master Subscription Agreement with us, that agreement controls for the services it covers.
A Paid Subscription provides regulatory-affairs information and analysis compiled from public sources. It is not legal advice, we are not a law firm, and no attorney-client, advisory, or fiduciary relationship is created by these Paid Terms or by anything we deliver. Our content presents considerations, not directives: we do not recommend how you or your organization should vote, file, or decide anything.
We monitor enumerated public sources only, as described in your plan description. Our silence on a topic is not an indication that nothing is happening or that no action is needed, and public sources can be published late, revised, withdrawn, or incomplete. We do not warrant that content under a Paid Subscription is complete, error-free, or delivered by any particular deadline. You remain solely responsible for your own regulatory monitoring, votes, filings, contracts, and compliance decisions. You acknowledge that in purchasing a Paid Subscription you have not relied on any statement, representation, or promise not set forth in these Paid Terms and the plan description on the Site and your invoice, including statements elsewhere on the Site or in marketing materials.
We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use content delivered under your Paid Subscription within your organization for its internal business purposes. You may not republish, redistribute, resell, or syndicate that content outside your organization, whether for free or for a fee; use it to build, train, or market a competing product or service; or use it to train machine-learning or AI models. Brief internal quotations with attribution are permitted within your organization. We retain all right, title, and interest in and to the content, its formats, and the systems that produce it.
Fees for your Paid Subscription are stated on your invoice and are payable in advance in U.S. dollars by ACH transfer or check within 30 days of the invoice date; access begins when payment is received. Fees exclude applicable sales, use, and similar taxes, which are your responsibility.
Thirty-day refund. If, within thirty (30) days after we send the first Monday edition under your Paid Subscription, you tell us the subscription is not what you need, we will refund the full amount you paid for that period, no questions asked. Email travis@breakerbrief.com or reply to any edition. We pay the refund within thirty (30) days after your message, by ACH transfer or check to your organization, without any fee or deduction. After that window, and except as stated in Section 6 or required by applicable law, payments are non-refundable; you may cancel at any time under Section 5, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for.
Your Paid Subscription renews automatically until you cancel. Please read this section; it is the automatic-renewal disclosure for your purchase.
We may suspend or terminate a Paid Subscription for breach of these Paid Terms (including the license limits in Section 3) or for non-payment. If we discontinue your Paid Subscription or your plan before the end of a period you have paid for, other than a termination for your breach, we will refund the unused portion of the fees for that period, calculated by the days remaining in the period, within thirty (30) days; that refund is your sole remedy for discontinuation. If we send no Monday edition for more than thirty (30) consecutive days during a period you have paid for, including the thirty (30) days after payment, you may cancel by email and receive the same refund. Sections 2, 3, 7, and 9 of these Paid Terms survive the end of a Paid Subscription for any reason.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenues, or lost opportunities, arising out of or relating to a Paid Subscription, even if we have been advised of the possibility. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to a Paid Subscription is limited to the fees you paid for that Paid Subscription in the twelve (12) months before the claim arose. Nothing in these Paid Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
We may update these Paid Terms from time to time; the current version is always available at breakerbrief.com/legal. A material change applies to your Paid Subscription beginning with your next renewal, not mid-period, and we will notify you by email before it takes effect; the renewal reminder will state or link to the terms that apply to the renewal period. Paying the renewal invoice after notice of a change constitutes acceptance of the changed terms for the renewal period.
Section 14 of the Website Terms of Service (Oklahoma governing law; exclusive venue in the state courts located in Texas County, Oklahoma; jury-trial waiver; individual claims only) is incorporated into these Paid Terms and applies to any dispute arising out of or relating to a Paid Subscription.
