Last Updated: August 30, 2026
Welcome to BrewChat! These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the BrewChat website (brewchat.co) and related services (collectively, the “Services”) provided by BrewChat.Co (“BrewChat,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

You may also separately opt into two attendee reminders per booking, sent about 24 hours and 1 hour before the meeting. Consent is not required to create an account, use BrewChat, or book a meeting. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Delivery timing is not guaranteed.
