    1. Beta License.  Except with respect to Licensor OSS (as defined below), subject to the Beta User's continued compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor hereby provides Beta User, during the Term (as defined below), a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non- assignable, non-sublicensable right and license to use and the Product solely for Beta User's internal business purposes or personal use (the "License"). For the avoidance of doubt, Beta User may not disclose or use the Product or any components thereof on behalf of or in connection with any third party's products, services, or research and development activities; provided that, upon Licensor's prior written consent, Beta User may use the Product in connection with Beta User's clients who are bound to an unmodified form of this Agreement with Licensor.

  2. FEEDBACK.  During the Term, Beta User may provide to Licensor feedback and suggestions regarding the use, operation, performance, and functionality of the Product ("Feedback"). Such Feedback may include information about operating results, performance, known or suspected bugs, errors or compatibility problems and user-desired features. Beta User hereby grants to Licensor an unlimited, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable, and royalty-free right to use and otherwise exploit the Feedback in any manner.

  5. THIRD PARTY CODE. 
    1. Certain items of software code provided within the Product and/or Source Code Programs, or which are intended to be downloaded separately by Beta User and used with the Product, are licensed from third parties and are subject to "open source" or "free software" licenses from such licensors ("Third Party Code"). The Third Party Code is licensed under the terms of the license that accompanies or otherwise is applicable to such Third Party Code. Nothing in this Agreement limits Beta User's rights under, or grants Beta User rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable license for the Third Party Code, including any rights to copy, modify, or distribute Third Party Code under the applicable license.
    2. Notwithstanding Section 5.1, Beta User shall not use the Product in connection with any Free and Open Source Software ("FOSS", as further defined below) in such a way that would require all or any part of the Product or any source code that incorporates or discloses any part of thereof to be: (i) disclosed or distributed in source code form; (ii) licensed for the purpose of making derivative works; (iii) redistributable at no charge; or (iv) subject to any FOSS licensing terms or obligations. As used above, "FOSS" or "Free and Open Source Software" means any software that is subject to terms that, as a condition of use, copying, modification, or redistribution, requires such software and derivative works thereof to be disclosed or distributed in source code form, to be licensed for the purpose of making derivatives works, or to be redistributed at no charge, including software distributed under the GNU General Public License or GNU Lesser General Public License (formerly known as "the GNU Library General Public License") or any version thereof.

Certain items of software intended to be used in connection with the Product may be separately made available by Licensor via one or more public software code repositories such as GitHub under one or more FOSS licenses identified by Licensor in connection with such repositories (the “Licensor OSS”). Each item of Licensor OSS is not deemed part of the Product hereunder nor subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and, instead, is licensed under the terms of the FOSS license that accompanies such Licensor OSS.
  6. TITLE; RESERVATION OF RIGHTS.  As between the parties, Licensor and its affiliates or licensors shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Product, including all Improvements thereto, and in all intellectual property rights therein, including as may be applicable, all patent, trademark, copyright, rights in computer software, database rights and trade secrets, whether registered or not registered. No license or other express or implied rights of any kind are granted or conveyed except for the limited internal License expressly provided in Section 1 above.

To the extent Beta User obtains any ownership rights in any Improvements, Beta User shall, and hereby does, irrevocably and unconditionally assign to Licensor, its entire right, title and interest in and to such Improvements, including all intellectual property rights therein. Beta User shall not offer, loan, license, transfer, encumber, or otherwise dispose of the Product to any third party without having received prior written authorization from Licensor.

In addition, this Agreement will terminate immediately upon any breach by Beta User. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, Beta User's rights to use the Product shall immediately expire, Beta User shall cease any use of the Product and delete all copies thereof (including all copies of Source Code Programs), and an officer of Beta User shall certify such deletion in writing to Licensor; otherwise, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will survive.
  8. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.  BETA USER UNDERSTANDS THAT THE VERSION OF THE PRODUCT PROVIDED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT IS A PRE-RELEASE 'BETA' VERSION THAT HAS NOT YET COMPLETED LICENSOR'S QUALITY ASSURANCE TESTING. LICENSOR IS PROVIDING THE PRODUCT AND THE SOURCE CODE PROGRAMS ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS FOR USE BY BETA USER AT ITS OWN RISK. LICENSOR AND ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND AND DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES RELATING TO THE PRODUCT AND THE SOURCE CODE PROGRAMS OR ANY SERVICES PROVIDED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AVAILABILITY, RELIABILITY, ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS.

  9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR, OR ITS AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS, BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE PRODUCT, THE SOURCE CODE PROGRAMS OR OTHER MATERIALS PROVIDED ALONG WITH THE PRODUCT OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OTHER CLAIM ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LICENSOR'S AGGREGATE AND CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF $100.00 US DOLLARS.

All Product-related technical information, evaluation or reports supplied to or prepared by Beta User that relate to the Product also are Confidential Information. Beta User shall not use or disclose any Confidential Information except as expressly authorized by this Agreement and shall protect the Confidential Information using the same degree of care that it uses with respect to its own comparable confidential information, but in no event with safeguards less than a reasonably prudent business world exercise under similar circumstances. Except as provided herein, Beta User agrees not to permit any third party access to any materials generated by Licensor or its affiliates or Beta User regarding the Product without Licensor's or its affiliates' advance written approval.
