Beta confidentiality agreement
Themescape is in beta. Read this agreement, then sign it at the end to open Themescape.
- 1
Parties and the Beta. This agreement between Themescape Limited (“the Company”) and the tester who signs below (“the Tester”) takes effect when both have signed it. It gives the Tester early access (“the Beta”) to the Themescape spreadsheet template and viewer (“the Software”) until public release, or until either party ends it by email.
- 2
Confidential Information. This means any information the Company shares during the Beta that it has not made public, including the Software, its design, features, documentation, pricing, launch plans and login details. It excludes information that becomes public through no fault of the Tester, and information the Tester already held lawfully or received from someone free to share it.
- 3
Obligations. The Tester will use Confidential Information only to test the Software and give feedback, and will not disclose it without the Company’s written consent. The Tester will not post screenshots or recordings of the Software, nor copy or reverse engineer it, and may make any disclosure the law requires after notifying the Company where the law permits.
- 4
Research data. The Software keeps research data on the Tester’s own computer; the Company does not receive data loaded into the viewer and holds only the account details described in its Privacy statement at themescape.co.nz/privacy/. The Tester will test with synthetic data or data the Tester may lawfully use for testing, and will not load identifiable participant data or data whose ethics approval or consent does not permit that use. The optional live Google Sheets mode reads data held by Google and is for data that is not sensitive. Feedback must contain no participant information.
- 5
Intellectual property and feedback. The Company owns all intellectual property in the Software, including its design, features, documentation and any improvements, whether or not they arise from the Tester’s feedback. The Tester may use the Software only to take part in the Beta and gains no licence or other right beyond that. The Company may use the Tester’s feedback, suggestions and bug reports freely, without payment or credit. The Tester’s research data, and the themes, figures and other outputs the Tester makes with the Software, remain the Tester’s own. The Company will not name or quote the Tester publicly without written consent.
- 6
Liability. The Software is provided as it is, and to the extent the law permits the Company accepts no liability for loss arising from its use.
- 7
Duration. Confidentiality continues for 2 years after the Beta ends, when the Tester will stop using the Software and delete any copies and other Confidential Information.
- 8
Governing law. New Zealand law governs this agreement, which is the entire agreement about the Beta and may be changed only in writing.
