The purpose of the Audiologiks Beta Software Program (“Beta Program”) is to make alpha, beta, and other pre-release software, pre-release services, and related documentation, materials, and information (collectively, the “Pre-Release Software”) available to Beta Program participants from time to time for the purpose of providing Audiologiks with feedback on the quality and usability of the Pre-Release Software. You understand and agree that participation in the Beta Program is voluntary and does not create a legal partnership, agency, or employment relationship between you and Audiologiks. You understand that your participation in the Beta Program does not obligate Audiologiks to provide you with any Pre-Release Software. Audiologiks reserves the right to modify the terms, conditions, and policies of this Beta Program from time to time, and to revoke your participation in this Beta Program at any time. If Audiologiks makes changes to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then Audiologiks will present such revised terms and conditions to you on the Beta Program web portal.
By participating in the Beta Program, You certify that you are of the legal age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you reside (at least 18 years of age in many countries) and you represent that you are legally permitted to join the Beta Program. This Agreement is void where prohibited by law and the right to become a Beta Program participant is not granted in such jurisdictions. Unless otherwise agreed or permitted by Audiologiks in writing, you cannot share or transfer any software or other materials you receive from Audiologiks in connection with being a Beta Program participant. The Audiologiks Access Code and password you use to login as a Beta Program participant cannot be shared in any way or with any one.
