CERTITUDE DIGITAL INC.
1. Participation in the Certitude Digital Beta Software Program.
The purpose of the Certitude Digital Beta Software Program (“Beta Program”) is to make alpha, beta, seed, 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 Certitude Digital 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 Certitude Digital. You understand that your participation in the Beta Program does not obligate Certitude Digital to provide you with any Pre-Release Software. Certitude Digital 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 Certitude Digital makes changes to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then Certitude Digital 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 reside in the United States of America. You also 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 Certitude Digital in writing, you cannot share or transfer any software or other materials you receive from Certitude Digital in connection with being a Beta Program participant. The Certitude Digital ID and password you use to login as a Beta Program participant cannot be shared in any way or with any one. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Certitude Digital ID and password and for any activity in connection with your account. Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions in this Section 1, if you are the parent or legal guardian of individuals between the ages of 13 and the legal age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you reside, you may allow such individuals to share your Certitude Digital ID and password for their use in connection with the Beta Program solely under your supervision and only in accordance with this Agreement. You are responsible for such individuals’ compliance with and violations of this Agreement and any other Certitude Digital agreements.

You understand that Certitude Digital may make Pre-Release Software available to Beta Program participants for downloading online through the Certitude Digital website, through the Beta Program web portal, and/or as otherwise provided through the Beta Program (e.g., by manual download of a digital image, by providing software configuration profiles, etc.). From time to time, Certitude Digital, at its option, may also provide you with software or services as part of the Beta Program, including but not limited to scripts, code snippets, utilities, configuration profiles, sample code, troubleshooting applications and bug submission tools (“Seeding Tools”) as part of your participation in the Beta Program.

If the Certitude Digital Software is accompanied by a separate license agreement, you agree that the license agreement accompanying such Certitude Digital Software, in addition to Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement, shall govern your use of the Certitude Digital Software. Any inconsistencies between the provisions of the license agreement accompanying the Certitude Digital Software and Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement shall be governed by this Agreement.

Except as otherwise permitted under Section 15, this license does not grant you the right to use the Certitude Digital Software for any other purpose, or to disclose, reproduce, distribute, modify or create derivative works of the Certitude Digital Software. You agree not to decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, decrypt, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of any Certitude Digital Software (except as and only to the extent the foregoing restrictions are prohibited by applicable law, or to the extent as may be permitted by licensing terms governing use of opensourced components included with any such Certitude Digital Software). Unless otherwise permitted under Section 15 below, you certify that the Certitude Digital Software will only be used for testing and evaluation purposes in connection with the Beta Program, and will not be rented, sold, leased, sublicensed, assigned, distributed or otherwise transferred.

By agreeing to this Agreement, you agree that Certitude Digital may contact you from time to time about the Beta Program, and you hereby consent to receive such communications.
