Beta Program Agreement
Agreement Date: To be completed at execution · Version: 1.2
Preamble
This Beta Program Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Dossiri LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“DOSSIRI”), and the individual or organization identified in the signature block below (“Participant”).
This Agreement governs Participant’s access to and use of the DOSSIRI platform (app.dossiri.com) as a Beta Program participant. It supplements and, where it conflicts, controls over the DOSSIRI Terms of Service (www.dossiri.com/legal/terms) (“ToS”), the DOSSIRI Privacy Policy (www.dossiri.com/legal/privacy), and the DOSSIRI Acceptable Use Policy (www.dossiri.com/legal/acceptable-use) (“AUP”), which remain in effect and are incorporated herein by reference. Except as expressly modified by this Agreement, the ToS, Privacy Policy, and AUP apply in full to Participant’s use of the Service.
This Agreement must be signed by both parties before Participant is granted access to the Service. Click-through acceptance of the Terms of Service occurs at or after execution of this Agreement, not before. DOSSIRI will not grant Service access to Beta Program participants under informal arrangements or email exchanges.
Beta Program access is provided at DOSSIRI’s sole discretion. Participant acknowledges that the Service is in a pre-general-availability state and that participation in the Beta Program is subject to the terms and limitations described herein.
1. Definitions
Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement have the meanings given in the ToS. The following additional terms apply:
Beta Features: Features of the Service made available to Participant during the Beta Period that may not yet be available in the generally available version of the Service, or that are in a pre-release, development, or evaluation state.
Beta Period: The period during which Participant is authorized to access the Service under this Agreement, beginning on the Agreement Date and continuing until terminated in accordance with Section 9.
Beta Program: DOSSIRI’s pre-general-availability access program for design partners, alpha users, and beta users.
Feedback: All comments, suggestions, bug reports, feature requests, observations, and other input that Participant provides to DOSSIRI regarding the Service, whether provided orally, in writing, or through use of the Service.
DOSSIRI Confidential Information: Non-public information disclosed by DOSSIRI to Participant in connection with the Beta Program, including product roadmap information, unreleased features, Beta Features, pricing strategy, technical architecture, and business information. Customer Content entered by Participant is not DOSSIRI Confidential Information.
Participant Confidential Information: Non-public business information disclosed by Participant to DOSSIRI in connection with the Beta Program, including account details, sales strategies, customer information, and other business information shared in the course of Feedback sessions or product discussions.
Participant Type: Participant’s classification within the Beta Program, as identified in the signature block: Design Partner, Alpha User, or Beta User. Each Participant Type may have different access levels, Feedback obligations, and pricing terms as described in Section 3.
2. Beta Program Access
2.1 Access Grant
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, DOSSIRI grants Participant a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Service, including applicable Beta Features, during the Beta Period for the purpose of evaluating the Service and providing Feedback to DOSSIRI. This right is for Participant’s internal business use only.
2.2 Access Scope
Participant’s access to specific features of the Service during the Beta Period is determined by Participant’s Participant Type and by the access configuration DOSSIRI provides to Participant at onboarding. DOSSIRI may adjust Participant’s access scope at any time during the Beta Period, including granting access to additional features or revoking access to specific features, with reasonable notice where practicable.
2.3 No Production Commitment
Access to the Service under this Agreement does not constitute a commitment that any Beta Feature will be included in the generally available version of the Service, that the Service will continue in its current form, or that Participant will have continued access after the Beta Period ends. DOSSIRI makes no representations about the future roadmap, feature set, or pricing of the generally available Service. Verbal representations made by DOSSIRI personnel regarding product direction during Feedback sessions or onboarding are informational only and do not create contractual obligations.
2.4 Authorized Users
Participant may authorize individual users within Participant’s organization to access the Service under this Agreement, subject to the seat limits and role structure of the Service as specified in the signature block. Participant is responsible for ensuring that all authorized users comply with this Agreement, the ToS, and the AUP. Participant accepts liability for any breach of this Agreement by its authorized users.
3. Participant Types and Pricing
3.1 Design Partner
Design Partners are early participants who provide structured, ongoing Feedback in exchange for privileged access to the Service and direct engagement with the DOSSIRI product team. Design Partner access is subject to the following terms:
- Access is provided at no charge during the Design Partner engagement period, or at a discount as specified in the signature block
- Design Partners are expected to participate in periodic Feedback sessions (frequency agreed at onboarding and documented in the signature block), provide written Feedback on features as requested, and share use case context with the DOSSIRI product team
- Design Partner status does not guarantee continued access, a specific feature set, or any particular pricing at general availability
- DOSSIRI may share product direction information with Design Partners in confidence; such information constitutes DOSSIRI Confidential Information
3.2 Alpha User
Alpha Users access the Service in an early, potentially unstable state prior to feature completion. Alpha access is subject to the following terms:
- Access is provided at no charge or at a discount as specified in the signature block
- Alpha Users are encouraged but not required to provide Feedback; structured Feedback sessions are optional
- Alpha Users acknowledge that the Service may be incomplete, may contain significant bugs, and may change substantially before general availability
- DOSSIRI may revoke Alpha access, reset data, or make breaking changes to the Service during the Alpha period with reasonable notice where practicable
3.3 Beta User
Beta Users access a more complete version of the Service prior to general availability. Beta access is subject to the following terms:
- Access is provided at no charge or at a discount as specified in the signature block
- Beta Users are encouraged to provide Feedback through in-Service mechanisms and direct communication with DOSSIRI
- Beta Users acknowledge that the Service may contain bugs, may change before general availability, and that specific features may be added, modified, or removed before launch
3.4 Pricing Terms
The pricing applicable to Participant’s Beta Program access is set forth in the signature block. Unless otherwise specified:
- 100% discount access (no charge) applies to Design Partners and Alpha Users
- Beta User discounts, if any, are specified in the signature block
- Beta Program pricing does not create an obligation on DOSSIRI to offer continued access at the same price after the Beta Period ends
- Transition to a paid subscription at general availability is subject to the standard pricing and terms in effect at that time, which DOSSIRI will communicate to Participant with at least 30 days’ advance notice before the Beta Period ends
3.5 Paying Beta Participants
If any Participant Type pays fees during the Beta Period, those fees and the applicable discount terms are specified in the signature block. The payment of fees during the Beta Period does not modify the terms of this Agreement with respect to warranties, data risk, or service availability, which apply equally regardless of whether fees are paid.
4. Feedback
4.1 Feedback License
Participant grants DOSSIRI a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to use, reproduce, modify, incorporate, and commercialize any Feedback for any purpose, without restriction, obligation, or compensation to Participant. This license survives termination of this Agreement.
4.2 No Obligation to Implement
DOSSIRI is not obligated to implement, act upon, or respond to any Feedback. The provision of Feedback does not create any obligation on DOSSIRI to develop, release, or maintain any feature, capability, or product direction.
4.3 Feedback Does Not Create IP Rights
Participant’s provision of Feedback does not give Participant any intellectual property rights in the Service or in any feature developed by DOSSIRI, even if DOSSIRI develops a feature substantially similar to Feedback provided by Participant.
4.4 Feedback Sessions
DOSSIRI may request periodic Feedback sessions with Participant, particularly for Design Partners. Participant agrees to participate in good faith in scheduled Feedback sessions during the Beta Period, subject to reasonable scheduling constraints. Sessions may be conducted by video call, phone, or written exchange at DOSSIRI’s discretion.
4.5 No Compensation
Feedback is provided voluntarily and without compensation beyond the access and pricing terms set forth in Section 3. Participant acknowledges that early access to the Service is adequate consideration for the obligations in this Section.
5. Confidentiality
5.1 DOSSIRI Confidential Information
Participant agrees to hold DOSSIRI Confidential Information in strict confidence and not to disclose it to any third party without DOSSIRI’s prior written consent. Participant may share DOSSIRI Confidential Information with its employees and contractors who need to know it for purposes of Beta Program participation, provided those individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those in this Agreement.
DOSSIRI Confidential Information includes, without limitation: product roadmap information shared in Feedback sessions, unreleased feature designs, pricing strategy, technical architecture discussed in product conversations, and Beta Feature specifications. DOSSIRI will identify information as confidential where practicable, but the absence of a confidentiality label does not mean information is not DOSSIRI Confidential Information if it would be reasonably understood to be confidential given the context.
5.2 Participant Confidential Information
DOSSIRI agrees to hold Participant Confidential Information in confidence and not to disclose it to third parties, except as required to provide the Service or as required by law. DOSSIRI will use Participant Confidential Information only for the purpose of operating the Service and engaging with Participant in the Beta Program. Customer Content entered into the Service is governed by the ToS and Privacy Policy and is not separately enumerated as Participant Confidential Information under this Agreement.
5.3 Standard of Care
Each party will use at least the same degree of care to protect the other party’s confidential information as it uses to protect its own confidential information of similar sensitivity, but in no event less than reasonable care.
5.4 Exclusions
Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known through no breach of this Agreement; (b) was known to the receiving party before disclosure without confidentiality restriction; (c) is received from a third party without restriction on disclosure; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the disclosing party’s confidential information.
5.5 Required Disclosure
If a party is required by law, court order, or regulatory requirement to disclose the other party’s confidential information, it will provide prompt written notice to the other party (where legally permitted) to allow the other party to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy before making the disclosure.
5.6 Duration
Confidentiality obligations under this Section survive termination of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years. Obligations with respect to trade secrets survive indefinitely.
6. Beta Disclaimers
6.1 Pre-General-Availability Status
The Service and Beta Features are provided in a pre-general-availability state. Participant acknowledges that:
- Beta Features may be incomplete, unstable, or subject to significant change
- The Service may contain bugs, errors, or defects that could result in unexpected behavior, data loss, or service interruption
- Feature behavior, user interface, and data structures may change materially before general availability
- Some Beta Features may not be included in the generally available version of the Service
- DOSSIRI may make breaking changes to the Service during the Beta Period
6.2 No Warranty
THE SERVICE AND BETA FEATURES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. DOSSIRI EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO BETA FEATURES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. DOSSIRI DOES NOT WARRANT THAT BETA FEATURES WILL FUNCTION AS DESCRIBED, THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE AVAILABLE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, OR THAT DATA WILL NOT BE LOST.
6.3 Data Risk
Participant acknowledges that use of Beta Features carries a risk of data loss or corruption. DOSSIRI strongly recommends that Participant maintain independent records of all Customer Content entered into the Service during the Beta Period. DOSSIRI is not liable for any data loss, data corruption, or loss of access to Customer Content arising from Beta Feature instability or Service changes during the Beta Period.
6.4 Intelligence Output Disclaimer
All Intelligence Outputs generated during the Beta Period are subject to the disclaimer in the AUP Section 2 and ToS Section 10, which are incorporated herein by reference. Intelligence Outputs during the Beta Period may differ materially from those available in future generally available releases of the Service. Participant must not rely on Beta Period Intelligence Outputs as representative of the quality, accuracy, or capabilities of Intelligence Outputs that will be available at general availability.
DOSSIRI outputs do not constitute compliance advice, legal advice, regulatory advice, validation guidance, quality advice, or professional advice of any kind. All Intelligence Outputs are provided solely as decision-support information. This applies with particular force during the Beta Period, when Intelligence Outputs may be generated by placeholder or development-stage providers.
7. Intellectual Property
7.1 DOSSIRI Ownership
DOSSIRI retains all rights, title, and interest in and to the Service, Beta Features, and all improvements, modifications, and derivative works thereof, including any improvements derived from Feedback. This Agreement does not transfer any ownership interest in the Service or Beta Features to Participant.
7.2 Customer Content Ownership
Participant retains ownership of Customer Content entered into the Service during the Beta Period, subject to the license granted to DOSSIRI under the ToS Section 4.2. Termination of this Agreement does not extinguish Participant’s ownership of Customer Content, but Participant’s ability to access Customer Content after termination is subject to the data retention practices described in the Privacy Policy.
7.3 No Implied License
Nothing in this Agreement grants Participant any license or right in the Service, Beta Features, or DOSSIRI’s intellectual property beyond the limited access right granted in Section 2.1. Participant may not copy, reproduce, modify, or create derivative works of the Service or any Beta Feature.
8. Limitation of Liability
8.1 Exclusion of Consequential Damages
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL DOSSIRI BE LIABLE TO PARTICIPANT FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR PARTICIPANT’S USE OF THE SERVICE DURING THE BETA PERIOD, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, DATA LOSS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EVEN IF DOSSIRI HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
8.2 Cap on Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DOSSIRI’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO PARTICIPANT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY PARTICIPANT TO DOSSIRI DURING THE BETA PERIOD; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS LIMITATION IS A MATERIAL TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT DOSSIRI WOULD NOT PROVIDE BETA PROGRAM ACCESS WITHOUT THIS LIMITATION.
8.3 Essential Basis
The limitations of liability in this Section reflect the nature of Beta Program access and the pre-general-availability state of the Service. They are an essential element of the basis of the bargain between DOSSIRI and Participant and would not be possible to offer on commercially reasonable terms without these limitations.
8.4 Exceptions
Nothing in this Section excludes or limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence.
9. Term and Termination
9.1 Term
This Agreement begins on the Agreement Date and continues until the Beta Period ends or the Agreement is terminated as described in this Section.
9.2 Termination by DOSSIRI
DOSSIRI may terminate this Agreement and Participant’s Beta Program access at any time, for any reason or no reason, with 14 days’ written notice. DOSSIRI may terminate immediately without notice if Participant materially breaches this Agreement, the ToS, or the AUP, or if Participant engages in conduct that DOSSIRI reasonably determines is harmful to the Service or other users.
9.3 Termination by Participant
Participant may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing written notice to DOSSIRI at hello@dossiri.com and ceasing all use of the Service. Termination by Participant does not entitle Participant to any refund of fees paid, if any.
9.4 Effect of Termination
Upon termination of this Agreement:
- Participant’s access to the Service and Beta Features ceases
- Participant must destroy or return any DOSSIRI Confidential Information in Participant’s possession upon written request from DOSSIRI
- Customer Content is subject to the data retention practices in the Privacy Policy (90-day retention period, after which Customer Content becomes eligible for permanent deletion from our systems)
- Participant’s transition to a standard paid subscription, if applicable, will be communicated by DOSSIRI at or before termination of the Beta Period with at least 30 days’ advance notice
- Sections 4 (Feedback), 5 (Confidentiality), 7 (Intellectual Property), 8 (Limitation of Liability), and 10 (General) survive termination
9.5 Transition to Paid Subscription
If DOSSIRI offers Participant the opportunity to transition to a paid subscription at the end of the Beta Period, the terms of that subscription will be governed by the ToS and the applicable subscription pricing in effect at the time of transition. Participation in the Beta Program does not guarantee any specific pricing, feature access, or subscription terms at general availability. Any transition pricing offer will be communicated in writing.
10. General Provisions
10.1 Relationship to ToS

The ToS, Privacy Policy, and AUP remain in full effect with respect to all aspects of Participant’s use of the Service not specifically addressed in this Agreement.
10.2 Entire Agreement
This Agreement, together with the ToS, Privacy Policy, and AUP, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to Participant’s participation in the Beta Program and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, or understandings relating to the subject matter hereof, including any verbal representations made during onboarding or Feedback sessions regarding product roadmap or future pricing.
10.3 Amendment
DOSSIRI may amend this Agreement with 14 days’ written notice to Participant. If Participant does not agree to an amendment, Participant may terminate this Agreement before the amendment takes effect. Continued use of the Service after an amendment takes effect constitutes acceptance.

Participant may not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder without DOSSIRI’s prior written consent. DOSSIRI may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section is void.

If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force.
10.7 Waiver
Failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce that provision in the future.
