IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE BETA TERMS, THEN DO NOT ACCESS OR USE, OR AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO ACCESS OR USE, THE BETA SERVICE(S).
1. RESTRICTIONS. All access to and use of any Beta Service(s) is subject to these Beta Terms as well as all restrictions, limitations and qualifications applying to use of “Services” under the applicable 8x8 Terms and Conditions (located at https://www.8x8.com/terms-and-conditions?locale=us for customers of 8x8 Inc., or https://www.8x8.com/terms-and-conditions?locale=uk for customers of 8x8 UK Limited t/a 8x8 or otherwise specified in an 8x8 service agreement) (each applicable Terms and Conditions is herein referred to as “Terms and Conditions”), including but not limited to 8x8’s Use Policy (e.g., https://www.8x8.com/terms-and-conditions/use-policy). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the applicable Terms and Conditions or an 8x8 service agreement.
You may use a Beta Service solely for testing and evaluation in accordance with their intended purpose and, subject to customary mobile use, primarily at the location set forth in the beta letter provided by 8x8, if applicable. You shall not permit anyone other than an employee, contractor or other representative authorized by the customer with which 8x8 is contracted to provide the Services (“Customer”) to use a Beta Service. Customer is responsible for the actions or omissions of its employees, contractors, agents or other authorized representatives when a Beta Service is used.
2. NO WARRANTY; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. ANY BETA SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WHERE YOUR USE OF A BETA SERVICE IS DONE SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. For purposes of any representation, warranty, commitment, or agreement of 8x8, a Beta Service is not a “Service” under the Terms and Conditions or, if applicable, 8x8 service agreement. 8X8 EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE BETA SERVICE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, 8X8 MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT ANY BETA SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS AND/OR THAT A BETA SERVICE WILL BE TIMELY, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. Absent 8x8’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, 8x8 shall have no liability for any direct, indirect, special or consequential damages, losses or claims arising from the use of or inability to use the Beta Service, even if advised of such possibility.
3. CONFIDENTIALITY. During the term of your access to the Beta Service(s) and for a period of at least 3 years thereafter, you shall keep all information concerning the Beta Service(s) (the “Confidential Information”) confidential and agree (a) not to make any disclosure of Confidential Information to any third party except with 8x8’s written consent; (b) not to use Confidential Information except for the purpose contemplated by these Beta Terms; and (c) to protect Confidential Information with the same degree of care as Customer uses to protect its own Confidential Information against public disclosure, and in any event no less than reasonable care. The obligations set forth in Section 3 shall not apply to any Confidential Information (i) that 8x8 releases to the general public or that otherwise enters the public domain through no fault of Customer or (ii) that is required to be disclosed pursuant to a subpoena, court order or other lawful process.
4.TERM AND TERMINATION. These Beta Terms shall remain in effect until the expiration or termination of any applicable beta testing period(s) for the Beta Service(s); provided, that these Beta Terms may be terminated at any time with or without cause. For avoidance of doubt, 8x8 may discontinue Beta Service(s) at any time and has no obligation to make a Beta Service available in general release. Upon termination of these Beta Terms or the applicable beta testing period(s), you shall immediately cease accessing and using a Beta Service.
5. FEEDBACK. You hereby assign to 8x8 all right, title and interest (including intellectual property rights) in and to any improvement, suggestion, correction or feedback, enhancements thereon, and any contributions to 8x8 literature and marketing materials (collectively, “Feedback”) you provide relating to the Beta Service.
