3. Nature of the Beta Service
3.1 Experimental Product. The Beta Service is a pre-release product provided for testing and evaluation only. It may contain defects, errors, and security vulnerabilities; may produce inaccurate, incomplete, offensive, or misleading output; may write incorrect data to Connected Services; may be interrupted, rate-limited, throttled, or unavailable; and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without notice. Features, security measures, and controls described in marketing materials, documentation, or the Verbatm website may be in development, may operate differently than described, or may not yet be implemented, and no such description constitutes a representation or warranty.
3.2 No Compliance Certifications. Participant acknowledges that during the Beta Period the Beta Service is NOT certified, audited, or represented to be compliant with any legal, regulatory, or industry framework, including without limitation SOC 1/SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, GLBA, FERPA, FedRAMP, or any similar standard. Participant is solely responsible for determining whether its use of the Beta Service is permissible under laws, regulations, and contractual obligations applicable to Participant, and shall not use the Beta Service where such use would violate any of the foregoing.

Company may delete such data without notice and without liability, and Participant’s breach of this Section is grounds for immediate termination.
3.4 Third-Party AI Models. The Beta Service relies on third-party large language models and AI infrastructure selected by Company in its sole discretion, which Company may change at any time without notice. Participant Data processed by the Beta Service may be transmitted to and processed by Subprocessors. Company makes no representation regarding the accuracy, behavior, data handling, or availability of any third-party model. Participant shall not, and shall not permit any Authorized User to: (i) use the Beta Service in violation of any applicable AI provider’s acceptable use or usage policies; (ii) attempt to jailbreak, manipulate, or circumvent model safety systems; or (iii) attempt to extract model weights, system prompts, or training data.
3.5 High-Risk Use Prohibited. The Beta Service is not designed for, and shall not be used for or in connection with: medical diagnosis or treatment; legal advice; emergency services; employment, credit, housing, insurance, or other consequential decisions about individuals; safety-critical systems; or any use where an error could result in death, personal injury, or severe environmental or property damage.
3.6 Usage Limits. Company may impose, change, or enforce usage quotas, rate limits, command limits, seat limits, and other restrictions at any time. Exceeding limits may result in errors, degraded performance, or suspension, none of which shall constitute a breach by Company or entitle Participant to any remedy.
3.7 No Obligation to Release. Company has no obligation to release a commercial version of the Beta Service, to maintain any feature, or to migrate Participant Data or configurations to any future version.
4. Beta Period; Termination; Suspension
4.1 Term. The Beta Period begins on the Effective Date and continues for thirty (30) days, unless extended in writing (email sufficing) by Company or terminated earlier under this Section.
4.2 Termination for Convenience. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason or no reason, upon notice (email or in-product notice sufficing). Company may suspend or restrict access immediately, without notice, if Company suspects misuse, security risk, legal exposure, breach of this Agreement, or excessive usage.
4.3 Data Export; Deletion. For fifteen (15) days following expiration or termination (the “Export Window”), Participant may request an export of Participant Data held by the Beta Service in a commercially reasonable format. Data residing in Connected Services remains in those services and is unaffected. After the Export Window, Company may delete Participant’s beta account and associated Participant Data, provided that Company may retain logs, audit records, Usage Data (as defined in Section 9.2), and copies required for legal, security, or compliance purposes.
4.4 Survival. Sections 1, 2, 3.2–3.5, 4.3, 4.4, 5.2, and 6 through 17 survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.
5. License and Restrictions
5.1 License. Subject to this Agreement, Company grants Participant a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Beta Service during the Beta Period, solely for Participant’s internal evaluation by its Authorized Users.
5.2 Restrictions.

This Section survives termination.
6. Voice Data; Recording Consents
6.1 Consent to Voice Processing. Participant, on behalf of itself and each Authorized User, consents to the capture, processing, transcription, and temporary storage of Voice Data by the Beta Service and its Subprocessors for the purposes of providing the Beta Service, debugging, and quality improvement. Participant shall ensure each Authorized User is informed of, and consents in writing (electronic consent sufficing) to, such processing before first use.
6.2 No Biometric Identification. The Beta Service uses Voice Data to transcribe speech into text and generate responses. Company does not use Voice Data to create voiceprints or biometric templates for the purpose of identifying individuals. Voice Data is retained no longer than thirty (30) days and is then deleted or de-identified, except as required for legal or security purposes.
6.3 Third-Party Communications. If Participant uses any feature that captures, summarizes, or processes communications involving persons other than the speaking Authorized User (including meeting debriefs, call summaries, or email threads), Participant represents and warrants that it has obtained all consents required under applicable law — including all-party consent to recording where required — from every person whose communications are captured or processed. Participant shall not use the Beta Service to record or intercept any communication in violation of federal or state wiretap, eavesdropping, or privacy laws.
7. Participant Responsibilities; Participant Data
7.1 Sole Responsibility for Participant Data. As between the parties, Participant owns and is solely responsible for Participant Data, including its accuracy, legality, integrity, backup, and the means by which it was acquired. Participant is the controller (or the party responsible under applicable law) with respect to personal data processed through the Beta Service and is solely responsible for compliance with all applicable privacy and data protection laws, including providing all required notices to, and obtaining all required consents from, data subjects (including Participant’s customers, prospects, employees, and email correspondents) before connecting systems containing their data.
7.2 Connected Services. Participant’s connection of any Connected Service is voluntary and at Participant’s sole risk. Participant represents that it has all rights, licenses, permissions, and organizational authorizations necessary to connect each Connected Service and to authorize the Beta Service to read from and write to it. Company is not a party to Participant’s agreements with Connected Service providers and is not responsible for their availability, security, data handling, API changes, or any suspension of Participant’s accounts by such providers.
7.3 Review and Confirmation of Actions. The Beta Service is designed to propose actions for confirmation before writing to Connected Services. Participant acknowledges that this design may fail, malfunction, or produce previews that differ from executed results. PARTICIPANT IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING AND APPROVING EVERY ACTION, AND FOR ALL CHANGES MADE TO CONNECTED SERVICES THROUGH PARTICIPANT’S ACCOUNTS, WHETHER OR NOT CONFIRMED, INTENDED, OR CORRECT. Participant shall maintain current, independent backups of all data in Connected Services throughout the Beta Period and shall verify all AI Output before relying on it or transmitting it to any third party.
7.4 AI Output Not Advice. AI Output is generated by statistical models, may be inaccurate, and does not constitute professional, legal, financial, accounting, or tax advice. Participant’s business decisions, communications (including emails, Slack messages, and invoices sent through the Beta Service), and records remain solely Participant’s responsibility.
7.5 Account Security. Participant is responsible for safeguarding credentials and for all activity under its accounts and those of its Authorized Users, and shall promptly notify Company of any suspected unauthorized access.
8. Data Protection; Security; Breach Notice
8.1 Company’s Role. To the extent Company processes personal data contained in Participant Data, Company acts as Participant’s service provider (as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended) and processor (as defined under applicable state privacy laws, including the Colorado Privacy Act). Company shall: (a) process such personal data only to provide, secure, debug, and improve the Beta Service and as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, and not for any other commercial purpose; (b) not sell or share (as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA) such personal data; (c) not retain, use, or disclose such personal data outside the direct business relationship between the parties, except as permitted by applicable law; and (d) require its Subprocessors to protect such personal data to a substantially similar standard. Company certifies that it understands and will comply with the restrictions in this Section 8.1.
8.2 Subprocessors. Participant authorizes Company’s use of the Subprocessors identified at verbatm.ai/subprocessors. Company may update the list from time to time; continued use of the Beta Service after an update constitutes acceptance.
8.3 Security. Company shall maintain commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Participant Data, appropriate to the pre-release nature of the Beta Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BETA-STAGE SAFEGUARDS HAVE NOT BEEN INDEPENDENTLY AUDITED AND THAT NO SECURITY MEASURES ARE PERFECT.
8.4 Breach Notice. If Company confirms a breach of security leading to unauthorized access to or disclosure of unencrypted Participant Data in Company’s possession, Company shall notify Participant without undue delay and provide information reasonably available to Company about the nature of the incident. As controller, Participant is solely responsible for determining whether and how to notify affected individuals, regulators, or other parties, and for the content, timing, and cost of any such notifications. Company’s notification obligations under this Section are Participant’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to notice of any security incident, and nothing in this Section expands Company’s liability beyond the limits in Sections 12 and 13.
8.5 Limited Confidentiality of Participant Data. Company shall not disclose Participant Data to third parties except: (a) to Subprocessors as necessary to provide the Beta Service; (b) as directed or permitted by Participant; (c) as required by law, subpoena, or legal process; or (d) as necessary to enforce this Agreement or protect the rights, safety, or property of Company or others. This Section states Company’s entire confidentiality obligation with respect to Participant Data and is subject to the limitations in Sections 12 and 13.
9. Feedback; Usage Data; Publicity
9.1 Feedback Assignment. Participant hereby irrevocably assigns to Company all right, title, and interest in and to Feedback, and Company may use Feedback for any purpose without restriction, attribution, or compensation.
9.2 Usage Data. Company may collect and use telemetry, logs, and usage data relating to the Beta Service (including prompts, commands, transcriptions, error data, and interaction data) (“Usage Data”) to operate, secure, debug, and improve the Beta Service and Company’s products, and may use de-identified or aggregated Usage Data for any lawful purpose.
9.3 Publicity. Company may identify Participant by name and logo as a beta participant in Company’s marketing materials and website. Participant may opt out at any time by written notice. Neither party shall issue a press release regarding this Agreement without the other party’s consent.
10. Confidentiality of Company Information
10.1 The Beta Service, its existence, features, roadmap, performance, pricing, documentation, security information, and all non-public information disclosed by Company are Company’s confidential information. Participant shall not disclose such information to any third party, and shall not publish screenshots, benchmarks, reviews, or descriptions of the Beta Service, without Company’s prior written consent. These obligations survive for three (3) years after termination, and indefinitely for trade secrets. Breach of this Section may cause irreparable harm for which Company is entitled to seek injunctive relief without posting bond.
11. Intellectual Property
11.1 Company and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Beta Service, Usage Data, Feedback, and all related intellectual property. No rights are granted except as expressly stated in Section 5. As between the parties and to the extent permitted by law, Participant may use AI Output generated for it during the Beta Period for its internal business purposes, at its own risk.

13. Limitation of Liability
13.1 EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY COMPANY PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR DATA, OR FOR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

13.4 Basis of the Bargain. The parties acknowledge that the disclaimers and limitations in Sections 12 and 13 are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain, that the Beta Service is provided free or at nominal cost in reliance on them, that Participant’s participation is voluntary and revocable at will, and that these provisions apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations; in such jurisdictions, the foregoing apply to the fullest extent permitted.
14. Indemnification by Participant

16. General
16.1 Amendments. Company may modify this Agreement during the Beta Period by providing notice (email or in-product notice sufficing).

Company will maintain records of the version of this Agreement accepted by Participant and the date and account of acceptance.
16.2 Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence.
