7. The beneficiary`s obligations under this agreement will continue to apply after the termination of this contract. This agreement is governed by California laws and will be interpreted accordingly. The beneficiary agrees that a breach of this agreement causes irreparable harm to the company for which the recovery of damages would not be sufficient and that, therefore, the company is entitled to obtain requests for omission in a timely manner under this agreement, as well as an additional discharge which may be granted by a competent court.

In this clause, you indicate the type of license that will be granted to the tester and the restrictions that can be imposed. In addition, the developer must indicate here what an «acceptable use» of the product is. For a beta test, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited, revocable license is a usual choice, with the usual limitations of copying, reverse engineering and redistribution. As far as the use of the product is concerned, it should be linked to its documentation and limited by data and live environments.

Similarly, the developer refuses all explicit and unspoken guarantees for the application to be tested and the tester uses the application at his own risk.
As you send beta updates, it`s a good place to explicitly state that they are subject to the same conditions. Here is an example of the Paragoni apps: this clause makes the Betatester understand that the software is only provided for evaluation purposes and that you are not responsible for the damage caused by the use of the software by the beta tester. For example, if it damages the tester`s hard drive. This clause describes the software tester`s tasks of collecting and reporting test data. There is nothing to add here. Now let`s look at the clauses that are most often contained in a beta test agreement, their meaning and meaning. This is a valid agreement between `Companies` and `Companies`
