Beta test license agreement.

THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into on _________[date], by and between _________, a _________ corporation located at _________("Vendor"), and _________, a _________ corporation located at _________("Licensee").

BACKGROUND

A. Vendor is in the process of developing a new software product designed to _________(the "Pre-Release Software"), which Vendor hopes to market in the near future.

B. Vendor would like to field-test a preliminary version of its Pre-Release Software so as to further refine and modify the product before it is generally released.

C. Licensee has expressed an interest in licensing a copy of the Pre-Release Software in advance of its general release in order to evaluate the Pre-Release Software for its own purposes and to assist Vendor in refining and modifying the Pre-Release Software so that it becomes more useful for its intended market ("Beta Test").

D. In exchange for early access to the Pre-Release Software, Licensee agrees to serve as a Beta Test site for the Pre-Release Software and to provide Vendor with its comments, criticisms, suggestions, and evaluations with respect to the Pre-Release Software during the Beta Test period.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. LICENSE GRANT

Vendor grants to Licensee, during the term of this Agreement, a temporary, non-exclusive license to use an executable version of the Pre-Release Software and its related documentation, for evaluation purposes, on [a single/_________] microcomputer(s) located at the address set forth above. Licensee may make copies of the Pre-Release Software for back-up purposes only, provided that Licensee reproduces Vendor's copyright and other proprietary rights notices on all such copies. This license does not include any rights to disclose, sublicense, or otherwise transfer the Pre-Release Software, related documentation, or other proprietary information of Vendor.

2. BETA TEST

Licensee understands and acknowledges that (i) it is participating in Vendor's Beta Test for the Pre-Release Software, (ii) it is receiving a preliminary version of the Pre-Release Software, and (iii) the Pre-Release Software may not operate properly, may not perform all functions for which it is intended or represented, and may not operate error-free. Licensee agrees to use the Pre-Release Software primarily for purposes of evaluation, agrees to provide Vendor with its comments, criticisms, and suggestions for changes with respect to the Pre-Release Software, and agrees to help Vendor identify any and all errors or malfunctions in the operation of the Software.

[ALT] Licensee understands and acknowledges that (i) it is participating in Vendor's Beta Test for the Pre-Release Software, (ii) it is receiving a preliminary version of the Pre-Release Software, and (iii) the Pre-Release Software may not operate properly, may not perform all functions for which it is intended or represented, and may not operate error-free. Licensee agrees to use the Pre-Release Software primarily for purposes of evaluation and to participate in Vendor's Beta Test as follows:

(a). For a period of _________ days from the date Licensee receives the Pre-Release Software (the "Test Period"), Licensee shall perform the tests outlined in the Beta Test Plan attached as Exhibit A. Licensee shall keep a written record of the test results together with any unusual, unplanned, or

extraordinary events observed by Licensee respecting the Beta Test Plan, supported by data, printouts, or other evidence of such events as appropriate.

(b). From time to time throughout the Beta Test period, Vendor may require additional or modified tests of the Pre-Release Software not set forth in the Beta Test Plan. Such tests will generally relate to modifications made to the Pre-Release Software. Any such additional or modified tests shall be performed by Licensee and the results recorded in the Beta Test Plan.

(c). Licensee's personnel shall report each instance of any failure or malfunction of the Pre-Release Software ("Program Failure") in full (including, without limitation, description of the application then underway and the specifics of the Program Failure). If any Program Failure results in damage to files or data or if the frequency of Program Failures is excessive under the circumstances, Licensee shall also promptly notify Vendor of this fact. Copies of the reports regarding Program Failures shall be forwarded to Vendor.

(d). Following termination of the Beta Test period, the Licensee shall prepare a Beta Test completion report as outlined in the Beta Test Plan. After the completion report has been submitted to the Vendor, the Beta Test of the Pre-Release Software will be deemed completed.

3. OWNERSHIP

The Pre-Release Software, the related documentation, and all authorized copies thereof shall remain the exclusive property of Vendor and shall not be used in any way other than as allowed by this Agreement. Licensee acknowledges that, as between Vendor and Licensee, the Pre-Release Software and its related documentation and all copyrights, trade secret rights, and other intellectual property rights with respect thereto, are and will at all times be the property of Vendor, even if suggestions made by Licensee are incorporated into subsequent versions of the Pre-Release Software or related documentation.

4. CONFIDENTIALITY

Licensee acknowledges that the Pre-Release Software, related documentation, and other related materials provided by Vendor, and the Beta Test results compiled by Licensee, are the confidential information of Vendor ("Confidential Information"). Licensee agrees to use the Confidential Information only for the limited term of this license and solely for the purpose of participating in Vendor's Beta Test, and further agrees to take all steps reasonably necessary to maintain and protect the Confidential Information in the strictest confidence for the benefit of Vendor. Licensee agrees that it will not at any time, without the express written permission of Vendor, disclose the Confidential Information directly or indirectly to any third person, except to employees of Licensee who have expressly agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

Confidential Information shall not include information that is (1) already in the public domain; (2) becomes generally known or available by publication, commercial use, or general sale of copies of the Pre-Release Software by Licensee; (3) discovered or created by Licensee independent of any involvement with Vendor or the Pre-Release Software; or (4) otherwise learned by Licensee through legitimate means other than from Vendor or anyone connected with Vendor.

Licensee's obligations with respect to the Confidential Information shall continue for the shorter of _________ (—) years from the date of its receipt of the Confidential Information, or until such information is subject to one of the exclusions set forth above.

5. DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES

THAT THE PARTIES EXPECT MAY CONTAIN SIGNIFICANT ERRORS, OMISSIONS, AND PROBLEMS. LICENSEE AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT VENDOR SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITIES TO LICENSEE TO CORRECT ANY DEFECTS OR PROBLEMS IN THE PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE OR THE RELATED DOCUMENTATION, OR TO ASSURE THAT THE PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE OPERATES PROPERLY.
