Beta Terms
Finsweet Legal Agreements and Policies for Products and Services
1. Welcome
1.1 Introduction
We're thrilled to have you use Finsweet's Products and Services. This document outlines the Beta Terms ("Terms") that govern your use of our offerings.
Finsweet Inc. is the company behind all the awesome Products and Services you're using. When we say "Finsweet," "we," "us," or "our" in these Terms, we’re talking about Finsweet Inc. When we say "you" or "Customer," we mean you - the individual or company using our Products and Services.
By using Finsweet's Products and Services, or accessing our content on any platform, you're agreeing to these Terms, so give them a thorough read. If you're accepting for a company or other legal entity, you're confirming you've got the authority to do so. In that case, "you" means that entity. By accepting these Terms, you're confirming that you have the right to enter into this agreement, either for yourself or on behalf of your company. If you're acting on behalf of a company, you're promising us that you have the authority to bind that company to these Terms.
Capitalized terms not defined in these Terms have the meaning given to them in our other applicable agreements referenced herein.
1.2 Products and Services
Finsweet’s “Products and Services” include:
- Products, like Wized, Attributes, Client-First, Components, and CMS Bridge
- Content, like SEO Guide, tutorials, documentation, educational resources, affiliate links, this website (Finsweet.com and any subdomain of Finsweet.com), and YouTube content.
- Tools, like Finsweet Extension, Support Forum, Open Source initiatives, code snippets, and repos
In our Agreement, we may say “Products” or “Services” to represent Products and Services. We’re always innovating at Finsweet, so this list of Products and Services may change. Any future Products that we create at Finsweet will also be covered under these Terms and the Agreement.
1.3 Applicable terms
When you use Finsweet's Products and Services, you're agreeing to these Terms, as well as our Acceptable Use Policy, Intellectual Property Policy, Cookie Policy, and any other applicable agreements or policies referenced on website’s legal pages (collectively, the "Agreement"). You can find these applicable agreements and policies at Finsweet.com/legal/home. If you're using specific Finsweet Products or Services, additional terms may apply—we'll make sure to let you know about those.
Remember, these Terms apply from the moment you start using our Products and Services until you decide to stop using them or your subscription ends.
Please take the time to read through this Agreement carefully. By using Finsweet's Products and Services, you're indicating that you understand and accept these terms. If something doesn't make sense or you don't agree with part of it, please don't use our Products and Services until we've had a chance to clarify things for you.
We know that was a lot of legal language, but it's important stuff. Here's what it means in simpler terms:
- By using our Products and Services, you're agreeing to all our terms.
- If you don't agree, you can't use our stuff.
- You're promising us you have the authority to agree to these terms.
- If you're agreeing on behalf of a company, you're confirming you have the power to do so.
2. Confidentiality
As a beta tester, you're getting special access to our latest innovations. We're trusting you to keep things private and safe. Here's what that means:
a) All Beta Product info is confidential. This covers their existence, features, performance, and any related docs.
b) Keep any insider knowledge about our development plans, marketing strategies, or business operations to yourself.
c) Don't share anything about being a beta tester unless we give you the green light in writing.
d) The Beta Products are for your eyes only - no sharing or distributing.
This confidentiality clause covers all communication forms - talking, writing, emailing, or any other communication form that we engage in. It stays in effect until we publicly release the info or Beta Product, or we let you know in writing that it's no longer private information.
If we release a Beta Product but keep some aspects (like future plans) secret, you can talk about the public stuff but keep the confidential bits to yourself.
