Beta Tester Agreement

This Beta Tester Agreement ("Agreement") is between Heidi Denney, doing business as Ripe Planner ("we," "us," "our"), currently operating as a sole proprietorship, and the individual or entity agreeing to test the Ripe Planner application ("you," "Tester"). By creating an account and accessing the beta version of Ripe Planner (the "Beta Service"), you agree to the terms below.

1. The Beta Service

Ripe Planner is a keyword research and content-planning tool currently in beta (pre-release) testing. The Beta Service is provided for evaluation purposes only.

The Beta Service is provided "AS IS," without warranties of any kind. It may contain bugs, errors, incomplete features, or data loss. Features, pricing, and availability may change or be discontinued at any time without notice.

2. Free Access

During the beta period, you will receive full Pro-tier access to the Beta Service, free of charge, for 120 days from the date your account is created ("Beta Period"). This is not an offer of permanent or continued free access; see Section 7 (End of Beta).

3. Feedback Requirements

Your beta access is conditioned on providing feedback at the following checkpoints:

• Midpoint check-in — a short feedback form (approx. 10 questions) at the halfway point of the Beta Period (60 days in)
• Final survey — a feedback form at the end of the Beta Period

If you do not complete a required check-in within 14 days of it becoming available, we may end your beta access early under Section 7.

4. Your Data

• You retain ownership of the keyword data, content plans, and other information you enter into the Beta Service ("Your Data").
• We will make reasonable efforts to keep Your Data available and intact during the beta, but we cannot guarantee against data loss given the pre-release nature of the software. Export your data regularly (built-in CSV export) as a backup.
• We may access Your Data as needed to operate, troubleshoot, and improve the Beta Service.
• Our handling of personal data (as opposed to keyword/content data) is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

5. Use of Feedback

If you provide feedback, bug reports, suggestions, or ideas about the Beta Service ("Feedback"), you agree that we may use, modify, and incorporate that Feedback into Ripe Planner (or any related product) without payment, credit, or other obligation to you.

6. Confidentiality

The Beta Service, its unreleased features, and any non-public information we share with you about our plans or roadmap ("Confidential Information") are confidential. You agree to:

• Not publicly post, publish, screenshot, or share Confidential Information (including on social media, forums, or review sites) without our prior written permission
• Not disclose Confidential Information to third parties, except to the extent necessary to provide Feedback to us directly
• Use reasonable care to protect Confidential Information, at least as much care as you use for your own confidential information

This confidentiality obligation survives the end of your participation in the beta and continues until the relevant information becomes publicly available through no fault of yours (e.g., we launch the feature publicly).

7. End of Beta

When the Beta Period ends for your account (whether because the beta concludes generally, your participation ends individually under Section 3, or otherwise), you will be notified and given a choice:

• Continue on a paid plan — Your Data carries forward and your account converts to a standard paid subscription at the then-current published pricing; or
• Export and/or delete — You may export Your Data (CSV export is built into the app) and/or request deletion of your account and Your Data.

If you do not choose within 30 days of notice, we may restrict access to your account until you do, but will not delete Your Data without further notice.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law: we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Beta Service, including loss of data, business, or profits, even if we were advised of the possibility. Our total liability for any claim arising from the Beta Service will not exceed $100 (given that access is provided free of charge).

9. No Warranty

The Beta Service is provided without warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. You use it at your own risk.

10. Termination

Either party may end this Agreement, and your access to the Beta Service, at any time for any reason. Sections 5, 6, and 8 survive termination.

11. Assignment

We may assign this Agreement, without your consent, to a successor entity, for example if we incorporate this business as an LLC or corporation, or in connection with a sale or reorganization of the business. You may not assign this Agreement without our written consent.

12. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If you reside in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer-protection or data-protection laws that cannot be waived by contract, nothing in this Agreement limits any rights you have under those laws, and this Section 12 applies only to the extent permitted by them.

13. Changes

We may update this Agreement during the beta period. We'll notify you of material changes (e.g., by email or in-app notice). Continued use after notice means you accept the updated terms.

14. Entire Agreement

This is the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Beta Service and supersedes any prior discussions.
