Beta Tester Agreement
A beta tester agreement is a contract granting pre-release product access in exchange for confidentiality, feedback, and acceptance of unstable software risks. Use this when inviting users to a closed beta of software or hardware. It prevents public disclosure of features, limits liability for crashes, and clarifies that data may be wiped.
