This amendment governs this publicly downloadable evaluation edition and overrides conflicting legacy closed-beta wording below. No invitation, purchase, payment card, subscription or automatic renewal is required. The licence permits two active named users including the administrator on one workspace for 14 days from first workspace initialization. Core projects, requirements, tickets, basic budgets, CSV and local backup/restore are included. Email, notifications, AI, advanced Excel reports and cross-instance synchronization are unavailable. After expiry, authenticated reading, basic export and backup remain available; editing and restoring are blocked. User data is retained locally. Local trial state is not tamper-proof; deleting all local state can reset evaluation and is not an authorized extension. Updates/restarts alone do not renew the trial. Purchasing a paid edition is separate and is never automatic. Signed release candidates must have a valid ALKENS publisher signature and matching published SHA-256; the legacy unsigned-executable statement below does not apply to signed artifacts. Support: support@alkensdevelopment.ch. These are owner-review terms, not a claim of independent legal approval.

Important Beta notice: ReqBridge Team is pre-release software supplied free of charge for limited business evaluation. It may be incomplete, unstable, inaccurate, unavailable, insecure, or incompatible with later versions. Do not use it as the only repository for information or for safety-critical, life-critical, regulated, or irreversible operations. Make and verify independent backups.
This agreement is a prepared business-owner draft, not a statement that a lawyer or regulator has approved it. It applies only to the free, invitation-only Beta described here.
This Free Closed-Beta End User Licence Agreement ("Agreement") is between ALKENS Development ("Provider") and the invited business, organization, or professional accepting it ("Tester"). The individual accepting confirms that they have authority to bind the Tester.
The Tester must affirmatively accept this Agreement before receiving or using the Beta. Acceptance must identify this document version and release. If the Tester does not agree, it must not install or use the Beta.
Subject to this Agreement, the Provider grants the Tester a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, free licence during the Beta period to install and internally evaluate the approved ReqBridge Team Beta release for the number of named testers authorized by the Provider.
The Beta is licensed, not sold. No ownership or intellectual-property right transfers to the Tester. All rights not expressly granted remain with the Provider.
The Beta begins when access is provided and ends on the earliest of:
The Provider may suspend or terminate Beta access and updates at any time. On termination, the Tester must stop using and delete the Beta and any Provider-supplied access material, but may retain its own exported data and legally required records. Sections intended by their nature to survive—including ownership, confidentiality, disclaimers, liability, and governing law—survive.
The Tester may use the Beta only for internal evaluation by authorized personnel. The Tester must not:
The Tester acknowledges:
The Tester is solely responsible for:
The Tester must not use the Beta as the sole copy of any data and must not use it for emergency, medical, safety, life-support, legal-deadline, financial-control, or other use where failure could cause serious harm.
Workspace data is stored on infrastructure selected and controlled by the Tester, such as its device, local network, or shared storage. As between the parties, the Tester determines the purposes and means of processing that workspace data and is responsible for access, notices, permissions, retention, security, and backups.
The Provider does not routinely receive workspace content. If the Tester voluntarily sends logs, screenshots, exports, or workspace content for support, the Tester confirms it is authorized to do so and should minimize/redact personal, confidential, and secret information.
Beta administration, download, support, and security data is handled as described in the Free Closed-Beta Privacy Notice.
The Tester may provide feedback voluntarily. The Tester grants the Provider a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use, reproduce, adapt, and incorporate that feedback into products and documentation without identifying the Tester or disclosing the Tester's confidential information. The Tester is not required to disclose confidential information or assign ownership of its workspace content.
The Provider may offer reasonable Beta installation and activation assistance but promises no response time, resolution time, uptime, availability, maintenance window, update frequency, compatibility, data recovery, or continued Beta operation. Any assistance is provided on a reasonable-efforts basis and may end at any time.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE BETA, DOCUMENTATION, SUPPORT, UPDATES, AND RELATED MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS," WITHOUT EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER WARRANTY. THE PROVIDER DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, SECURITY, AVAILABILITY, COMPATIBILITY, AND ERROR-FREE OPERATION.
THE PROVIDER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; THAT DATA WILL BE PRESERVED, RECOVERABLE, OR COMPATIBLE WITH A FUTURE RELEASE; OR THAT THE BETA WILL MEET THE TESTER'S REQUIREMENTS. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT EXCLUDES A WARRANTY OR RIGHT THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PROVIDER IS NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE LOSS OR DAMAGE, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OPPORTUNITY, SAVINGS, GOODWILL, AVAILABILITY, OR BUSINESS CONTINUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE BETA, SUPPORT, UPDATES, THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TESTER'S DEVICES, NETWORK, STORAGE, PEERS, SMTP CONFIGURATION, SECURITY, OR BACKUPS.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH, THE PROVIDER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CUSTOMER-SIDE DATA LOSS, DATABASE OR FILE CORRUPTION, FAILED BACKUPS, FAILED RESTORES, DOWNTIME, UNAUTHORIZED LOCAL/LAN ACCESS, NETWORK OR FIREWALL MISCONFIGURATION, THIRD-PARTY STORAGE FAILURE, OR INCOMPATIBILITY WITH A LATER BETA, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LIABILITY CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PROVIDER'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE FREE BETA OR THIS AGREEMENT, UNDER ALL THEORIES OF LIABILITY, SHALL NOT EXCEED CHF 100.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability for unlawful intent or gross negligence, or any other liability that mandatory law does not allow to be excluded or limited. The parties acknowledge that this Beta is supplied free of charge and that this allocation of risk is a material basis of the arrangement.
To the extent permitted by law, the Tester will defend and indemnify the Provider against third-party claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from the Tester's unlawful content, lack of authority to process/share data, unauthorized redistribution, breach of Section 4, or use of the Beta in violation of law or this Agreement. This does not apply to the extent the claim was caused by the Provider's unlawful intent or gross negligence.
Each party must protect non-public information received from the other that is marked confidential or should reasonably be understood as confidential, using at least reasonable care. This does not cover information already lawfully known, public without breach, independently developed, or lawfully received from another source. A legally compelled disclosure may be made after notice where lawful.
The Tester must treat non-public installers, access links, licence material, security details, and unreleased features as Provider confidential information.
This Agreement is governed by Swiss law, excluding conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The courts at Lindau, Canton of Zurich, Switzerland have exclusive jurisdiction, except where a mandatory rule requires another forum.
This Agreement and the incorporated privacy notice/tester record form the entire Beta agreement. A waiver must be written. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum necessary and the remainder continues. The Tester may not assign this Agreement; the Provider may assign it with the relevant business or intellectual property. Notices may be sent to alkstodevelopment@gmail.com and to the Tester address in the acceptance record.
The English text governs if a convenience translation conflicts, except where mandatory law requires otherwise.
