Founder Beta Participation Terms

The beta lets the founder use the features specified in the invitation to test them and give feedback. Features may be incomplete, change or stop, and do not represent a promise of launch, continuation or a commercial result. The invitation sets out the duration, scope, limits and the operating entity.

Unless Bouteek expressly confirms otherwise through a documented notice or approval, participation in the beta is limited to testing the features, accounts and functions specified in the invitation using the approved means and test environments.

In test mode only, the participant may not accept real purchase orders, collect actual payments from customers, carry out test transactions as real commercial orders or present test products as available for actual purchase. The approved test payment methods and test data must be used, without entering real payment card details in test environments.

Actual selling may be activated only after Bouteek expressly approves it for the participant concerned and the Seller Agreement and commercial schedule, payment, delivery, returns and consumer protection arrangements and the relevant legal and operational requirements have been completed.

In all cases, authorised real commercial transactions are subject to the terms and policies that apply to customers and to the mandatory legal rights and obligations, and describing the service as a beta does not release any party from its responsibilities for those transactions.

The participation invitation specifies whether the beta is free or paid, how long it can be used, the usage limits, the AI credit units or promotional benefits granted, and the date or event on which it ends.

Free or promotional beta benefits are reserved for the approved participant and may not be transferred, resold or exchanged for cash unless Bouteek expressly announces otherwise. These benefits may be restricted or ended for legitimate reasons relating to misuse, security, technical limits or the end of the beta, subject to contractual and legal rights.

The end of beta participation does not result in a paid subscription, an automatic charge or a move to a commercial plan unless the fees and terms have been disclosed in advance and the consent required by law has been obtained. The rules on free benefits do not apply to purchased balances or paid entitlements, which are subject to the terms of their purchase and the refund rights established by law.

You must be legally eligible and have the authority to provide what you share. You accept these terms, the platform terms, the Privacy Notice and the AI terms before entering, and Bouteek may admit or restrict participants according to proportionate criteria that are disclosed where required.

Use the service to test your business or idea lawfully and safely. Do not share credentials, unnecessary sensitive personal information or materials you do not have the right to use. The feedback you give is optional suggestions that grant Bouteek a non-exclusive licence to use it to improve the service, without publishing your data or your private idea as public without a basis or separate permission.

Within the rights the participant is able to grant, submitting non-confidential feedback and suggestions about the beta grants Bouteek a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence, for the term of protection of the relevant intellectual property rights, to use, copy, modify and incorporate that feedback in developing, operating, improving and marketing Bouteek's products, services and technologies.

This licence does not transfer ownership of the participant's business ideas, private documents, confidential information, personal data or any other underlying materials, and does not oblige Bouteek to implement the suggestions or pay for them.

The participant's name, image, logo, testimonial or profile story may not be used in promotional materials that identify them without obtaining the appropriate permission.

Data is processed under the Privacy Notice. Participation is not to be read as a confidentiality commitment by Bouteek for information the parties have not identified or that cannot be handled confidentially in the service. However, the beta terms do not grant a general licence to exploit private business information or use it to train models without disclosure and a lawful basis. Separate confidentiality arrangements in force are governed by their own provisions.

The participant must not publish, distribute, broadcast or make available screenshots, recordings, demonstrations, technical information or details of unannounced features of the beta without Bouteek's prior written consent.

The participant may share the information needed for testing with people authorised to take part who are bound to protect it, or send it to Bouteek through the approved testing and support channels. Approval to publish a particular item is not a general authorisation to publish other beta information.

The parties must protect information that has been expressly identified as confidential or that is reasonably understood to be confidential from its nature and the circumstances of its disclosure, in accordance with the applicable agreements. These provisions do not prevent disclosures that are required or protected by law, good-faith reporting to the competent authorities or the exercise of mandatory legal rights.

Results and scores are indicative and may be inaccurate or incomplete; review them before acting. They are not a certificate, licence, investment assessment or guarantee of acceptance, sales or funding. Do not use them as evidence of regulatory approval, product safety or intellectual property rights.

Participation does not give a right to a public store, sales, investment, partnership, preferential pricing or a future invitation, unless expressly provided for in an approved document.

Participation may be suspended or ended proportionately in cases of misuse, security risks, legal requirements or the end of the beta. Termination deals with access, content and record retention according to the notice and mandatory rights.

When participation in the beta ends, access to beta features, workspaces, test data and saved AI context may stop or change, in accordance with the disclosed beta arrangements and the relevant legal obligations.

Bouteek provides only the access, export or migration options to commercial accounts that have been approved and disclosed to the participant. Continued access for a specific period, an export function, data recovery or automatic transfer to a commercial subscription is not guaranteed unless Bouteek expressly confirms it.

The participant is advised to keep independent copies of the business materials they need, where this is lawful and technically possible. Bouteek may delete test and simulation data or stop making it available in accordance with the disclosed arrangements and legal retention requirements, without prejudice to obligations relating to personal data protection, confidentiality and security and existing contractual rights.

Requests to access, correct or erase personal data remain subject to the Privacy Notice and the legislation in force.

The participant may ask to withdraw from the beta through the support channel or the approved and disclosed procedure. Bouteek may end or suspend the beta when its term expires, the beta feature is stopped, a material breach occurs or there are legitimate security or legal reasons, subject to notice and the applicable contractual rights.

The end of participation does not remove obligations relating to authorised real commercial orders, refunds, financial dues, confidentiality, record retention or any rights and obligations that continue by their nature or under the law.

8.1 Liability: Each party is responsible for its obligations and breaches under these terms and the laws and legislation applicable in the United Arab Emirates. Neither the beta nature of the platform nor any provision of these terms is to be read as an exemption from liability for legal obligations that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

8.2 Limits of liability: Subject to clause (8.1) and any applicable mandatory legal provisions, Bouteek is not liable for a breach or damage arising solely from an act or omission of another party, where it is shown that the breach or damage is not attributable to an act or omission for which Bouteek is legally responsible. This clause is not to be read as exempting Bouteek from liability for its own obligations or for any act or omission for which it is legally responsible, or as reducing consumer rights under the legislation in force.

The parties will seek in good faith to settle disputes arising from use of the platform or transactions concluded through it amicably by contacting Bouteek through the official support channels shown on the platform. Amicable settlement procedures do not prevent any party from referring the matter to the competent authority or taking the legal action available to it under the law.

These terms are governed by and interpreted under the laws of the United Arab Emirates, and the competent courts of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi have jurisdiction to decide disputes arising from them.
