Framewyre Beta / No-Fault Policy

Plain-English terms for using Framewyre while it is still in active beta.

Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE]  ·  Last updated: [LAST UPDATED DATE]

Draft notice. This document is an unreviewed template. It is not legal advice and has not been checked by an attorney. Every [PLACEHOLDER] must be completed and the whole document reviewed by a qualified lawyer before any customer relies on it.

1. Framewyre is in beta. Read this before you depend on it.

Framewyre is in active beta. It is real, working software that real contractors are using to run real jobs — and it is also still being built. Features are added, changed and removed. Bugs exist that nobody has found yet. There will be downtime.

This policy is part of the Terms of Service and applies for as long as your workspace is marked as being in the beta programme. Where this policy and the Terms of Service conflict, this policy controls during the beta period.

2. What “beta” means in practice

3. Keep your own records and backups

You must keep your own independent records. Framewyre is not your only copy and must not be treated as your system of record during beta.

We recommend a full export at least [RECOMMENDED EXPORT FREQUENCY]. If you cannot export something you need, tell us at [SUPPORT EMAIL] and we will help.

4. No warranty during beta

The beta Service is provided “as is”, “as available” and “with all faults”. To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or trade usage.

In particular, we make no warranty of fitness for your business: we do not warrant that Framewyre is suitable for your trade, your jurisdiction, your contract forms, your licensing or permit obligations, your tax treatment, or your record-keeping duties. Deciding whether it fits your business is your call, and you should keep the systems you already trust running alongside it during beta.

We also do not warrant that the beta Service will be available, uninterrupted, secure or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that any particular feature will ever ship or continue to exist.

5. No-fault: no liability for business losses during beta

This is the core bargain of the beta programme: you get early access at beta pricing, and in exchange you accept that using unfinished software carries risk you bear yourself.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any business loss arising out of or relating to your use of Framewyre during the beta period, including but not limited to:

This applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or otherwise) and even if we were told such loss was possible.

Cap. Where liability cannot be excluded entirely, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the beta Service is limited to the subscription fees you actually paid us in the three months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, such as liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you; the rest still does.

6. What we commit to during beta

The limits above are real, but they are not an excuse to be careless. During beta we will:

7. How to report a problem

Reporting bugs is the most valuable thing a beta customer can do. Please tell us even about small things.

Please include

  1. Your business name and the email you sign in with.
  2. What you were doing, step by step, and what you expected to happen.
  3. What actually happened, with the exact wording of any error message.
  4. The date and time (with time zone) and roughly how often it happens.
  5. A screenshot or screen recording if you can, with client details covered if sensitive.
  6. The device and browser you were using.

We aim to acknowledge reports within [SUPPORT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TARGET]. That is a target, not a contractual service level. If a bug has cost you money or put a job at risk, say so clearly in the first line — we will prioritise it.

8. When beta ends

We will tell you before Framewyre leaves beta, at least [END OF BETA NOTICE PERIOD] in advance, together with any change to pricing or terms. When beta ends this policy stops applying to your workspace and the general Terms of Service govern on their own. If you do not accept the post-beta terms or pricing, you may cancel before they take effect and export your data.
