Beta Test Agreement & Software License

Last updated: 19 June 2026 · Applies to the Beta release of Mergewright

This is pre-release BETA software. It is provided for evaluation and testing only, may contain defects, and could change, malfunction, or lose data. Do not rely on it for production or business-critical work, and keep independent backups of your repositories and data.

This Beta Test Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a binding agreement between you (“you”) and Norbert Pascu, the developer of Mergewright (“Mergewright”, “we”, “us”). By downloading, installing, or using the Mergewright beta (the “Software”), you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not download, install, or use the Software.

1. Beta nature of the Software

The Software is a pre-release, beta version made available so that testers can evaluate it and provide feedback. It is not a final product. It may be incomplete, contain bugs or errors, behave unexpectedly, and is offered without any commitment that a final version will be released. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Software (or the beta program) at any time without notice or liability.

2. Licence grant

Subject to this Agreement, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the Software on devices you own or control, for the sole purpose of evaluating and testing it during the beta period. The Software is offered as a free time-limited trial; continued use after the trial may require a paid licence key once available. This is a licence, not a sale; we retain all right, title, and interest in the Software.

3. Restrictions

You may not, and may not permit others to:

copy, redistribute, sublicense, rent, sell, or otherwise make the Software available to third parties;
reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this limitation;
remove or alter any proprietary notices; or
use the Software for any unlawful purpose.

4. Your data and responsibilities

Mergewright is local-first: it runs on your machine and operates on the git repositories and files you choose. You are solely responsible for your data, repositories, credentials, and for maintaining independent backups. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss of or damage to your code, data, repositories, or configurations arising from use of the Software.

5. Feedback

If you provide feedback, bug reports, ideas, or suggestions (“Feedback”), you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use, modify, and incorporate that Feedback into our products and services without restriction or obligation to you. Please do not include confidential information in Feedback.

6. No warranty

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF DATA LOSS.

7. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) CHF 50. Nothing in this Agreement excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

8. Term and termination

This Agreement applies for the duration of the beta program and your use of the Software. We may suspend or terminate the beta, your access, or this Agreement at any time. On termination or expiry of the beta, you must stop using and remove the Software. Sections 4–7 and 9 survive termination.

9. Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of Switzerland, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts of Switzerland have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory local consumer-protection law provides otherwise.

10. Privacy & changes

Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy. We may update this Agreement; material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above, and continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
