Beta terms

Sovrasign Beta Terms. Version beta-1, effective 10 November 2026. These terms add to the Sovrasign Terms of Service. For the private beta and for beta features, they win if the two conflict on beta matters. They never override the data processing agreement or rights the law does not let us limit.

1. What these terms cover

1.1 Two things. These terms apply to:

• the private beta: use of Sovrasign by invited people before its public launch; and
• beta features: any feature marked "Beta" or "Preview" in the service, at any time.

1.2 Everything else. For everything these terms do not change, the terms of service apply, including the data processing agreement and the acceptable use policy. The privacy policy explains how we handle personal data in the beta, as it does after the launch.

2. Joining the private beta

2.1 By invitation. The private beta is by invitation only. An invitation is personal and works for the email address it was sent to. We decide how many people take part.

2.2 The usual rules. You must meet the terms of service: adults only (clause 3.1), no use from sanctioned places (3.4), and the acceptable use policy (Schedule 1).

2.3 Where. The private beta is open to people and organizations in the United States. Your data is stored in the United States region.

3. What is different in the beta

3.1 Work in progress. Beta features and the service during the private beta may change, may be incomplete, may contain bugs, and may be removed. We may ask you to sign in again or reset a setting. We never reset or delete your documents because the beta changes or ends; the retention and acceptable-use rules in sections 15 and 18 of the terms still apply.

3.2 No availability target. The availability target of clause 16.1 of the terms does not apply during the private beta or to beta features, and there is no service level. Maintenance may happen without notice.

3.3 Help. During the private beta you can write to support@sovrasign.com. A person reads every message.

3.4 Your documents are real. Envelopes you send in the beta are real: recipients receive real invitations, and the signed PDFs contain the same signatures and evidence as after the launch. Use the beta only for documents you are happy to sign this way.

3.5 They stay verifiable. Documents completed in the beta stay verifiable with our verifier after the beta and after the launch. We do not change the document format in a way that would make them fail to verify.

3.6 Keep your copies. Every party receives the signed PDF by email. Keep it, and do not use the beta as the only place where you keep a document you need.

3.7 Deadlines. If a delay of a few hours in sending or signing would harm you, do not rely on the beta alone for that document.

4. Price

4.1 Free unless you choose to pay. The private beta is free. We never charge you unless you choose a paid plan at checkout.

4.2 Beta allowance. Your invitation may give your account more than the Free plan for the beta, for example more envelopes or Pro features. Envelopes you send within that beta allowance do not count toward the 3 free envelopes of the Free plan (terms 6.4).

4.3 When the beta ends. The beta allowance ends. Your account continues on Free, with whatever is left of its 3 lifetime free envelopes (envelopes sent in the beta do not count against them), or on the paid plan you choose. On Free, documents completed during the beta stay in the cloud as clause 18.2 of the terms says.

4.4 Paying during the beta. If you start a paid plan during the beta, you pay the public price shown for that plan at checkout (with any published discount programme you qualify for, terms 6.10), and the price promises of terms 6.9 apply.

5. Feedback

5.1 Optional. We would like your feedback: short surveys, an occasional call, and reports of problems. All of it is optional.

5.2 Using feedback. We may use your feedback freely (terms 13.6). We do not publish your name, your logo or a quote from you without your written permission.

5.3 Your documents stay private. We never open your documents to learn from your feedback. When you report a problem, send us the error message and technical details, not document pages, field values, messages or attachments: support cannot look at document contents, even with your permission.

5.4 Beta emails. We email you about the beta: changes, surveys and its end date. Tell us if you want no more surveys; emails needed to run the service continue.

6. Confidentiality

You do not have to keep the beta secret. If we show you something we mark as confidential, such as a feature that is not released yet, do not share it until we release it, unless it is already public through no fault of yours or the law requires you to.

7. Problems and security

Report bugs and security problems to support@sovrasign.com or security@sovrasign.com. Do not test the security of the service except under our responsible disclosure policy (terms Schedule 1, part A, item 7).

8. Your data

8.1 Same protection. The privacy policy and the data processing agreement apply in the beta exactly as after the launch.

8.2 Nothing is lost at the end. Your account, documents and settings carry over into the public service. We do not delete beta data because the beta ends.

8.3 Usage data. As after the launch: events about how you use the app that are not needed to run it are collected only if you opt in.

9. Beta features after the launch

9.1 Ending a beta feature. We give at least 14 days' notice before we end a beta feature you use, unless security or the law requires a faster change. This does not override the price and feature promises of clause 6.9 of the terms of service or the consumer rights in terms 10.6 and 10.7.

9.2 No charge without your choice. We do not charge for a beta feature unless its label and the plan page say so. If a beta feature later needs a paid plan, we tell you before, and you are never charged unless you choose that plan.

10. Ending the beta

10.1 By us. We may end the private beta, or your part in it, with 14 days' notice by email, or sooner for security reasons or if you break the terms of service.

10.2 By you. You may leave the private beta at any time by telling us. Your account then continues under the terms of service, or you can close it (terms 18.1).

10.3 Envelopes in progress. Envelopes in progress when the beta ends complete normally, unless a restriction under section 15 or 18.6 of the terms of service, account deletion or the law stops them.

11. Liability

11.1 As they are. The private beta and beta features are provided as they are, as far as the law allows. Sections 19 and 20 of the terms apply to them.

11.2 Consumers. Nothing in these terms takes away rights that consumer law gives you and that a contract cannot remove (terms 19.5, 20.3 and 20.4).

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms with at least 14 days' notice by email, and we ask you to accept the new version when you sign in; silence or continued use is not acceptance. If you do not accept, you can leave the beta (10.2), with the rights section 23 of the terms of service gives you.
