BETA TEST LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR NUMBERED BETA SITES
THIS BETA TEST LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR NUMBERED BETA SITES (the
“Agreement”) is entered into this day of November 2, 2015, between Career Solutions Group,
("Software Provider") having its principal offices at 430 Stover Street, Fort Collins, CO 80524
and the City of Fort Collins. Colorado, a home rule municipality (the "Beta Test Licensee")
having its principal offices at 300 Laporte Ave, Fort Collins, CO 80522 and is for Beta Site
Number1under this Agreement.
WHEREAS, Software Provider desires to develop and provide for beta testing certain
copyrighted software described in Exhibit A to this Agreement, currently being developed and
including any revisions, changes, documentation, and related material provided from time to
time (the “Prototype Software”);
WHEREAS, Beta Test Licensee desires the use of the Prototype Software for beta testing when
the Prototype Software is so developed, recognizing that the development of the Prototype
Software is not yet complete;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set
forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency whereof are
hereby acknowledged, the parties expressly agree as follows:
1. Prototype Basis: It is understood that the Prototype
Software to be provided represents a product being
considered by Software Provider for development.
Although the Prototype Software may be tested to some
degree in-house by Software Provider, the Beta Test
Licensee accepts the risk that it may not be fully or
adequately functional, that it may contain errors, that
documentation may be nonexistent or incomplete, and such
other risks as are incidental to a product for which
development is not yet complete. Software Provider will
provide reasonable technical support consistent with beta
testing standards, but provides no assurance that any
specific errors or nonconformities in the Prototype
Software will be corrected. Although Software Provider
believes that the Prototype Software will have sufficient
demand to justify its commercial production and therefore
intends to complete development, including resolving
issues raised during beta testing as commercially
reasonable, it may choose not to do so. The Beta Test
Licensee therefore accepts the Prototype Software with no
expectation of final development. It is understood that
development of the Prototype Software may not be
complete as of the date of this Agreement, and that the
Prototype Software will be provided to the Beta Test
Licensee when ready for beta testing in the sole judgment
and discretion of the Software Provider (the “Beta Test
Stage”). The Software Provider shall create and deliver a
pre-Beta Test Stage training and second training session at
the initiation of the Beta Test Stage anticipated in Jan. 2016.
2. License: As of the commencement of the Beta Test
Stage, Software Provider grants to Beta Test Licensee a
personal, non-exclusive, and non-transferable license
without the right to sublicense to use the Prototype
Software and any documentation provided only as follows:
a) to use the Prototype Software and any associated
documentation by employees of Beta Test Licensee only;
b) to use the Prototype Software and any associated
documentation for the human resources purposes of Beta
Test Licensee only; c) to copy the Prototype Software and
any associated documentation only as reasonably necessary
for archival and backup purposes. Except as otherwise may
be provided for herein, Beta Test Licensee agrees not to

4. Term: The term of this Agreement shall begin as of
the date of this Agreement and shall end two years
following the commencement of the Beta Test Stage. In
the event the Beta Test Licensee fails to abide by any term
of this Agreement and Beta Test Licensee fails to remedy
such default within 30 days of written notice, Software
Provider may terminate this Agreement at its sole
option. In the event of any termination, the Beta Test
Licensee agrees to return all materials embodying and
related to the Prototype Software and any documentation.
5. Upgrade: In the event Software Provider develops a
final product from the Prototype Software during the term
of this Agreement, such final product may be substituted
for the Prototype Software at the sole option of the
Software Provider, with all other terms and conditions of
this Agreement remaining the same.
6. Reporting: Beta Test Licensee agrees to periodically
or upon request report any errors or failures of the software
to perform as specified or expected and may make
suggestions concerning the development of the Prototype
Software, the implementation of such suggestions to be at
the sole option of Software Provider.
7. Warranty: The Prototype Software is offered with NO
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY WHATSOEVER.
THE PROTOTYPE SOFTWARE IS OFFERED AS IS
WITH ALL FAULTS. In no case shall Software Provider
be liable for any special, incidental, consequential, indirect,
or other similar damages based on the Prototype Software,
even if Software Developer has been informed of the
possibility thereof. The Beta Test Licensee agrees that
such limitations as to warranty are reasonable and therefore
accepts such risks. Notwithstanding anything else herein,
in no case shall liability of Software Provider under this
Agreement or otherwise be greater than the amount of the
sums paid under this Agreement from Beta Test Licensee
to Software Provider.
8. Non-disclosure: by Beta Test Licensee: The Beta Test
Licensee agrees that the Prototype Software and certain
documentation marked “Confidential” constitute
confidential information and trade secrets of Software
Provider. Accordingly, the Beta Test Licensee agrees to
take all reasonable steps to maintain and hold confidential
such information and trade secrets and to use such
information only for the benefit of Software Provider. It is
understood that such information shall include all
information considered by Software Provider to provide it a
competitive advantage to the extent it cannot be clearly
established that such information is currently utilized by
any of Software Provider's competitors. As an example,
but without limitation, such information shall include the
future anticipated functions of the Prototype Software,
trademarks used, and the software itself. Notwithstanding
any non-disclosure agreement, the parties acknowledge that
the City is subject to the Colorado Open Records Act
(C.R.S. 24-72-101 through 24-72-112) (“CORA”). Thus,
this Agreement and other Software Provider documentation
and information provided to the City hereunder may be
subject to public disclosure without liability to the City.
