NixBlox Beta Program Terms

Version 1.1 — Effective September 8, 2026 · replaces Version 1.0 (September 4, 2026) · what changed

These Beta Program Terms (“Beta Terms”) are an agreement between you and NixBlox LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (“NixBlox,” “we,” “us”). They govern your participation in the NixBlox beta program, including beta access to the NixBlox Designer desktop application, the organization portal at app.nixblox.app, and the cloud services that support them (together, the “Beta Services”).

These Beta Terms supplement the NixBlox End User License Agreement (version dated September 8, 2026; the “EULA”), which governs use of the desktop software, and the Terms of Service (version dated September 8, 2026; the “Terms of Service”), which govern the websites and cloud services. Our Privacy Policy (version dated September 8, 2026) describes how we handle information. If these Beta Terms conflict with the EULA or the Terms of Service on a topic specific to the beta program, these Beta Terms control during the beta.

By checking the acceptance box after signing in to your verified account, you agree to these Beta Terms, the EULA, and the Terms of Service, each in the version linked beside the box. You cannot use the Beta Services without accepting them. Nothing else — not submitting a beta request, not installing the software, not using it, not visiting a website — constitutes acceptance.

1.Acceptance and Our Records

Participation requires affirmative acceptance of these Beta Terms. When you accept, we record the acceptance: the agreements and versions you accepted and cryptographic hashes of both the canonical source and the rendered static artifact for each accepted agreement; your email address and your account identifier; your organization and role and whether you accepted personally or on behalf of an organization (a personal acceptance and an organizational acceptance are separate records); the representations you made about your age, location, and authority; the date and time (UTC); your IP address and browser or device information; and where the acceptance occurred. These records are retained as described in the Privacy Policy and are kept to document the agreement between us. For each version of each agreement we archive the exact text presented to you and record a hash of both its source and the page served at the versioned address, so what you accepted can be accurately reproduced. You may request a copy of your acceptance record and of the terms you accepted at any time at support@nixblox.app.

Submitting a beta request does not constitute acceptance of the agreements governing use of the Beta Services and does not authorize access. If the request form includes an acknowledgment checkbox, we retain that acknowledgment as part of the request record. After signing in to your verified account, you must separately accept the current Beta Program Terms, EULA, and Terms of Service before using the Beta Services.

If we materially change these Beta Terms, or materially change the EULA or Terms of Service in a manner applicable to the Beta Services, we will publish the revised agreement and prompt you to accept it before continued use of the applicable Beta Services. Prior versions remain available at the addresses recorded in your acceptance.

1a.Who May Accept

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into this agreement. During the beta, participation is offered only to individuals located in the United States and organizations established in the United States. When you accept, you represent that you are located in the United States; viewing our public website or submitting a request from another country does not guarantee eligibility for beta access.

Organization Accounts. An “Organization Account” is a workspace within the Beta Services. A Personal Organization Account is an account structure for one individual and is not treated as a separate legal entity; the individual account holder’s personal acceptance governs its use, and no organizational authority is claimed or required. A Business Organization Account is used on behalf of a company or other legal entity and becomes bound only when a currently authorized administrator separately accepts the applicable agreements on its behalf.

If you create or administer a Business Organization Account, you separately represent that the entity is established in the United States and that you have authority to bind it to these Beta Terms, the EULA, and the Terms of Service. If you do not have that authority, you may not create or administer the Business Organization Account on its behalf. If you accept on behalf of an entity, “you” means that entity. Acceptance in your individual capacity does not bind an entity. A Business Organization Account becomes bound only when a currently authorized administrator separately accepts the applicable agreements on its behalf, and until that organizational acceptance is completed its members may sign in, view and personally accept the agreements, view the organization’s acceptance status, contact support, close their own user accounts, and sign out; only a currently authorized administrator may accept on behalf of the organization or request a copy of its content or its closure under the procedures in the Terms of Service; members receive no access to organization content through that account until organizational acceptance is complete. One authorized administrator’s acceptance binds the entity to that version of the agreements; a new organizational acceptance is required after a material change to the agreements, not merely because a different administrator is later appointed.

Every individual who uses the Beta Services through any Organization Account (an “Authorized User”) must personally accept the current agreements and, in their individual capacity, comply with all provisions that by their nature apply to an individual user, including the license and use restrictions, confidentiality, Feedback, Customer Content and Acceptable Use requirements, AI and product-library rules, and Professional Responsibility provisions. The entity behind a Business Organization Account is also responsible for its Authorized Users’ use of the Beta Services.

2.Beta Access

Beta access is currently provided free of charge, at our discretion, for the purpose of evaluating and improving NixBlox products.

3.Beta Software — Expectations and Your Data

The Beta Services are provided “AS IS” and may contain errors. Beta features, file formats, and online services may change or be discontinued without notice, except that discontinuation of cloud project storage in its entirety is subject to the notice and retrieval provisions in Terms of Service §7, unless notice or retrieval is prohibited by law or would create a material security risk. We make no other commitment regarding availability, data retention, or migration of beta data (EULA §7–§9; Terms of Service §7, §10–§11).

Do not make the Beta Services the only home of critical data. The desktop application keeps local files; keep your own backups of projects and exported deliverables. Cloud storage during the beta is a convenience and collaboration layer, not a system of record.

Your uploads. You represent that you have all rights and permissions necessary to upload, store, and process Customer Content through the Beta Services, including any client drawings, floor plans, bills of material, or building information it contains. Unless NixBlox expressly agrees otherwise in writing, you must not upload classified information, protected health information, payment-card data, export-controlled technical data, or other specially regulated information; the Beta Services are not designed for it.

Design output produced with NixBlox tools must be verified by a qualified professional before use for procurement, installation, or construction (EULA §4).

4.Confidentiality of Unreleased Features

The beta program may expose you to nonpublic information that NixBlox discloses to you as confidential: nonpublic source code, credentials, security-sensitive technical details, nonpublic technical documentation, roadmaps, pricing concepts, unreleased features, and nonpublic benchmark or test data supplied by NixBlox and identified as confidential (“Beta Confidential Information”). You agree to keep Beta Confidential Information confidential, to use it only to participate in the beta program, and not to disclose it without our written permission. You may share it with coworkers and professional advisers who need it to help you evaluate the Beta Services and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as these. You remain responsible for their compliance with these confidentiality obligations.

Honest reviews. Nothing in these Beta Terms restricts your right to make an honest review or express an honest opinion about NixBlox, the Beta Services, or our conduct, including a negative review. You may not disclose nonpublic source code, credentials, security-sensitive technical details, nonpublic technical documentation, roadmaps, screenshots or recordings that reveal unreleased features, or other information that qualifies as a trade secret or confidential commercial information and was disclosed to you as confidential, except where disclosure is permitted or protected by law.

These obligations do not apply to information that (a) is or becomes public through no fault of yours; (b) you already lawfully knew before receiving it from us; (c) you independently develop without using it; (d) you lawfully receive from another source without a duty of confidentiality; or (e) you are required to disclose by law or court order, provided you give us reasonable notice where lawful. Nothing in these Beta Terms prevents you from reporting a suspected violation of law to a government agency or from making any other disclosure protected by law.

These obligations survive the end of your participation for two (2) years, except that Beta Confidential Information that is a trade secret remains protected for as long as it remains a trade secret. Your own Customer Content is not Beta Confidential Information.

5.Feedback

We ask beta participants for feedback — bug reports, suggestions, feature requests, and impressions (“Feedback”). You are not required to provide Feedback. If you do, you grant NixBlox a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable, and sublicensable non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, develop, commercialize, and otherwise exploit that Feedback for any purpose, without attribution or compensation. This license does not transfer ownership of your Customer Content, and Feedback does not include your Customer Content. You represent that you have the right to provide the Feedback and that it does not contain another party’s confidential information.

6.Ownership; What We Collect During the Beta

You retain ownership of your work. The projects, designs, drawings, bills of material, and other content you create with or store in the Beta Services (“Customer Content”) remain owned by you, your organization, or the applicable third-party owner. As between NixBlox and you, NixBlox does not acquire ownership of Customer Content merely because it is created with or stored in the Beta Services. Any limited rights NixBlox requires to host, process, display, or transmit Customer Content are provided in the EULA and Terms of Service.

We own the product. NixBlox retains all right, title, and interest in the Beta Services, including the application, its source code, architecture, user-interface designs, NixBlox-specific workflows, documentation, branding, updates, analytics systems, and improvements developed by NixBlox, including improvements made during or arising from the beta program. Nothing in these Beta Terms gives NixBlox ownership of Customer Content or of a participant’s general skills, experience, ideas, methods, or know-how.

Diagnostics and usage data. To operate and improve the Beta Services, we collect diagnostic, performance, security, and feature-usage data as described in the Privacy Policy. NixBlox owns aggregated or de-identified analytics and product insights derived from diagnostic, performance, security, and feature-usage data. NixBlox does not analyze the contents of Customer Content to create generalized product datasets or train models.

Product library. Certain features extract factual information from publicly available vendor sources — for example, when you paste a manufacturer’s product page, the service may extract the manufacturer name, model number, part number, connector types, technical specifications, and the product’s public address (“Public Product Data”). NixBlox may use Public Product Data to populate and improve a shared product library that benefits all NixBlox users. These features are designed to learn product facts, not your project designs: they do not automatically select or upload your project files, and they send NixBlox and its AI provider only the extracted text of product pages and any spec-sheet document you choose — so do not select a file or address containing project, client, personal, confidential, credential, or export-controlled information. Shared-library contributions are intended only for product facts obtained from publicly available manufacturer sources; do not contribute information taken from customer, confidential, distributor-restricted, or other non-public materials, and NixBlox may reject or remove a contribution if its source cannot be verified. Shared product-library entries contain Public Product Data only: they do not include Customer Content, and they are not presented as originating from or associated with any particular customer or organization. As described in the Privacy Policy, limited operational records temporarily associate product-extraction requests with your account and organization for metering, rate limiting, moderation, and abuse prevention; they are never published as part of the library.

Vendor materials. Vendor names and trademarks belong to their respective rights holders, and copyrightable images, manuals, and other materials remain protected by their owners’ rights. NixBlox does not claim ownership of vendor materials merely because they are referenced in the Beta Services. Their display or reference does not imply endorsement or affiliation, and NixBlox does not control third-party websites or warrant the availability, accuracy, or continued accessibility of third-party materials.

Your use of vendor materials. You are responsible for determining whether you have permission or another lawful basis to access, reproduce, or include vendor images, manuals, and other protected materials in your projects or exported deliverables. A material’s availability on a public website does not by itself grant permission to copy or redistribute it. Do not use the Beta Services to access or reproduce materials in violation of applicable law or binding access restrictions.

7.Your Responsibilities

You agree to: use the Beta Services under the EULA and Terms of Service (including the Acceptable Use rules in Terms of Service §5); keep your account email current (license keys and invitations are bound to email addresses); and report security issues you discover to support@nixblox.app rather than exploiting or publicizing them.

8.Term and Ending Participation

You may leave the beta program at any time by stopping use and uninstalling the software, and you may request closure of your user account by contacting support@nixblox.app. Terms of Service §8 describes the three closure paths — a user-only closure within a Business Organization Account, closure of a Personal Organization Account, and closure of a Business Organization Account — which of them starts the content lifecycle below, and what happens to the members of a closed Business Organization Account (their user accounts are not closed). We may suspend or end your participation at any time, including if required agreements remain unaccepted, if the program ends, or as provided in the EULA and Terms of Service. Sections 4, 5, 6, and 9 survive the end of your participation.

The end of your individual participation does not delete your local files — locally stored Customer Content remains yours. A user-only closure or removal within a Business Organization Account does not close that account or trigger deletion of its cloud-stored Customer Content. When an Organization Account itself — Personal or Business — or NixBlox’s provision of Services to it is terminated, its cloud-stored Customer Content is handled as described in Terms of Service §8: unless continued retention or access is prohibited by law, involves unlawful content, or would create a material security risk, NixBlox preserves that account’s cloud-stored Customer Content for 30 days after that termination, during which a verified administrator (or, for a Personal Organization Account, the account holder) may ask NixBlox for a copy of that content by contacting support@nixblox.app — NixBlox may provide one at its discretion as a courtesy, and does not undertake to do so; continued online access is not guaranteed, and after that period the content is deleted as described in the Privacy Policy. NixBlox does not guarantee that terminated accounts or cloud data can be restored. The desktop application is designed to save project files locally; confirm that the local files and backups you wish to keep are complete and accessible before your access ends — ending access does not cause NixBlox to delete project files already stored on your device.

9.General

These Beta Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules; the state courts located in Wayne County, Michigan and, where federal subject-matter jurisdiction exists, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over disputes arising from them. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the warranty disclaimers and liability limits in the EULA (§8–§9, version dated September 8, 2026) and the Terms of Service (§10–§11, version dated September 8, 2026) apply fully to the Beta Services, including the aggregate cap of US $50 where no fees were paid or payable under an applicable paid subscription or order. That cap is one combined aggregate cap across the Software, the Services, the Beta Services, the EULA, the Terms of Service, and these Beta Terms together, not a separate cap under each. If you accept on behalf of an entity through a Business Organization Account, the indemnification provision in Terms of Service §9 applies to that entity’s participation. Nothing in these Beta Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law. These Beta Terms, together with the EULA and the Terms of Service, are the entire agreement regarding the beta program. The Privacy Policy describes our information practices and is not part of this agreement.
