Terms of Service

Last updated: October 19, 2026

Acceptance

By creating an account or using BetaConnect in any way, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. If you use the service on behalf of a company or another organisation, you are agreeing to these terms on its behalf too.

Account rules

• One account per person. Do not share credentials or let anyone else use your account.
• You are responsible for everything that happens under your account.
• You must be at least 18 years old to hold an account.
• We may suspend an account that breaks these rules, and we will tell you why whenever we are able to.

Acceptable use

Do not use BetaConnect to break the law, to harass or impersonate people, to scrape the service at scale, to resell access to it, or to submit content you do not have the right to submit. Do not attempt to overload, break, or reverse-engineer the scoring engine, the panel simulation, or any other part of the service.

You own your content

The briefs, notes, answers, and other material you submit stay yours. We claim no ownership of them. You give us permission to store, process, and display that material as needed to run the service — and that permission ends when you delete the content or close your account.

We own the service

BetaConnect itself — the scoring engine, the panel simulation, the scoring methodology, the interface, and the BetaConnect name and marks — is ours. These terms give you no right to copy, resell, or rebuild any of it.

Disclaimers

The service is provided as-is. Scores, bands, and panel simulations are analysis aids, not guarantees of commercial success, and not legal, financial, or investment advice. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, BetaConnect is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or business interruption. Our total liability for any claim arising from the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable there. Disputes go to the courts of Ontario.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 19, 2026

BetaConnect follows Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA): we collect what we need, we say why, and we do not sell it.

What we collect

• Your email address and password, when you create an account.
• The briefs, notes, answers, and messages you submit while using the service.
• Basic usage data — which pages and features you use — used to run and improve the service.
• Payment records for marketplace purchases. Card numbers are handled by our payment processor; we never see or store them.
• The email addresses you leave on a waitlist or notify-me form.

Why we collect it

• To create and secure your account.
• To score briefs, run the panel simulation, and produce research notes for you.
• To process marketplace purchases, adoptions, and reward redemptions.
• To send service email — account, purchase, and waitlist notices. We do not send marketing email unless you ask for it.

Who processes it

• Supabase hosts our database and authentication. Your account data and submissions live there.
• Cloudflare serves the site and protects it from abuse. Request metadata passes through its network.
• Selected AI engines generate the scores, panel simulations, and research notes. They receive the brief you submit and nothing more, and their output is stored with your account.

Each processor gets only what it needs to do its job, under contract, and we do not sell personal information to anyone.

Retention

Account data is kept while your account is open and for a reasonable period afterwards, then deleted. Waitlist and notify-me addresses are kept until the feature they belong to ships or you ask to be removed, whichever comes first.

Your access

You can ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, by emailing info@betaconnect.com. We verify identity before acting on either request, and we answer within thirty days.

Reward Program Terms

Last updated: October 19, 2026

Beta Points (BP) are a promotional reward for using BetaConnect. They are not currency, not an investment, and not a promise of future value.

Earning and value

BP is earned through promotional activity described in the app — for example validating a brief. The workspace tracks your balance and displays 100 BP as $1 — a display conversion, not a payout. BP may be redeemed for non-cash in-product perks listed in the workspace; those perks have no monetary value. No cash payout, credit at purchase, or cash-out exists yet, and these terms will say so before one is introduced.

Non-transferable

BP belongs to the account that earned it. It cannot be transferred between accounts, sold, bartered, or combined across accounts, and it cannot be exchanged for cash except as these terms describe.

Fraud and clawback

BP earned through fraud, automation, or abuse of the promotion is clawed back on discovery. Accounts that earn BP fraudulently may be suspended or closed, and any balance is forfeited.

Taxes

Rewards you receive may be taxable depending on where you live and how you earn them. Determining and paying any tax is your responsibility, not ours.

Redemption review

Non-cash in-product perk redemptions are recorded in the on-device points ledger and subtract the listed BP cost; a redemption may be reviewed before a perk is applied. Cash-out requests are interest only: they do not debit BP, create a credit, or trigger a payment, and no cash payout exists yet.

Marketplace Addendum

Last updated: October 19, 2026

This addendum governs buying and selling listings on the BetaConnect marketplace. It applies on top of the Terms of Service, and where the two differ on a marketplace question, this addendum wins.

A licence, not an intellectual-property transfer

A listing sells a licence to build from the evidence file, not the underlying intellectual property. The seller keeps ownership of the brief and the idea. What the buyer gets is the right to develop the idea, within the exclusivity they purchased, and the evidence file that supports it.

Seller representations

• The idea is yours to sell, and selling it breaks no agreement you are under.
• The score and band come from a real brief scored by BetaConnect.
• The thesis describes the idea honestly, without inventing customers, revenue, or traction.
• The evidence file delivered to the buyer is the one the engine produced.

Buyer obligations

• Payment is not live; the Purchase button records interest only.
• Use the evidence file within the licence you purchased.
• Do not resell or republish the evidence file itself.
• Do your own diligence — a score is an analysis aid, not a guarantee.

Exclusivity

An exclusive listing is delisted for everyone else once it settles, and the licence travels only to that buyer. A non-exclusive listing stays on the board and may be adopted or licensed again; every buyer receives the same evidence file and the original validator is credited on the listing.

Commission

When payment processing is live and a listing sells, BetaConnect would keep 20% of the sale price as commission. The remaining 80% would be paid out to the seller only once payment processing is live (it is not live today).

Disputes

If a listing does not match its description, email info@betaconnect.com with the listing id and what is wrong. A person reviews the evidence file against the description. Remedies are a refund or re-listing at our discretion, and a seller who misrepresents listings repeatedly is removed from the marketplace.

Sale is final after delivery

Once the evidence file has been delivered, the sale is final. You are buying a validated idea and its evidence — not a working product, a team, a company, or a promise of revenue.
