ASTEK SOFTWARE BETA EVALUATION AGREEMENT
Terms version: 2026-11-02

Copyright (c) 2026 Astek. All rights reserved.

By selecting "I accept the agreement", you agree to these terms. If you are
accepting for an organization, you confirm that you are authorized to do so.
If you do not agree, do not install or use the software.

1. OWNERSHIP
The Astek software and accompanying Astek documentation are proprietary to
Astek and are licensed, not sold. Astek retains all ownership and intellectual
property rights in them. No ownership rights are transferred to you.

2. LIMITED PERMISSION TO USE
If Astek has authorized you to receive this beta, Astek grants you a limited,
nonexclusive, nontransferable licence to install and use it solely for your
or your organization's internal testing and evaluation with Astek products.
You may make a reasonable backup copy for that authorized use. Other uses
require Astek's prior written permission.

3. NO UNAUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTION
You may not distribute, publish, upload, share, sell, rent, sublicense, transfer,
or otherwise provide the Astek software, installer, or Astek documentation to
any other person or organization without Astek's prior written authorization.
Do not remove or alter Astek's copyright, trademark, or ownership notices.
You may not modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Astek
software, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite
this restriction or Astek has authorized it in writing.

4. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS AND YOUR DATA
Third-party components remain the property of their respective owners and
are governed by their own accompanying licences. These terms do not restrict
rights granted under those licences. The Microchip agreement presented with
these terms applies separately to the MCP2221 library. Your own scripts,
measurements, captures and other independently created data remain yours;
this agreement does not transfer their ownership to Astek.

5. BETA SOFTWARE; NO WARRANTY
This is pre-release evaluation software and may contain defects or change
without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, it is provided
"AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without express or implied warranties, including
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and noninfringement.
Astek does not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation, support,
updates, or a future commercial release. Validate results before relying on
them and retain appropriate backups.

6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Astek is not liable for indirect,
incidental, special or consequential damages, or loss of profits or data,
arising from use of or inability to use this beta. Nothing in this agreement
excludes rights, warranties or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

7. END OF AUTHORIZATION
Your permission to use the beta ends if you breach these terms or Astek
withdraws your beta authorization by notice. You must then stop using and
delete your copies of the Astek software and Astek documentation, except
where retention is required by law. This does not require deletion of your
own scripts, measurements or captures.

Contact Astek for written permission to distribute the software or to obtain
commercial-use terms. No commercial or redistribution rights are implied.
