Beta Programme Terms

These Beta Programme Terms (the "Beta Terms") apply to your participation in a private beta or early access programme of pvpit.gg or pvpit.net, as announced (the "Beta"). They supplement the Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy of the site concerned (together, the "Terms"), which continue to apply in full. Where the Beta runs on pvpit.net, the provisions of these Beta Terms about Coins, Tickets and the Store do not apply, since pvpit.net has none of these features. Capitalised words have the meaning given in the Terms. If these Beta Terms and the Terms conflict on a point specific to the Beta, these Beta Terms prevail for the duration of the Beta.

The Service is operated by KEYBONES 99 LTD, a company registered in the Republic of Cyprus (referred to as "PVPIT", "we", "us" or "our").

1. Access by invitation

1.1. Access to the Beta requires either an application submitted on the Service with your Steam account and accepted by us, or a personal invite code issued by us or by a person we have authorised. We select participants at our discretion and may keep applicants on a waiting list. A code can be used once, is linked to the Steam account that activates it, and expires on the date shown when it was issued.

1.2. Invite codes are personal. You must not sell, trade, publish or otherwise transfer a code. We may revoke a code or an account activated with a code at any time, including where a code has been shared.

1.3. The eligibility rules of the Terms apply to the Beta: at least 13 years old on pvpit.gg (or older where the law of your country requires a higher minimum age), at least 18 years old on pvpit.net. On pvpit.gg, the Store remains disabled for purchases during the Beta.

2. Nature of the Beta

2.1. The Beta is a pre-release version of the Service, provided for testing. It may contain errors, interruptions, incomplete features and changes without notice. Tournaments may be cancelled, rescheduled, replayed or voided, and results, scores, rankings, Coins, XP, levels, Tickets and missions may be corrected or adjusted where we consider it necessary to fix an error or to preserve fair play.

2.2. Features, schedules, prize pools and rules shown during the Beta are not final and may differ at launch.

2.3. The Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability sections of the Terms apply to the Beta in full.

3. Coins, Tickets and progression

3.1. Coins, Tickets, XP and levels earned during the Beta are subject to the Coins, Tickets and Tournaments and Virtual Features sections of the Terms, as applicable to the site concerned. They have no monetary value, cannot be withdrawn, exchanged or converted into money, cryptocurrency or anything of value outside the Service, and are not a payment or compensation for testing.

3.2. We currently intend that Coins, Tickets, XP and levels earned during the Beta remain on your account at launch, and that leaderboards are reset at launch. We reserve the right to adjust or reset balances where an error, exploit or breach of the Terms has affected them.

3.3. Purchases of Coins and purchases from the Store are disabled during the Beta. Any purchase that appears to succeed during the Beta is void.

4. Your role as a tester

4.1. We ask you to use the Service normally and to report the problems you encounter through the channels we indicate (the PVPIT Discord server). Reporting is voluntary.

4.2. We may ask some testers to carry out specific test actions (for example, deliberately missing a check-in or disconnecting during a match). Doing so at our request is not a breach of the Tournament Rules. Doing the same without our request is treated under the Fair Play and Conduct section of the Terms.

4.3. The Fair Play and Conduct section of the Terms applies during the Beta. Cheating, use of multiple accounts, abuse of an error or exploit for advantage, and abusive behaviour towards other testers or staff may lead to removal from the Beta and to termination under the Termination section of the Terms, and any such sanction carries over to the launched Service.

5. Feedback

5.1. Any suggestion, idea, bug report or other feedback you give us about the Service ("Feedback") may be used by us without restriction and without any obligation to you. You grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use, copy, modify and incorporate Feedback into the Service.

5.2. Feedback does not include your personal data, which is handled under the Privacy Policy.

6. Publicity and streaming

6.1. The Beta is not confidential. You may stream, record, publish and discuss your participation, including gameplay, screenshots and clips.

6.2. You must not present yourself as a representative of PVPIT, and you must not publish another tester's personal data without their consent.

7. Data

7.1. We process your personal data as described in the Privacy Policy. During the Beta we additionally process your application data, any invite code linked to your account, your Discord username where you provide it, match demos and gameplay logs, and the content of your bug reports and feedback, for the purpose of running the Beta, fixing errors and preparing the launch.

7.2. Match demos and gameplay logs may be reviewed by our staff for fair play and error investigation, as provided in the Terms.

8. Duration and end of the Beta

8.1. The Beta runs for the period we announce, in one or more waves. We may extend, shorten, pause or end the Beta, or end your participation in it, at any time.

8.2. At the end of the Beta, the access restriction is removed and your account continues as a regular account under the Terms, subject to section 3.2 above.

9. Governing law

The Governing Law and Disputes section of the Terms applies to these Beta Terms.
