PLS is currently developing a software product under the working title, “Untamed Isles” (the “Game”). PLS has established a closed cohort testing program (the “Game Program”) to, among other things, allow a limited number of people to give feedback and comments to PLS, regarding the Game (including any versions thereof) as well as to test, at PLS’s sole discretion, the features, capabilities and performance of any other software or materials as may be provided by PLS as part of this Game Program (the “Game Software”). Collectively the Game and Game Software are referred to as the “Game Materials” in this Agreement. In order to participate in the Game Program, you must agree to the following provisions:

(A) You further represent and warrant that you are not a principal, employee, supplier, independent contractor, officer or director of any competing entity that develops, manufactures or publishes video or computer games. You represent and warrant that you are entering into this Agreement on a completely voluntary basis with no expectation of any form of compensation or remuneration whatsoever other than what is expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(B) You acknowledge that the Game Program shall run from the time you install, copy, download, access or otherwise use the Game Materials, and shall end upon the expiration of the Game Program, unless otherwise extended or terminated unilaterally by PLS at PLS’s sole discretion. Furthermore, PLS may, in its sole discretion for any reason and at any time during the Game Program terminate your participation therein without any form of compensation due to you whatsoever for this termination.

(C) PLS may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Game Program at any time.

(D) You agree that your participation in the Game Program does not constitute an employment Agreement or offer of such an agreement, between you and PLS and that PLS does not ask and/or require you to work a certain number of hours, shifts, etc. as part of your participation in the program and that your participation in the program is strictly voluntary and done solely for your personal enjoyment; and, further that PLS expects you only to use your leisure time to participate in this program, and does not expect you to forego other activities, including gainful employment, during the time you spend participating in this voluntary program. You may stop being a volunteer tester of the Game at any time that you wish.

(E) You agree that PLS is not providing you with any hardware to run PLS’s software or connect to PLS’s servers.

(F) You agree that while the role you will play in helping PLS develop better software is helpful;, it does not constitute a critical or vital role in the development of the Game or Game Software such as to entitle you to any claims of ownership or rights to receive any other compensation of any kind for your participation.

(G) You acknowledge and agree that all items acquired during the Game Program are non-refundable and non-tradable.

(H) You acknowledge and agree that PLS reserves the right to change/add/remove items collected or updated, modify or remove any items in the Game at any time and without warning.
