Before you start
This is a free, temporary evaluation agreement. No payment details are collected and no paid subscription is created during the trial.
Next Verse Ltd, company number 17163563, registered in England and Wales, registered office 10 Stadium Business Court, Millennium Way, Derby DE24 8HP (the “Supplier”), provides the trial access described in this Agreement to the person or organisation accepting it (the “Client”).
This Agreement is a blanket standard agreement for temporary evaluation access. It does not include client-specific scope, dates, user allowances or negotiated commercial variations.
Scope and acceptance
This Agreement applies only to the Client’s temporary evaluation access to the Next Verse platform and related trial functionality (the “Trial”). The Trial is not a paid service and does not create a commitment to purchase.
The Client accepts this Agreement by ticking the online acceptance box during account registration or otherwise confirming acceptance in writing. Acceptance of the full Next Verse Master Services and Licence Agreement does not, by itself, constitute acceptance of this Trial Agreement.
The full Next Verse Master Services and Licence Agreement applies only after the Client converts to the paid subscription and accepts it through the paid conversion flow.
Trial period
The Trial lasts for 7 calendar days from account activation. The account activation date and the trial end date will be shown to authorised users where the platform supports that display.
The Trial is free. No payment details or card information are collected during trial registration. No subscription, recurring charge or payment obligation is created during the Trial.
If the Client does not convert to a paid subscription, access ends when the Trial expires. The Client must not continue to use the platform after access has ended.
Conversion and pricing
If the Client wishes to continue after the Trial, it must use the payment link to subscribe to a 12-month paid term and accept the full Master Services and Licence Agreement at that point. The paid subscription does not begin until the payment flow and MSLA acceptance are complete.
Paid subscription pricing after the Trial is £500 plus VAT per month for unlimited users, with no extra charges.
Tailored integrations are available from £5,000 plus VAT and are scoped and priced separately. No tailored integrations or implementation work are included in the Trial. Any additional work or integrations must be agreed in writing before work begins.
Trial access and use
The Supplier grants the Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Trial solely for internal evaluation during the Trial period.
The Client must not use the Trial unlawfully, to infringe another person’s rights, to transmit malicious code, to probe or compromise security, to resell or provide access to third parties, or to develop a competing service. The Client must not use the Trial for production-critical workloads or submit special category or criminal offence data unless expressly agreed in writing.
The Trial may depend on third-party Platforms and is provided on an evaluation basis. The Supplier may change, limit or discontinue trial functionality as reasonably needed to operate the Trial securely.
Client responsibilities
The Client is responsible for providing accurate registration information, keeping account credentials confidential, using individual accounts where available, and promptly notifying the Supplier of suspected unauthorised access.
The Client is responsible for its users' acts and omissions and for reviewing any AI-generated output before relying on, publishing or using it. The Client must maintain appropriate safeguards for any data it submits to the Trial.
Confidentiality
Each party will keep the other party’s confidential information confidential and use it only to perform or receive the benefit of this Agreement. Disclosure is permitted to personnel, professional advisers and service providers who need to know the information and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
These obligations do not apply to information that is public without breach, was already lawfully known, is independently developed, or is lawfully received from a third party. A party may disclose information where required by law, subject to advance notice where legally permitted.
Data protection and security
The parties will comply with applicable data protection law, including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. The Client is the controller and the Supplier is the processor where the Supplier processes personal data on the Client’s behalf.
The Supplier will process personal data only to provide, support and secure the Trial, maintain appropriate confidentiality and assist with reasonable data protection enquiries. Client Data will not be used to train or improve a model made available to another customer.
The Supplier will maintain reasonable technical and organisational security measures appropriate to the Trial, including access control, secure transmission and incident response. The Client authorises the Supplier to use the subprocessors identified in the current subprocessor register.
The Supplier’s Privacy Policy explains how personal data is handled. The Client must not submit more personal data than is reasonably necessary for the evaluation.
Ownership and deletion
The Client owns, and retains ownership of, Client Data submitted during the Trial. The Supplier owns its platform, generic software and tools, reusable templates, generic know-how and other materials that are not uniquely created for the Client.
The Supplier retains a limited licence to use Client Data only as necessary to provide, support and secure the Trial and comply with legal obligations. The Client-specific materials created during the Trial remain subject to the platform and do not create a transfer of ownership of the platform itself.
Trial data will be deleted within 30 days after the Trial ends, unless a longer retention period is required by law or reasonably necessary to preserve a lawful deletion or compliance record. Trial users do not receive the contractual exit and migration support available to paid customers.
Any data export before deletion is provided only where technically available and agreed in writing. The Supplier is not required to provide paid-customer migration support for a Trial.
Suspension and expiry
The Supplier may suspend or restrict Trial access immediately where reasonably necessary because of misuse, a security concern, a legal requirement, suspected unauthorised access or a risk to the platform or another customer.
The Supplier may terminate the Trial for a material breach or security concern. If the Client does not convert, access ends after the 7-day Trial and the Supplier will schedule deletion of Trial data within 30 days as described in clause 8.
Suspension or termination does not create a right to a refund or payment, because the Trial is free. Provisions intended to survive, including confidentiality, data protection, ownership, deletion and liability, will continue.
Liability and general terms
Nothing in this Agreement limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded.
Subject to the previous paragraph and the next paragraph, the Supplier’s total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the free Trial shall not exceed £250,000.
The Supplier’s total aggregate liability for breach of confidentiality, data-protection obligations, security obligations, or unauthorised access to or disclosure of Client Data shall not exceed £1,000,000.
Subject to the first paragraph of this clause, the Supplier is not liable for loss of profit, revenue, business, anticipated savings, goodwill, reputation, indirect loss or consequential loss, or for any loss arising from the Client’s reliance on unreviewed AI output.
The Trial is governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. The Client may not assign this Agreement without the Supplier’s written consent. The Supplier may use contractors and third-party Platforms while remaining responsible for its obligations under this Agreement.
