Subform Early Release Program: Terms & Conditions


#1

Welcome to the Subform Early Release Program

Subform is early release software, so there are a few things we want to emphasize before you get started.

  • Subform is under active development. Features may be added or removed, file formats may lose backwards compatibility, and bugs will occur. As such, it is not intended for use, and should not be used, in production or business-critical systems.

  • Subform is not for redistribution. Subform is licensed for your use only. Please don’t redistribute the software—we want those who have graciously contributed to this project the chance to use and influence it, first.

  • We are collecting data. In order to help us identify bugs and improve performance, we’ll be collecting diagnostic information about your use of Subform. This includes information about your design files. So if you’re working on anything that’s confidential or a trade secret, best to keep it out of Subform for now.

More detailed terms and conditions are below. Please read them carefully before proceeding.

Thanks! We can’t wait to hear your feedback.
