Beta Programme Terms and NDA
Beta Programme Terms and NDA
Univia Tax — UAE Tax Compliance & Business Records
Effective date: 4 August 2026 · Last updated: 19 Jul 2026
These terms apply to you if you have been invited into, and have accepted a place in, the Univia Tax beta programme. They supplement the Terms of Use. Where they conflict with the Terms of Use, these terms prevail for the duration of the Beta Period, except that clauses 16 (limitation of liability), 17 (indemnity), 18 (governing law), and 19 (regulatory non-affiliation) of the Terms of Use always prevail.
This document has two parts:
• Part A — Beta Programme Terms. Applies during the Beta Period.
• Part B — Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement. A severable annex, in force during the Beta Period and for the tail period stated in clause B.9. It can be terminated or disapplied without affecting Part A or the Terms of Use.
Definitions
"Beta Period" means the period from 1 September 2026 to 30 October 2026, as extended or shortened by Univia on notice to you. Univia will give at least 14 days' notice of the end of the Beta Period.
"Beta Features" means any functionality made available to you that is labelled beta, preview, early access, experimental, or which Univia identifies as not generally available.
"Feedback" means any comment, bug report, suggestion, feature request, evaluation, recording, survey response, or other input you give Univia about the Service.
PART A — Beta Programme Terms
A.1 What you are getting
A.1.1 Univia grants you access to the Service, including Beta Features, for evaluation and ordinary business use during the Beta Period.
A.1.2 Access during the Beta Period is provided [BETA COMMERCIAL TERMS — CONFIRM: free of charge / at a discounted rate / on the plan stated in your invitation]. Nothing in these terms commits Univia to any price after the Beta Period, and nothing commits you to subscribe.
A.1.3 Univia will tell you before the Beta Period ends what happens to your account, your data, and your pricing.
A.2 Beta Features change, break, and may disappear
A.2.1 Beta Features are under active development. They may change without notice, may behave inconsistently, may contain defects, may produce incorrect results, may lose data, and may be withdrawn entirely — including permanently, and including without a replacement.
A.2.2 Univia may reset, migrate, restructure, or delete data created through a Beta Feature where a design change requires it. Univia will give notice where it can, but during the Beta Period it may not always be able to.
A.2.3 Export your data regularly. Do not rely on the Service as your only copy of anything during the Beta Period.
A.3 Do not rely on the Service for a statutory deadline
[REQUIRES QUALIFIED LEGAL REVIEW]
A.3.1 This is the single most important term in Part A.
A.3.2 You must not use the Service as your sole basis for meeting a statutory tax filing or payment deadline during the Beta Period. Beta Features are unproven. Availability is not guaranteed. Computations may be incorrect.
A.3.3 Before making any filing that draws on the Service during the Beta Period, you must independently verify every figure — against your own records, and where the position is material or uncertain, with a qualified tax professional. Independent verification is a condition of participation, not a recommendation.
A.3.4 The AI and Professional Reliance Disclaimer (docs/legal/ai-and-professional-reliance-disclaimer.md) applies in full and with additional force during the Beta Period.
A.3.5 Univia accepts no liability for any tax, penalty, administrative fine, interest, or assessment arising from a filing made in reliance on the Service during the Beta Period, on the terms of clause 16 of the Terms of Use.
A.4 No SLA, no support commitment
A.4.1 There is no uptime commitment, no service level agreement, and no support response commitment during the Beta Period. Univia will make reasonable efforts to respond to beta participants promptly, because your input is valuable — but that is an intention, not an obligation.
A.4.2 Univia may suspend or restart the Service, deploy changes, and run maintenance at any time during the Beta Period without notice.
A.5 Feedback
A.5.1 Participation carries an expectation, but not an obligation, that you will give Feedback — through the in-product channel, by email, or in scheduled sessions.
A.5.2 Feedback licence. You grant Univia Global Consultancy and UNFI Technologies (FZE) a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable licence to use, reproduce, modify, and exploit Feedback for any purpose, including to develop, improve, and commercialise the Service and any other product, without restriction, attribution, or compensation.
A.5.3 Feedback is not your Confidential Information under Part B and is not treated as confidential, even if you mark it so. If you do not want Univia to be free to use something, do not put it in Feedback.
A.5.4 Do not include in Feedback: personal data about identifiable individuals beyond what is necessary to describe the issue; your clients' confidential information; or anything you are contractually barred from disclosing. Where a bug report requires a real record to reproduce, tell us and we will agree a safe way to share it.
A.5.5 Do not include third-party intellectual property in Feedback, and do not give Feedback that you are not free to license on the terms of A.5.2.
A.6 Use of your name
A.6.1 Univia will not name you or your business publicly as a beta participant, quote you, or use your logo, without your prior written consent, given per use.
A.6.2 Where you do consent, you may withdraw consent for future use on notice, and Univia will stop using the material within a reasonable period.
A.7 Priority and data during the Beta Period
A.7.1 Your data is protected during the Beta Period exactly as set out in the Privacy Notice and, where applicable, the Data Processing Addendum. Being in a beta does not lower the data protection standard.
A.7.2 Security controls are as described in docs/legal/security-and-incident-notice.md, including the residual risks recorded there. Read that document before joining.
A.8 Ending participation
A.8.1 You may leave the beta programme at any time on notice to support@univiaglobal.com .
A.8.2 Univia may remove you from the beta programme at any time, on notice, for any reason.
A.8.3 On the end of the Beta Period or your participation, you will be able to export your data for at least 30 days. Part B survives as set out in clause B.9.
PART B — Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (severable annex)
[REQUIRES QUALIFIED LEGAL REVIEW]Structural note for Univia: this Part is a self-contained annex with its own term, survival, and termination clause. To retire it at the end of the beta programme, disapply Part B by notice under clause B.10; Part A and the Terms of Use continue unaffected. Do not fold these obligations into the Terms of Use — keeping them here is what makes them removable.
B.1 Purpose
The parties wish to exchange confidential information in connection with your participation in the Univia Tax beta programme (the "Purpose"): Univia disclosing unreleased product information to you, and you disclosing business and tax information to Univia in order to use and evaluate the Service.
B.2 Parties
Univia: Univia Global Consultancy — Univia Global Consultancy L.L.C-FZ, Trade Licence No. 2534238.01, Meydan Grandstand, 6th Floor, Meydan Road, Nad Al Sheba, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Participant: you, and where you participate on behalf of a business, that business — [PARTICIPANT DETAILS].
Each party may act as Discloser and as Recipient. Obligations are mutual and reciprocal.
B.3 What is confidential
"Confidential Information" means any non-public information disclosed by one party to the other in connection with the Purpose, whether written, oral, visual, or in any other form, and whether or not marked confidential, which a reasonable person would understand to be confidential in the circumstances.
It includes, without limitation:
Disclosed by Univia: unreleased features, roadmap, designs, prototypes, screens, pricing not yet published, the architecture of the Service, the computation engine and its rules, prompts and system instructions, the law registry, source code, security posture and known vulnerabilities, commercial plans, and the existence and content of the beta programme.
Disclosed by the Participant: your business and financial information, tax positions, records, client information, commercial strategy, and any personal data within them.
B.4 What is not confidential
Information is not Confidential Information to the extent the Recipient can show it:
a. is or becomes public without breach of this Part; b. was lawfully known to the Recipient without a duty of confidence before disclosure; c. is lawfully received from a third party free to disclose it; or d. was independently developed by the Recipient without use of or reference to the Discloser's Confidential Information.
Feedback is excluded from Confidential Information by clause A.5.3.
B.5 Obligations
The Recipient will:
1. use the Confidential Information only for the Purpose;
2. not disclose it to anyone except its employees, officers, professional advisers, and contractors who need it for the Purpose and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as these — for whose acts and omissions the Recipient remains responsible;
3. protect it with at least the degree of care it applies to its own confidential information, and never less than reasonable care;
4. not copy or reproduce it beyond what the Purpose requires;
5. not reverse engineer, decompile, or analyse anything disclosed in order to derive the Discloser's trade secrets, engine rules, or source code; and
6. notify the Discloser without undue delay on becoming aware of any unauthorised use or disclosure, and cooperate in mitigating it.
B.6 Publicity about the beta
Neither party will disclose publicly — including on social media, in marketing, to the press, or to a competitor of the other — the existence or content of the beta programme, the other party's participation in it, or any unreleased feature, without the other's prior written consent. Clause A.6 governs Univia's use of the Participant's name.
B.7 Compelled disclosure
If a Recipient is required by law, regulation, court, or a competent authority to disclose Confidential Information, it may do so, provided it gives the Discloser prompt notice where lawful and practicable, discloses only the minimum required, and uses reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment.
B.8 No licence, no warranty, no obligation
B.8.1 Nothing in this Part transfers or licenses any intellectual property. All Confidential Information remains the Discloser's.
B.8.2 Confidential Information is disclosed as is, with no warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.
B.8.3 Nothing in this Part obliges either party to disclose anything, to proceed to a commercial relationship, or to release any product.
B.8.4 This Part is not exclusive and does not restrict either party from doing business with anyone.
B.9 Term and survival
B.9.1 This Part comes into force when you accept these terms and continues for the Beta Period.
B.9.2 The confidentiality obligations in clauses B.5, B.6, and B.7 survive for [NDA TAIL — CONFIRM: 3 years proposed] after the end of the Beta Period, in respect of Confidential Information disclosed during it — except that trade secrets remain protected for as long as they qualify as trade secrets under applicable law.
B.9.3 On the end of the Beta Period, each party will, on the other's written request, return or destroy the other's Confidential Information and confirm it has done so — except for (a) copies held in routine backups, which remain subject to this Part until deleted in the ordinary backup cycle, (b) one archival copy retained by legal or compliance for the purpose of evidencing compliance, and (c) the Participant's own business data held in the Service, which is governed by the Terms of Use and the Privacy Notice, not by this clause.
B.10 Disapplication of this Part
B.10.1 Univia may disapply this Part in whole by giving the Participant written notice, with effect from the date stated in the notice — for example, on the general availability of the Service. Disapplication takes effect prospectively only: obligations already accrued, and the survival period in clause B.9.2 for information already disclosed, are unaffected.
B.10.2 Disapplication of this Part does not affect Part A, the Terms of Use, or the mutual confidentiality obligations at clause 8 of the Terms of Use, which continue independently.
B.11 Remedies
Each party acknowledges that damages may be an inadequate remedy for breach of this Part, and that the Discloser is entitled to seek injunctive relief in addition to any other remedy. The cap on liability at clause 16.3 of the Terms of Use does not apply to a breach of this Part.
B.12 Governing law
This Part is governed by, and disputes under it are resolved in accordance with, clause 18 of the Terms of Use: UAE federal law as applied in Dubai, with Dubai Courts subject to mandatory rights.
Acceptance
[REQUIRES QUALIFIED LEGAL REVIEW]
Acceptance is by click-wrap, not by signature. By clicking to accept, by accepting a place in the beta programme, or by using a Beta Feature, you accept Part A and Part B and confirm you have authority to bind the business you represent. No handwritten or electronic signature is required for this Part to bind you.
Record of acceptance. Univia records each acceptance and retains, as evidence that this Part was accepted and of the version accepted:
1. the user identifier of the accepting account;
2. the version identifier of the document accepted (see the version field in this document's front matter);
3. the date and time of acceptance, recorded to the second in UTC; and
4. the originating IP address.
Where this document is materially amended, a new version identifier is issued and acceptance is requested again. Continued use after a version change without re-acceptance does not constitute acceptance of the new version.
Separately signed NDA for deep-access parties. Click-wrap acceptance is appropriate for ordinary beta participants. It is not relied upon alone for parties given deep access to Univia's confidential information — contractors and employees with production or source-code access, UN Finance Cockpit users, and investors or counterparties conducting diligence. For those parties a separately signed non-disclosure agreement is additionally recommended and should be obtained before access is granted. This paragraph records a recommended control, not a limitation on the effect of click-wrap acceptance against a party who has accepted it.
Signature block retained for the separately signed NDA route only; it is not used for click-wrap acceptance.
