Terms and conditions

1. Who we are

The demo is provided by VNE Technologies (“we”, “us”, “our”), a business established in England and Wales. To confirm: legal entity name, company number and registered office. You can contact us at legal@vne.example.

These terms apply to your use of the public demo of VNE PMO Toolkit for Microsoft Dynamics 365 (“the demo”), including its landing page and sign-in page. They don't apply to a licensed deployment of the software, which is covered by its own agreement.

2. The demo

The demo lets you explore the toolkit with a fully populated, fictional programme, signed in as a fictional administrator. It is free of charge and provided only so that you can evaluate the software.

• The demo is provided “as is” and “as available”. We don't promise that it will be available at any particular time, uninterrupted, error-free or suitable for any purpose.
• There are no service levels, support commitments or response times.
• Some features are switched off in the demo, for example sending email, changing accounts or security settings, and connecting to other systems. They are marked with a lock.
• We may change, suspend or withdraw the demo, or any part of it, at any time and without notice.
• The demo is intended for business users evaluating the software. You must be at least 18 to use it.

3. Daily reset

Demo data resets every day at 00:00 UK time.

UK time means the time in London: Greenwich Mean Time in winter and British Summer Time in summer. The reset restores the original fictional programme and permanently deletes every change made by visitors since the previous reset, together with its version history, the activity log and any uploaded files.

The demo may also be reset at any other time: any visitor can reset it from the top bar, and we may reset it for maintenance or security. Don't use the demo to store anything you want to keep. We can't recover data after a reset.

4. A shared environment

Everyone who opens the demo uses the same programme as the same demo administrator. That means:

• other visitors can see, change and delete what you add, until the next reset;
• you may see content that other visitors have added. We don't check it in advance and we are not responsible for it, but you can tell us about anything inappropriate (see section 15);
• changes are recorded in the demo's activity log under the demo administrator's name, not yours.

5. Acceptable use

When you use the demo, you must not:

• enter real personal data (about you or anyone else) or any confidential, commercially sensitive or customer information;
• add or upload anything that is unlawful, defamatory, offensive, obscene, discriminatory or harassing, or that infringes anyone's intellectual property or privacy;
• upload malware or anything designed to harm a device, a system or data;
• carry out security testing, vulnerability scanning, penetration testing or denial-of-service attacks against the demo or our hosting provider;
• use bots, scrapers or scripts to generate automated load, or try to get around the demo's rate limits;
• try to gain access to other systems, accounts, data or networks, or to features that are switched off in the demo;
• use the demo to send spam or to impersonate any person or organisation;
• copy, frame, resell or make the demo available to others as a service, or use it to build a competing product.

If you find a security problem, please report it to legal@vne.example instead of testing it on the demo.

6. Fictional data

The companies, people, programmes, email addresses and figures in the demo are fictional and are provided for illustration only. Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, or to real companies or organisations, is coincidental. Demo email addresses use reserved .example domains and can't receive mail.

Nothing in the demo is professional, financial, legal or project advice, and you shouldn't rely on it to make decisions.

7. Your content

You are responsible for anything you add to the demo. You keep any rights you have in it, and you give us permission to store it and show it to other visitors until it is deleted at the next reset.

We may remove or edit any content, or reset the demo early, if we think it breaks these terms or the law.

If you send us feedback or suggestions about the software, we may use them without any obligation to you.

8. Intellectual property

The software, its design, the demo content and the VNE names and logos are owned by VNE Technologies or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable permission to use the demo through a web browser to evaluate the software, under these terms. You must not copy, modify, decompile or reverse engineer the software, except where the law allows it and can't be excluded.

Microsoft and Dynamics 365 are trademarks of the Microsoft group of companies. Other names may be trademarks of their owners. Their use in the demo is descriptive only and does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by or endorsement by Microsoft or any other owner.

9. Our liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that can't be limited or excluded under the law of England and Wales.

Subject to that, because the demo is provided free of charge for evaluation:

• we exclude all implied conditions, warranties and terms, as far as the law allows;
• we are not liable for any loss of data or content, including data deleted by a reset or by another visitor;
• we are not liable for any loss of profit, revenue, business, contracts, goodwill or anticipated savings, or for any indirect or consequential loss;
• our total liability to you arising out of or in connection with the demo, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, is limited to £100.

If you use the demo as a consumer rather than for business, nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.

10. Suspension

We may limit, suspend or block your access to the demo at any time, without notice, if we reasonably believe you have broken these terms, to protect the demo or other visitors, or for maintenance. The demo also limits sign-ins, saves and resets automatically to keep it available for everyone.

11. Privacy and cookies

Our Privacy policy explains how we handle personal data in the demo, and our Cookie policy lists the essential cookies and browser storage it uses. We only use essential cookies.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version on this page, with its “Last updated” date, applies whenever you use the demo, so please check it each time.

13. General

• These terms, with the policies they refer to, are the whole agreement between you and us about the demo.
• If a court finds part of these terms invalid, the rest stays in force.
• If we don't enforce a right straight away, we can still enforce it later.
• You may not transfer your rights under these terms. We may transfer ours to another organisation.
• No one other than you and us has any right to enforce these terms under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

14. Governing law and courts

These terms, and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with them or the demo, are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, except that if you are a consumer living in Scotland or Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in your local courts.
