1.1 Platform and Usability Testing

Pulse Labs has developed a software platform and service (the “Platform”) that enables Pulse Labs clients to run User Tests and testers (“Testers”) to perform and record tests. The Platform, which includes Pulse Labs’ Audio and Video Recorder, User Tests, and website, matches Testers to clients who want an application, service or other element (the “Elements”) remotely analyzed via the Internet or User Tests inside and outside the home by Testers (“Usability Testing”). Together, the Platform, User Tests, Elements, and all related materials and information are referred to as “Proprietary Information.” You agree to the Tester obligations as fully set forth in the complete sections referenced below, each of which is a material condition precedent to your participation as a Tester:

• You will use Proprietary Information only as permitted by this Agreement (seeUse of and Limited License to Proprietary Information)
• You will provide us accurate information (seeTester Information)
• You will maintain certain equipment and accounts (seeTester Requirements)
• You will not communicate directly with clients (seeClient Communications)
• You will maintain the confidence of all Proprietary Information you received during the course of your activities as a Tester (seeConfidentiality and Security and Passwords)
