What is a Beta Agreement?
A beta agreement is an agreement between two businesses in which one company agrees to test a product or service created by the other business. This type of agreement can be beneficial to both companies.
It allows the business that created the product or service to test it out in a real-world environment and get feedback from customers. In addition, the agreement allows the company to test the product or service to get a discounted price on the product or service potentially.
