Terms of use for developers
This English text is a translation. The French version is the binding one.
Version of 9 November 2026.
1. Purpose
These terms govern the use of Peerbeta by developers who have an Android app tested. Peerbeta is a beta testing platform published by Yvhan MOUAFO YO EI (see the legal notice). Purchases are also governed by the terms of sale. If you also test other people's apps, the tester terms apply to that activity.
2. Definitions
- Peerbeta, we: the publisher of the service and the service itself.
- Developer, you: the person who creates a test for an app, alone or within an organization.
- Tester: the person who follows a test and sends feedback.
- Test: the campaign for an app, 14 days long (7 days for an update test), possibly extended.
- Seat: one tester assigned to a test.
- Circle: a free group of developers who test each other's apps.
- Credit queue: publishing a test paid with credits earned by testing.
- Offer: a paid plan (Express, Pro, Launch), described on the Pricing page.
- Report: the summary of the test (web page, PDF and Markdown).
- Suggested answers: the texts written for the Play Console production access application form.
- Organization: a space shared by several members.
3. Acceptance and version
You accept these terms by creating your account or creating a test. The version in force is dated at the top of the page. Peerbeta keeps the date and the version you accepted.
4. Account and organization
- You must be an adult able to enter into a contract. If you act for a business, you confirm you have the authority to bind it.
- You sign in with Google or by email (sign-in link, password or passkey). Keep your sign-in methods to yourself and tell us about any use you did not authorize.
- Your account information must be accurate.
- The same account can be used both to have your apps tested and to test other people's.
- In an organization, the owner and admins invite members and set their role (owner, admin, member, read-only). The owner answers for actions taken in the organization. An organization keeps its tests and apps when a member leaves.
5. What Peerbeta does
For each test, Peerbeta:
- invites human testers compatible with your app (device, Android version, country, language);
- guides them to join the testers' Google group and your closed test through your opt-in link;
- checks every day, with the Peerbeta tester app, that your app is installed and opened on a real phone (Play Integrity check);
- collects structured feedback on day 1, day 7 and day 14, checks it and translates it into your language;
- replaces testers who drop out, while that is still possible;
- tells you about setup problems it detects;
- produces a report and suggested answers for the production access application form.
Peerbeta uses reasonable means to provide this service. This is an obligation of means, not of result.
6. What Peerbeta does not do
- Peerbeta does not decide on production access. Google alone grants or refuses it, under its own rules, which can change. Peerbeta never promises that Google will accept your app.
- Peerbeta is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google. Google Play and Android are trademarks of Google LLC.
- Peerbeta does not sell public installs, reviews or ratings. Testers leave no review and no rating on your app's Play Store listing.
- Peerbeta does not perform security audits or exhaustive quality testing. Feedback helps find problems; it does not guarantee none remain.
- Suggested answers are a starting point. You review them, correct them if needed and remain the author of what you send to Google.
7. Accepted apps and moderation
Each app is reviewed before the test starts. Peerbeta may refuse or stop a test, giving its reason, if the app:
- is illegal, or infringes someone else's rights;
- is malicious or deceptive (spyware, phishing, fraud, hidden access to the phone);
- shows sexually explicit content;
- offers gambling with real money;
- requires payment to be tested;
- collects personal data abusively or unrelated to its function;
- belongs to a category Google reserves for organization accounts (financial services, health, VPN, government services, for example).
You declare the app's content honestly (minimum age, sensitive content, in-app purchases, ads, sensitive permissions). A false declaration allows the test to be stopped.
8. Test setup
You agree to:
- create a closed testing track in the Play Console and publish a release of the app on it;
- add Peerbeta's testers Google group to that track ("Google Groups" option);
- open the track to the countries where testers are ("all countries" is recommended);
- provide a working opt-in link of the form
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/<package>; - keep the app available and usable for the whole test;
- follow Peerbeta's setup assistant.
If the link does not work or the app can no longer be found, the test may be paused until it is fixed. Time lost because of an incomplete setup is not made up at Peerbeta's expense.
9. Dealing with testers
- You do not ask testers to leave a review, a rating or a public install, or to do anything that gets around Google's rules.
- You do not ask them for personal data beyond normal use of the app (no ID document, card number or personal contact details, for example).
- If the app requires signing in, provide a test account created for the purpose, never a real account or real users' data.
- Messages and update announcements to testers go through Peerbeta and are limited to three a day.
- Testers appear under a number. You do not try to identify them or contact them outside Peerbeta about a running test.
- You judge their feedback honestly. Flagging abusive feedback is allowed; using it to penalize a tester acting in good faith is not.
10. Your app and your content
You remain the owner of your app and of what you upload (name, icon, description, instructions, screenshots). You grant Peerbeta, for the duration of the test and of its retention, the non-exclusive, free right to use them, show them to testers, translate them and include them in the report and the suggested answers, for the sole purpose of providing the service.
You alone are responsible for your app, its Play Store listing, its data and its compliance with the law and with Google's rules. You are the controller of the data your app collects from testers.
You may freely use the feedback received during the test to improve your app and for your production access application.
11. Credits
Credits earned by testing are not money. They have no monetary value, cannot be bought, exchanged or refunded. Under the rules shown in the service, they are used to publish a test in the credit queue, to move up in a circle or to add seats. They expire 12 months after they are earned. The tester terms describe them in detail.
12. Paid offers
Offers, options, prices, promo codes, the guarantee and refunds are described in the terms of sale and on the Guarantee and refunds page.
13. Liability
- Peerbeta is liable for its faults in providing the service, within the limits of the terms of sale for what is paid.
- Peerbeta is not liable for Google's decision, a change in Google's rules, an outage of Google Play or the Play Console, or the consequences of an incomplete setup.
- Testers are independent people. Peerbeta checks their activity and feedback but is not liable for their opinions.
- You indemnify Peerbeta against any third-party claim related to your app or your content.
- Nothing in these terms excludes liability that the law does not allow to be excluded.
14. Suspension and termination
- You can delete your account at any time from Account › Privacy. Running tests stop; what was paid follows the terms of sale.
- Peerbeta may suspend a test or an account, after telling you why, for breach of these terms, a prohibited app, fraud or a risk to testers. For a serious or repeated breach, the account may be closed. You can contest the decision by replying to the message that announces it.
15. Personal data
How your data and testers' data are processed is described in the privacy policy.
16. Intellectual property
The service, its code, texts, report templates and the Peerbeta brand belong to the publisher. You receive a personal, non-exclusive right to use the service under these terms. The report and suggested answers of your tests are yours to use, including for your production access application.
17. Changes to these terms
Peerbeta may change these terms. The new version is dated and published on this page. For a significant change, you are notified by email or in the service at least 30 days before it takes effect. A test already paid for remains governed by the terms accepted when ordering. If you refuse the new version, you can delete your account before it takes effect.
18. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by French law. If a problem arises, write first to [email protected] to seek an amicable solution.
You keep the protection of the mandatory rules of your country of residence and the right to go to the competent court.
If you act as a professional, any dispute falls under the courts of the publisher's place of business.
