30-Day Trial Policy

Trial Duration​

  • The trial period is 30 calendar days from the date of first download.
  • The start date is based on the initial release download from the official distribution channel.
  • Extensions are not automatic and must be requested explicitly.

Permitted Usage​

During the trial period, you may:

  • Run Scrim in development, staging, or test environments
  • Evaluate both table and query modes
  • Generate masked CSV, SQL, and audit outputs
  • Share outputs internally for evaluation purposes
  • Integrate Scrim into internal testing workflows

Restricted Usage​

During the trial period, you may not:

  • Use Scrim in production systems
  • Process live customer data for operational purposes
  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the trial kit
  • Offer Scrim as part of a commercial service
  • Modify or remove licensing notices

License Scope​

The trial license:

  • Is non-exclusive and non-transferable
  • Is limited to internal evaluation
  • Applies only to the provided trial binaries
  • Does not grant rights to source code

All intellectual property remains with Hinge-on.

Data Responsibility​

Users are solely responsible for:

  • Ensuring they have permission to access and process source data
  • Complying with internal security and compliance policies
  • Verifying that exported data is handled securely
  • Avoiding exposure of sensitive information

Scrim is provided as an evaluation tool and does not replace internal governance controls.

Security and Telemetry​

  • Scrim does not collect telemetry during the trial
  • No usage data is transmitted externally
  • No credentials are stored outside the runtime environment

All processing occurs locally in your infrastructure.

Support During Trial​

During the trial period, support is provided on a best-effort basis through:

  • GitHub Discussions
  • GitHub Issues

We aim to respond within 24 hours on business days and actively use feedback to shape Scrim.

End of Trial​

At the end of the 30-day trial, we actively invite interested teams to become design partners.

Design partners work closely with the Scrim team to:

  • Define priority features and advanced use cases
  • Influence the product roadmap
  • Align on delivery timelines and expectations
  • Co-create enterprise-grade workflows
  • Discuss commercial and pricing models

As part of this process, selected organisations may be asked to sign a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) to formalise collaboration during the design partnership phase.

This allows both parties to align on scope, commitment, and long-term fit before entering a commercial agreement.

If you are interested in becoming a design partner, contact the Scrim team to initiate discussions.

Requesting an Extension​

If additional evaluation time is required, contact:

Include:

  • Your organisation name
  • Use case summary
  • Requested extension duration
