Fixed campaign window: enrolment opens 11 August 2026 at 08:00 GMT and closes 9 November 2026 at 08:00 GMT. Submissions outside that window are not accepted into the Founding Contributor programme.
Who qualifies
The first 50 people who submit a complete eligible BackupBell questionnaire during the 90-day public learning campaign and opt in with a valid email may qualify. One place is available per person. Positive, neutral and negative experiences qualify equally.
What contributors receive
| Pilot result | A personal acknowledgement and the final public-pilot outcome summary. |

Important conditions
- BackupBell version 1 remains free whether or not you send feedback.

- If no paid product launches within 24 months, no code or cash becomes due.
- A submission does not guarantee eligibility until it is checked for completeness and duplicates.
- The programme is not a random draw, competition or reward for publicity.
- BackupBell may reject spam, fabricated use, duplicate submissions or unsafe/private material.
- Store/platform availability and Microsoft promotional-code rules still apply.
Completely separate from Store reviews
No reward is offered for posting, changing or removing a Microsoft Store rating or review. You do not need to rate BackupBell publicly. Direct feedback is sent privately to the publisher and should be identified as such.
