All other rights are reserved to MS. Recipient shall not rent, lease, sell, sublicense, assign, or otherwise transfer the Product or any accompanying materials ("Documentation").

You may not disclose the results of any benchmark test of the Product to any third party without Microsoft's prior written approval. MS and its suppliers shall retain title and all ownership rights to the product, and this Agreement shall not be construed in any manner as transferring any rights of ownership or license to the Product or to the features or information therein, except as specifically stated herein.

    (b) Recipient agrees to provide reasonable feedback to MS, including but not limited to usability, bug reports and test results, with respect to the Product testing. Recipient will use reasonable efforts to review and comment on all documentation supplied. All bug reports, test results and other feedback made by Recipient shall be the property of MS and may be used by MS for any purpose it sees fit. Due to the nature of the development work, MS is not certain as to when errors or discrepancies in the Products may be corrected.

  3. TERM OF AGREEMENT. The term of this Agreement shall commence upon your installation of the Product and shall continue unless terminated by MS in writing at any time, with or without cause. This Agreement will terminate without notice upon the commercial release of the Product.
