Recipient also agrees that it shall not duplicate, translate, modify, copy, printout, disassemble, decompile or otherwise tamper with the Product or any firmware or software provided therewith.

Report. Recipient shall report to Developer, as soon as practical, any perceived defect in the Product. 5. Termination.
