4.       a) You agree and acknowledge that the Software is the property of The Company Software and contains copyrighted, confidential, and trade secret information.  All rights, title and interest in the Software, except for the specific limited license given to you under this License Agreement, remains with The Company Software.

b) The Software is not a "consumer product."  However, should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that the software is a "consumer product" under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty - Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act, then implied warranties, if any, are limited in time to a period of thirty (30) days after you receive the software.  After that period, all implied warranties are expressly disclaimed.  Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
