13.3 The limited Software warranties provided under this Agreement are subject to Licensor receiving timely written notice of any nonconformity with as much specificity as is known and as soon as Licensee becomes aware of such nonconformity, but in any event prior to the expiration of the Warranty Term.  Licensor shall have the right to inspect and test the Software to determine, in its reasonable opinion, whether the nonconformity is covered under the warranty.
