such Fix Updates and Minor Updates to the Product software that
Trimble releases and makes commercially available and for which it

line. Trimble reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion,
what constitutes a significant new feature and Major Upgrade.

covered by this Limited Warranty and you notify Trimble of such
