3.2 No Ownership Transfer

-
Time Periods
The non disclosure provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Receiving Party's duty to hold the Confidential Information in confidence shall remain in effect until the Confidential Information no longer qualifies as a trade secret or until the Disclosing Party sends the Receiving Party written notice releasing it from this Agreement, whichever occurs first.

Relationships
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute either party a partner, joint venturer, or employee of the other party for any purpose.

Waiver
The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement does not waive any other breach. The failure of any party to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with this Agreement shall not be a waiver of such party’s right to demand strict performance in the future, nor shall the same be construed as a novation of this Agreement.
