Common use of Pre-Certification Clause in Contracts

Pre-Certification. At the Pre-Certification submission, Licensee shall deliver to Microsoft a version of the Online Features, and such other content as may be required by the Xbox Guide. Microsoft shall also conduct certain testing of the Online Features, which may vary depending on the nature of the Online Features. If applicable, Licensee shall also provide access to Licensee Game Servers and/or the Game Server software for Pre-Certification testing in accordance with the Xbox Guide. Online Features must receive satisfactory Pre-Certification testing results prior to the Software Title proceeding to Beta Trials. As set forth in the PLA, all feedback provided by Microsoft to Licensee as a result of Microsoft's Pre-Certification testing shall be advisory in nature. However, Licensee acknowledges that the Pre-Certification and Certification submissions evaluate different aspects of the Online Features and at different stages in Licensee's development schedule and therefore satisfactory feedback regarding Pre-Certification is not an indication that the Online Features will be approved following the Certification submission. Licensee shall be given the opportunity to resubmit Online Features that fail the Pre-Certification approval process. In Microsoft's discretion, Licensee may be charged a reasonable fee designed to offset the costs associated with the Pre-Certification testing of Software Titles in the event of resubmission(s).
