8-b:

Licensee acknowledges that the Common Version is not intended or suited for protection of High-Value Target Resources.

8-c:

Licensee acknowledges that the use of the Common Version to protect High-Value Target Resources exposes the Common Version to potential and occasional, but in the long-term inevitable, partial breaches and in turn jeopardizes the protection of all other users of the Software and exposes them all to undue burden and costs of re-configuring or upgrading or replacing the Software.

upgrade the License (depending of the use case) to either Blueprint License (to get the access to the source code), or to OEM License (to get the right to distribute the Derivative Works) and produce Licensee's own Custom Version by utilising Licensee's own developers or contractors in which case Vendor agrees to provide to Licensee all the documentation necessary for development of such Custom Version.

8-e:

Licensee acknowledges that Custom Version differs from Common Version by utilizing different Captcha Image and Captcha Sound styles, that are unique for that particular High-Value Target, whose inevitable occasional partial breaches under Persistent Targeted Attack will not jeopardize the users of the Common Version.

9. Competing Prohibitions:

Licensee acknowledge that Vendor expressly prohibits the Distribution of the Enterprise Version or Derivative Works with any product, or the use of the Enterprise Version or Derivative Works in any service, directly or indirectly competing with the Software, or shrinking the total addressable market for the Software.

Licensee is warned and hereby acknowledges being warned that the Vendor reserves all the rights to revoke a previously granted License (the "License Revocation") at any moment, for whatever reason, or without any reason, and without any obligation to give any explanation; even without any failure of Licensee to comply with this License.
