  BELOW). BY COPYING OR USING THE COMMERCIAL MODULES, YOU AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT.
  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT COPY OR USE THE COMMERCIAL

  This Agreement is entered into by and between Bitwarden and you, or the legal
  entity on behalf of whom you are acting (as applicable, "You" or "Your").

  Commercial Modules.

  "Commercial Modules" means the modules designed to work with and enhance the
  Bitwarden Software to which this Agreement is linked, referenced, or appended.

  2. LICENSES, RESTRICTIONS AND THIRD PARTY CODE

  royalty-free license to use the Commercial Modules for the sole purposes of
  internal development and internal testing, and only in a non-production
  environment.

  2.2   Reservation of Rights. As between Bitwarden and You, Bitwarden owns all
  right, title and interest in and to the Bitwarden Software, and except as
  expressly set forth in Sections 2.1, no other license to the Bitwarden Software
  is granted to You under this Agreement, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

  2.3   Restrictions. You agree not to: (i) except as expressly permitted in
  Section 2.1, sell, rent, lease, distribute, sublicense, loan or otherwise
  transfer the Commercial Modules to any third party; (ii) alter or remove any
  trademarks, service mark, and logo included with the Commercial Modules, or
  (iii) use the Commercial Modules to create a competing product or service.
  Bitwarden is not obligated to provide maintenance and support services for the
  Bitwarden Software licensed under this Agreement.

  2.4   Third Party Software. The Commercial Modules may contain or be provided
  with third party open source libraries, components, utilities and other open
  source software (collectively, "Open Source Software"). Notwithstanding anything
