2 The Licensee may correct errors, modify the Software and create derivative works. The Licensee shall copy all error corrections promptly to the Licensor and hereby assigns copyright in them to the Licensor. The Licensee shall own modifications and derivative works it makes of the Software but not any Software incorporated in them. The restrictions in clause 3 shall also apply to any modification or derivative work, to the extent that it is based on or utilises the Software, unless the Licensor's prior written consent to vary the restrictions has been obtained. Such consent shall be subject to payment and to such other terms as may be fair and reasonable in the circumstances.
3 The Licensee shall not distribute, sub-license, sell, lend, provide access (including without limitation via a public-access internet site) to the whole or any part of the Software or use it to process the work of any third party.
4 The Licensee shall supervise the use of the Software, control access to it and keep it secure. The Licensee remains fully responsible at all times for all acts and omissions of anyone it allows to use the Software and for ensuring such person understands and observes this Licence.
