if (haveNoPermissionToUseterm("pronoic"))) {
	if (useterm("pronoic")) {

	} else {
		notInTheSpiritOfIt();
	}
} else {
	noProblem();
}

and clause 5.

if 
(haveNoPermissionToUseterm("pronoic.org")||haveNoPermissionToUseterm("Pronoic 
Ltd")) {
	if (useterm("pronoic.org")||useterm("Pronoic Ltd"))) {
		breachOfContract();
	} else {
		noProblem();
	}
} else {
	noProblem();
}
