</table>## Restricted and protected environments

As part of our mission to continually deliver the best customer experience and as part of the evolution of the Impact packages, certain Impact deliverables, Impact Accelerators, or other Impact components require supplemental terms and conditions because of the manner in which they operate.

-   **U.S. Public Sector \(USPS\)**

    The US Public Sector Accelerators provide U.S. Public Sector customers an option to use aspects of these Accelerators without the need to accept the supplemental terms or in scenarios in which an environment may have serviceability restrictions.


Accelerators that offer USPS specific versions are indicated in the specific sub-catalog.
