If the Contract is terminated, this licence will automatically terminate.

8.2 The Customer acknowledges that, in instances where the Company does not own any of the Intellectual Property Rights, the Customer’s use of such rights is conditional on the Company obtaining a written licence (or sub-licence) from the relevant licensor or licensors on such terms as will entitle the Company to license such rights to the Customer.
