This License Agreement does not permit sublicensing except for the limited rights to sublicense described below in Section 7.2.

7.2 – Limited Sublicensing Is Permitted.

Licensee may sublicense Licensee’s rights to third parties in only three situations:

(a) to manufacture, market, or distribute completed End Uses (defined above) that use the Licensed Asset (as expressly permitted herein) when done on behalf of Licensee, provided that the sublicense may only be granted on condition that the sublicensee is prohibited from extracting, reproducing or using the Licensed Asset in any other way and Licensee shall at all times ensure compliance with the terms of this License Agreement by the sublicensee and remain liable hereunder for any non-compliance. For example, Licensee may use distributors to manufacture or distribute physical products for resale or product packaging; similarly, Licensee may use third party providers, such as hosting providers to host a completed website or website publishers to display completed digital advertisements;

(b) to a service provider serving as Licensee’s subcontractor to provide services to Licensee provided that (i) Licensee shall at all times ensure compliance with the terms of this License Agreement by the sublicensee and remain liable hereunder for any non-compliance and (ii) Licensee has purchased a sufficient number of seats for the Licensed Asset Licensee (e.g., each individual person requires a license as stated above); and

(c) to a client of Licensee where Licensee transfers to that client a completed End Use (defined above, such as a completed website, advertisement, product, or product packaging). In this instance, the sublicense may only be granted on condition that the sublicensee is prohibited from extracting, reproducing or using the Licensed Asset in any way other than is necessary in order to exploit the End Use that Licensee provides to the client. Licensee shall at all times ensure compliance with the terms of this License Agreement by the sublicensee and remain liable hereunder for any non-compliance.
