12. Should the Licensee fail to adhere to these Terms, the PWL will engage with the Licensee to bring to the Licensee’s attention, the permissible parameters of activity and work with the Licensee to resolve the matter. However, should such activities persist, the Licensee will be deemed to have knowingly breached these Terms.
13. The PWL retains and, to the extent required, is hereby granted by the relevant copyright owner of content governed by these Terms, the rights to enforce the Licensee’s compliance with these Terms (whether by means of anti-infringement actions, legal proceedings or otherwise) and with the copyright law in force. In all such cases the Licensee will not undertake any act to obstruct, nullify or obviate the rights of the PWL under this provision.
14. Nothing contained in these Terms shall limit the rights of the PWL to exercise remedies available to it under law or contract for violations of these Terms, including for damages, specific relief and through potential immediate revocation, suspension or cancellation of media accreditation where, applicable. In addition to the PWL’s right to pursue such other remedies, the Licensee hereby agrees to indemnify the PWL for any and all losses or damages as a result of the violation and breach of these Terms resulting from such unauthorised use.
