Some Licensed Materials in the Services are licensed from third-party suppliers.

Accordingly, Licensor reserves the right to add or remove Licensed Materials at any time without notice. Licensor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of the discontinuation of any Material collections or packages whenever reasonably possible and to offer you the option to purchase a permanent license to such materials if Licensor has the right to do so.
