Irrespective of the promise made by You to WMO in term 5.9 regarding the misappropriation and/or any potential confusion in respect of Third Party Content, the link to the WMO Digital Applications does not permit You to use any WMO and/or Third Party Content, names, logos, pictures or trademarks, unless separately and previously agreed to in writing by the relevant rights-holder.
