We endeavor to post information provided to us by the Contributors regarding whether such releases and clearances have been obtained in the Content Information. On your request and purchase of a License for Content that includes Third Party IP or our determination that you have a bona-fide interest in making such purchasing, we will use reasonable efforts to obtain from the Contributor and make available to you releases and clearances for any Third Party IP therein that are or have been provided to us for such Content; provided, however, we reserve the right to charge an additional fee for such assistance.
