Licensing
Perpetual License
A grant of usage rights with no expiry date, allowing the brand to keep using the content indefinitely.
What it means in practice
The unlimited duration applies only to the uses, channels, territories, and parties covered by the grant. Ownership and creator attribution obligations remain governed by the rest of the agreement.
Why it matters
A creator may charge more because the content can remain in circulation without a renewal date.
How it is used
A brand secures perpetual rights for an evergreen testimonial intended to remain on product pages.
