  • in connection with the MSC and MSC labelled products; and as long as the MSC has expressly approved any artwork that includes any marketing materials:
  • in writing, and before the artwork is printed and/or distributed to any third parties; and

  • only to use the marketing materials following the approvals and for the purposes in accordance with the terms and conditions set out above;
