Typically, this clause outlines the duration of validity for licenses, certificates, or authorizations, and specifies any limitations or requirements for their use, such as compliance with applicable laws or restrictions on transferability. Its core practical function is to ensure that all parties understand the scope and limitations of what is permitted, thereby preventing misuse and clarifying the legal standing of the rights or documents in question.
