2.4. Deficiencies. If Licensee reasonably believes that the Sublicensee Business or the business of a reseller or distributor using the Licensed Marks or Licensed Domain Names is not being conducted in compliance with the Quality Standards or if an inspection of the Sublicensee Products and Services reveals that they do not comply with the Quality Standards, then Licensee shall promptly provide Sublicensee with written notice of such defects or violations, and shall allow Sublicensee thirty (30) days from the date of such notice in which to cure such defects or violations. Should the defects or violations not be remedied within such thirty (30) day period, Licensee may, in its reasonable discretion, terminate this Sublicense Agreement in accordance with Section 8.2 or bring an action to require specific performance. If such an action is brought and is successful, then Sublicensee shall have thirty (30) days within which to comply with the order. If, at the end of such thirty (30) days Sublicensee has not complied, this Sublicense Agreement will terminate automatically.
3. Compliance with Law. Sublicensee shall use the Licensed Property only in such manner as will comply with the provisions of applicable laws and regulations relating to the Licensed Property.
