A belated suggestion in response to this request.

You could examine the wording used in the model licences drafted in the UK
(drafted for journals, but easy enough to adapt):

"On termination of this Licence for any cause other than breach by the
Licensee, [the Licensee shall be entitled to retain/the Publisher shall
supply a copy of/the Publisher shall continue to provide access to] all
Licensed materials made available prior to the date of termination."

You'll find a regularly updated listing of model licences and related
licensing initiatives at www.alpsp.org/licensing.htm
