I'm usually very good with grammar, but I'm drawing a blank on how to make this sentence sound good and professional. Here's the sentence:
If we are not authorized to use it, but proceed to use it anyways, we put ourselves at the risk of a lawsuit, which we would undoubtedly lose.
It's a run-on, and I hate using the word anyways, so if you want the 10 points, those are things that needed to be changed.
By the way, "it" refers to a video-clip, in case you were wondering.
If you're interested in the whole report, I can post it up here, but I don't think you need to read the whole thing. But if you want to, to understand the context, and I can add it.

Your sentence isn’t wrong, just a little bit wordy. Try this:
If we use it without authorization we put ourselves at risk for a lawsuit that we will definitely lose.
OR, if you prefer to use less of the plural “we”:
Using the video clip without the proper authorization will almost certainly result in a lawsuit that we will undoubtedly lose.
