how to organize the list ?

English Law/Patents Gaming/Video-games/E-sports
I have a list in the following form -

===
3.8. Employees of the licensee have a right (to):
3.8.1. (To) prohibit XXX
3.8.2. (To) prohibit YYY.
===
Shall it be (1)

3.8. Employees of the licensee have a right to:
3.8.1. Prohibit XXX
3.8.2. Prohibit YYY.

Or (2)

3.8. Employees of the licensee have a right:
3.8.1. To prohibit XXX
3.8.2. To prohibit YYY.

===
Thank you!

I don't think it matters, but I think version (1) is more common.

What do you need exactly? The list is very organized as it is !

your option one

option one is by far the most common, in my opinion.
Peer comment(s):

agree Carol Gullidge : either is correct, but (1) is the neatest (saves having to repeat all those "to"s, especially if the bullet points are short. If they're long, you can get away with repeating "to" each time

depends on the number of bullets

if you have just two to three bullets, then it is fine to use (1), if there are more bullets i.e. the list of *prohibit* goes on and on, then I would use (2)
