LexisNexis Online Research Service E-Commerce Terms and Conditions for Online Legal Research Service (i.e., Lexis® or any successor or enhanced services)

Effective 07/7/2026

Welcome. Welcome and thank you ("Subscriber" or "you") for subscribing to the LexisNexis online research services offered to you through this LexisNexis, a division of RELX Inc. ("LN" or "we") e-commerce site. We look forward to licensing to you the LexisNexis online legal research services (i.e., Lexis® or any successor or enhanced services, whether collectively or individually, the "Online Services") upon your acceptance of this agreement, which consists of these Online Research Service E-Commerce Terms and Conditions, the Order, the LN General Terms and Conditions ("General Terms") located at https://www.lexisnexis.com/en-us/terms/SALegal/terms.page, and any applicable Price Schedule ("Price Schedule") located at https://www.lexisnexis.com/en-us/terms/SALegal/pricing.page (collectively, the "Agreement"). The General Terms and Price Schedule are incorporated herein by reference. Your Order will indicate the length of your subscription plan, the Online Services that you have selected, and the pricing plan applicable to your subscription. The Price Schedule applies only to products, services, content, or materials that are accessed or used outside the pricing plan set forth in your Order. By clicking "I Accept," you agree to the terms of the Agreement.
License. LN grants Subscriber a non-exclusive, non-transferable limited license to access and use the Online Services and the materials available therein ("Materials") pursuant to the terms set forth in the General Terms and the pricing set forth in the Price Schedule, where applicable.
Alternate Materials. During the Term, LN may make content and features available to Subscriber that are not included in the Online Services to which Subscriber subscribes but will be offered to Subscriber at an additional charge ("Alternate Materials"). Subscriber will be under no obligation to access and use the Alternate Materials, or to incur additional fees beyond the Monthly Installment. Subscriber will be notified that additional charges will apply before the Alternate Materials are displayed. If Subscriber proceeds to access the Alternate Materials, Subscriber will pay the then current, transactional charge(s) for the Alternate Materials that are displayed at the time of access (the "Standard Rates") in addition to the Monthly Installment.
Eligibility. Subscriber acknowledges that the pricing and content provided in this Agreement depend in part on the number of Authorized Users in Subscriber's practice. Subscriber certifies that, as of the date of the Order, the total number of Authorized Users listed on the Order ("Reference Number") is true and accurate. Subscriber will immediately notify LN in writing in the event of an increase in the Reference Number. At the reasonable request of LN, Subscriber will certify in writing the then-current Reference Number. If there is a change in the Reference Number, LN may, in its sole discretion, on at least 30 days' prior written notice to Subscriber, increase or decrease the Monthly Installment by an amount that does not exceed, on a percentage basis, the change in the Reference Number.
Authorized Users and Permitted Use. Use of the Online Services under this Agreement is available to Subscriber and its Authorized Users (defined in the General Terms) only for research purposes to support Subscriber's practice. Subscriber hereby certifies that all Authorized Users provided access to the Online Services under this Agreement are engaged in or support Subscriber's practice of law.
Term. The term of this Agreement is set forth in the Order ("Term"). Upon the expiration of the Committed Term, this Agreement will automatically renew each year for additional one (1)-year periods (each a "Renewal Term") at the then-current monthly commitment rate plus five (5) percent. The Committed Term and any Renewal Terms will collectively constitute the "Term." Subscriber may avoid entering into a Renewal Term by providing LN, through Subscriber's LN account manager, at least 30 days' prior written notice before the beginning of the Renewal Term.
Termination. In addition to any termination rights set forth in the General Terms, Subscriber may terminate this Agreement for a material breach by LN that remains uncured for more than 30 days after LN receives written notice from Subscriber identifying a specific breach. If Subscriber terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section, then Subscriber must pay all Monthly Installments and other charges incurred up to the date of termination.
Payment. Subscriber shall pay to LN the sum total of all Monthly Installments for access to the Online Services as set forth in the Order. SUBSCRIBER AUTHORIZES LN, AND SUBSCRIBER EXPRESSLY CONSENTS, TO MAKE ALL OF SUBSCRIBER'S MONTHLY INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE COMMITTED TERM BY WAY OF AUTOMATIC RECURRING AUTOPAY/AUTOWITHDRAW FROM SUBSCRIBER'S DESIGNATED BANK ACCOUNT OR CREDIT CARD. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE YOUR PAYMENTS AUTOMATICALLY DEDUCTED ON A MONTHLY BASIS, THEN DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS. Subscriber will immediately notify LN of changes to its payment method and provide LN with alternative payment information if the existing payment information changes impacting Subscriber's ability to pay for the Online Services. Subscriber's payment information is set forth in the LexisNexis Account Center. If any charge that is not the subject of a legitimate dispute remains unpaid for more than 75 days after becoming due, then LN reserves the right to require each remaining unpaid monthly payment for the Term to become immediately due and payable to LN. LN may temporarily suspend access to the Online Services until all unpaid amounts are paid in full. No claims directly or indirectly related to this Agreement with respect to amounts billed or payments made under this Agreement may be initiated by Subscriber more than three (3) months after such amounts were first billed to Subscriber.
User IDs. Subscriber is entitled to receive one (1) support staff User ID at no additional charge for each attorney User ID purchased, where “User ID" means a user identification credential for access to the Online Services. Additional support staff User IDs may be purchased at Subscriber’s request. Support staff User IDs are entitled to access all content purchased by Subscriber.
Confidential Information. Subscriber's disclosure of this Agreement to third parties may cause severe competitive harm to LN so that this Agreement, its pricing, content and all related invoices shall be held in strict confidence and not shared with any third parties including, but not limited to, advisors, consultants, agents and independent contractors under any circumstances, unless required by law or Subscriber obtains written consent from LN. In addition, this Agreement will only be shared with Subscriber personnel who have legitimate need to know.
Arbitration.
1. Except as provided in Section 11.4 below, any controversy, claim, or counterclaim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under this Section and the then-current AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED AND RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY AND NOT ON A CLASS-WIDE, MULTIPLE PLAINTIFF, OR SIMILAR BASIS. In the event any court, arbitrator, or panel of arbitrators rules that the foregoing limitation is invalid, then arbitration shall not be available and is expressly precluded as a method of conducting and resolving disputes arising under this Agreement. The duty to arbitrate will extend to any employee, officer, agent, or affiliate of either party. The arbitration will be held in the United States headquarters city of the party not initiating the claim; however, the parties may choose to participate in person, by telephone, or document submission. For all claims asserted against LN, arbitration will be conducted in the City of Dayton, Ohio. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole arbitrator. The arbitrator's award will be final and binding, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages, or any damages excluded by, or in excess of, any damage limitations expressed in this Agreement. Disputed issues concerning the arbitrability of any particular claims or causes of action will be decided by a court of law, and not an arbitrator.
2. Each party will bear its own attorneys' fees and other costs (e.g., filing fees, internal costs, etc.) associated with the arbitration, except that the fees assessed by the AAA for the services of the arbitrator will be divided equally by the parties. Issues subject to arbitration will be determined in accordance with and solely with the federal substantive and procedural laws relating to arbitration; in all other respects, the arbitrator will be obligated to apply and follow the substantive law of the state of Ohio.
3. In order to facilitate resolution of controversies or claims, the parties agree to keep negotiations, arbitrations, and settlement terms confidential.
4. Claims and controversies involving the following will not be subject to arbitration and the parties agree to exclusive jurisdiction in federal or state courts located in Montgomery County, Ohio: (a) a violation of any of the proprietary rights of LN, including claims in equity or law to protect the intellectual property rights of LN or its third-party content providers; (b) failure to comply with restrictions on use of the Materials included in this Agreement; or (c) non-payment. LN retains at all times the right to obtain an injunction or other equitable relief in court to prevent misuse of the LN Online Services and Materials contained therein and all other LN and LN affiliates' products and services. If the Subscriber's account, after default, is referred to an attorney or collection agency for non-payment, then Subscriber shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred by LN in such collection efforts including, but not limited to, collection agency fees, court costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees.
