The Thomson Reuters products and services, the quantities, charges and other details of your purchase will be identified at time of purchase in an order form which will be provided electronically. The order form, these terms, and any additional applicable terms constitute the complete agreement (the “Agreement”) and supersede any prior and contemporaneous discussions, agreements or representations and warranties regarding your order. Other terms and conditions you incorporate in any purchase order or otherwise are not part of the Agreement and do not apply.

    (b) Updates. Our products and services change from time to time but we will not change the fundamental nature of our products and services unless the change is the result of the modification or termination of an agreement with a third party provider or as required to comply with any law.

Neither of us will knowingly introduce any malicious software or technologies into any products, services or networks.

    (e) Related Information. We may access, collect and use information related to you and your use of our products and services (“Related Information”) for customer and technical support, for regulatory and third party compliance purposes, to protect and enforce our rights and monitor compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and to recommend additional products or services.

    (c) Claims Period. Claims must be brought within 12 months after the basis for the claim becomes known to the person asserting the claim.

    (d) Third Party Intellectual Property. If a third party sues you claiming that our products, services or data, excluding any portions of the same provided by our third party providers infringes their intellectual property rights and your use of such products, services or data has been in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, we will defend you against the claim and pay damages that a court finally awards against you or that are included in a settlement approved by Thomson Reuters, provided the claim does not result from: (i) a combination of all or part of our products, services or data with technology, products, services or data not supplied by Thomson Reuters; (ii) modification of all or part of our products, services or data other than by Thomson Reuters or our subcontractors; (iii) use of a version of our products, services or data after we have notified you of a requirement to use a subsequent version; or (iv) your breach of this Agreement.

We will not be responsible if our product fails to perform because of your third party software, your hardware malfunction, or your actions or inaction. If we learn that our product failed because of one of these, we reserve the right to charge you for our work in investigating the failure. At your request we will assist you in resolving the failure at a fee to be agreed upon.

  • (a) Term. This Agreement will become effective when you license or use any of our products or services and will remain in effect during the term or any renewal term of our products or services. The term and any renewal terms for the products and services are described at time of purchase. If not otherwise stated, the initial term of each product or service is one year from the day it is made available and will automatically renew for additional one year periods, unless one party gives the other at least 90 days’ notice prior to the end of the then- current term.

    (b) Suspension and Deactivation. Without prejudice to any other rights, we may at any time suspend or deactivate your right to use or access the products or services, or terminate an order form or this Agreement.

Charges remain payable in full during periods of suspension or limitation arising from your action or inaction.

    (c) Termination. We may terminate all or part of the Agreement in relation to a product or service which is being discontinued. Either of us may terminate the Agreement immediately upon written notice if the other commits a material breach and fails to cure the material breach within 30 days of being notified to do so. Any failure to fully pay any amount when due under this Agreement is a material breach for this purpose. Unless we terminate for breach or insolvency, pre-paid charges will be refunded on a pro-rated basis. If, as the result of a modification or termination of an agreement with a third party provider, we fundamentally change a product or service to your detriment, you may terminate the Agreement (in whole or with respect to the affected product or service) upon 30 days written notice.

    (d) Effect of Termination. Except to the extent we have agreed otherwise, upon termination, all your usage rights end immediately and each of us must uninstall or destroy all property of the other and, if requested, confirm this in writing. Termination of the Agreement will not (i) relieve you of your obligation to pay Thomson Reuters any amounts you owe up to and including the date of termination; (ii) affect other accrued rights and obligations; or (iii) terminate those parts of the Agreement that by their nature should continue.

  • We are not liable for any damages or failure to perform our obligations under the Agreement because of circumstances beyond our reasonable control. If those circumstances cause material deficiencies in the products or services and continue for more than 30 days, either of us may terminate any affected product or service on written notice to the other.

  • Our affiliates and third party providers benefit from our rights and remedies under the Agreement. No other third parties have any rights or remedies under the Agreement.

  • (a) Assignment. You may not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer the Agreement (including any of your rights or remedies) to anyone else without our prior written consent. We may assign or otherwise transfer the Agreement (including any of our rights or remedies) in whole or in part to an affiliate or any entity that succeeds to all or substantially all of the assets or business associated with one or more products or services, and will notify you of any such assignment or transfer. We may subcontract any of the services in our sole discretion. Any assignment, delegation or other transfer in contravention of this Section 13(a) is void.

    (b) Feedback. You grant Thomson Reuters a perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, non-exclusive right to use any comments, suggestions, ideas or recommendations you provide related to any of our products or services in any manner and for any purpose.

    (c) Severability. If any part of the Agreement that is not fundamental is illegal or unenforceable, it will be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the part will be deemed deleted. Any such modification or deletion will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remainder of the Agreement.

    (d) Agreement Compliance. We or our professional representatives may review your compliance with the Agreement throughout the term of the Agreement. If the review reveals that you have exceeded the authorized use permitted by the Agreement, you will pay all unpaid or underpaid charges.

    (e) Governing Law. If we have not stated otherwise in writing, and you are located in the United States, the Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of New York and each of us hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of the State of New York located in New York County to settle all disputes or claims arising out of or in connection with the Agreement.

    (f) Precedence. The descending order of precedence is: third party license terms contained in Section 1(f) of these terms; any applicable additional terms we provide in the order form or at time of purchase; and the remaining provisions of the Agreement.

    (g) Amendment. We may amend this Agreement from time to time by giving you at least 30 days’ written notice. If we make material changes that adversely affect you, you may request good faith negotiations regarding the amendments. If the amended terms are not agreed before their effective date, you may terminate the Agreement by providing written notice within 5 business days.

    (h) Waiver. Neither of us waives our rights or remedies by delay or inaction.
