TERMS & CONDITIONS FOR USE OF THE ONLINE SERVICES
The terms and conditions listed below govern use of the online services (the “Online Services”) and materials available therein (“Materials”) provided by LexisNexis, a division of RELX Inc. and its affiliated companies (collectively “LN”). The terms “you” and “your” in uppercase or lowercase shall mean the entity (e.g., company, corporation, partnership, sole proprietor, etc.) or government agency entering into a Subscription Agreement with LN. The “Subscription Agreement” shall consist of these General Terms and Conditions, and the standard, transactional rates applicable to you (the “Price Schedule”).
1. GRANT OF RIGHTS; RESTRICTIONS ON USE
1.1 You and your Authorized Users (defined below in Section 2.1) are granted a nonexclusive, nontransferable, limited right to access and use for research purposes the Online Services and Materials made available to you. The rights granted to each Authorized User are as follows:
(a) The right to electronically display Materials retrieved from the Online Services for the Authorized User's individual governmental use (e.g., no Authorized User may network others via LANs, WANs, intranets or the Internet), subject to the Supplemental Terms for Specific Materials (“Supplemental Terms”) attached to this Contract as Schedule C. LN understands that the You, (i.e., the State of Michigan) cannot and does not agree to any terms found in Supplemental Terms or elsewhere that requires the State to indemnify (or any similar concept), nor does the State of Michigan agree to be bound by any laws other than those of the State of Michigan and any applicable federal law. Although the State of Michigan will not contractually agree to indemnify any third parties, the State will comply with an order from a court of competent jurisdiction that may find as such. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, an Authorized User may display a de minimis amount of the Materials on an incidental, infrequent basis for non-commercial purposes to other Authorized Users so long as the Authorized Users are in the same physical location and the mode of display is not through the Internet, an intranet or other types of networking communication like LANs or WANs;
(b) The right to email, fax, download or make printouts using the commands of the Online Services and the right to create a single printout of Materials accessed or downloaded by any other means (collectively, “Authorized Printouts”);
(c) With respect to Materials that are court cases, court rules, court briefs, agency issued documents, agency regulations or executive branch materials from the United States, its states, local governments, or territories (collectively, “Authorized Legal Materials”), the right to download using the commands of the Online Services and store in machine-readable form, primarily for that Authorized User's exclusive governmental use, a single copy of insubstantial portions of those Authorized Legal Materials included in any individually searchable file or content source in the Online Services to the extent the storage of those Authorized Legal Materials is not further limited or prohibited by the Supplemental Terms. The storage may continue so long as the Authorized Legal Materials are needed for purposes contemplated under this Subscription Agreement;
(d) With respect to all Materials other than Authorized Legal Materials, the right to download using the commands of the https://www.lexisnexis.com/en-us/terms/LACommercial2/pricing.page https://www.lexisnexis.com/terms/supplemental.aspx http://www.lexisnexis.com/terms/supplemental
Online Services and store in machine readable form for no more than 90 days , primarily for that Authorized User's exclusive governmental use, a single copy of insubstantial portions of those Materials included in any individually searchable file or content source in the Online Services, to the extent the storage of those Materials is not further limited or prohibited by the Supplemental Terms;
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the right to (1) excerpt or quote insubstantial portions of Materials in documents prepared in the ordinary course of your business to the extent permitted by applicable copyright law; (2) distribute Authorized Printouts to persons who are not Authorized Users (including by emailing through the functionality of the Online Services) on an occasional, infrequent basis as permitted by applicable copyright law; and (3) store Materials for periods in excess of the periods set forth above to the extent required for legal or regulatory compliance provided all other Materials are purged promptly upon the expiration of this Subscription Agreement; and
(f) For the avoidance of doubt, downloading and storing Materials in an archival database is prohibited. The Online Services and the Materials are protected by copyright, intellectual property laws, and other laws that prevent unauthorized access and use. If you are not an Authorized User, you are not permitted to access or use the Online Services for any purpose whatsoever. If you nevertheless access and use the Online Services or Materials without authorization, your access and use will be governed by these General Terms and Conditions and you will be charged for unauthorized access and payment for use at the rates in the applicable Price Schedule. Payment by the State under this Section constitutes LN’s sole and exclusive remedy for unauthorized use. However, any breach of LN or third party licensing provisions beyond those associated with the unauthorized use may subject the State to legal action and further recovery may be ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.
1.2 To the extent permitted by applicable copyright law and not further limited or prohibited by the Supplemental Terms, you and your Authorized Users may make copies of Authorized Printouts and distribute Authorized Printouts and copies.
1.3 Except as specifically provided in Sections 1.1 and 1.2, you and your Authorized Users are prohibited from downloading, emailing, faxing, storing, reproducing, transmitting, displaying, copying, distributing, or using Materials retrieved from the Online Services. You may not exploit the goodwill of LN, including its trademarks, service marks, or logos without the express written consent of LN. Additionally, under no circumstances may you or any Authorized User offer any part of the Online Services or Materials for commercial resale or commercial redistribution in any medium or use the Online Services or the Materials to compete with the business of LN.
1.4 All right, title, and interest (including all copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights) in the Online Services and Materials in any medium belongs to LN or its third party suppliers of Materials. RELX and the RE symbol are trade marks of RELX Group plc, used under license. Neither you nor your Authorized Users acquire any proprietary interest in the Online Services, Materials, or copies thereof, except the limited rights granted herein.
1.5 Neither you nor your Authorized Users may use the Online Services or Materials in any fashion that infringes the intellectual property rights or proprietary interests of LN or any third party.

USC §1681.

2.1 Only your employees, temporary employees, students, partners/members, and contractors dedicated to performing work exclusively for you (to the extent those categories of persons are appropriate to your situation) are eligible to access and use the Online Services and Materials (“Eligible Persons”). Without limitation, external professional service providers such as attorneys, accountants, outsourcers and public relations firms are specifically excluded from being Eligible Persons. The term “Authorized User” means an Eligible Person whom you have identified to LN for purposes of issuing an LN ID. You agree that each LN ID may only be used by the Authorized User to whom LN assigns it and that the LN ID may not be shared with or used by any other person, including other Authorized Users. You will manage your roster of Authorized Users and will promptly notify LN to deactivate an Authorized User's LN ID if the Authorized User is no longer an Eligible Person or you otherwise wish to terminate the Authorized User's access to the Online Services. You are responsible for all use of the Online Services accessed with LN IDs issued to your Authorized Users, including associated charges, whether by Authorized Users or others. You will use reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized use of LN IDs assigned to your Authorized Users and will promptly notify LN, in writing, if you suspect that an LN ID is lost, stolen, compromised, or misused. You may not access or otherwise use the Online Services if you are identified on, and You may not provide access to the Online Services to any individuals identified on, OFAC's list of Specially Designated Nationals, the UK's HM Treasury's Consolidated List of Sanctions Targets, or the EU's Consolidated List of Persons, Groups, and Entities Subject to EU Financial Sanctions.
2.2 Use of the Online Services via mechanical, programmatic, robotic, scripted or any other automated means is strictly prohibited. Unless otherwise agreed to by LN in writing, use of the Online Services is permitted only via manually conducted, discrete, individual search and retrieval activities.
2.3 To comply with local privacy, data protection and other laws, each LN ID is country specific and may not be used outside the country for which it is issued, except for short periods not to exceed 30 continuous days. If LN suspects use of an LN ID outside the country of issue for a period in excess of 30 continuous days, LN may suspend the LN ID or require you to use and pay for an LN ID for the relevant country. On request, LN will issue a geographically compliant LN ID.
2.4 The Online Services, Materials, and feature functionality within the Online Services may be enhanced, added to, withdrawn, or otherwise changed by LN without notice.
2.5 Subject to Section 2.4 above, the Online Services may contain a feature that will allow your Authorized Users to create work folders or work spaces (“Folders”) from within research sessions that are associated solely with their respective LN IDs. The Folders are designed to allow your Authorized Users to save copies of Materials made available by LN, as well as links to materials made available on the Internet or other documents that you or your Authorized Users' own or otherwise have the right to upload to Folders. Applicable charges for the Folders are listed in the Price Schedule. LN represents and warrants that: (a) the Folders will be under the exclusive control of your Authorized Users; and (b) LN will not access or otherwise review the content of Folders without your authorization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LN may access or disclose the content of Folders to the extent necessary to facilitate features and functions of the Online Services and to comply with contractual and legal obligations including, but not limited to, an administrative or judicial proceeding.
Authorized Users are solely responsible for the content of their respective Folders. You agree that the Authorized Users have the right and authority to upload any and all content to the Folders that is not provided by LN. Authorized Users are prohibited from uploading content to the Folders that is defamatory, libelous, pornographic or obscene, unless such content is reasonably related to professional responsibilities. In addition, Authorized Users are strictly prohibited from uploading content to the Folders that is unlawful or that is considered protected health information under the Health Accountability and Portability Protection Act of 1996 (HIPAA) or the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (HITECH). To the extent possible, the State will comply with court orders if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the State’s use of the Folders or any content uploaded to the Folders, excluding LN Materials, resulted in any non-consequential, non-speculative, direct damages to LN. Authorized Users are solely responsible for securing or saving the content of their respective Folders before the expiration or termination of this Subscription Agreement, if desired. LN has no obligation to provide the content of Folders to you or your Authorized Users after the termination of this Subscription Agreement. All LN Materials contained in Folders remain subject to the storage limitations and other license terms and restrictions set forth in this Subscription Agreement.
