License Agreements (Terms & Conditions)
Libraries that have already submitted the Subscriber Agreement and the Subscriber
Terms and Conditions do not have to complete a new license agreement at renewal.
These automatically renew when a library commits to the service via the Order or
Renewal Form.

How to Order or Renew
Please note the following:
-
All new subscribers must fully complete and sign the Order Form,
Subscriber Agreement, and Subscriber Terms and Conditions.
-
All new subscribers must also provide confirmation of their tax
status. For tax exempt organizations, please provide a copy of your tax
exemption certificate with your order materials. Organizations that are
not exempt may simply provide confirmation of this status in writing.
-
Law Schools cannot subscribe in conjunction with a main campus library. Law
School subscriptions must be submitted separately. Law School pricing is not
FTE based.
-
Libraries that have already submitted the Subscriber Agreement and the
Subscriber Terms and Conditions do not have to complete a new license
agreement at renewal. These automatically renew when a library commits to the
service via the Order or Renewal Form.
-
Please do not list IP addresses on the Order Form(s) except for
new orders only. All existing subscribers must make changes to their
IP addresses via email directly from the library to LexisNexis.
-
It is important to complete all information on the Order Form. LexisNexis
will not process orders that do not include complete FTE, the products being
ordered, and user contact information for each library even if the library has
previously ordered. Provide the total FTE, not a weighted number.
-
Mid-year subscribers must have their orders in to Minitex by the 14th of any
month in order to start the 1st of the following month. Your renewal date will
be July 1, no matter when you began your subscription.
-
The LexisNexis policy does not allow mid-subscription cancellations. You can
cancel a subscription by not renewing your order.
-
After placing an order, you will be automatically subscribed to a Minitex
listserv for this product in order to receive product news, updates and
renewal information. We encourage you to
sign up for
the LexisNexis listserv as well.
