1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using westlaw-club.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy and Cookie Policies. If you are using the site on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization. If you do not agree with these terms, do not use the site.

We provide informational content and optional consultations related to Westlaw research practices. We do not provide legal advice. Use of this site does not create an attorney-client relationship, and no confidential information should be submitted through the public contact form. If you need a privileged channel, request one explicitly and wait for confirmation before sharing case details.

We may update these terms from time to time. Section 8 explains how we will notify you of changes and when the revised terms become effective.

2. Use of service

The site is intended for professional and educational use by legal practitioners, librarians, legal operations teams, and related professionals evaluating research workflows. You may view, share, and cite our articles for informational purposes so long as you attribute Westlaw Club and do not misrepresent authorship.

Prohibited activities. You agree not to (a) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site or its infrastructure; (b) introduce malware, automated scraping, or excessive load; (c) use the site to develop competing products or services that copy substantial portions of our content; (d) misrepresent our relationship with Thomson Reuters or any other third party; or (e) use the site in violation of applicable law.

Availability. We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Maintenance windows, network disruptions, or updates may temporarily affect the site. When feasible, we will schedule maintenance during off-peak hours and post notice for extended outages.

Third-party links. Articles may link to external resources, including Thomson Reuters documentation. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or practices. Following external links is at your discretion.

3. User obligations

To keep the site useful and compliant, you agree to provide accurate information when submitting forms and to interact in good faith. If you request a walkthrough or training, you are responsible for ensuring that sharing any materials with us complies with your professional obligations, confidentiality duties, and vendor policies.

Responsible sharing. Do not include client names, docket numbers, or privileged facts in the public contact form. If you need to share matter context, describe it in general terms until we establish a secure channel.

Compliance with law. You are responsible for ensuring your use of the site complies with laws and regulations applicable to you, including export controls, privacy laws, and professional conduct rules. Because our content discusses legal research platforms, you should verify that any workflows described align with licensing terms applicable to your organization.

Feedback. If you provide feedback or suggestions, you grant Westlaw Club a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use and incorporate that feedback into our content without obligation to you. This helps us iterate quickly while crediting contributors where feasible.

4. Intellectual property

All content on the site—including text, graphics, layouts, and custom images—is owned by Westlaw Club or its contributors, except where otherwise noted. You may reference or quote short excerpts for educational or internal purposes with attribution. You may not republish substantial portions, create derivative works, or use our branding without prior written permission.

Trademarks. “Westlaw” and related marks are trademarks of Thomson Reuters and are used here solely for descriptive purposes. Westlaw Club is independent and not affiliated with Thomson Reuters. Nothing in these terms grants you rights to use Thomson Reuters trademarks.

License grants. Except for limited sharing described above, no license or assignment of intellectual property rights is granted to you. If we provide downloadable materials (such as checklists), they are licensed for internal use by your organization and may not be sold or publicly redistributed.

6. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the site at any time without notice if we reasonably believe you have violated these terms, attempted to compromise site security, or engaged in abuse. You may stop using the site at any time. Sections concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and governing law survive termination.

7. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these terms or the site will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

8. Changes to these terms

When we update these terms, we will revise the “Last updated” date and post the new version on this page. Material changes that affect your rights will be highlighted within the page. Continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

9. Contact

Questions about these terms may be sent to legal@westlaw-club.com or by mail to Westlaw Club, 745 5th Ave, New York, NY 10151, USA. We aim to respond within one business day.

10. No legal advice; accuracy

Westlaw Club provides educational commentary about legal research platforms. We are not a law firm, and nothing on the site constitutes legal advice. You should consult qualified counsel for legal advice tailored to your situation. Any examples, checklists, or workflows described on the site are illustrative and may not address the facts, jurisdictions, or procedural posture of your matter.

We strive for accuracy and currency, but legal authorities change. You must perform your own validation using services such as KeyCite or other citators, review jurisdiction-specific rules, and confirm that secondary sources remain current. We disclaim responsibility for outcomes that rely solely on information published here without independent verification.

11. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Westlaw Club, its contributors, and affiliates from and against any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (a) your violation of these terms; (b) your misuse of the site; or (c) your infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property or other rights of a third party while using the site.

We will promptly notify you of any claim subject to this indemnity and will allow you to control the defense and settlement of the claim, provided that you do not settle in a manner that imposes obligations on Westlaw Club without our prior written consent.

12. Service modifications and maintenance

We may add, modify, or remove content, features, or sections of the site at any time to reflect changes in Westlaw products, legal developments, or user feedback. Significant structural changes—such as adding interactive tools—will be accompanied by updated terms if they affect how data is processed.

From time to time we may conduct maintenance that temporarily affects availability. When planned maintenance is expected to exceed one hour, we will post a notice on the site at least 24 hours in advance. Unplanned outages will be addressed promptly, and we will provide status updates on the homepage when feasible.

13. Dispute resolution

Before filing a claim, you agree to attempt to resolve the issue informally by contacting us at legal@westlaw-club.com with a description of the dispute. We will respond within 15 days. If we cannot resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may pursue remedies in the courts identified in Section 7. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief for misuse of intellectual property or breach of confidentiality.

If you are located outside the United States, mandatory local consumer laws may grant you additional rights. These terms do not limit those rights where they apply.

14. Severability and waiver

If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Failure by Westlaw Club to enforce any right or provision will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative.

15. Export controls and sanctions

The site is operated from the United States and may include content subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations. You agree not to access or use the site in violation of such laws, including restrictions administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). You represent that you are not located in a comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction and are not a denied or restricted party.

16. Entire agreement

These Terms of Service, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Westlaw Club regarding your use of the site and supersede any prior understandings or agreements on the same subject. If you enter a separate written agreement with us for consulting services, that agreement will govern to the extent of any conflict.

17. Notices

We may provide notices by posting on the site or sending an email to the address you provided in a contact form. Notices take effect when posted or sent. If your contact information changes, please let us know so we can maintain accurate records. Formal legal notices should be sent to Westlaw Club, 745 5th Ave, New York, NY 10151, USA, with a copy to legal@westlaw-club.com.

We welcome suggestions to improve these terms so they remain clear, practical, and aligned with the needs of legal professionals who rely on Westlaw every day.

Responses are typically provided within one business day.
