Summary

These terms govern how you may use Thomson Reuters' website — essentially, for personal use only, with no copying, downloading, or commercial use permitted without written permission. Thomson Reuters makes no guarantees about the site or its content, and the site's information is not legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. You have the right to tell Thomson Reuters not to sell or share your personal information.

Analysis

This document establishes the terms and conditions governing all use of Thomson Reuters' web pages at www.thomsonreuters.com, with agreement formed by the act of use alone. Thomson Reuters grants users a limited license for personal use only, prohibiting any reproduction, duplication, copying, downloading, sale, or commercial exploitation of the site or its Content without prior express written consent, and reserving all proprietary rights in its Content for itself and its licensors. The site is provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis with a total disclaimer of all express and implied warranties, and any unauthorized use automatically terminates the license granted. Thomson Reuters retains unilateral authority to amend the Terms at any time by posting updated terms on the site, and users are provided a right to direct Thomson Reuters not to sell or share their personal information and to limit use of their sensitive personal information.

What this means for you

Using the Thomson Reuters website at all constitutes agreement to these Terms, which limit your use to personal, non-commercial access only — any unauthorized use automatically terminates your license to access the site. The site and all its content are provided without any warranties, and nothing on the site constitutes legal advice or creates an attorney-client relationship, meaning you cannot rely on it as professional legal guidance. You have a right to direct Thomson Reuters not to sell or share your personal information and to limit how it uses your sensitive personal information; you can exercise that right by contacting Thomson Reuters directly.

July 17, 2026

low

What changed Thomson Reuters updated marketing and promotional language on its Terms page in an update detected on July 17, 2026. The revision replaced descriptive text about how expert human intelligence shapes AI with new messaging positioning Thomson Reuters products as tools for 'changemakers' and highlighting customer success stories. The operational effect is a shift in the public-facing narrative and messaging framework on the terms document itself, with no apparent change to the substantive contractual obligations, rights, or restrictions that govern user conduct or service terms.

Why this matters This change is a revision to marketing and promotional copy on Thomson Reuters's Terms page. The updated language repositions how Thomson Reuters describes its products and customer value propositions, but does not alter the substantive terms governing service delivery, user obligations, data handling, fees, or dispute resolution. No consumer rights, protections, or operational requirements have been added, removed, or modified by this change.
