What it is

When the Thomson Reuters website links to other websites, Thomson Reuters says it is not responsible for what is on those sites and does not endorse or check them.

This analysis describes what Thomson Reuters's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Users who follow links from the Thomson Reuters website to third-party sites cannot hold Thomson Reuters responsible for any harm, inaccurate information, or privacy practices they encounter on those external sites.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Clicking on third-party links from the Thomson Reuters website means you are leaving Thomson Reuters' terms entirely, and any data you provide to linked sites is governed solely by those sites' own privacy and terms policies. Thomson Reuters accepts no responsibility for the accuracy, safety, or privacy practices of linked destinations.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This type of third-party link disclaimer is standard across the industry and is broadly enforceable in the US. Under GDPR, a data controller is not generally liable for independent data processing by third-party sites to which it links, provided it does not direct users to third-party sites as part of a joint processing arrangement. However, where Thomson Reuters profits from referral arrangements with linked sites, the FTC's endorsement guidelines may require disclosure of material connections. The FTC is the primary US enforcement authority. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. Third-party link disclaimers of this type are uniform industry practice and carry minimal standalone compliance risk. Risk is elevated only if specific linked sites engage in harmful practices and Thomson Reuters has been put on notice but continues to link. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: This provision is standard and broadly enforceable across US, EU, and UK jurisdictions. No jurisdiction-specific heightened exposure is identified for this specific clause. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: If Thomson Reuters has commercial relationships with any linked third-party sites (affiliate arrangements, data partnerships, or referral programs), those relationships may need to be disclosed under FTC endorsement guidelines. Procurement teams do not need to take specific action regarding this clause. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams may want to periodically audit outbound links on the Thomson Reuters website to confirm that linked destinations do not engage in practices that could create reputational or regulatory risk by association. This is a standard hygiene practice rather than a specific compliance obligation under these terms.
