ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes a browsewrap consent mechanism under which continued site use binds users to both current and future versions of the terms. The unilateral amendment clause reserves Thomson Reuters' right to modify the terms without affirmative re-consent, which may require evaluation under applicable consumer protection and data protection frameworks, particularly for EU-based users under GDPR.

⚠

Interpretive note: Enforceability of browsewrap consent and unilateral amendment provisions varies by jurisdiction and may depend on whether courts find adequate notice was provided.

Under this clause, visiting or using the Thomson Reuters website constitutes agreement to the terms as currently posted, including any amendments that may be published to the site without direct notification.
