"When you visit www.thomsonreuters.com or send e-mails to us, you are communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive communications from us electronically. We will communicate with you by e-mail or by posting notices on this site. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.Excerpt from Thomson Reuters's Terms
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Electronic communications consent clauses of this type are governed in the U.S. by the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) and state Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) implementations, which permit electronic substitution for written communications under defined conditions. In the EU, the eIDAS Regulation governs electronic signatures and communications in cross-border contexts. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. This provision is standard in consumer and commercial web agreements. Its primary operational significance is that it enables Thomson Reuters to satisfy notice requirements through site postings rather than direct mail or email, which interacts with the unilateral amendment mechanism. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: Some jurisdictions impose heightened requirements for electronic consent to be effective, including affirmative consent confirmation and the ability to withdraw consent. EU and UK users may have additional rights regarding the form and adequacy of electronic disclosures under applicable consumer protection law. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: B2B users relying on Thomson Reuters website notices for contract or service updates should establish internal monitoring procedures for the Thomson Reuters terms page, as this clause authorizes notice by site posting rather than direct communication. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should assess whether their organization's receipt of electronic notices via site posting satisfies internal contract management and audit requirements, particularly for regulated industries requiring documented evidence of contractual terms.
