Notes about Contracting with LexisNexis Canada

1. The registration procedure creates a personal contract between you and LexisNexis Canada. The academic institution is not responsible for the use of your ID and password and is not privy to the contract.
2. LexisNexis Canada considers the registration procedure to be a binding online contract (a "click-through" contract).
3. The contract allows LexisNexis Canada to suspend access to Quicklaw when the student is not enrolled (i.e., between school terms, during work placement, or during other employment). There are limited exceptions to this suspension of service. Furthermore, there are limitations on the use that may be made of Quicklaw sources under the General Terms and Conditions for use of the LexisNexis^® Quicklaw™ Services.
4. Existing IDs and passwords are automatically reactivated when the school term begins again, until the graduation date indicated. Please do not repeat the above registration procedure to obtain another ID and password. Please contact Customer Support if you require assistance.
