Saving a document in a folder
There is no charge to save a document or text in a folder. Documents and text in a folder may be accessed at no
charge for 12 months after the initial chargeable view. In transactional billing sessions, the initial chargeable view
occurs the first time a document is viewed (in or out of the folder). Documents viewed in a folder after 12 months
will incur the applicable transactional display charge for the document.
Sharing folders within your organization
There is no charge to share a folder. Documents and text in a shared folder may be accessed at no charge for
12 months after the initial chargeable view by any individual within the organization with whom the folder is shared.
Sharing folders across organizations
There is no charge to share a folder with people outside an organization. Outside the organization, an initial
chargeable view occurs the first time a document is viewed; it is charged according to the Thomson Reuters
Westlaw subscription plan of the person viewing the document. There is no charge for subsequent views within the
following 12 months by anyone within an organization with which the folder is shared.
On Thomson Reuters Westlaw, there are three
broad categories of chargeable events:
•
Searching for documents
•
Viewing documents
•
Offline delivery of documents
The subscription fee you pay for your Thomson Reuters Westlaw CORE subscription covers search for documents
on Thomson Reuters Westlaw, including searching content not included in your plan. A search of all content is
therefore included in your subscription fee, even though it may retrieve results from content not included in your
plan.
The subscription fee also covers viewing documents from content that is included in your plan. When you view
documents from content not included in your plan, standard charges apply and you will be billed at the applicable
rate for that content. Alerting (excluding continuous alerts) and delivery documents are included in your Thomson
Reuters Westlaw CORE subscription.
Under transactional billing, the monthly fee covers:
•
Searching for documents
•
Viewing documents from content included in your plan
•
Offline delivery of documents (printing or downloading)
Search Charges
Search charges for users who have selected transactional billing are included in Thomson Reuters Westlaw subscription plans. For cost
recovery purposes, a $256.00 search charge is incurred for running a search. These charges are listed on your invoice as included
charges. Exceptions are noted below.

Document Display
Each display of a document incurs a transactional charge. Charges vary by content category (see the standard charges
chart). The same rate applies, no matter how the document is accessed (e.g., retrieved by citation, accessed from a
search result list, or viewed from a KeyCite result list). Charges for viewing documents are included or excluded
depending on the content covered by your Thomson Reuters Westlaw subscription plan.
KeyCite
KeyCite charges are included in your Thomson Reuters Westlaw CORE subscription plan. Each citation checked in
KeyCite incurs a charge of $38.00 under transactional billing. KeyCite charges are included or excluded depending
on your Thomson Reuters Westlaw subscription plan.

Incline KeyCite charges are included in your Thomson Reuters Westlaw CORE subscription plan. Each document
where the “Show KeyCite Flags” button is selected incurs a transactional charge of $5.00.
