For the purposes of the LVSE Program, “Points” mean those particular LVSE Program measurement increments, which can be used to download documents from the LVSE. Points and their values are: (a) determined by LN in its discretion; (b) subject to change without notice; and (c) may vary among Eligible Users. All Points, including but not limited to earning, saving and using must be used in compliance with these LVSE Rules. Points are not transferable and Points cannot be earned after the LVSE Program is terminated or an individual user’s participation in the LVSE Program has been terminated, as set forth below.

However, if an Eligible User decides to terminate participation then that user can do so by notifying LN at http://www.lexisnexis.com/en-us/contact-us/contact-us.page , and upon such termination the user may use Points accumulated up to the date of termination. An Eligible User’s Points shall be reflected in their LVSE Account. LN is not responsible or liable for any theft, misuse or disclosures associated with a LVSE Account. Any person who tries to create more than one identity in order to obtain more Points shall be disqualified in the sole discretion of LN.
