OUTPUT
Users retain rights to generated legal research, drafts, and analysis. LexisNexis does not claim IP ownership over outputs generated.
TRAINING
Explicit contractual prohibition on using Materials to train LLMs. Section 4.3(b) warrants that Subscriber inputs and Subscriber Files will not be used to train any LLM. Section 4.4 confirms LN does not claim IP rights in AI outputs. Opt-out of AI cloud failover available via 30 days written notice (Section 4.6).
