Misuse of Cleardocs' Terms and Conditions

Thomson Reuters recently became aware that the terms and conditions Legal E Docs published on its website were substantially the same as the terms and conditions pertaining to use of Cleardocs documents that appear on this website.

Thomson Reuters wrote to Legal E Docs pointing out the similarities and requesting Legal E Docs remove the offending terms from their website. In response to that letter, Legal E Docs has now removed the terms and conditions from its site.

Cleardocs takes pride in the quality of its documents and treats seriously any potential infringement of its copyright. This extends to the Cleardocs:
