Accessing documents outside your subscription plan

Your user ID may enable you to see the names of sources that are outside your subscription plan and, after you agree to the payment of additional charges, to access documents outside your plan. Sources containing documents ouside your plan are designated by a single asterisk (*) or a double asterisk (**) after the source name.

A single asterisk (*) after a source name indicates you are permitted to search the source and to view the titles of documents contained within it at no additional charge. After agreeing to the payment of additional charges, you may also access documents within these sources.

A double asterisk (**) after a source name indicates you are permitted to search the source and to view the titles of documents contained within it at no additional charge. Accessing the documents within these sources, however, is prohibited.

In a results list, if a document falls outside your subscription plan, either a Get It Now! link appears in the results list below the document title or an Additional Charges Will Apply icon (Additional Charges Will Apply) appears below the title to the left of each of the parallel citation hyperlinks. Then:

  • If you select the Get It Now! link, you will be accepting the listed charges, and the document will appear.
  • If you select a parallel citation preceded by an Additional Charges Will Apply icon (Additional Charges Will Apply), the Additional Charges Will Apply page appears, where you either accept the charges and access the document or cancel the transaction.

If necessay, you can postpone your decision by saving a document that is outside your plan to a folder. You can open the folder later and either agree to the additional charges and access the document or delete the document from the folder.

Note: Your user ID may be set up to prevent you from accessing documents not included in your subscription plan. Typically, this is by policy of your legal firm. In this case, if you want to access these documents, please contact your account administrator, or call Lexis Advance® Quicklaw® Customer Care.
