The terms, in short
- Launch prices. If you subscribe at these prices, you keep them for as long as you renew.
- Version 2’s release date will be announced in LHT Reader and on this page before it is released.
- Who needs a business licence. From the ninetieth day after Version 2’s release, an organisation of 11 or more people needs a business licence for each person who uses LHT Reader in it, in either version. Barristers in chambers each count as working on their own account.
- Prices are shown here in US dollars. Where Paddle, which will handle payments, supports your own currency, such as pounds sterling or euros, Version 2 will have a fixed price in that currency, and this page will show it before Version 2 is released. For personal subscribers in the UK and the EU, that price will include VAT. Business licences are priced without VAT; VAT and other sales taxes are added at checkout where they apply.
- The full terms are in the End User Licence Agreement, Part B.
