OPEN PASS SUBSCRIPTIONS

What do I get when I purchase an Open Pass?

When you purchase an Open Pass subscription, you will receive a Company Access Code and a block of hours, valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. Anyone in your organisation can use these hours to view both live and on-demand content, plus all the content resources, from any practice area on the site.

Each time a new piece of content is accessed using your Open Pass, the advertised number of CPD hours will be deducted from the balance.

Once you have added an item to your Open Pass, you can log in and view it again as many times as you like during the 12 months your Open Pass is valid - without using any more of your hours.


What happens after I purchase an Open Pass?

After you purchase an Open Pass you will receive an email providing you with a Company Access Code and further information on how to use your subscription.


When does my Open Pass start?

Your Open Pass commences on the date you receive the email with your Company Access Code.


How do I set up additional users on my Open Pass?

Your Open Pass can be used by anyone in your organisation. You just need to provide them with your Company Access Code and they can use it to register on the site. Once registered, they can start using the Open Pass to view content and earn CPD hours.


How do I access content with my Open Pass?

When you want to view live or on-demand content, simply click on 'Book this content'. On the purchase page you will be given the option to log in as an existing user and use your Open Pass to buy the content. If you're already logged in, you will only need to enter your password to confirm purchase.

Once you have entered your password, the corresponding number of CPD hours will be deducted from your Open Pass and the item will be added to your My Content library for you to view at your convenience. If you have booked an upcoming live event, you will be sent instructions on how to access it prior to the day of broadcast.

Once you have added content to your Open Pass, you can log in and view it again as many times as you like during the 12 months your Open Pass is valid - without using any more of your hours.


I don't have enough hours left, what can I do?

If you're getting low on hours, you can 'top up' with as many additional hours as you need to see you through to the end of your Open Pass subscription period.

Top-ups are available in blocks of 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 75 or 100 hours.

Top-up hours can only be purchased by the Open Pass subscription administrator, via their My Account page or over the phone on 0845 026 8213.


What happens when my Open Pass is due to end?

Before your Open Pass Subscription is due to end, we will send you a renewal letter and invoice to renew your Open Pass for another 12 months.

If you would like to change the number of hours on your Open Pass or cancel your subscription, please contact us in writing at TRLUKI.legalpd@thomsonreuters.com within 30 days of the renewal invoice date.

If we don't hear from you, your Open Pass will automatically renew with the same amount of hours as the previous year and will commence the day after your current subscription ends.
