Unilateral Fee Reclassification

critical addon

LSEG has been reported to unilaterally reclassify what was previously non-billable as billable with zero notice and zero discussion, effectively doubling fees overnight for existing customers.

Now, under LSEG's control and being locked in due to a 12 month notice period, it is patently unfair for LSEG to unilaterally change the way they charge and reclassify what was previously not billable as billable with ZERO notice and ZERO discussion. They have effectively doubled our (already expensive) fees overnight and we're locked in for 12 months!

Example: True Cost for 25 Users

License (25 × $15000 × 12) $4,500,000/yr
Unilateral Fee Reclassification +100% of license costs
Estimated Year 1 Total ~$375,000
That's roughly 0.1× the advertised license price. The median Refinitiv Eikon contract is $15,000/yr across Vendr purchases.
