Questions, answered

No. The trial is 30 days of full Pro — no card, no billing details. You sign up with an email and start reading. We ask you to choose a plan on day 15, part-way through the trial, so that invoicing has time to run before it ends — and nothing is ever charged unless you say yes. Decline, or ignore it, and you keep the rest of the trial.

Only if you opt in. There is no card at sign-up and no charge at any point unless you choose a plan on day 15 and say yes. If you do, we tell you the date of your first invoice before it is issued, and cancelling before that date costs nothing.

You keep your account and drop to the Free plan — every provision stays readable. Nothing is locked away and nothing is charged. Upgrade whenever it earns its keep.

It depends who is buying, and the price is £50 either way. For an individual £50 is the total, VAT included. A business is quoted £50 excluding VAT, with VAT added at the prevailing rate where it applies — so a UK business pays £50 plus VAT. You are shown the exact total for your situation, and asked to confirm it, before any commitment.

Yes. You can subscribe in an individual capacity, or your employer can purchase your subscription on your behalf. Buying as an individual, you also have a 14-day cancellation right from the day your subscription starts. For firm-wide licensing, get in touch and we will set it up.

EU and UK. EU law comes from EUR-Lex and UK law from legislation.gov.uk — including where UK law has diverged from the EU original since exit.

The official sources — EUR-Lex and legislation.gov.uk — verbatim. We add structure — definitions, cross-references, versions, commencement — around the exact official words, and link every provision back to its source. We never paraphrase the law.

No. The official publications — EUR-Lex and legislation.gov.uk — are the authoritative sources, and every provision here links back to its own. Lex-Ray reproduces their words and adds structure around them; where it matters legally, the official text governs.

No. Pro includes API and MCP access, so your own tools and AI agents can query the same legislation you read — the enriched structure (definitions, cross-references, versions, commencement), not just raw article text. Fair-use volume limits apply per plan; high-volume programmatic access, bulk exports and machine-readable feeds are a separate premium module — talk to us about those.

No — and be wary of anything that claims it can from the law alone. Lex-Ray gives you the law side of that job: the text in force today, what its terms mean including where another instrument defines them, and when each provision applies. Applying that to your facts stays your judgement (or your counsel’s) — we make the law side fast and reliable.

Monthly Pro is a rolling plan — cancel whenever and drop back to the Free plan. The annual option trades commitment for 2 months free: it runs for the twelve months you commit to, so choose it when you already know the year is worth it.

Ready when you are.

30 days of full Pro — no card, just an email. If it doesn't earn its keep, walk away.
