"forecast", "project", "plan", "intend", "expect", "should", "could", "will",

intellectual property rights and internet communications; regulatory and other
changes regarding the collection, transfer or use of third-party content and
data; changes in the payment model for RELX products; demand for RELX products
and services; competitive factors in the industries in which RELX operates;
inability to realise the future anticipated benefits of acquisitions;
significant failure or interruption of RELX systems; exhibitors' and
attendees' ability and desire to attend face-to-face events and availability
of event venues; changes in economic cycles, severe weather events, natural

has outsourced business activities; inability to retain high-quality employees

required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or release any
