We ran into exactly this same situation with a faculty member trying to purchase a Vimeo Plus subscription a few weeks ago. Our purchasing department was in talks with the Attorney General to come to a resolution on it but as of yet we haven't found a resolution. We're in Virginia by the way.<div>

Have any public institutions out there had any difficulty purchasing<br>
online services like Akismet due to state contract regulations that<br>
prevent terms like adjudication in another state? If so, were you able<br>
to find a legal solution that allowed you to purchase the service?<br>
This would also apply to plugins, backup services, or any other small<br>
Internet service that rightly doesn't have the resources to hire a<br>
lawyer for each customer?<br>
