OR SERVICES or any services procured from third parties FOR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, USE, OR

By use of the Services, you consent to receive electronic communications from Oasis (via email or via a
posting on the Services), and you agree that any such communications satisfy any legal requirement to
make such communications in writing. You also agree that Oasis may communicate any notices to you
under these Terms of Use through electronic mail, regular mail or posting the notices on the Services. All
notices to OASIS LEGAL SERVICES must be provided by either sending: : (i) an email
to info@oasislegalservices.org; or (ii) a letter, first class certified mail, to Oasis Legal Services, 1900
Addison St., Suite 100, Berkeley, CA 94704, Attention: Executive Director. Such notices will be deemed
delivered upon receipt.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
These Terms of Use and other agreements, rules, and policies incorporated by reference to this Terms
including the Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Oasis. It supersedes any
prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements, whether written or oral, between you
and Oasis regarding the subject matter contained in these Terms of Use. Additional terms and conditions
may exist between you and third parties, including Service Providers and others. You represent and
warrant that those third party agreements do not interfere with your obligations and duties to Oasis under
these Terms of Use.
GOVERNING LAW AND ARBITRATION; NO CLASS ACTIONS
These Terms, and any claim, cause of action or dispute (“claim”) arising out of or related to these Terms
shall be governed by the laws of the State of California regardless of your country of origin or where you
access the Services. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OR THE
SERVICES WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, except for
Oasis’ right to seek injunctive relief as set forth below.
If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with Oasis and you are an individual, you may opt out of this
arbitration agreement by sending an email to info@oasislegalservices.org within 30 days of the day you
first access or use the Services.
If you intend to seek arbitration you must first send written notice to Oasis of your intent to arbitrate
(“Notice”). The Notice to OASIS LEGAL SERVICES should be sent by any of the following means: (i)
electronic mail to info@oasislegalservices.org; or (ii) sending the Notice by U.S. Postal Service certified
mail to Oasis Legal Services, 1900 Addison St., Suite 100, Berkeley, CA 94704, Attention: Executive
Director. The Notice must (x) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (y) set forth the
specific relief sought; and (z) set forth your name, address and contact information. If we intend to seek
arbitration against you, we will send any notice of dispute to you at the contact information we have for
you.
The arbitration will be conducted before a neutral single arbitrator, whose decision will be final and
binding, and the arbitral proceedings will be governed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”)
under its AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, Consumer Due Process Protocol, and Supplementary
Procedures for Resolution of Consumer Related Disputes, as modified by these Terms. The AAA's rules
are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide,
including the scope of this arbitration clause, but the arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms. If
you initiate arbitration, your arbitration fees will be limited to the filing fee set forth in the AAA’s Consumer
Arbitration Rules. We will reimburse all other AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees paid by you,
unless the arbitrator determines that the arbitration was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, in
which case the payment of all such fees shall be governed by the AAA rules. The arbitration will be
conducted in the English language. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in
any court of competent jurisdiction. For any claim where the potential award is reasonably likely to be
$10,000 or less, either you or OASIS LEGAL SERVICES may elect to have the dispute resolved through
non-appearance-based arbitration.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, YOU AND OASIS EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE
RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN
A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If for any reason a claim proceeds in
court rather than in arbitration, YOU AND OASIS EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If a
court of competent jurisdiction finds the foregoing arbitration provisions invalid or inapplicable, you and
Oasis agree that all claims arising out of or related to these Terms must be resolved exclusively by a state
or federal court located in San Francisco, California, and you and Oasis each agree to submit to the
exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all such claims.
Notwithstanding the above, you agree that Oasis shall still be allowed to apply for and obtain injunctive
remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction. You agree that regardless of any
statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out or related to your use of the
Services or these Terms of Use shall be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose
or will forever be barred.
MISCELLANEOUS
If you breach any term of this Terms of Use or other agreement with Oasis, Oasis may pursue any legal
or equitable remedy available, including but not limited to, direct, consequential, and punitive damages
and injunctive relief. Oasis’ remedies are cumulative and not exclusive. Failure of Oasis to exercise any
remedy or enforce any portion of the Terms of Use at any time shall not operate as a waiver of any
remedy or of the right to enforce any portion of the Agreement at any time thereafter. If any provision of
the Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to
the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and
enforceable. This Terms of Use is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with Oasis’
prior written consent. We may transfer, assign or delegate the Terms and its rights and obligations
without consent. Users of this Services are responsible for compliance with all applicable regulations and
laws. No joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and Oasis as
a result of these Terms of Use or use of the Services.
CONTACTING US
If you have any comments or questions regarding these Terms, or wish to report any violation of these
Terms of Use, please contact us at info@oasislegalservices.org. We will address any issue to the best of
our abilities.
