Terms of Use

Welcome to osaro.com, the website of OSARO, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“OSARO” “we” or “us”). This page explains the terms by which you may use our website (“Website”). By accessing or using the Website, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (“Terms”) and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in the OSARO Privacy Notice, www.osaro.com/privacy, whether or not you are a registered user of our Website.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the Website (“you” or “Users”). Please read these Terms carefully, to ensure that you understand and agree to each provision. These Terms contain a mandatory individual arbitration and class action/jury trial waiver provision that requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions.

10. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver

  1. Governing Law. You agree that: (a) the Website shall be deemed solely based in California; and (b) the Website shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California. These Terms shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to any conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the provisions of these Terms shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in San Francisco County, California for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that San Francisco County, California is the proper forum for any appeal of any arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.

  2. Arbitration. Read this section carefully because it requires the parties to arbitrate their disputes and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from OSARO. For any dispute with OSARO, you agree to first contact us at legal@osaro.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that OSARO has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms, the Website, other Products, and/or the Privacy Notice, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), will be resolved by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) as a court, and must follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration shall be conducted in San Francisco County, California, unless you and OSARO agree otherwise in writing. If you are using the Website for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Website for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney’s fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process described herein. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing OSARO from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights.

  3. Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have obtained or used the Website for personal, commercial or other purposes, any dispute resolution proceedings must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not in a class, consolidated or representative action, private attorney general action or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. The arbitral tribunal shall have the power to rule on any challenge to its own jurisdiction or to the validity or enforceability of any portion of this Section. You agree that pursuant to these Terms, you and OSARO are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind.

11. General

  1. Assignment. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by OSARO without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.

  2. Notification Procedures and Changes to the Terms. OSARO may provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through posting of such notice on our Website, as determined by OSARO in our sole discretion. OSARO reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to users, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in these Terms. OSARO is not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to email notifications we send to the email address you provide us. OSARO may, in its sole discretion, modify or update these Terms from time to time, and so you should review this page periodically. It is your sole responsibility to check the Website from time to time to view any such changes to the Terms. When we change these Terms in a material manner, we will update the ‘last modified’ date at the bottom of this page and notify you that material changes have been made. Your continued use of the Website after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use. If you do not agree to any of these terms or any future Terms of Use, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Website.

  3. Entire Agreement/Severability. These Terms, together with the Privacy Notice, and any other legal notices published by OSARO, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and OSARO concerning the Website. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect, except that in the event of unenforceability of the universal Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver, the entire arbitration agreement shall be unenforceable.

  4. No Waiver. No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and OSARO’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

  5. Contact. Please contact us at legal@osaro.com with any questions regarding these Terms.
