Terms of Service
OSHAlytics, LLC (“OSHAlytics”, “we,” “our”), creators of OSHAlytics, offers a variety of productivity, collaboration, and organizational tools available online, including via a mobile application (collectively, the “Service”), and websites, including but not limited to, oshalytics.com and its subdomains (the “Websites”) to you, your organization, and/or employer (collectively, the “Customer”); provided that if you access or use the Service in an individual capacity and not on behalf of an organization or employer, “Customer” means you.
OSHAlytics has three different types of users depending on the OSHAlytics products used:
- We call users of our Websites “Site Visitors.”
- We call users who use the free version of the Service “Free Users.” While Free Users can access and use the Service, they may have access to a more limited set of Service features and functionality for a more limited timeframe than Subscribers.
- We call users who use the Service as part of a paid subscription plan for our Service (regardless of the subscription tier) “Subscribers.”
We refer to these three types of users collectively as “Users” or “you” for purposes of these User Terms of Service (the “Terms”). Regardless of what type of User you are, these Terms create a legal agreement directly between you and OSHAlytics and explain the rules governing use of the Service and Websites. By accessing or using the Service and Websites, you acknowledge and agree that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, please do not access or use the Service and Websites.
We may, from time to time, modify these Terms. Please check this page periodically for updates. If you do not agree to, or cannot comply with, the modified Terms, you must stop using the Service and Websites. The updated Terms will take effect upon their posting and will apply on a going-forward basis, unless otherwise provided in a notice to you, and except as provided in the Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section of these Terms. Your continued use of the Service and Websites after any such update constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
1. Eligibility and Scope
General. To use the Service and Websites you must be, and represent and warrant that you are, at least 18 years of age and competent to agree to these Terms. If OSHAlytics has previously prohibited you from accessing or using the Service and Websites, you are not permitted to access or use the Service and Websites.
2. Account Registration and Use
Account Registration and Confidentiality
To access the Service and Websites, you must register for an OSHAlytics account by creating a user name and password. You agree to provide us with accurate, complete, and current registration information about yourself. It is your responsibility to ensure that your password remains confidential and secure. By registering, you agree that you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your username and password. We may assume that any communications we receive under your account have been made by you. If you are a billing owner, an administrator, or if you have confirmed in writing that you have the authority to make decisions on behalf of a Customer (“Account Administrator”), you represent and warrant that you are authorized to make decisions on behalf of the Customer and agree that OSHAlytics is entitled to rely on your instructions.
Unauthorized Account Use
You are responsible for notifying us at [email protected] if you become aware of any unauthorized use of or access to your account. You understand and agree that we may require you to provide information that may be used to confirm your identity and help ensure the security of your account. OSHAlytics will not be liable for any loss, damages, liability, expenses or attorneys’ fees that you may incur as a result of someone else using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge and/or authorization, and regardless of whether you have or have not advised us of such unauthorized use. You will be liable for losses, damages, liability, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by OSHAlytics or a third party due to someone else using your account. In the event that the Account Administrator or Customer loses access to an account or otherwise requests information about an account, OSHAlytics reserves the right to request from the Account Administrator or Customer any verification it deems necessary before restoring access to or providing information about such account in its sole discretion.

User Content and Feedback Representations
You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit User Content and Feedback without violating any third-party rights, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights, and that your User Content and Feedback comply with these Terms and all applicable laws. You acknowledge that OSHAlytics does not control User Content or Feedback and is not responsible for it, and that by using the Service and/or Websites you may be exposed to content that is offensive, indecent, inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise objectionable.
Indemnity for User Content and Feedback
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless OSHAlytics from and against claims arising out of or relating to User Content or Feedback you submit, including claims that such content violates applicable law or third-party rights. OSHAlytics reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate with OSHAlytics in asserting any available defenses.
5. AI-Generated Content
The Service utilizes artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning models to generate outputs, reports, analyses, recommendations, summaries, or other content (“AI-Generated Content”). AI-Generated Content is provided solely for informational purposes and does not constitute legal, compliance, or professional safety advice.

You agree that OSHAlytics shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service and Websites.
13. Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
This Section is deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and OSHAlytics agree that we intend that this Section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section can only be amended by mutual agreement.
We believe that arbitration is a faster, more convenient and less expensive way to resolve any disputes or disagreements that you may have with us. Therefore, pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, if you have any dispute or disagreement with us regarding (i) your use of or interaction with the Websites, (ii) any purchases or other transactions or relationships with OSHAlytics including in connection with OSHAlytics Content, or (iii) any data or information you may provide to OSHAlytics or that OSHAlytics may gather in connection with such use, interaction or transaction (collectively, “OSHAlytics Transactions or Relationships”), you will not have the right to pursue a claim in court or have a jury decide the claim, except as expressly permitted under this Section 13 (including to seek provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, to compel arbitration, or to enforce an arbitration award). By using or interacting with the Websites, or engaging in any other OSHAlytics Transactions or Relationships with us, you agree to binding arbitration as provided below.
We will make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes, or disagreements that you may have with us. If those efforts fail, by using our Websites, you agree that any complaint, dispute, or disagreement you may have against OSHAlytics, and any claim that OSHAlytics may have against you, arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms and Conditions, our Privacy Statement, or any OSHAlytics Transactions or Relationships shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. or its successor (“JAMS”) and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the “Applicable Rules”). The Applicable Rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. If JAMS is no longer in existence, the Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (“AAA”) instead, and conducted in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at that time (which shall be the “Applicable Rules” in such circumstances). Furthermore, this Section shall not prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. You agree with us that:
Single Arbitrator
The Arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Applicable Rules or by mutual agreement between you and OSHAlytics (the “Arbitrator”).
Arbitrator Will Interpret This Agreement
The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms and Conditions and/or these arbitration provisions in this Section hereof, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms and Conditions is void or voidable.
Location of Arbitration
The Arbitration shall be held either: (i) at a location determined by JAMS (or, if applicable, AAA) pursuant to the Applicable Rules (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you and does not require travel in excess of 100 miles from your home or place of business); or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and OSHAlytics; or (iii) at the election of either party by videoconference, telephone or by written submission.
Governing Law
The Arbitrator (i) shall apply internal laws of the State of Maryland consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, or, to the extent (if any) that federal law prevails, shall apply the law of the U.S., irrespective of any conflict of law principles; (ii) shall entertain any motion to dismiss, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or any other dispositive motion consistent with Maryland or federal rules of procedure, as applicable; (iii) shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; and (iv) shall have authority to award any form of legal or equitable relief.
No Class Relief
The Arbitration can resolve only your and/or OSHAlytics’s individual claims, and the Arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain or arbitrate any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.
Written Award
The Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator’s complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an “Award”). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets.
Arbitration Costs
In the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of Arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, OSHAlytics will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the Arbitration as the Arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive, regardless of the outcome of the Arbitration, unless the Arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or asserted in bad faith in which case you shall be liable if the arbitrator so determines, for OSHAlytics’ reasonable costs and expenses including professional and attorney’s fees.
Reasonable Attorney’s Fees
In the event you recover an Award greater than OSHAlytics’s last written settlement offer, the Arbitrator shall also have the right to include in the Award OSHAlytics’s reimbursement of your reasonable and actual out-of-pocket attorney’s fees associated with the Arbitration, but OSHAlytics shall in all events bear its own attorney’s fees.
Interpretation and Enforcement of Arbitration Clause
With the exception of subpart (e) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Applicable Rules, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (e) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor OSHAlytics shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute, and must instead bring any claims in a court of competent jurisdiction.
Survival
This Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of your use of the Service and Websites.
Changes to This Section
OSHAlytics will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any changes to this section by posting on the Service and Websites. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the Service and Websites or sent to you by email. Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on “Changes to This Section” is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver, and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you began using the Service and Websites.
14. Service Duration, Cancellations, Refunds and Data Retention
14.1 Service End Date
Access to the Service continues until the Service End Date. The “Service End Date” is: (a) for cancellation, non-renewal, expiration, or downgrades that end access, the end of the then-current paid subscription period or trial period (as applicable); and (b) for termination for cause under these Terms, immediate upon notice (or when access is disabled).
14.2 No Access After Service End Date
After the Service End Date, your account will be placed in a disabled state and you will not be permitted to access the Service or any in-product features, including viewing, downloading, or otherwise accessing data through the Service.
14.3 Retention Period (90 Days)
Except as set forth in Section 14.6 (Legal/Security Holds) and Section 14.7 (Illegal Content), OSHAlytics will retain Customer and User Content associated with the applicable Account for ninety (90) days following the Service End Date (the “Retention Period”). After the Retention Period ends, OSHAlytics will delete the applicable Account’s live production data as described in Section 14.5.
14.4 Export by Written Request Only
During the Retention Period, OSHAlytics will provide an export of the Account’s data only upon written request from the Account’s Billing Owner or an Account Administrator (each, an “Authorized Administrator”). Requests must be submitted to [email protected] and must include: (a) a signed request from an Authorized Administrator, and (b) a photograph of a valid government-issued identification of that Authorized Administrator. OSHAlytics may require additional reasonable verification. Exports are provided in JSON format containing structured data and do not include attachments (including, without limitation, PDFs, images, audio, or video files).
14.5 Deletion of Live Data; Attachments
On the ninety-first (91st) day after the Service End Date, OSHAlytics will delete the Account’s live production data such that it is no longer accessible in production systems. Attachments (including PDFs, images, audio, and video) are retained only through the Retention Period and are deleted from live systems and backups after the Retention Period.
14.6 Backups
OSHAlytics maintains backups as part of its standard business practices. Following deletion from live systems, residual non-attachment data may remain in backups until such backups are rotated or aged out per standard practices. OSHAlytics does not provide restoration of deleted data from backups except in its sole discretion or as required by law.
14.7 Legal and Security Holds
Notwithstanding the foregoing, OSHAlytics may retain data beyond the Retention Period to the extent required to comply with applicable law, a legal hold, or to investigate or address security incidents, fraud, abuse, or suspected violations of these Terms. When the basis for extended retention no longer applies, OSHAlytics will delete such data promptly, subject to backup rotation and Section 14.6.
14.8 Free Users and Trials
Free Users are subject to the same Retention Period and export procedures described in this Section 14. For Free Users, the Service End Date occurs at the end of the Free User trial period (unless converted to a paid subscription).
14.9 Re-Subscription During Retention Period
If the Customer re-subscribes during the Retention Period, OSHAlytics may, in its discretion, reactivate and restore the Account and its retained data.
14.10 Termination for Cause; Illegal Content
If OSHAlytics terminates access for cause, OSHAlytics may disable access immediately. No export is available following termination for cause. In addition, OSHAlytics may immediately remove or delete content where it determines, in good faith, that such content is illegal or that immediate removal is necessary to comply with law or protect the Service, users, or the public.
15. Fees; Billing; Price Changes
Fees as Presented
Fees for the Service are as presented to you at the time of purchase through the Service, Websites, or an order form or checkout flow (including, without limitation, through a third-party payment processor such as Stripe) (collectively, an “Order”). By placing an Order, you authorize OSHAlytics (and its payment processor) to charge the payment method you provide for the applicable fees, taxes, and other amounts described in the Order.
Subscription Term; Auto-Renewal
If you purchase a subscription, your subscription will continue for the subscription period identified in the applicable Order (e.g., monthly or annual) and will automatically renew for successive periods of the same length unless you cancel prior to the renewal date in accordance with the cancellation instructions provided in the Service, your account settings, or as otherwise communicated by OSHAlytics.
Changes to Fees; Notice
OSHAlytics may change the fees for the Service (including subscription fees, seat-based fees, usage-based fees, or other charges) from time to time. If we make a change to fees that applies to your subscription, we will provide you advance notice of the change (for example, by email, in-product notice, or posting a notice on the Service or Websites) at least thirty (30) days before the change becomes effective, unless a shorter period is required or permitted by law.
Effective Date of Price Changes
Unless otherwise stated in our notice to you, any fee change will take effect at the start of your next renewal subscription period following the notice period and will apply going forward. Fee changes will not apply retroactively to any subscription period for which fees have already been paid.
Your Options
If you do not agree to a fee change, you may cancel your subscription before the fee change takes effect. If you cancel, you may continue to access the Service through the end of the then-current paid subscription period (subject to these Terms), and the fee change will not apply. Continued use of the Service after the fee change becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of the new fees.
16. Governing Law; Venue; Severability
These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to conflict of law principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of Section 13 (Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver).
Except as otherwise provided in Section 13, any action or proceeding not subject to arbitration (including, without limitation, an action to enforce an arbitration award, to compel arbitration, or to seek provisional or injunctive relief in aid of arbitration) shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Baltimore County, Maryland, and you and OSHAlytics consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
If any provision of these Terms is found by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and such provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving the parties’ intent.
17. General Terms
Force Majeure
Under no circumstances shall OSHAlytics or its licensor or supplier be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from an event beyond its reasonable control.
No Waiver
No waiver of any provision of these Terms will be binding unless in writing, no waiver of any provisions of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and the failure of OSHAlytics to exercise or enforce any right or remedy in these Terms does not waive that right or remedy. If an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms to be invalid, the parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
Third-Party Beneficiaries
You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.
Statute of Limitations
Except for residents of New Jersey, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of the Service and Websites and/or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
Miscellaneous
These Terms (and all terms and conditions incorporated herein) constitute the entire agreement between you and OSHAlytics and govern your use of the Service and Websites, and supersede any prior agreements between you and OSHAlytics on the subject matter. These Terms, and any rights or licenses granted hereunder, may not be assigned or delegated by you. These Terms, and any rights or licenses granted hereunder, may be assigned or delegated by OSHAlytics without restriction. These Terms bind and inure to the benefit of each party and the party’s successors and permitted assigns. These Terms may not be modified by an oral statement by a representative of OSHAlytics. No agency, partnership, joint venture or employee-employer relationship is intended or created by these Terms. You agree that any agreements made by and between you and us in electronic form are as legally binding as if made in physical written form. If you are using the Service and Websites for or on behalf of the U.S. government, your license rights do not exceed those granted to non-government consumers. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Any provision of these Terms that by its nature is reasonably intended to survive beyond termination of these Terms shall survive.
