10. Dispute Resolution

YOU AND SHIRLEY OS AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS:

MANDATORY ARBITRATION. You and Shirley OS agree to resolve any claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services, regardless of when the claim arose, even if it was before these Terms existed (a “Dispute”), through final and binding arbitration. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of account creation or of any updates to these arbitration terms within 30 days after the update has taken effect by filling out this form⁠(opens in a new window). If you opt out of an update, the last set of agreed upon arbitration terms will apply. 

Informal dispute resolution. We would like to understand and try to address your concerns prior to formal legal action. Before either of us files a claim against the other, we both agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally. You agree to do so by sending us notice through this form⁠(opens in a new window). We will do so by sending you notice to the email address associated with your account. If we are unable to resolve a Dispute within 60 days, either of us has the right to initiate arbitration. We also both agree to attend an individual settlement conference if either party requests one during this time. Any statute of limitations will be tolled during this informal resolution process.

Arbitration forum. If we are unable to resolve the Dispute, either of us may commence arbitration with National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”) under its Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures and/or Supplemental Rules for Mass Arbitration Filings, as applicable (available here⁠(opens in a new window)). Shirley OS will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous. The activities described in these Terms involve interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration terms and any arbitration. 

Arbitration procedures. The arbitration will be conducted by videoconference if possible, but if the arbitrator determines a hearing should be conducted in person, the location will be mutually agreed upon, in the county where you reside, or as determined by the arbitrator, unless the batch arbitration process applies. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, except the state or federal courts of San Francisco, California have the authority to determine any Dispute about enforceability, validity of the class action waiver, or requests for public injunctive relief, as set out below. Any settlement offer amounts will not be disclosed to the arbitrator by either party until after the arbitrator determines the final award, if any. The arbitrator has the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. 

Exceptions. This section does not require informal dispute resolution or arbitration of the following claims: (i) individual claims brought in small claims court; and (ii) injunctive or other equitable relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or intellectual property infringement or misappropriation.

CLASS AND JURY TRIAL WAIVERS. You and Shirley OS agree that Disputes must be brought on an individual basis only, and may not be brought as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Class arbitrations, class actions, and representative actions are prohibited. Only individual relief is available. The parties agree to sever and litigate in court any request for public injunctive relief after completing arbitration for the underlying claim and all other claims. This does not prevent either party from participating in a class-wide settlement. You and Shirley OS knowingly and irrevocably waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim. 

Batch arbitration. If 25 or more claimants represented by the same or similar counsel file demands for arbitration raising substantially similar Disputes within 90 days of each other, then you and Shirley OS agree that NAM will administer them in batches of up to 50 claimants each (“Batch”), unless there are less than 50 claimants in total or after batching, which will comprise a single Batch. NAM will administer each Batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one arbitrator, one set of arbitration fees, and one hearing held by videoconference or in a location decided by the arbitrator for each Batch. If any part of this section is found to be invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claimant or Batch, it will be severed and arbitrated in individual proceedings.  

Severability. If any part of these arbitration terms is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect, except that if a finding of partial illegality or unenforceability would allow class arbitration, class action, or representative action, this entire dispute resolution section will be unenforceable in its entirety.

11. Changes to the Terms

Shirley OS may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated in advance. By continuing to use the Services after changes take effect, you accept the revised Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Services.

12. General Provisions

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Shirley OS regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Shirley OS: Data Handling Principles for External Integrations


Shirley OS, Inc. adheres to a set of core principles governing the way it accesses, processes, stores, and secures data from third-party sources, including integrations with platforms such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, and any other systems authorized by customers.


Shirley OS only accesses and processes data for clearly defined, documented purposes that have been authorized by the customer. No data is accessed without prior configuration, explicit permission, or user consent. Each integration must specify its intended use, such as deal enrichment, contact synchronization, or coaching analysis, ensuring that all data handling is purpose-driven and transparent.


Access is always limited to the minimum necessary to provide the requested services. Shirley OS requests only the smallest possible scope of permissions, favoring granular, read-only access whenever possible. Blanket or broad API access is never granted without a justified business need and approval through an audit process.


Customers retain full control over the data Shirley OS can access and how it is used. Through the admin dashboard, customers can view, disable, or revoke integrations at any time. Integration settings are designed to be transparent, providing clear descriptions of the types of data being accessed.


Shirley OS does not engage in silent or background data syncing. Data is only ingested or synchronized in response to a customer-initiated action, whether manual, scheduled by configuration, or explicitly triggered. The company respects customer intent and avoids any passive or hidden data collection.


Security is built into every aspect of Shirley OS’s data integration pipelines. All data is encrypted both in transit (using TLS 1.2 or higher) and at rest (using AES-256). Authentication is handled through secure protocols such as OAuth 2.0 and signed webhooks. Tokens and credentials are stored securely using industry-standard solutions like HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager, with regular rotation and strict scoping.


Data minimization is a fundamental principle: Shirley OS retains only the data necessary to provide its services and only for as long as needed. Temporary data is automatically removed according to system retention policies, and customers have the ability to set custom retention periods or request early deletion of their data.


Customer data is never shared, mixed, or reused across tenants, users, or models unless there is explicit customer authorization. Multi-tenancy is enforced with strict isolation at both the application and database levels. Any fine-tuning of language models or memory features is opt-in and always scoped to the individual tenant.


Shirley OS maintains transparency by logging all data integration activity for auditing, security, and compliance purposes. Every API access, synchronization event, and data transformation is recorded. Enterprise customers may request access to audit logs or export them via API.


Human access to customer data is extremely limited, strictly controlled, and always auditable. Such access only occurs in response to a direct customer request or as part of contractual support, and every instance is logged, reviewed, and governed by just-in-time access controls.


Finally, all data handling practices at Shirley OS are aligned with relevant regulatory and certification frameworks, including GDPR, CCPA, SOC 2, and HIPAA where applicable. Shirley OS is committed to ongoing security assessments and third-party audits as part of its continuous improvement roadmap.
