OASIS legal
Terms of Use
These terms govern access to the OASIS private beta and service. They are designed for schools, early-years settings, educators and authorised staff—not for use by children directly.
Effective 10 September 2026 · Version 1.0
1. The service
OASIS is an educator-support platform for recording observations, organising evidence, reviewing learning patterns and preparing draft planning or reporting material. During the private beta, features may be refined, added or withdrawn as OASIS learns from authorised testers.
OASIS is not a medical, psychological, safeguarding or legal service and is not a substitute for professional educator judgement or the policies of the relevant school.
2. Who may use OASIS
Users must be at least 18, be legally capable of accepting these terms and be authorised by the relevant school or setting. OASIS accounts are for educators, school leaders, teaching assistants and other authorised adults. Children must not be given accounts or asked to use the service directly.
A person accepting these terms for an organisation confirms that they have authority to bind that organisation. Each organisation is responsible for assigning appropriate roles and promptly removing access that is no longer required.
3. Accounts and access
- Provide accurate account and school information.
- Use a separate account for each person; do not share sign-ins.
- Protect passwords and devices and use reasonable security measures.
- Notify OASIS promptly about suspected loss or unauthorised access.
- Do not access another school, class or learner without authorisation.
The school administrator controls invitations and school-level access. OASIS may suspend an account where reasonably necessary to investigate a security risk, misuse or breach of these terms.
4. School and learner responsibilities
The school determines why learner information is entered and remains responsible for its accuracy, lawfulness and educational use. Before using OASIS with learner information, the school must:
- have an appropriate legal basis and organisational authority;
- provide required information to staff, families and learners;
- obtain parental or guardian consent where applicable law requires it;
- limit data to what is relevant for observation and assessment;
- avoid unnecessary sensitive, medical or safeguarding information; and
- review permissions, exports and generated content before sharing them.
The school remains responsible for responding to requests concerning its learner records. OASIS will provide reasonable assistance where required by the parties' data-processing arrangements and applicable law.
5. AI-supported output and educator review
Some OASIS features use automated systems to suggest framework matches, learning patterns, next steps or draft wording. These outputs are probabilistic and may be inaccurate, incomplete or unsuitable for a particular learner or setting.
A qualified educator must review and take responsibility for any output before relying on, saving, sharing or acting on it. Users must not use an OASIS suggestion as the sole basis for a high-impact decision, diagnosis, safeguarding conclusion, placement decision or formal determination about a child.
6. Acceptable use
You must not:
- break the law or another person's rights;
- upload content you are not authorised or licensed to use;
- enter information unrelated to the educational purpose of OASIS;
- attempt to bypass access controls or test security without permission;
- introduce malware, disrupt the service or use it to harm another person;
- scrape, resell or provide unauthorised access to the service; or
- misrepresent AI-supported output as independently verified fact.
7. Your content and framework materials
The school or relevant rights holder retains ownership of content uploaded to OASIS. The school grants OASIS a limited right to host, copy, process and display that content only as needed to provide, secure and support the service and meet legal obligations.
Users must have permission or an appropriate licence for every assessment framework, document, image or other third-party resource they upload. Uploading a framework does not transfer ownership to OASIS or add it to a public library unless the rights holder separately agrees.
OASIS owns its software, design, branding and service-generated product structure. Subject to these terms, OASIS gives each authorised user a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right to use the service for the organisation's internal educational work.
8. Privacy and confidentiality
The OASIS Privacy Policy forms part of these terms. Each party must protect confidential information it receives and use it only for the authorised purpose. Where required, OASIS and the school will enter into an appropriate data-processing agreement before production use.
9. Beta availability and changes
OASIS aims to provide a reliable service but the private beta is supplied for evaluation and may contain errors or experience interruptions. OASIS may change features to improve safety, legal compliance or product quality. Reasonable notice will be given before a material change that significantly reduces paid functionality, where feasible and contractually required.
10. Ending access
A user may stop using OASIS at any time. A school administrator may remove a user's access. OASIS may suspend or end access for material breach, unlawful use, security risk, non-payment under a future paid plan or where continuing the service would create legal or technical harm.
On termination, the school should request any permitted export within the communicated retrieval period. OASIS will delete or return school content in line with applicable data-processing terms, legal requirements and its backup schedule.
11. Warranties and liability
Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence where applicable. Mandatory rights under German, Indian or other applicable law remain unaffected.
Subject to those mandatory rights, OASIS is provided on an “as available” basis during beta. OASIS does not warrant that AI-supported output is accurate or that the service will be uninterrupted. OASIS is not responsible for educational decisions made without appropriate professional review, or for loss caused by unauthorised user content, shared credentials or use contrary to these terms.
Any financial liability cap, service-level commitment or paid subscription term stated in a signed order or school agreement takes precedence over this general section to the extent of a conflict.
12. Governing terms and local law
A signed school agreement or order form takes priority if it conflicts with these online terms. The contracting OASIS entity and governing law will be identified in the applicable school agreement or order before paid or production use. Where the contracting entity is established in Germany, German law applies; where it is established in India, Indian law applies, in each case without removing protections that cannot be waived under the law applicable to the user or school.
13. Contact and updates
Questions about these terms may be sent to privacy@useoasis.app. OASIS may update these terms as the service or law changes. Material changes will be communicated where required, and the current effective date will always appear at the top of this page.
