OvalOptions’ Colorado Conflict Clinic Terms of Service 

 

  1. Rate.   The parties agree to pay OvalOptions a non-refundable fixed fee for each session of up to 2 hours. This fee is for time spent with the Parties and for time required to study documents, research issues, correspond with the Parties (written or oral), prepare draft and final agreements, and do such other things as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the Parties’ reaching full agreement. All fees are non-refundable. Fees are not contingent on the parties reaching an agreement. Responsibility for mediation fees and expenses shall be evenly divided between the Parties, unless the Parties agree otherwise. 

     

  2. Additional Meetings. Our mediation clinic is for cases that require 1-2 mediation sessions. In the event a second session is needed, parties will be charged for an additional session (up to 2 hours). It is at OvalOptions sole discretion to allow another session to be scheduled. Additional fees shall be paid to OvalOptions irrespective of whether the mediation results in an agreement. Additional fees must be paid in advance of any further mediation. 

  3. Rescheduling Limit. If the first meeting must be rescheduled, we will reschedule one time for free provided more than 2 business days’ notice is given. Upon the second reschedule, the case will be closed and the Parties will receive a closure letter. 

  4.  Change of Scope. If information is revealed by the parties after this agreement is signed and OvalOptions accepts payment that changes the nature of the case or the demands on OvalOptions, OvalOptions maintains the right to refuse the case. 

  5. Protection Orders. If there is a Protection Order, you certify this has been discussed with OvalOptions, that the Protection Order allows contact with the other party for the purpose of mediation. OvalOptions will not proceed with mediation until a copy of the most current order has been received by OvalOptions. 

  6. Communication. Emails provided for the purpose of signing documents, such as this agreement, online may been seen by other parties to the mediation.
