    3. All documents submitted to the Hearing Officer must be served on the other parties to your case and must include a proof of service showing how the document was served on the other parties. A user may electronically serve documents on another party only if that party has agreed to accept service electronically in that matter.

Examples include: full date of birth, full social security number, full taxpayer-identification number, full credit card or debit numbers, full bank account number, full home address, full residential or cell phone numbers, and driver’s license number.

A document that has not been redacted properly, will be returned and not accepted for filing.
    5. All users of the ODLOS system are responsible for taking reasonable steps to prevent sending any material that contains a computer virus.

You also agree that no certification authority or other third-party verification is necessary to validate your electronic signature, and that the lack of such certification or third-party verification will not in any way affect the effect or enforceability of your electronic signature.

    11. Consent to Electronic Service: As a registered user of ODLOS, you agree to receive electronic service of any document in any matter in which you are a case participant. Electronic service means service of a document by transmission to the email address you register to establish an account with this website, or other email address through which you have authorized electronic service. Electronic service may be performed directly by a party or other person, by an agent of a party or other person, including the party or other person’s attorney, or through an electronic filing service provider. Electronic service of a document is deemed complete at the time of the electronic transmission of the document or at the time that the electronic notification of service of the document is sent.
    12. Each case stored in ODLOS contains documents filed by case participants as well as documents issued by the Hearing Officer. Copyright and other proprietary rights may apply to those documents created by case participants and submitted through ODLOS. Such documents may be used only as permitted by law. Pursuant to applicable law, the Hearing Officer may seal records that are part of a hearing, and thereby withhold them from public inspection or disclosure. However, please take notice that documents filed through ODLOS are generally considered public records. As a result, decisions and other documents that show the names of parties, witnesses or other individuals will be accessible to the general public.
