Ring Terms of Service

This website is owned and operated by Ring LLC and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively “Ring,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your legal rights to use or access services, software, mobile applications, and websites (the “Services”) and hardware products or devices (“Products”). The definitions of Services and Products are limited to those that are manufactured, sold, provided, or offered by Ring LLC. These Terms also govern your legal rights with respect to Third Party Services (defined below). Please read these Terms carefully before purchasing or using the Products or Services or purchasing or using Third Party Services. By using or accessing the Products or Services or purchasing or using Third Party Services, you signify your acknowledgement and assent to the terms and conditions of use set forth below. These Terms (together with other user agreements, where applicable) constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Ring (this “Agreement”). Please read these Terms closely because they contain important information about automatic renewal.

*If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not purchase or use our Products or Services or Third-Party Services.*

GENERAL

This Agreement represents the entire understanding relating to your purchase or use of the Products and Services or Third-Party Services and prevails over any prior or contemporaneous, conflicting or additional communications between you and Ring. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Ring. However, to the extent your use of a Product or Service involves or is integrated with products or services of affiliated companies, any terms and policies covering those products or services may also apply.

Specific areas or pages of Ring LLC’s websites may include additional or different terms relating to the purchase or use of the Products and Services or Third-Party Services. In the event of a conflict between such specific terms and these Terms, the specific terms shall control. The term “you,” as used in these Terms, includes (i) and (ii) as follows: (i) the following “Owners”: any person or entity who either (a) purchases a Product or Service, or (b) is the owner of the Product and creates an account associated with the Product, and (ii) the following “Covered Parties”: (a) any members of an Owner’s household, or (b) any person or entity that accesses or uses the Owner’s Products or Services. Covered Parties are responsible for their own actions in connection with the Products and Services, but Owner hereby consents to these Terms on behalf of all Covered Parties and agrees to be fully responsible for all actions taken by Covered Parties relating to the Owner’s Products, Services and account, including, without limitation, minor children or wards, regardless of age. As a result, if you are an Owner, you should allow only those individuals that you trust to access your account, Products, and Services.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Products and Services. If you are between the ages of 13 and 18, you may use these Products and Services only with the consent and under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a Covered Party under the age of 18, you consent to these Terms on behalf of such Covered Party and you are fully responsible for the acts of such Covered Party in relation to the Products and Services. All Owners and Covered Parties, regardless of age, agree to these Terms.

If you’re agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on that organization or entity’s behalf and bind them to these Terms (in which case, the references to “you” and “your” in these Terms, except for in this sentence, refer collectively to you personally and to that organization or entity).

CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT AND SERVICES

Except as set forth in the Dispute Resolution section, Ring is free to revise these Terms or any other part of this Agreement at any time by updating this page. If we make changes to these Terms that we consider material, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you by placing a notice on the ring.com website, notifying you through the Services, by sending you an email, or by some other means. By continuing to use the Products and Services after such changes, you are expressing your acknowledgement and acceptance of the changes. Please check these Terms periodically for updates.

We’re always trying to improve the Products and Services, so they may change over time. We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Services, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Products or Services. Similarly, we reserve the right to remove any Content from the Services at any time, for any reason, in our sole discretion, and without notice. We may change any aspect of the Products or Services, including, without limitation, the applicable fees and/or features related to the Products or Services, at any time and for any reason in our sole discretion.

We are also free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of the Services or your account, for any reason in our discretion, including your breach of these Terms. We have the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

ACCESS AND USE; GUIDELINES FOR INSTALLATION AND USE

All right, title and interest in the Services and content provided through the Products and Services (including without limitation information, documents, logos, graphics, designs and images) are owned by Ring, its licensors, or designated third parties. Subject to these Terms, Ring grants you a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive right to access and make personal and non-commercial use of the Products and Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, businesses may purchase Products and use the Services for their own internal, lawful business purposes (such as using Products on their business premises or enabling tenants to use the Products); however, this license does not include any right to resell Products or Services, or otherwise make the Products or Services available for third parties.

Privacy and other laws applicable in your jurisdiction may impose certain responsibilities on you and your use of the Products and Services. You agree that it is your responsibility, and not the responsibility of Ring, to ensure that you comply with any applicable laws when you use the Products and Services, including but not limited to:

(1) any laws or regulations relating to the recording or sharing of video or audio content,

(2) any laws or regulations requiring that notice be given to or that consent be obtained from third parties with respect to your use of the Products or Services (for example, laws or regulations requiring you to display appropriate signage advising others that audio/visual recording is taking place), and/or

(3) any laws or regulations requiring (a) that installation of any Product which takes visual and/or audio recordings be installed at such an angle that it does not take any recordings beyond the boundary of your property (including public pavements or roads); and (b) that, if you use your property as a workplace, you comply with laws governing the monitoring of employees.

If your use of the Services or any Products is prohibited by applicable laws, then you aren’t authorized to use the Services or Products. We can’t and won’t be responsible for your using the Services or any Products in a way that breaks the law.

You may be required to sign up for an account, and select a password and user name (“User ID”). You promise to provide us with accurate, complete, and updated registration information about yourself. You may not select as your User ID a name that you don’t have the right to use, or another person’s name with the intent to impersonate that person. Also, you will not share your account or password with anyone, and you must protect the security of your account and your password. You’re responsible for any activity associated with your account.

You represent, warrant, and agree that you will not capture or contribute any Content (as defined below) or otherwise use the Services or Products or interact with the Services or Products in a manner that:

A violation of any of the foregoing is grounds for termination of your right to use or access the Products and Services.

PRODUCTS FACILITATING ACCESS TO PROPERTY

Some Products facilitate access to a property. If you are installing one of these Products at a property owned, operated or managed by a third party or where other individuals live, work or are otherwise present (collectively, “Other Parties”), you represent and warrant to us that you have notified those Other Parties, to the extent required by law, and obtained all approvals, permissions, consents and authorizations, if and as required from such Other Parties, for installation and operation of the Product at the installation location, use of the Product to facilitate individuals, including delivery drivers, to have unaccompanied access to the location for deliveries to you and others, and removal of the Product.

You further represent and warrant to us that the location where the Product is installed is safe for individuals who access the property, including those who access by using the Product, and that the installation of the Product at that location will not disrupt or negatively affect any other systems, locks, or other protections or infrastructure of the property.

TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS

Nothing on or in the Products or Services shall be construed as conferring any license under any intellectual property right, including any right in the nature of trademark or copyright, of Ring or any third party, whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise. All trademarks and trade names are the property of their respective owners.

Except as otherwise noted, Ring is the owner of all trademarks and service marks on or in the Products and Services, whether registered or not, including, without limitation, Ring, Ring Protect and Ring Neighbors. Ring expressly forbids the unauthorized use of its logos, trademarks or other graphics to create links. All registered trademarks are registered in the United States of America (and/or other applicable jurisdictions).


What if I see something on the Services that infringes my copyright?

You may have heard of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”), as it relates to online service providers, like Ring, being asked to remove material that allegedly violates someone’s copyright. We respect others’ intellectual property rights, and we reserve the right to delete or disable Content alleged to be infringing, and to terminate the accounts of repeat alleged infringers. To review the complete Copyright Dispute Policy and learn how to report potentially infringing content, click here. To learn more about the DMCA, click here.

CONTENT

You are solely responsible for all of your Content (including Content you share through the Ring Neighbors feature or application). “Content” means all audio, video, images, text, or other types of content captured by Products or provided to us (including content posted by you) in connection with the Services. You represent and warrant that:

(a) you own the intellectual property rights in Content posted by you or otherwise have the right to post the Content and grant the license set forth below, and (b) the posting and use of your Content on or through the Services does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights, intellectual property rights or any other rights of any person.

You hereby grant Ring and its licensees an unlimited, irrevocable, fee free and royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide right to use, distribute, store, delete, translate, copy, modify, display, and create derivative works from such Content that you share through Services including, without limitation, the Ring Neighbors feature or application, the Ring Community, or via a share link, for any purpose and in any media format. You shall not use, reproduce, modify, upload, publish, transmit, distribute, display, or otherwise exploit for any purposes whatsoever any Content: (i) not owned by you without the express prior written consent of the respective owners, and (ii) in any way that violates any third party right. Ring reserves the right, but shall not be obligated, to remove any Content from the Services at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. You agree that you will indemnify Ring for all claims and resulting from Content you share through Services, including, without limitation, the Ring Neighbors feature or application or Ring Community. If you see Content that you believe violates these Terms, please flag it in the mobile application or report it to us by emailing abuse@ring.com.

SUBSCRIPTION PLANS

When you choose to subscribe to a subscription-based plan for any Product or Service (each, a “Subscription Plan”), including without limitation, a Ring Home Plan, we will automatically receive for storage any video, photographic, and/or audio Content captured by your Products that are associated with your Subscription Plan (“Subscription Plan Recordings”). For more information on the Ring Subscription Plan, please see Ring Subscription Plans and Privacy.

PROMOTIONAL TRIAL AND SUBSCRIPTIONS

You may enjoy Subscription Plans in the following ways:

Promotional Trials. We sometimes offer certain customers various trial or other promotional subscriptions to Subscription Plans, which are subject to these Terms except as otherwise stated in the promotional offers. Trial subscribers may at any time choose not to continue to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period. If you do not enter into a paid subscription for a Subscription Plan before the end of your trial period, if any, your Subscription Plan Recordings will no longer be accessible.

Paid Monthly and Annual Subscriptions. When you first set up your Product through the Services, or at any time after you begin using your Product, you may enjoy the Subscription Plan by enrolling in an applicable monthly or annual paid Subscription Plan, which will continue until you or we cancel your subscription. These Subscription Plans entitle you to access the relevant plan benefits for each payment period until such subscription is cancelled. Your paid subscription will automatically commence: immediately, or on the first day following the end of your applicable trial period, if you purchased your subscription on ring.com.

UNLESS YOU NOTIFY US BEFORE A CHARGE THAT YOU WANT TO CANCEL OR DO NOT WANT TO AUTO RENEW, YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PLAN WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONTINUE AND YOU AUTHORIZE RING (WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW) TO COLLECT THE THEN-APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION FEES AND ANY TAXES FOR EACH SUCCESSIVE TERM, USING ANY PAYMENT METHOD WE HAVE ON RECORD FOR YOU.

Subscription fees are billed or charged on the first day of the applicable subscription period. If any payment is not received, is returned unpaid or if any credit card or similar transaction is rejected or denied, Ring reserves the right to cancel your Subscription Plan unless you provide us with a new payment method. If you provide us with a new payment method and are successfully charged before your subscription is cancelled, your new subscription period will be based on the original renewal date and not the date of the successful charge.

To the extent applicable, if you choose to pay by direct debit, you agree that we may take the charge as early as the first day of the applicable subscription period. If you enroll for a paid subscription on or after the expiry of your free trial, we may take the charge on the same day as you enroll. We will confirm the mandate by email once you have enrolled and will give you advance notice of future charges after the initial charge.

Cancellation of Subscription Services. For more information about canceling your monthly or annual Subscription Plan, please see Upgrading, Changing, or Canceling your Subscription Plan if you purchased your subscription on ring.com. After your cancellation, you will continue to enjoy access to your Subscription Plan benefits and your Subscription Plan Recordings until your subscription period ends. After such subscription period ends, your Subscription Plan Recordings will no longer be accessible to you.

Lifetime Plans. Certain Products are sold with a lifetime subscription plan (for example, the applicable Products sold in e& bundles). For more information on applicable devices and how a lifetime subscription plan works, including how to cancel the plan, see here and here.

RECORDINGS, CONTENT, AND PERMISSION FROM YOU

Ring does not claim ownership of your intellectual property rights in your Content. Other than the rights you grant to us under these Terms, you retain all rights you have in your Content.

However, by purchasing or using Products and Services, you give Ring the right, without any compensation or obligation to you, to access and use your Content for the limited purposes of providing Services to you, protecting you, improving Products and Services, developing new Products and Services, and as otherwise set forth in the Privacy Notice.

Additionally, by electing to publicly share your Content via the Services to other users or the general public, in addition to the license granted above, you give Ring the right, without any compensation or obligation to you, to access and use your Content and related location information for the purposes of publicly sharing such recordings and information with current and future users and allowing those users to comment on the Content.

In addition to the rights granted above, you also acknowledge and agree that Ring may access, use, preserve and/or disclose your Content to law enforcement authorities, government officials, and/or third parties, if legally required to do so or if we have a good faith belief that such access, use, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to:

(a) comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process or reasonable preservation request;

(b) enforce these Terms, including investigation of any potential violation thereof;

(c) detect, prevent or otherwise address security, fraud or technical issues; or

(d) protect the rights, property or safety of Ring, its users, a third party, or the public as required or permitted by law.

Deleted Content and Subscription Plan Recordings may be stored by Ring in order to comply with certain legal obligations and are not retrievable without a valid court order.

REFUNDS

Risk of Loss

Order Limits / End-User Customers Only

Ring reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any order and limit order quantity. Ring may also require additional qualifying information prior to accepting or processing any order.

If you send us such communications, you do so on a NON-CONFIDENTIAL BASIS, and we will have no obligation to keep such information secret, to refrain from using such information, or to compensate you for the receipt or use of such communications. Ring is free to use, for any purpose whatsoever, any communications, including but not limited to publishing, developing, manufacturing, and marketing Products or Services using such communications.

How the Monitoring Service Works

The “Monitoring Service” consists of the notification of you, and/or your emergency contacts of the receipt of any listed signal codes, as provided for herein. Notification to you and your emergency contacts may be made by one or more means, to include: calls to the telephone numbers (including via automated dialing systems), emails to the email addresses and text messages to the wireless devices you provide Ring for yourself and your emergency contacts.

So that the Monitoring Service can be performed, you must provide Ring with all the information it requests for you and your emergency contacts, and notify Ring immediately with any change to any of that information. You understand and agree that Ring will rely, and are entitled to rely, solely on the contact and other information you provide for yourself and your emergency contacts.

Upon receipt of a listed signal code from the Alarm Product, Ring will make reasonable efforts to notify you or your emergency contacts within a reasonable period of time in accordance with your instructions, the policies and procedures of the Monitoring Service. If you experience a life/safety, property risk, fire, flood, burglary, robbery, medical issue or other emergency event, and if you are able to do so safely, you should immediately contact the police, fire department, 999, 112, 911 or any other appropriate emergency response service.


Changes to the Monitoring Service

Ring may from time to time, in response to applicable law or otherwise, revise, replace, change, modify, discontinue or rescind certain policies or procedures relating to the Monitoring Service and the response to listed signal codes. Ring shall endeavor to provide you with notification pursuant to Section III of the Alarm Terms and Conditions of any such revisions, replacements, changes, modifications, discontinuance or rescission within a reasonable period of time either before or after they are effective.


False Alarm

In the event a fine, penalty or fee is assessed against you or Ring by any local government as a result of any false, excessive or other alarm condition or non-compliance with any local ordinance or standard intended to reduce false alarms and such condition or non-compliance is not caused by the negligence, breach of this Agreement or other wrongdoing of Ring, you agree to be solely responsible for payment and shall reimburse Ring for any such fines, penalty or fees.


Changes to the System Elements

PLEASE BE WARNED THAT IF YOU SWITCH OR CHANGE ANY OF YOUR SYSTEM ELEMENTS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION X OF THE ALARM TERMS AND CONDITIONS), THIS MAY LEAVE YOUR ALARM PRODUCT UNABLE TO TRANSMIT SIGNALS AND, THEREFORE, THE MONITORING SERVICE WILL NOT WORK. It is your sole duty to assure that your System Elements are at all times compatible with your Alarm Product and Monitoring Service, and properly functioning.


Force Majeure

The obligation to provide the Monitoring Services shall immediately be suspended, without prior notice, in the event of any of the following: (i) the telephone lines, network or equipment, other communications equipment, software destroyed, damaged, or inoperable for any reason whatsoever; or (ii) any war whether declared or undeclared, fire, flood, extreme weather, accident, explosion, act of terrorism, governmental orders, regulations, restrictions or priorities, strike, lockout or other labor troubles, or any other cause for the duration of the interrupted service.

You acknowledge that the Alarm Services and Monitoring Service may not work as described when the requirements and compatibility have not been met. If you change any of the required System Elements, it is your sole duty and responsibility to be sure they are compatible and properly configured to work with your Alarm Product and Alarm Services. If Ring receives notice that you failed to maintain the required System Elements, Ring may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate the Alarm Services or Monitoring Service in accordance with Section XI of the Alarm Terms and Conditions. Also, the Monitoring Service only includes a wireless data service that serves as backup during any outage of your broadband internet access (the “Back-Up Wireless Data Service”). For the Back-Up Wireless Data Service to work, your Registered Address must be located within the coverage area of the applicable carrier for the Back-Up Wireless Data Service, and it is your sole responsibility to assure that your Registered Address is so located within the applicable service coverage area. Your Alarm Product may contain a SIM card. You agree not to use the SIM card except in your Alarm Product. Any violation of the restrictions on the use of the SIM card may, in Ring’s sole discretion, result in the termination of the Alarm Services or Monitoring Service in accordance with Section XI hereof.

In addition, if Ring detects unauthorized or excessive use of the Alarm Services or Monitoring Service or SIM card, you agree to reimburse Ring for all the data usage associated with the unauthorized or excessive use. You hereby expressly authorize Ring to charge the payment card associated with your account for all related unauthorized or excessive data charges.

You understand and agree that Ring is not responsible for the operation or non-operation of any of your System Elements or Back-Up Wireless Data Service.

Service Problems may result in an inability of your Alarm Product to send listed signal codes and, in such event, the Monitoring Service will be unavailable for the duration of the Service Problem. Further, Service Problems may result in the Alarm Service being unreliable or unavailable for the duration of the Service Problem. Neither Ring, nor any wireless data carrier is responsible or liable for any such Service Problems.
