The Oculus for Business solution is available with your purchase of an enterprise edition Oculus Quest. Oculus for Business on Oculus Quest offers a secure and reliable virtual reality (VR) solution for enterprise customers. The offering includes:

• the ability to use the Oculus Quest for commercial purposes in your Commercial Organization (as defined here);
• a one-year license for enterprise software (with the option to renew) that you can use to set up and manage VR devices and to create a tailored in-headset experience;
• enhanced data security for the duration of your license*;
• enterprise grade 24-month warranty (for more details, see here); and
• enterprise grade 24-month customer support (for more details, see here).

*Your enterprise software is subject to the enterprise privacy disclosure at https://business.oculus.com/legal/enterprise-privacy-disclosure/. If you do not renew your enterprise software license following its expiration, you will revert to consumer edition software subject to the consumer privacy policy found here.

As we’ve been developing and testing the platform based on key use cases for enterprise customers, it’s become clear that Oculus Quest, with its high-end graphics and fully immersive capabilities, is the best solution for most business VR needs. You can purchase the enterprise edition of both Oculus Rift S and Oculus Go for commercial use. However, the Oculus for Business solution, including the enterprise software, enterprise warranty and enterprise support, is not available for either the Oculus Rift S or Oculus Go. If you purchase enterprise edition Oculus Rift S or Oculus Go, you will get:

• the ability to use the Oculus Rift S or Oculus Go for commercial purposes in your Commercial Organization (as defined here);
• consumer edition software**;
• the consumer warranty (for more details, see here); and
• consumer support (for more details, see here).

**Your Oculus for Business Oculus Rift S or Go is subject to the consumer privacy policy found here.

There are no hardware differences between consumer edition and enterprise edition devices. However, consumer edition devices are subject to the consumer Terms of Service (https://www.oculus.com/legal/terms-of-service/) which grant a right to use the software solely for personal and noncommercial purposes, while the enterprise edition devices are subject to the Enterprise Use Agreement (https://business.oculus.com/legal/enterprise-use-agreement/) which grant a right to use the applicable software for commercial purposes in your Commercial Organization. Further, the enterprise edition Oculus Quest is enabled for our end-to-end Oculus for Business solution described here).

The Oculus for Business solution is designed for:

• businesses that are planning to deploy a VR solution at scale to their employees with internally developed VR content or third-party developer VR content not obtained via the Oculus Store, and who plan to manage their own fleet of devices;
• businesses that are planning to deploy a VR solution at scale to consumers (including demos and VR experiences) under the business’s direct supervision and management. Devices used in this model are managed directly by the business and are not for end users to take home; and
• developers who are testing their application to deploy through Oculus for Business. This is only for testing purposes. Developers should not manage deployments on behalf of enterprise customers.

The Oculus for Business solution is NOT intended or permitted for:

• businesses that manage, rent or lease deployments on behalf of customers without personnel present at all times to administer and supervise the use of the devices (see here);
• businesses that want to deploy VR content to their employees with consumer apps delivered via the Oculus store; or
• business to consumer use cases where consumers expect to keep or take the devices home.

Keeping people safe in virtual reality is our top priority. Oculus has provided comprehensive warnings about our products since they were launched, and this now includes Oculus Quest. The warnings advise that our VR products should not be used by children under the age of 13 because online safety experts have landed on 13 as a marker for social online activity generally. We will continue to look at how people use Oculus and how the product develops in making decisions about our product policies.

You may not bypass or override the Oculus Device Manager Mobile Application, web application, or platform services. This includes creating a custom application launcher in kiosk mode that gives users access to multiple applications without returning to the Oculus homepage or creating proprietary interfaces, application programming interfaces, or a third-party application store or marketplace. The only exception to this restriction is that up to 10 of your devices may be in developer mode at any time, which may allow you to bypass certain Oculus platform services if used in accordance with the applicable requirements of developer mode.

Mass provisioning is only available for devices that are running the Oculus for Business enterprise software.

Devices running the consumer software will only have the option to side-load content.

Corporate VR solutions must have a strong security foundation. That’s why we built the Oculus for Business enterprise software solution on the world-class security infrastructure and privacy practices of Workplace by Facebook. This includes strong data center security, 24/7 threat monitoring, layers of encryption, and advanced technologies like machine learning. We’ve also adopted Workplace policies for giving organizations control and ownership of their VR application data. Your Oculus for Business admin will need a Workplace account to administer your Oculus for Business enterprise software solution.

It depends. The enterprise software runs on the premium version of Workplace. If you have the free version, we will upgrade you, at no cost, to the premium version. If you already have the premium version, then you will need to have your company’s Workplace admin turn on permissions for your Oculus for Business admin.

No, you will only need accounts for your admins, but not for each headset. The Oculus for Business admin may be a different person from your Workplace admin.
