Last updated on November 15, 2023 IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION AND A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION RIGHTS AS DETAILED IN THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION.

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, a class action waiver, and an arbitration provision, requiring you to arbitrate any claims you may have against Ring on an individual basis. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.

*If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not purchase or use 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, including, without limitation, the arbitration provision and class action waiver.

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:

Infringes or violates the intellectual property rights or any other rights of anyone else (including us);
Violates any law, ordinance, or regulation, including privacy and other laws referenced above and any applicable export control laws;
Is harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable;
Jeopardizes the security of your Ring LLC account or anyone else’s (such as allowing someone else to log in to the Services as you);
Attempts, in any manner, to obtain the password, account, or other security information from any other user;
Violates the security of any computer network, or cracks any passwords or security encryption codes;
Runs Maillist, Listserv, any form of auto-responder or “spam” on the Services, or any processes that run or are activated while you are not logged into the Services, or that otherwise interfere with the proper working of the Services (including by placing an unreasonable load on the Services’ infrastructure);
“Crawls,” “scrapes,” or “spiders” any page, data, or portion of or relating to the Services or Content (through use of manual or automated means);
Copies or stores any significant portion of the Content, except as permitted through intended use of a Product or Service feature; or
Violates the Ring Neighbors Community guidelines, which are hereby incorporated by reference.

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 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 Protect Plan, Extra Data Add-On, or Astro Secure, 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 Protect Plan, please see Ring Protect Subscription Plans and Privacy. For more information on Astro Secure, please view terms 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 enroll 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; or
the later of (i) when you attach the subscription to the Product in the Ring application, Ring website, or on amazon.com, or (ii) on the first day following the end of your applicable trial period if you attach the subscription to the Product while your applicable trial is active, if you purchased your subscription on amazon.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.

By purchasing Subscription Plans on amazon.com, you also agree to Amazon’s Conditions of Use and Privacy Notice.

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. If you purchased your subscription on amazon.com, you can cancel or adjust your subscription settings in Your Memberships & Subscriptions within your Amazon.com account. 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 X Line 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.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Mandatory, Bilateral Arbitration and Waiver of Class Actions

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

YOU AND RING AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND/OR PRODUCTS, TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR TO THE CONTENT, ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN US AND/OR ANY RECORDING ON THE SERVICES AND/OR PRODUCTS SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY FINAL AND BINDING, BILATERAL ARBITRATION, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court in your county of residence within the United States if your claims qualify; and (2) this agreement to arbitrate does not include your or Ring’s right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in state or federal court in Los Angeles County California to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. The Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement and govern all questions as to whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. An arbitrator, however, can award the same damages and relief as a court (including private or public injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms.

“Disputes” shall include, but are not limited to, any claims or controversies between you and Ring against each other related in any way to or arising out of in any way from this Agreement, the Services, the Products, and/or the Content, including but not limited to sales, returns, refunds, cancellations, defects, policies, privacy, advertising, or any communications between you and Ring, even if the claim arises after you or Ring has terminated Services or a user account. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, claims that: (a) you bring against our employees, agents, affiliates, or other representatives; or (b) Ring brings against you. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, (i) claims in any way related to or arising out of any aspect of the relationship between you and Ring, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising claims, or any other legal theory; (ii) claims that arose before these Terms or out of a prior set of Terms with Ring; (iii) claims that are subject to on-going litigation where you are not a party or a class member; and/or (iv) claims that arise after the termination of these Terms.

Dispute Notice

Before initiating an arbitration, you and Ring each agree to first provide the other a written notice (“Notice of Dispute”), which shall contain: (a) a written description of the problem and relevant documents and supporting information; and (b) a statement of the specific relief sought. A Notice of Dispute should be sent to: 12515 Cerise Ave, Hawthorne, CA 90250, Attention: Legal Department. We will provide a Notice of Dispute to you via the email address associated with your Ring account. You and Ring agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute prior to commencing an arbitration and not to commence an arbitration proceeding until a forty-five (45) day post-notice resolution period expires.

*Arbitration Process and Procedure *

If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within forty-five (45) days from the original Dispute Notice, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to these terms. Arbitration shall (1) be administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures then in effect (the “JAMS Rules”) and as modified by this agreement to arbitrate, including the rules regarding filing, administration, discovery, and arbitrator fees; (2) be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator; and (3) take place in the county where you reside or any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you. To the extent that this agreement to arbitrate conflicts with the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards for Procedural Fairness (the “Minimum Standards”), the Minimum Standards in that regard will apply.

WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. Further, unless both you and Ring expressly agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a particular claim or demand for relief (e.g., public injunctive relief), then that claim or demand (and only that claim or demand) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive our right to a jury trial.

YOU THEREFORE UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND RING ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION FOR ANY CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

The JAMS Rules are available on its website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. Notwithstanding any JAMS Rules to the contrary or any other provision in the arbitration rules chosen, by agreement, to govern, you and Ring each agree that all issues regarding the Dispute are delegated to the arbitrator to decide. Further, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim or demand for relief is subject to arbitration or should be severed. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Hearing

If your claim does not exceed $10,000 (USD), you and Ring agree to waive an oral hearing by the arbitrator and the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Ring submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. To the extent an oral hearing is requested by you or Ring, or deemed necessary by the arbitrator, you and Ring agree that the hearing will be conducted telephonically or videographically.

Arbitrator’s Decision

An arbitrator’s award will be a written statement of the disposition of each claim and will also provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions which form the basis of the award. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with some limited court review under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

*Fees *

It is each parties’ responsibility to pay any JAMS filing, case management/administrative, and arbitrator fees as set forth in the JAMS Rules. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Ring will pay the additional cost. If your claim for damages does not exceed $25,000 (USD) and you follow the dispute notice procedure set forth above, Ring will reimburse your filing fees at the conclusion of the arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your Dispute or the relief sought was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

*Small Claims & Government Actions *

As an alternative to arbitration, you or Ring may resolve Disputes in a small claims court that has jurisdiction over your claim. These Terms and this arbitration agreement do not prevent you from bringing your Dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agency. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against Ring on your behalf.

SEVERABILITY AND SURVIVAL

If any provision of these Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from the remaining terms of use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership of intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us.

THE MONITORING SERVICE WILL BEGIN ONLY AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE INITIAL TEST PERIOD. YOU THEREFORE UNDERSTAND THAT THE MONITORING STATION WILL NOT RESPOND OR DISPATCH ANY EMERGENCY RESPONDER TO ANY SIGNAL RECEIVED FROM YOUR ALARM PRODUCT BEFORE THE COMPLETION OF THE INITIAL TEST PERIOD, EVEN IF THE EVENT OF AN ACTUAL EMERGENCY.

g. How the Monitoring Service Works

The Monitoring Service consists of (a) continuously (i.e., 24 hours a day, seven days a week) monitoring the Alarm Product for purposes of receipt by the Monitoring Station of any listed signal codes from the Alarm Product, and (b) the notification of you, and/or your emergency contacts and/or emergency responders of the receipt of any such listed signal codes by the Monitoring Station, 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, 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 and/or the Monitoring Station requests for you and your emergency contacts, and notify Ring immediately with any change to any of that information. You agree that any person that you have designated as an emergency contact is authorized to act on your behalf, and has the authority to verify or cancel a listed signal code received by the Monitoring Station prior to, or after, the notification of emergency responders. You understand and agree that Ring and the Monitoring Station 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, the Monitoring Station will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify you, your emergency contacts and/or emergency responders within a commercially reasonable period of time in accordance with your instructions, the policies and procedures of the Monitoring Station, and any applicable municipal, local or state/provincial law, code or ordinance. In the case of notification to you, if emergency responders have not already been notified by the Monitoring Station, and the response from you indicates notification to emergency responders is appropriate or required, the Monitoring Station will then make commercially reasonable efforts to notify emergency responders. In the case of notification to your emergency contacts, (a) if there is no response from such first contact, and the Monitoring Station has been provided a second contact by you, it will then make commercially reasonable efforts to notify such second contact, and (b) if emergency responders have not already been notified by the Monitoring Station, and the response from your first or second emergency contact indicates notification to emergency responders is appropriate or required, the Monitoring Station will then make commercially reasonable efforts to notify emergency responders (hereinafter the “Notification Protocol”). In the case of notification to your emergency contacts, the Notification Protocol shall be satisfied upon receipt by the Monitoring Station of verbal confirmation of notification from an emergency contact, or by leaving a message with such emergency contact on a telephone answering service, or any mechanical, electrical, electronic or other technology permitting the recording of voice or data communications. In the case of notification to emergency responders, the Notification Protocol shall be satisfied upon receipt by the Monitoring Station of verbal confirmation of notification to any person authorized to respond to such notification.

Ring and the Monitoring Station may be subject to applicable laws and industry standards designed to reduce false alarms, and these laws and standards may result in practices and procedures that delay either the notification of emergency responders, or other verification procedures in response to listed signal codes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, codes and ordinances, you agree that the Monitoring Station may, in its reasonable discretion, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, attempt to contact you and/or your emergency contacts to verify that a signal is not a false alarm before dispatching emergency responders. IF THE MONITORING STATION HAS REASON TO BELIEVE THAT NO EMERGENCY CONDITION EXISTS, IT MAY ELECT, IN ITS REASONABLE DISCRETION AND IF NOT OTHERWISE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CODES AND ORDINANCES, NOT TO DISPATCH EMERGENCY RESPONDERS AND/OR FOLLOW THE NOTIFICATION PROTOCOL.

If you experience a life/safety, property risk, fire, flood, burglary, robbery, medical issue or other emergency event, do not wait to be contacted by the Monitoring Station. Instead, if you are able to do so safely, you should immediately contact the police, fire department, 911 or appropriate emergency response service.

h. Changes to the Monitoring Service

Ring and the Monitoring Station 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 commercially reasonable period of time either before or after they are effective.

i. False Alarm

In the event a fine, penalty or fee is assessed against you or Ring or the Monitoring Station 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 not caused by the negligence or other wrongdoing of Ring or the Monitoring Station, you agree to be solely responsible for payment, and shall reimburse Ring and the Monitoring Station for any such fines, penalty or fees. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby expressly authorize Ring to charge the payment card associated with your Monitoring Service account the full amount of any such fine, penalty or fee. Please be warned that if your Alarm Product generates more than three (3) false alarm signals within a twenty-four (24) hour period, Ring and/or the Monitoring Station may, if not prohibited by applicable municipal, local or state/provincial law, code or ordinance, place your Alarm Product back in Initial Test Status, as defined above in IX.f of the Alarm Terms and Conditions. However, before placing the Alarm Product back in the Initial Test Status, Ring and/or the Monitoring Station will provide you with at least twenty-four (24) hours advance notification pursuant to Section III of the Alarm Terms and Conditions.

j. Changes to the System Elements

PLEASE BE WARNED THAT IF YOU SWITCH OR CHANGE ANY OF YOUR SYSTEM ELEMENTS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION XI OF THE ALARM TERMS AND CONDITIONS), THIS MAY LEAVE YOUR ALARM PRODUCT UNABLE TO TRANSMIT SIGNALS TO THE MONITORING STATION 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.

k. Use of Communications

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby consent to the Monitoring Station intercepting, recording, retrieving, reviewing, copying, disclosing and using, for purposes of providing the Monitoring Service, the contents of all telephone, video, wire, oral, electronic and other forms of transmission or communication to which you or your emergency contacts are parties.

l. Force Majeure

The obligation to provide the Monitoring Services shall immediately terminate, without prior notice, in the event of any of the following: (i) the telephone lines, network or equipment, other communications equipment, software, or physical facilities of the Monitoring Station are 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 disruptions, cyber attacks, civil disorder, natural disasters (including fires, floods, earthquakes, and severe weather), public health epidemics, destruction of network facilities or transportation infrastructure, or any other cause beyond the absolute control of the Monitoring Station for the duration of the interrupted service. Ring shall provide you with notice pursuant to Section III of the Alarm Terms and Conditions of such termination as soon as commercially reasonable following any such Force Majeure event.

m. Optional Private Guard Verification Service

To reduce the high costs of false alarms, your local jurisdiction may require that an alarm signal received by the Monitoring Station from your Alarm Product first be verified by a person physically at the Registered Address as an actual emergency before your local emergency responders (such as police and fire departments) may be dispatched, or will respond to a dispatch request, to your Registered Address (“Alarm Verification”). Generally, Alarm Verification may be provided by you or your emergency contacts when contacted by the Monitoring Station in response to an alarm signal received at the Monitoring Station from your Alarm Product. However, if you or your emergency contacts are unable to provide the Alarm Verification, or if otherwise required by your local jurisdiction, the Monitoring Station may be required, even in the event of an actual emergency, to first dispatch a local private security guard responder to your Registered Address to provide the Alarm Verification before attempting to dispatch emergency responders, or before emergency responders will respond to any dispatch request (“Private Guard Alarm Verification”). If you subscribe to the Monitoring Service, you will have the option of selecting the Private Guard Alarm Verification Service, and additional fees which you agree to pay shall apply. If you choose the Private Guard Alarm Verification Service (which is recommended by Ring), and if a private guard responder is dispatched to your Registered Address by the Monitoring Station for Private Guard Alarm Verification, you hereby authorize the private guard responder to access the exterior areas of the Registered Address (including, but not limited to, doors, windows, gates and all entry points) in an effort to provide the Private Guard Alarm Verification. You understand and agree that the private guard responder will not make entry into any interior areas of your Registered Address and may not jump or climb over fences, walls, gates, or any other physical barrier, or enter areas that are considered inaccessible due to a locked gate, animals present or other safety-related concerns. Further, you understand and agree that the private guard responder’s sole responsibility is to provide Private Guard Alarm Verification. The private guard responder is not an emergency responder and has no duty to provide any emergency or other assistance or aid (medical or otherwise), guard or personal protection services for you or your family members or others, otherwise confront or apprehend any intruder, or otherwise intervene with regard to the emergency in any manner whatsoever. Alarm Verification and the Private Guard Alarm Verification Service may cause delays in the dispatch and arrival of emergency responders to your Registered Address, even in the event of an actual emergency. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE AND HOLD RING, THE MONITORING STATION, AND ANY CONTRACTOR AND PRIVATE GUARD RESPONDER PROVIDING THE PRIVATE GUARD ALARM VERIFICATION SERVICE, HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST, ALL LIABILITY AND DAMAGES, INJURIES OR LOSS OF LIFE CAUSED BY ANY DELAY IN THE DISPATCH OR ARRIVAL OF EMERGENCY RESPONDERS.

IF YOU DO NOT CHOOSE THE PRIVATE GUARD ALARM VERIFICATION SERVICE (WHICH IS NOT RECOMMENDED, AS RING RECOMMENDS YOU CHOOSE THE PRIVATE GUARD ALARM VERIFICATION SERVICE), YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT IF YOU OR YOUR EMERGENCY CONTACTS ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ALARM VERIFICATION OR IF PRIVATE GUARD ALARM VERIFICATION IS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY YOUR LOCAL JURISDICTION, THE MONITORING STATION MAY BE UNABLE, EVEN IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTUAL EMERGENCY, TO DISPATCH EMERGENCY RESPONDERS TO YOUR REGISTERED ADDRESS, OR EMERGENCY RESPONDERS MAY NOT RESPOND, MAY DELAY IN RESPONDING, OR MAY REFUSE TO RESPOND, TO ANY DISPATCH REQUEST. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU DO NOT CHOOSE THE PRIVATE GUARD ALARM VERIFICATION SERVICE, YOU HEREBY RELEASE AND HOLD RING AND THE MONITORING STATION HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST, ALL LIABILITY AND DAMAGES, INJURIES OR LOSS OF LIFE CAUSED BY ANY DELAY IN THE DISPATCH OR ARRIVAL OF EMERGENCY RESPONDERS, THE FAILURE OR REFUSAL OF EMERGENCY RESPONDERS TO RESPOND, OR ANY DELAY BY FIRST RESPONDERS IN SO RESPONDING, TO ANY DISPATCH REQUEST TO YOUR REGISTERED ADDRESS, EVEN IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTUAL EMERGENCY.

X. MONITORING SERVICE AFTER FREE TRIAL PERIOD.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT IF YOU DO NOT ENTER INTO A PAID SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE MONITORING SERVICE BEFORE THE END OF YOUR FREE TRIAL PERIOD (IF APPLICABLE), THEN YOUR MONITORING SERVICE WILL STOP AT THE END OF YOUR FREE TRIAL PERIOD (IF APPLICABLE). YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT ONCE THE MONITORING SERVICE STOPS, YOUR ALARM PRODUCT WILL NO LONGER SEND ALARM SIGNALS TO THE MONITORING STATION FOR MONITORING SERVICES.

XI. BROADBAND INTERNET ACCESS/BACKUP WIRELESS DATA SERVICE.

The Alarm Services and Monitoring Service will not work or be accessible without: (i) a working wifi network at your Registered Address that is positioned to communicate reliably with your Alarm Product; (ii) an active, current and properly completed account with Ring; (iii) an enabled and supported wireless device; and (iv) always-on broadband internet access at your Registered Address with bandwidth sufficient to support your Alarm Product (collectively, the or your “System Elements”). It is your responsibility to ensure that you have all required System Elements and that they are compatible and properly configured with your Alarm Product. 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 XIII of the Alarm Terms and Conditions. Also, the Monitoring Service includes a wireless data service that solely serves as alarm connectivity backup during any outage of your broadband internet access (the alarm connectivity backup, solely, is referred to herein as “Back-Up Wireless Data Service”, and is a separate service from Internet Services). For the Back-Up Wireless Data Service to work, your Registered Address must be located within the coverage area of the applicable carrier in North America 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. 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 XIII 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 neither Ring nor the Monitoring Station are responsible for the operation or non-operation of any of your System Elements or Back-Up Wireless Data Service. You acknowledge and agree that the System Elements and Back-Up Wireless Data Service are not error-free and may be interrupted, delayed, refused, or otherwise limited for a variety of reasons, including insufficient coverage, power outages, termination of service and access, environmental conditions, interference, non-payment of applicable fees and charges, unavailability of radio frequency channels, system capacity, upgrades, repairs or relocations, and priority access by emergency responders in the event of a disaster or emergency (“Service Problem(s)”). Service Problems may result in an inability of your Alarm Product to send listed signal codes to the Monitoring Station 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, the Monitoring Station, nor any wireless data carrier is responsible or liable for any such Service Problems.

SPECIFICALLY, REGARDING THE BACK-UP WIRELESS DATA SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BACK-UP WIRELESS DATA SERVICE IS MADE AVAILABLE ONLY WITHIN THE OPERATING RANGE OF THE NETWORKS. THE BACK-UP WIRELESS DATA SERVICE MAY BE TEMPORARILY REFUSED, INTERRUPTED, OR LIMITED BECAUSE OF: (A) FACILITIES LIMITATIONS; (B) TRANSMISSION LIMITATIONS CAUSED BY ATMOSPHERIC, TERRAIN, OTHER NATURAL OR ARTIFICIAL CONDITIONS ADVERSELY AFFECTING TRANSMISSION, WEAK BATTERIES, SYSTEM OVERCAPACITY, MOVEMENT OUTSIDE A SERVICE AREA OR GAPS IN COVERAGE IN A SERVICE AREA AND OTHER CAUSES REASONABLY OUTSIDE OF THE WIRELESS DATA CARRIER’S CONTROL SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, INTENTIONAL OR NEGLIGENT ACTS OF THIRD PARTIES THAT DAMAGE OR IMPAIR THE NETWORK OR DISRUPT SERVICE; OR (C) EQUIPMENT MODIFICATIONS, UPGRADES, RELOCATIONS, REPAIRS, AND OTHER SIMILAR ACTIVITIES NECESSARY FOR THE PROPER OR IMPROVED OPERATION OF SERVICE. CARRIER PARTNER NETWORKS ARE MADE AVAILABLE AS-IS. RING AND THE WIRELESS DATA CARRIER MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OR QUALITY OF ROAMING SERVICE PROVIDED BY CARRIER PARTNERS AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE IN ANY CAPACITY FOR ANY ERRORS, OUTAGES, OR FAILURES OF CARRIER PARTNER NETWORKS.
