Last Updated: February 14th, 2020
1. OVERVIEW
These Terms of Use, together with the Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions of Sale and Limited Warranty Statement, (collectively the “Terms”) govern your use of the Skydio, Inc., (“Skydio,” “we,” or “us”) website Skydio.com and any subdomains thereof (the “Website”), your Skydio product and accessories (“Product”), including the software in the product (“Product Software”), the performance of all services (which includes any software or research and development provided as a service) (“Services”) and any software applications that can be downloaded via your device (“Mobile Apps”) (collectively the “Offerings”). By using the Offerings, you are consenting to the Terms. The term “you” or “your” as used in the Terms means any person or entity who accesses the Website, creates an Account or utilizes the Products, including Owners and Authorized Users as defined below. In the event of a conflict between the Terms, these Terms of Use will control.
As described below, the Offerings may incorporate certain features allowing for software and other Updates to be implemented in the future. To the extent such Updates are added to or enabled for the Products, including automatic software Updates, they will automatically become part of the Offerings and will be subject to the Terms.
We may periodically modify the Terms. If we make significant changes to the Terms we will notify you via the Offerings (e.g., by providing notice via our Mobile Apps or email) indicating that the Terms have been changed. By continuing to use the Offerings you are consenting to the revised Terms. If you do not agree with the modifications, you must cease using the Offerings.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. VIEW THESE TERMS HERE.
2. ELIGIBILITY AND ACCOUNTS
The Products and Offerings are intended solely for users who own a Skydio Product or are Authorized Users of a Skydio Product and are not intended for resale. Any registration, use of the Products or access to the Offerings by anyone who is not so permitted is strictly prohibited and in violation of the Terms. By using the Products and Offerings, you represent to us that you are legally permitted to use the Product.
To use the Products and certain portions of the Offerings, you may be required to register and use a Skydio Account (“Account”) or be an Authorized User (see below) of the Account. If you are under the age of 18, you must have your parent or guardian create an account for you. By creating an Account, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older and are legally competent to enter into and agree to the Terms. If you are creating an Account for your child or custodial charge (“Minor”) you represent and warrant that such Minor is legally permitted to operate the Product, that you and such Minor understands these Terms and that you agree to ensure your Minor’s compliance with them. You agree that you are liable for any violations of the Terms by such Minor.
To create an Account, you will register your email address or phone number and confirm it by entering a code you receive. You must provide us with accurate, complete and updated registration information about yourself and the Minor for which you are creating an Account (if applicable). You may not use an email address or phone number that you do not have the right to use, or another person’s identity with the intent to impersonate that person. The individual who creates the Skydio Account is the “Owner.” If an Owner discloses their log-in credentials to another person or otherwise allows another person to access the Account, that individual is authorized by the Owner to utilize the Product and Offerings under that Owner’s Account. Such individual is an “Authorized User.” You (as the Owner of the Account) (i) will inform each Authorized User of the Terms, and (ii) represent and warrant that each such Authorized User understands the Terms and that you agree to ensure each such Authorized User’s compliance with the Terms. You (as the Owner of an Account) are responsible for all actions taken by Minors and Authorized Users and any other third parties related to your Account, including any violations of the Terms by such Minors, Authorized Users and third parties.
Accordingly, you must protect the security of your Account and only share these credentials with individuals that you trust to have such access.

Some of the Open Source Software is owned by third parties. The Open Source Software is not subject to the Terms.

None of the Submissions shall be subject to any obligation of confidence on our part, and we shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Submissions.

We are not liable or responsible if you violate any such law or regulation.
d. Warranty Disclaimer . ANY USE OF THE OFFERINGS, INCLUDING ANY RELIANCE UPON OR USE OF ANY OF THE INFORMATION THEREIN, SHALL BE AT YOUR AND YOUR AUTHORIZED USERS’ SOLE RISK. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT, THE OFFERINGS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND (ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED), WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU AND YOUR AUTHORIZED USERS HEREBY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, WHICH STATES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” YOU AND YOUR AUTHORIZED USERS HEREBY WAIVE ANY SIMILAR PROVISION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SKYDIO ALSO LIMITS THE DURATION OF ANY APPLICABLE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS TO THE DURATION SPECIFIED IN THE LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
e. Limitation of Liability IN NO EVENT SHALL SKYDIO OR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS OR INFORMATION PROVIDERS AND OTHER SUPPLIERS AND THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, AFFILIATES AND AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY, “SKYDIO PARTIES”) BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY USER FOR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, USE, OR DATA, IN EACH CASE ARISING UNDER ANY THEORY, INCLUDING UNDER WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF SUCH SKYDIO PARTY IS AWARE OF OR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
THE SKYDIO PARTIES’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH YOU IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS, IF ANY, YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACTION GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY OR (B) $100.
The foregoing limitations apply, even if the remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Please refer to the limited warranty statement for details on the warranty and limitation of liability for the product.
f. Indemnification. You agree to defend and indemnify the Skydio Parties from any claim or demand, including any and all losses, liabilities, claims, demands, damages, costs or expenses, causes of action, suits, proceedings, judgments, and awards, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, whether brought by third parties or otherwise, due to or arising out of your or your Authorized Users’ breach of the Terms and any use of the Offerings other than as expressly permitted in the Terms. The foregoing indemnity obligations will survive any termination of the Terms or your or your Authorized Users’ use of the Offerings. Skydio may, at its own expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, which will not excuse your indemnity obligations under this section. You agree not to settle any matter subject to the foregoing indemnification obligations without the express consent and approval of Skydio.
g. Termination and Suspension. We may terminate the Terms, or terminate, suspend or restrict your and your Authorized Users’ access to the Offerings if you or your Authorized Users violate any of the Terms. Upon termination or suspension, your and your Authorized Users’ right to access the Website and use the Offerings will immediately cease. We may discontinue, temporarily or permanently, all or part of the Offerings with or without notice. If you or your Authorized Users’ access to the Offerings is suspended or terminated by us, you and they agree that you and they will not attempt to access the Offerings by any alias or other disguised or fraudulent identity or otherwise without our express prior written approval.
h. Violations and Complaints. Without limiting Skydio’s rights or remedies under the Terms or at law or in equity, Skydio may investigate complaints related to your use of the Offerings and alleged violations of these Terms and take any action we deem necessary and appropriate in connection with such complaints and violations. Such action may include reporting any suspected activity that is in violation of these Terms or in violation of any law to law enforcement officials, regulators, or other third parties. In addition, we may disclose any information necessary or appropriate to such persons or entities, including personal information, relating to such complaints and violations. You and your Authorized Users agree that monetary damages may not provide a sufficient remedy to us for violations of the Terms and you and they consent to injunctive or other equitable relief for such violations.
i. General. You may not assign the Terms or otherwise transfer or sublicense any rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part; any attempt to do so shall be void. We may transfer, assign, or delegate the Terms and our rights and obligations without consent. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of the Terms to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Terms will continue in effect and remain fully enforceable. Skydio shall not be liable to you for a failure or delay in its performance of any of its obligations under the Terms to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by events such as fire, riot, flood, labor disputes, natural disaster, regulatory action, internet or telecommunications failures, terrorist acts, or other causes beyond Skydio’s reasonable control. Except as expressly stated herein, the Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Skydio with respect to the Offerings, and the Terms supersede and replace all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, understandings or agreements, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and Skydio with respect to the Offerings or the subject matter of these Terms. Any waiver of any provision of the Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by you and Skydio. Our failure to enforce our rights and remedies available to us with respect your breach of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such breach nor of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of these Terms.
j. Governing Law and Arbitration; No Class Actions. These Terms, and any claim, cause of action or dispute (“claim”) arising out of or related to these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California regardless of your country of origin or where you access the Offerings. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OR THE OFFERINGS WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, except for Skydio’s right to seek injunctive relief as set forth below.
If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with Skydio and you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to help@skydio.com within 30 days of the day you first access or use the Offerings.
If you intend to seek arbitration, you must first send written notice to Skydio’s Customer Service Center of your intent to arbitrate (“Notice”). The Notice to Skydio should be sent by any of the following means: (i) electronic mail to help@skydio.com; or (ii) sending the Notice by U.S. Postal Service certified mail to Skydio Inc., Attention: Legal, 114 Hazel Ave, Redwood City, CA 94061. The Notice must (x) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (y) set forth the specific relief sought; and (z) set forth your name, address and contact information. If we intend to seek arbitration against you, we will send any notice of dispute to you at the contact information we have for you.
The arbitration will be conducted before a single neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final and binding, and the arbitral proceedings will be governed by the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect, as modified by the Terms. The JAM’s rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this arbitration clause, but the arbitrator is bound by these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted in San Francisco, California, using the English language. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. For any claim where the potential award is reasonably likely to be $10,000 or less, either you or Skydio may elect to have the dispute resolved through non-appearance-based arbitration.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, YOU AND SKYDIO EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, YOU AND SKYDIO EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds the foregoing arbitration provisions invalid or inapplicable, you and Skydio agree that all claims arising out of or related to these Terms must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located San Mateo County, California, and you and Skydio each agree to submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all such claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, you agree that Skydio shall still be allowed to apply for and obtain injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any court of competent jurisdiction.
k. Notice and Contact. Any notices given by you under these Terms shall be given in writing or by email and shall be delivered to the following address:

If You use, download or install any Software, then You agree to be bound by the terms of this EULA, except to the extent any Software is the subject of a separate written agreement between Customer and Skydio that govern your use of such Software (“Pre-existing Agreement”).

a. a limited, perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as provided in Section 5 below titled “Transferability”) right and license to use the Base Software solely on Hardware;
b. a limited, perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable right and license to download, install, execute and use Mobile Apps on Authorized Devices solely to operate Hardware in accordance with this EULA;
c. if Customer purchases an Advanced Software Package for the use of an Advanced Software, as specified in the Order Form, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right and license, during the License Term of the Advanced Software Package, to use the Advanced Software on Hardware that Customer purchases from Skydio solely to operate the Hardware in accordance with this EULA (“Advanced Software License”); and
d. a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right and license to install solely on Hardware any Updates to the Onboard Software, if and when provided by Skydio.
3. Additional License Terms. The license rights of Section 2 are limited to the United States, Canada, and Japan.
a. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, the Advanced Software License is granted on a per-unit basis and it may only be exercised with respect to the specific units of Hardware identified on the applicable Order Form or, if the Order Form does not specify such units, then with respect to no more than the total number of Hardware units authorized on the Order Form, or if such total number of units is not specified on the Order Form, then only with respect to one (1) single Hardware unit (“Authorized Units”).
b. Rights under the Advanced Software License are not transferable between Authorized Units. When an Advanced Software License is exercised on a specific Authorized Unit (by unlocking, activating, accessing, or using the Advanced Software on that Authorized Unit), such Advanced Software License, or any rights thereof, cannot be transferred to a different unit of Hardware, except if Skydio replaces an Authorized Unit pursuant to a warranty claim, Skydio shall transfer to the replacement Authorized Unit, the Advanced Software License of the inoperable unit that is being replaced.
4. Limitations and Restrictions. The foregoing license grant excludes any right to, and Customer shall not (and shall not permit others to) do any of the following with respect to the Software: (i) license, sublicense, sell, resell, rent, lease, transfer, distribute, time share, operate as a service bureau, or otherwise make any of it available for access by third parties; (ii) disassemble, reverse engineer or decompile it; (iii) copy, create derivative works based on or otherwise modify it; (iv) remove or modify a copyright, trademark, logo or other proprietary rights notice or brand labeling in it; (v) use it to reproduce, distribute, display, transmit, or use material protected by copyright or other intellectual property right (including the rights of publicity or privacy) without first obtaining the permission of the owner; (vi) use it to create, use, send, store or run viruses or other harmful computer code, files, scripts, agents or other programs or otherwise engage, in a malicious act or disrupt its security, integrity or operation; (vii) install, execute or otherwise use or reproduce Onboard Software on any device other than the Hardware on which Skydio originally installed the Onboard Software except as otherwise expressly provided in this EULA; (viii) install any Software on any type of device not approved by Skydio; (ix) install, execute or otherwise use or reproduce Software other than as expressly permitted by this EULA and the applicable Order Form or other Proof of Entitlement, including without limitation using the Software in excess of limitations or restrictions specified in the applicable Order Form; (x) disable or otherwise circumvent any technological measures in Software to limit its installation, use or access;(xi) unlock, activate, access or use an Advanced Software on any device other than as permitted under an Advanced Software Package purchased by Customer; and (xii) publish or release any benchmarking or performance data applicable to the Software. Customer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Skydio against any damages, losses, liabilities, settlements, and expenses (including without limitation costs and attorneys’ fees) in connection with any claim or action that arises from an alleged violation of the foregoing restrictions.
5. Transferability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this EULA, Customer may transfer the Base Software, including any relevant Base Software license rights, only on a permanent basis and as part of the sale or transfer of the Hardware on which the Base Software is loaded, provided that Customer retains no copies of any version of the Software. With the exception of the Base Software, Customer may not transfer any other Software or other Software license rights granted herein to another person or entity without the express written permission of Skydio, unless allowed by applicable law stating that transfer may not be restricted.
6. Evaluation License. Skydio may make certain Software available in object code form to end users only for evaluation, training, or other limited non-commercial purposes without charging a Fee (“Evaluation License”). Where Skydio has provided an Evaluation License, all of the terms of this EULA shall apply except that (i) Customer’s license rights shall be limited to the evaluation of that Software, (ii) Customer shall not be required to pay a Fee for the evaluation of that Software and (iii) Skydio shall have the right to revoke the license to the Software at any time and for any reason.
7. Updates. The terms and conditions of this EULA shall apply to all Updates or additional copies of the Software. Subject to the terms and conditions of this EULA, including Customer’s timely payment of all Fees due and owed to Skydio, Skydio will provide or make available to Customer, during the Support Term, Updates for Base Software, Mobile Apps and any Advanced Software that was enabled under the purchased Advanced Software Package on the Authorized Units. Notwithstanding any other provision of this EULA, Customer has no license or right to use any Updates to the Advanced Software unless Customer holds a valid license to the Advanced Software and has paid any required Fees for such Advanced Software. Updates are solely provided on a “when-and-if-available” basis and as made generally available by Skydio to its customers. Customer shall promptly install any Updates that Skydio designates as required for the continued safe operation of Hardware or operation of any Advanced Software.
8. Proprietary Notices. Customer agrees to maintain and reproduce all copyright and other proprietary notices on all copies, in any form, of the Software in the same form and manner that such copyright and other proprietary notices are included on the Software.
9. Reservation of Rights. The Software and documentation are owned by Skydio and its licensors, and is protected by copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret laws of the United States and other jurisdictions, international conventions, and all other relevant intellectual property and proprietary rights, and under applicable laws. As between Customer and Skydio, the Software, including without limitation intellectual property rights therein and thereto, are the sole and exclusive property of Skydio or its subsidiaries or affiliated companies and/or its third-party licensors. All Software is licensed to Customer, not sold. Skydio reserves all rights not expressly granted in this EULA, and no rights or licenses shall be deemed or interpreted to be granted or transferred hereunder, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.
10. Fees. Skydio reserves the right to suspend and/or terminate access to the Software if any undisputed Fees are past due. Such suspension or termination shall not relieve Customer from its obligation to pay all undisputed amounts due under this Agreement.
11. Third Party Software and Open Source Software. The Software may include third party software, and open source software (“OSS”), and such software is provided under separate license terms.
a. To the extent the licenses for any OSS require Skydio to make available to Customer the corresponding source code included in the Software, Customer may obtain a copy of the applicable OSS source code by sending a written request to legal@skydio.com. The OSS license terms shall take precedence over this EULA to the extent that this EULA imposes greater restrictions on Customer than the applicable OSS license terms. Customer acknowledges receipt of notices for the Open Source Components for the initial delivery of the Software.
b. The use of third party software or applications, or the integration of such software or applications with the Software, (collectively, “Third Party Applications”), may result in Customer data or information being transferred to a third party. Skydio is not responsible for, and Customer agrees to hold Skydio harmless, for any data or information transferred to third parties in connection with your use of Third Party Applications.
12. Commercial Item. The Software and associated documentation are “commercial items” as defined at FAR 2.101 comprised of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as those terms are used in FAR 12.212. Consequently, regardless of whether Customer is United States Government or a department or agency thereof, Customer shall acquire only those rights with respect to the Software and associated documentation that are set forth in this EULA.
13. Terms Applicable To U.S. Federal Government Users. Skydio provides the Software for U.S. Federal Government end customers under this EULA with the following modifications: (i) as related to Government Customers, this Agreement shall be governed by Federal law, including questions of jurisdiction and venue; and (ii) any limitations of liability referenced herein shall be government to the extent permitted under Federal law. Government Customers shall indemnify Skydio relating to this Agreement only for actions and in amounts authorized by Federal law.
14. Term and Termination. This EULA is effective upon Software purchase, activation, or download, as applicable, and shall continue until terminated.
a. Paid License Term. Each Advanced Software Package purchased hereunder will have its own License Term. If Customer purchased a license to the Software, then the License Term applicable to an Advanced Software Package specified in Customer’s Proof of Entitlement is for the time period identified in such Proof of Entitlement, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this EULA. Except as otherwise stated in an Order Form, at the end of such initial term, and for each renewal term thereafter if any, subject payment of the then-current applicable license Fees for each such renewal term, this EULA will automatically renew for additional one-year successive renewal terms, unless either party gives notice of nonrenewal at least 30 days before the expiration of the then-current term. Unless Skydio terminates this EULA for breach by Customer, the perpetual licenses to use Base Software shall survive.
b. Free or Trial License Term. If you have obtained a license to a free version of the Software, then your license will continue until terminated in accordance with this EULA. If you have obtained a trial license to the Software, then your license will continue for such time period as may be specified by Skydio with respect to such trial (and if no period is specified, for 30 days). Skydio may terminate a trial license at any time at its sole discretion.
c. Termination. Skydio may terminate Customer’s license rights under this EULA immediately without notice if Customer fails to comply with any terms of this EULA or Customer fails to make any payment as required hereunder. In no event will termination relieve Customer of its obligation to pay any Fees payable to Skydio for the period prior to the effective date of termination. Upon termination or expiration of this EULA for any reason, Customer shall immediately cease using any Software and must destroy or return to Skydio all copies of the Software and associated documentation in its possession or control. The following sections shall survive the termination or expiration of this EULA: Sections 1, 2(a), 2(b), 2(d), 4, 5, and 7-25.

Skydio may discontinue the provision of any Software, support, or Updates in its sole discretion in accordance with, and any licenses granted herein are subject to, Skydio Product End of Life Policy, which is available at https://support.skydio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360057153714, and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

SKYDIO MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND THAT THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY PRODUCTS OR RESULTS OF THE USE THEREOF, WILL MEET YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON'S REQUIREMENTS, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, ACHIEVE ANY INTENDED RESULT, BE COMPATIBLE OR WORK WITH ANY OF YOUR OR ANY THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE, SYSTEM OR OTHER SERVICES, OR BE SECURE, ACCURATE, COMPLETE, FREE OF HARMFUL CODE OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY ERRORS OR DEFECTS CAN OR WILL BE CORRECTED. IN NO EVENT SHALL SKYDIO, BE LIABLE UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS. CUSTOMER ASSUMES ALL RISK FOR ANY DAMAGE OR INJURY THAT MAY RESULT FROM CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR ANY CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE USING THE SOFTWARE. CUSTOMER AGREES THAT CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE SOFTWARE IS AT CUSTOMER’S OWN RISK AND THAT CUSTOMER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OR LOSS OF DATA.

SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, THE SKYDIO PARTIES’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH CUSTOMER IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNTS PAID BY CUSTOMER UNDER THE ORDER FORM IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACTION GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY. The foregoing limitations apply, even if the remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
17. Indemnification. Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold Skydio, its affiliates, directors, employees, and representatives harmless against any liabilities, losses, damages, claims, demands, fees, expenses, and other costs of any kind or nature, including, without limitation, any attorney fees, expert fees, filing fees, judgments and settlement amounts associated therewith, as and when incurred, made by a third party and arising out of or related to: (i) Customer’s use of the Software in violation of this EULA, (ii) any violation by Customer or Customer’s employees, representatives or agents, of any applicable law or regulation, (iii) Customer’s violation of any third party right, including property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality or intellectual property right, or (iv) any breach or alleged breach of this EULA by Customer or any of Customer’s employees, representatives or agents, of any obligation, representation or warranty contained in this EULA.

20. Activation. Software may be programmed with technological measures to ensure that Customer’s use of Software and Hardware is authorized under this EULA. These technological measures include automatically communicating with Skydio via the Internet when the Software is in use to confirm that the license, pursuant to which the Software is activated, remains in effect and is being used in accordance with the terms of this EULA. IF, AT THAT TIME, THE LICENSE HAS EXPIRED OR TERMINATED OR HAS BEEN SUSPENDED, OR IF THE SOFTWARE IS USED IN VIOLATION OF THIS EULA, THEN THE SOFTWARE MAY DEACTIVATE AND WILL NOT OPERATE AND CUSTOMER MAY BE UNABLE TO USE THE SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE WHICH THE SOFTWARE CONTROLS. Skydio shall reactivate the Software promptly if and when the subject license is reinstated.
21. Reports and Audit. Customer agrees to monitor its use of the Software and maintain accurate, complete, and auditable records of its level of use.

Customer agrees that Skydio shall have the right, at Skydio’s expense, to audit Customer’s use of the Software on at least 30 business days’ advance notice, during Customer’s normal business hours and no more frequently than once every year, which audit shall not unreasonably interfere with Customer’s business.

Subject to the foregoing, this EULA shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. This EULA represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Software, and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements concerning the subject matter contained herein. The terms of any purchase order or similar document submitted by Customer to Skydio will have no effect. This EULA may only be modified, or any rights under it waived, by a written agreement executed by the party against which it asserted.

Terms of Use
1. OVERVIEW
These Terms of Use, together with the Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions of Sale and Limited Warranty Statement, (collectively the “Terms”) govern your use of the Skydio, Inc., (“Skydio,” “we,” or “us”) website Skydio.com and any subdomains thereof (the “Website”), your Skydio product and accessories (“Product”), including the software in the product (“Product Software”), and any software applications that can be downloaded via your device (“Mobile Apps”) (collectively the “Offerings”). By using the Offerings, you are consenting to the Terms. The term “you” or “your” as used in the Terms means any person or entity who accesses the Website, creates an Account or utilizes the Products, including Owners and Authorized Users as defined below. In the event of a conflict between the Terms, these Terms of Use will control.
As described below, the Offerings may incorporate certain features allowing for software and other Updates to be implemented in the future. To the extent such Updates are added to or enabled for the Products, including automatic software Updates, they will automatically become part of the Offerings and will be subject to the Terms.
We may periodically modify the Terms. If we make significant changes to the Terms we will notify you via the Offerings (e.g., by providing notice via our Mobile Apps or email) indicating that the Terms have been changed. By continuing to use the Offerings you are consenting to the revised Terms. If you do not agree with the modifications, you must cease using the Offerings.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. VIEW THESE TERMS HERE.
2. ELIGIBILITY AND ACCOUNTS
The Products and Offerings are intended solely for users who own a Skydio Product or are Authorized Users of a Skydio Product and are not intended for resale. Any registration, use of the Products or access to the Offerings by anyone who is not so permitted is strictly prohibited and in violation of the Terms. By using the Products and Offerings, you represent to us that you are legally permitted to use the Product.
To use the Products and certain portions of the Offerings, you may be required to register and use a Skydio Account (“Account”) or be an Authorized User (see below) of the Account. If you are under the age of 18, you must have your parent or guardian create an account for you. By creating an Account, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older and are legally competent to enter into and agree to the Terms. If you are creating an Account for your child or custodial charge (“Minor”) you represent and warrant that such Minor is legally permitted to operate the Product, that you and such Minor understands these Terms and that you agree to ensure your Minor’s compliance with them. You agree that you are liable for any violations of the Terms by such Minor.
To create an Account, you will register your email address or phone number and confirm it by entering a code you receive. You must provide us with accurate, complete and updated registration information about yourself and the Minor for which you are creating an Account (if applicable). You may not use an email address or phone number that you do not have the right to use, or another person’s identity with the intent to impersonate that person. The individual who creates the Skydio Account is the “Owner.” If an Owner discloses their log-in credentials to another person or otherwise allows another person to access the Account, that individual is authorized by the Owner to utilize the Product and Offerings under that Owner’s Account. Such individual is an “Authorized User.” You (as the Owner of the Account) (i) will inform each Authorized User of the Terms, and (ii) represent and warrant that each such Authorized User understands the Terms and that you agree to ensure each such Authorized User’s compliance with the Terms. You (as the Owner of an Account) are responsible for all actions taken by Minors and Authorized Users and any other third parties related to your Account, including any violations of the Terms by such Minors, Authorized Users and third parties.
Accordingly, you must protect the security of your Account and only share these credentials with individuals that you trust to have such access.

None of the Submissions shall be subject to any obligation of confidence on our part, and we shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Submissions.

We are not liable or responsible if you violate any such law or regulation.
d. Warranty Disclaimer . ANY USE OF THE OFFERINGS, INCLUDING ANY RELIANCE UPON OR USE OF ANY OF THE INFORMATION THEREIN, SHALL BE AT YOUR AND YOUR AUTHORIZED USERS’ SOLE RISK. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT, THE OFFERINGS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND (ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED), WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU AND YOUR AUTHORIZED USERS HEREBY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, WHICH STATES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” YOU AND YOUR AUTHORIZED USERS HEREBY WAIVE ANY SIMILAR PROVISION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SKYDIO ALSO LIMITS THE DURATION OF ANY APPLICABLE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS TO THE DURATION SPECIFIED IN THE LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
e. Limitation of Liability IN NO EVENT SHALL SKYDIO OR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS OR INFORMATION PROVIDERS AND OTHER SUPPLIERS AND THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, AFFILIATES AND AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY, “SKYDIO PARTIES”) BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY USER FOR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, USE, OR DATA, IN EACH CASE ARISING UNDER ANY THEORY, INCLUDING UNDER WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF SUCH SKYDIO PARTY IS AWARE OF OR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
THE SKYDIO PARTIES’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH YOU IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS, IF ANY, YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE ACTION GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY OR (B) $100.
The foregoing limitations apply, even if the remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Please refer to the limited warranty statement for details on the warranty and limitation of liability for the product.
f. Indemnification. You agree to defend and indemnify the Skydio Parties from any claim or demand, including any and all losses, liabilities, claims, demands, damages, costs or expenses, causes of action, suits, proceedings, judgments, and awards, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, whether brought by third parties or otherwise, due to or arising out of your or your Authorized Users’ breach of the Terms and any use of the Offerings other than as expressly permitted in the Terms. The foregoing indemnity obligations will survive any termination of the Terms or your or your Authorized Users’ use of the Offerings. Skydio may, at its own expense, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, which will not excuse your indemnity obligations under this section. You agree not to settle any matter subject to the foregoing indemnification obligations without the express consent and approval of Skydio.
g. Termination and Suspension. We may terminate the Terms, or terminate, suspend or restrict your and your Authorized Users’ access to the Offerings if you or your Authorized Users violate any of the Terms. Upon termination or suspension, your and your Authorized Users’ right to access the Website and use the Offerings will immediately cease. We may discontinue, temporarily or permanently, all or part of the Offerings with or without notice. If you or your Authorized Users’ access to the Offerings is suspended or terminated by us, you and they agree that you and they will not attempt to access the Offerings by any alias or other disguised or fraudulent identity or otherwise without our express prior written approval.
h. Violations and Complaints. Without limiting Skydio’s rights or remedies under the Terms or at law or in equity, Skydio may investigate complaints related to your use of the Offerings and alleged violations of these Terms and take any action we deem necessary and appropriate in connection with such complaints and violations. Such action may include reporting any suspected activity that is in violation of these Terms or in violation of any law to law enforcement officials, regulators, or other third parties. In addition, we may disclose any information necessary or appropriate to such persons or entities, including personal information, relating to such complaints and violations. You and your Authorized Users agree that monetary damages may not provide a sufficient remedy to us for violations of the Terms and you and they consent to injunctive or other equitable relief for such violations.
i. General. You may not assign the Terms or otherwise transfer or sublicense any rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part; any attempt to do so shall be void. We may transfer, assign, or delegate the Terms and our rights and obligations without consent. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of the Terms to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Terms will continue in effect and remain fully enforceable. Skydio shall not be liable to you for a failure or delay in its performance of any of its obligations under the Terms to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by events such as fire, riot, flood, labor disputes, natural disaster, regulatory action, internet or telecommunications failures, terrorist acts, or other causes beyond Skydio’s reasonable control. Except as expressly stated herein, the Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Skydio with respect to the Offerings, and the Terms supersede and replace all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, understandings or agreements, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and Skydio with respect to the Offerings or the subject matter of these Terms. Any waiver of any provision of the Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by you and Skydio. Our failure to enforce our rights and remedies available to us with respect your breach of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such breach nor of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of these Terms.
j. Governing Law and Arbitration; No Class Actions. These Terms, and any claim, cause of action or dispute (“claim”) arising out of or related to these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California regardless of your country of origin or where you access the Offerings. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OR THE OFFERINGS WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, except for Skydio’s right to seek injunctive relief as set forth below.
If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with Skydio and you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to help@skydio.com within 30 days of the day you first access or use the Offerings.
If you intend to seek arbitration, you must first send written notice to Skydio’s Customer Service Center of your intent to arbitrate ("Notice”). The Notice to Skydio should be sent by any of the following means: (i) electronic mail to help@skydio.com; or (ii) sending the Notice by U.S. Postal Service certified mail to Skydio Inc., Attention: Legal, 114 Hazel Ave, Redwood City, CA 94061. The Notice must (x) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (y) set forth the specific relief sought; and (z) set forth your name, address and contact information. If we intend to seek arbitration against you, we will send any notice of dispute to you at the contact information we have for you.
The arbitration will be conducted before a single neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final and binding, and the arbitral proceedings will be governed by the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect, as modified by the Terms. The JAM's rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this arbitration clause, but the arbitrator is bound by these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted in San Francisco, California, using the English language. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. For any claim where the potential award is reasonably likely to be $10,000 or less, either you or Skydio may elect to have the dispute resolved through non-appearance-based arbitration.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, YOU AND SKYDIO EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, YOU AND SKYDIO EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds the foregoing arbitration provisions invalid or inapplicable, you and Skydio agree that all claims arising out of or related to these Terms must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located San Mateo County, California, and you and Skydio each agree to submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all such claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, you agree that Skydio shall still be allowed to apply for and obtain injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any court of competent jurisdiction.
k. Notice and Contact. Any notices given by you under these Terms shall be given in writing or by email and shall be delivered to the following address:
