PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING "I AGREE" BELOW OR BY INSTALLING, ACCESSING OR USING ANY PRODUCT YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE, INCLUDING ALL APPLICABLE POLICIES AND THIRD PARTY TERMS INCORPORATED THROUGHOUT. IF YOU ACCEPT ON BEHALF OF A BUSINESS OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO BIND THAT LEGAL ENTITY TO THESE TERMS OF USE AND "YOU" WILL REFER TO THAT LEGAL ENTITY.
If you accept these Terms of Use solely as a third party Product Administrator (not as a Content Owner), you represent and warrant that you have the full authority needed to agree to these Terms of Use with respect to access, use and support of the Product and Content for the Content Owner.
If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you may not register, access or use the Datto Product.
Capitalized words are defined in the last section or when first used throughout these Terms of Use.

If your use of the Product involves the use of backup agent software, you hereby agree to the terms of all applicable Agent Software Licenses.
2. Ongoing Payment Requirement. The continued right to use a Product requires that it be enrolled in a Service Subscription and we continue to receive payment with respect to such use. If a Product is not properly registered in a current paid Service Subscription we have no obligation to allow access to or use of the Product, nor to provide any related Services.
3. Limited Rights. Datto Software is licensed, not sold. Except for the limited rights granted in these Terms of Use, we and our licensors retain all right, title, interest and Intellectual Property Rights in Datto Software and Services, and all copies thereof. The Products contain material that is protected by copyright, patent and trade secret law of jurisdictions throughout the world, and by international treaty provisions. All Intellectual Property Rights and other rights in and to Products not expressly granted under these Terms of Use are expressly reserved by us and our licensors.
4. Third Party Technology. Certain Products may involve or allow the use of third party technology, the use of which is subject to such third parties’ license terms. These terms are located under the heading "Third Party License Terms" on the Online Portal. You agree that your use of a Product is deemed your express consent to all such applicable Third Party License Terms. As to all such third party technology: (i) it is provided by us on an "AS IS" basis, without warranty of any kind and (ii) we will not be liable for damages of any kind, including direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, nor will we indemnify you for any claims related to any third party technology. Except as may be provided in the Third Party Terms, or in any separate agreement between you and the provider of the applicable third party technology, your sole and exclusive remedy with regard to any defect, claim, or other dispute relating to the third party technology is to cease its use.
5. Beta Products. We may designate enhancements to a Product or a new Product as "Beta Product."

Use of any Beta Product is otherwise subject to these Terms of Use. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE TERMS OF USE, ALL BETA PRODUCT IS PROVIDED "AS-IS" AND "AS-AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. You hereby waive any and all claims, now known or later discovered, that you may have against us and our suppliers and licensors arising out of your use of any Beta Product.
6. Evaluation Use. If the Product is being used during a trial or evaluation, all of these Terms of Use (except for the payment obligation) will apply for the purpose and term of such authorized evaluation or trial period only, and not for the term of a valid Service Subscription for the Product. We reserve the right to terminate any such evaluation use of the Product at any time in our sole discretion.

We agree to defend you from and against third party claims that a Product in the form supplied to you under these Terms of Use infringes or misappropriates a third party’s patent, copyright or trademark rights and we will indemnify and hold you harmless from all damages, costs, and similar liabilities ordered by a court or agreed upon by Datto in settlement in connection with any such claim. Our indemnification obligations will not apply to (i) claims of infringement to the extent based on your combination of the Product with other products, services or software or marks if the infringement could have been avoided by the use of such Product not in such combination; (ii) any modifications to the Product not made by us; (iii) any damages incurred as a result of your failure to use any update to the Product we provide; or (iv) use of a Product in a manner that does not conform to its Specifications (these exceptions (i) through (iv) collectively will be referred to as "IP Exclusions").

Datto does not provide the Product directly to you. The Product is sold and provided by Datto, Inc. or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates (“Datto”) directly to the reseller/managed service provider (“Administrator”) that will use and manage the Product on your behalf with your Content. These Terms apply only if the Product is used and managed by an Administrator other than you. If you access, use or manage the Product yourself, including for support, you must register with Datto as an Administrator of the Product and accept and agree directly with Datto to the Product Terms of Use.

RIGHTS TO THE PRODUCT

Datto will use Content only as necessary to provide and support the Product and will not otherwise access Content other than as permitted under the applicable Terms of Use, as described in the Datto Privacy Policy, or as authorized by an Administrator for support. You and any Administrator you appoint are responsible for your Content and the consequences of its use in connection with the Product.
2. Datto’s Rights. In the event that Datto reasonably believes Content or related Product use violates the Product Terms of Use, may disrupt or threaten the operation or security of any computer, network, system or the Product, or may otherwise subject Datto to liability, Datto reserves the right to refuse or disable access to the Product or Content. Datto may also take such action pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and/or as required to comply with law or any judicial, regulatory or other governmental order or request. Datto will use reasonable efforts to contact the Administrator prior to taking such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Datto may restrict access to any Product or Content without prior notice as required to comply with law or any judicial, regulatory or other governmental order or request. In the event that Datto takes any such action without prior notice, Datto will provide notice to the Administrator, unless prohibited by law.

Datto Privacy Policy

Datto, Inc., along with its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide (collectively “Datto”, “we” or “us”), respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy covers Datto’s practices for the Datto websites that link to this Policy (“Websites”) as well as to the products, services and web-based applications provided by Datto (our “Products”). This Policy explains how we may use certain information we collect when you contact us, visit our Websites or purchase or use our Products. By using a Website or by purchasing, installing or using any of our Products, you are consenting to our practices as described in this Privacy Policy.

Personal Information
Personal Information means information that by itself identifies an individual (such as name, credit card number, or email address) as well as information that can be combined to identify an individual. In this Policy we distinguish Operational Personal Information from Personal Information in Content that may be backed up, stored or hosted through use of our Products, and treat each type of Personal Information differently, as described below.
Operational Personal Information
Operational Personal Information is Personal Information we collect and use in order to provide, support and market our Products. Operational Personal Information may include name, address, telephone number, email address and/or credit card number. We collect Operational Personal Information from individuals (including individual representatives of companies or other legal entities such as employees, officers or administrators) who register for, purchase and use our Products and from individuals who contact us and voluntarily disclose such information to us. This list includes authorized resellers, master resellers, users or potential users, or persons authorized to deal directly with Datto for Product support (we will refer to all of these in this Policy as “Customers”). Datto collects Operational Personal Information in many ways such as when someone fills out a form on one of our Websites, submits an email or other inquiry to us, enters a contest, posts on one of our community forums, registers for, purchases or uses a Product, registers or logs on to one of the areas of our Websites or web-based applications that are restricted to registered users, or requests support for a Product.

How we may Use Operational Personal Information
Datto uses Operational Personal Information for responding to and processing inquiries, orders and service requests or generally for any other purpose related to the original purpose for which the Operational Personal Information was collected. Datto also may use Operational Personal Information for supporting your relationship with Datto by designing services that are suitable to your needs, general Product support and updates, marketing, alerting you to new Product offerings as they become available, continuing existing service and support, and other similar purposes. This Information may also be used to provide you with notices about your purchases, your use of the Products, and to carry out Datto’s obligations and enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including for billing and collection.

Personal Information in Content
We treat all Content that is backed up, stored or hosted using our Products in the same manner, described below, regardless of whether or not it contains Personal Information.

How we may Use Content
Datto will not view, access or use Content, including Personal Information within Content, except as needed to actually provide our Products, as authorized by Customers in connection with Product support as described below, or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. Datto is not a data controller of any Content.
In the course of providing Product support requested by a Customer, Datto may have incidental access to Content. Any Customer request for Product support will be deemed express permission for us to access Content as needed for the limited purposes of providing the requested Product support. Customer, as the data controller, is responsible for furnishing any notices or obtaining any consents required by law from the relevant individuals. Product support may be provided by any Datto entity on behalf of another.

Aggregate Information
Personal Information, including any Personal Information in Content, does not include Aggregate Information, which is information we collect or process about a group or category of data. Aggregate Information cannot be attributed to any individual. We may use and share such Aggregate Information to improve Products, develop new products, understand and/or analyze usage, demand, and general industry trends, develop and publish white papers, reports, and databases summarizing the foregoing, and generally for any purpose related to our business. Aggregate Information may be derived from information provided by any Customer, from use of our Products or from passive data collection techniques described below. No Personal Information is included in Aggregate Information. This Policy does not restrict or limit our collection and use of Aggregate Information.

How we may Share Personal Information and Content
Datto will not give, sell, share, or trade any Operational Personal Information or any Personal Information in Content to any party outside of Datto except as outlined in this Policy or with appropriate consent. We may disclose Personal Information to a third party in the following limited circumstances:

as needed to enforce Datto’s Terms of Use, policies and any other contractual relationships with our Customers;
when we have a good faith belief that the disclosure is necessary to prevent or respond to fraud, defend our Websites or Products against possible attacks, or protect the property and safety of Datto, our Customers or the public;
as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, warrant, regulatory oversight or similar legal process;

  NAS 3 Business Performance, NAS 3 Professional Performance, NAS 3 X Professional Performance, NAS 3 Enterprise Performance5 years
  All other Datto devices3 yearsTHIS WARRANTY IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY GIVEN BY DATTO AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EACH OF WHICH IS HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXTENDED HARDWARE WARRANTY
1. You may purchase a one-time, two (2) year warranty extension (Extended Warranty) for certain devices (see applicable pricing sheet for eligible devices). The total warranty period on any device (consisting of the Standard Warranty period plus optional Extended Warranty period) may not exceed five years.
2. An Extended Warranty simply extends the length of the Standard Warranty for two (2) years. All terms, conditions, procedures and limitations of the Standard Warranty continue to apply during the Extended Warranty. A device that has been repaired or is a replacement of a device pursuant to an Extended Warranty will continue to be under warranty for a period equal to the greater of (i) the balance of the existing Extended Warranty period for the original device; or (ii) sixty (60) days. In order to be eligible for warranty service during an Extended Warranty, a device must be enrolled in an active Service Subscription for which payment is current.
3. An Extended Warranty for an eligible device may be purchased at any time during the Standard Warranty period on the device. An Extended Warranty purchased at the same time as the device will be discounted as shown on the applicable pricing sheet. The entire non-refundable purchase price for an Extended Warranty must be paid in full at the time of the purchase of the Extended Warranty.
4. An Extended Warranty applies only to, and may not be transferred apart from, the device for which it is purchased.
5. The following devices are not eligible for Extended Warranties:
  1. any device (or replacement for a device) already covered by an Extended Warranty
  2. any refurbished device
  3. any device not listed as eligible on the applicable pricing sheet
  4. any device already covered by a five year Standard Warranty
6. Extended Warranties and Upgrades:
  1. An Extended Warranty does not extend the time during which a device is eligible for a Standard Upgrade under Datto's Upgrade Policy. If a device covered by an Extended Warranty is upgraded, an Extended Warranty for the upgraded hardware device will be priced at the difference in the list price for the Extended Warranty on the upgraded device and the list price for the Extended Warranty on the original device at the time of upgrade. If a device covered by an Extended Warranty undergoes a Field Upgrade, an Extended Warranty must be purchased for the upgraded device. If a device covered by an Extended Warranty is upgraded under the Standard Upgrade procedure, an Extended Warranty on the upgraded device is optional, but no credit will be given for any unused Extended Warranty on the original device.
  2. All warranty returns must be authorized by us with a valid RMA issued by our Technical Support team. If a warranty return is authorized, please follow the Product Return Guidelines.
RETURNS
1. All Datto Products may be returned at any time within 45 days of purchase. Please contact your Datto Sales Representative to request an RMA email that will include return instructions and, as applicable, a return shipping label.
2. For device returns, please follow the applicable Product Return Guidelines. To be eligible for a full refund, the device must be returned in its original packaging in an undamaged, working condition and must include all accessories originally shipped with the device. If hardware is returned missing parts, in damaged condition or if damage occurs while in shipment due to poor packaging, your refund may be reduced to cover the damaged hardware.
3. For all other Product returns, please follow any return instructions included with your RMA materials.
SERVICE
1. Service Subscriptions. To maintain backup and business continuity services, a device must be enrolled in an active Service Subscription for which payment is current. Each Service Subscription consists of the following: Service Plan, Service Term, Payment Term and Retention Schedule.
2. Service Plan. All Service Plans include licenses to the technology needed to perform backup and business continuity functions and access to Datto Technical Support. Some Service Plans also provide for replicated storage (see Datto Cloud Service Plan - Retention Schedules). The Service Plans available for each device may be found on the applicable pricing sheet. Examples of Service Plans include: Local Only service; Private Cloud service; Private Node service; Datto Cloud - 1 Year Cloud Retention; Datto Cloud - Infinite Cloud Retention; and Datto Cloud - Capacity Based Storage.
3. Service Term. The Service Term is the duration of a Service Subscription. Device specific Service Term options are indicated on the applicable device pricing sheet. The Service Term for a device begins when you register the device. All devices must be registered within six months (45 days for a device with a Committed Service Term) from the date the device is linked to your account. If you do not register your device within six months of purchase, you will lose any pre-paid Service Subscription fees for that device, which will not be refunded to you.
  1. An initial Service Term is either for one month (the minimum duration for a Service Subscription) or for a defined number of consecutive months, called a Committed Service Term. Certain devices and/or hardware discounts are available only when purchased with a Committed Service Term.
  2. If one month is identified on an Order, or if you do not otherwise agree to a Committed Service Term, the duration of a Service Subscription is one month, which will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis unless terminated by you (by providing written notice to us by the 15th calendar day of the month prior to the effective month of cancellation).
  3. If a Service Subscription is for a Committed Service Term, you agree to pay for Service Subscription fees for the entire Committed Service Term. A Committed Service Term is non-revocable and non-transferable from the device to which it applies. If you terminate Service at any time during a Committed Service Term, you will not receive a refund of any prepaid but unused Service Subscription fees and a lump sum payment (equal to 100% of the monthly unpaid Service Subscription fee times the number of months remaining in the Committed Service Term) will be due immediately and charged to your preferred payment method. A Committed Service Term (and payment obligation) begins no later than 45 days from the date of device purchase, regardless if you have registered the applicable device in our system.
  4. Unless you notify us in writing by the 15th calendar day of the month prior to the expiration of a Committed Service Term that you do not want to continue a Service Subscription for the device, the Service Subscription will convert to a one-month term and automatically renew on a month- to month basis at our then current fees until cancelled by you as set forth above.
PAYMENT TERM
1. Unless quoted separately by a Datto account representative in writing, monthly Service Subscription fees are set forth in the applicable pricing sheet. Service Subscription fees are billed monthly in advance on the first day of the month. The first payment is due upon device purchase. Once the device is registered in our system we will send your next invoice adjusted for the prepayment made.
2. Monthly payment for a Service Subscription is due on the 6th business day of the month (16th calendar day for EMEA) by your preferred payment method, as indicated in your Partner Portal account.
3. You may also choose to prepay a Service Subscription according to our one-year, three-year or five-year pre-payment options. If the event of termination of a prepaid Service Subscription, no refund for unused Service will be given unless otherwise agreed in writing.
4. Forms of payment accepted by Datto:

If your check is returned to us for insufficient funds available, a fee may be charged to your account.
RETENTION SCHEDULE
1. Retention determines how and/or for how long data associated with a device is retained. Each device has local retention settings that control how data is retained on the local device and that are set by the user. The retention settings for offsite data associated with devices enrolled in Private Cloud Service and Capacity Based Storage are also set by the user.
2. As used in this section, a Retention Schedule refers to how and/or for how long data associated with a device enrolled in Datto Cloud Service is retained. Data associated with devices enrolled in any Datto Cloud plan will be retained, as specified in the applicable Retention Schedule associated with the purchased Service Plan, for as long as the device is under an active Service Subscription for which payments are current. If a Service Subscription terminates, Datto reserves the right to delete, after 60 days, the backed up data in the Datto Cloud associated with your device. It is your responsibility, during this period, at your expense, to request a copy of the data if you would like to retain a copy of the backed up data in the Datto Cloud associated with your device. See our Reverse Round Trip Procedures for further information.
DATTO CLOUD SERVICE PLAN - RETENTION SCHEDULES. The Datto Cloud Service Plan options are: (1) 1-Year Cloud Retention; (2) Infinite Cloud Retention; (3) Capacity Based Storage; (4) Live Dataset Retention; and (5) Mirrored Cloud Retention.
1. 1-Year Cloud Retention – The 1-Year Cloud Retention (also known as 1 Year Time Based Retention) plan is not limited to a pre-defined amount of Datto Cloud storage. Rather, incremental data backups are maintained for one year on a rolling basis, with the oldest incremental backups deleted first after one year. Automatic consolidation of incremental backup recovery points is applied on a rolling basis as shown below.
2. Infinite Cloud Retention – The Infinite Cloud Retention service plan uses a set retention schedule for the storage of cloud data. The plan is not limited to a pre-defined amount of Datto Cloud storage. Instead, incremental backups are retained for an indefinite period of time for as long as the Infinite Cloud Retention Service Plan Service Subscription for the device is current. Automatic consolidation of incremental backup recovery points is applied on a rolling basis as shown below.
3. Capacity Based Storage – Capacity Based Storage (previously known as Total Cloud Retention) allows you to set your own retention schedule. The plan provides for a pre-defined amount of Datto Cloud storage in the monthly Service Subscription fee as set forth in the applicable device pricing sheet. Usage of Datto Cloud storage in excess of the pre-defined allotment for the device is charged an additional amount as described in the applicable pricing sheet.
4. Live Dataset Retention - Live Dataset Retention is a legacy retention option according to which devices are allocated the lesser of 2 times the local storage capacity of the device or the most recent 12 months of incremental backups. Data is automatically pruned, oldest first, once the amount of data has reached the allotted storage (lesser of 12 months or 2 times the local storage capacity). Live Dataset Retention is no longer available for purchase with new devices.
5. Mirrored Cloud Retention – Mirrored Cloud Retention (also known as G Series Service) is a legacy retention option available on some devices, where the data in the Datto Cloud is kept in sync with the backed up data on the Datto device. If data is added or removed from the local device, those changes are made in the Cloud the next time the device syncs offsite. This provides data redundancy in case of a local disaster, but does not provide any benefits related to rolling back or change management. Typically, we offer a backup license as a separate service on devices enrolled in this Mirrored Cloud Retention in the event over-time backups are desired. Mirrored Cloud Retention is no longer available for purchase with new devices.
PRUNING OF INCREMENTAL BACKUPS FOR INFINITE CLOUD OR TIME BASED RETENTION SCHEDULESWith respect to Infinite Cloud Retention, 1-Year Cloud Retention, or any previously offered multi-year time based Service Plan, we use the following schedule for consolidating incremental backups, stored in the Datto Cloud. For devices under a previously offered multi-year time based Service Plan, monthly backups are deleted oldest first after the retention period selected (i.e., 2-10 years).
Pruning of Incremental Offsite Backups:Takes Place After:Intra-dailies7 Days
Dailies2 Weeks
Weeklies45 Days
MonthliesDepends upon service planNote: We reserve the right to limit Datto Cloud usage under all Service Plans if we determine there is activity or usage in a manner that: (i) adversely impacts Datto; (ii) results in excessive bandwidth or storage usage; or (iii) harms, disrupts, or otherwise diminishes the Datto brand, services, network, or any computer system.
SERVICE PLAN CONVERSION
1. If your device is not subject to a Committed Service Term, you may switch from any Service Plan to any other currently offered Service Plan available for your device model (Note: some limitations may apply in switching between certain Service Plans, please contact your Datto Sales Representative for additional information).
2. If a device is subject to a current Committed Service Term, the device may be converted to another Service Plan only if monthly Service Subscription fees under a new Service Plan are higher than under the current Service Plan. Service Plan conversions may require a different Retention Schedule or involve deletion of data backups and you are responsible for understanding the consequences of any conversion to a different Service Plan.
3. Regardless of whether a device is subject to a Committed Service Plan, some fees may apply in switching a device's Service Plan to Infinite Cloud Retention, please consult the Infinite Cloud price sheets for additional information.
CUSTOM BUILT DEVICES
1. Select Datto devices can be custom-built by starting with a pre-configured device and adding more RAM and/or a more powerful CPU. In some cases, a RAM and/or CPU change may necessitate using a different motherboard as well. These standard approved configurations are provided by Datto. The price for a custom-built device is the price of the pre-configured model, plus the price of the additional hardware. The monthly Service Subscription price for the custom-built device is the same as the monthly Service Subscription price of the standard, pre-configured device on which the custom-built device is based.
2. Each device that is custom-built by Datto using standard approved configurations comes with the same Standard Warranty as the pre-configured device on which it is based. To learn more about custom-built options, please contact your Datto Sales Representative.
UPGRADES
1. Standard Upgrades. Our Standard Upgrade Policy allows you to purchase a new device (the Upgrade device) and return an existing device (the Original device) to Datto for upgrade credit equal to the price you paid for the Original device. In no event will the upgrade credit exceed the lesser of the cost of the Upgrade device, or the amount paid for the Original device.
2. To be eligible for any upgrade, the Upgrade device must be purchased with a higher priced Service Subscription than the Service Subscription for the Original device. The only hardware discounts available on an Upgrade device purchase are any standard discounts for Committed Service Terms as found on the applicable pricing sheets. Please contact your Datto Sales Representative for available upgrade paths for your device. If the Original device undergoing a Standard Upgrade is subject to a current Committed Service Term, the Upgrade device must be purchased together with a new Committed Service Term (in increments described in the applicable pricing sheet) at least as long as the time remaining in the Committed Service Term on the Original device. For example, if the Original device has 6 months remaining on a 36 month Committed Service Term at the time of Standard Upgrade, and the shortest Committed Service Term offered is 12 months in length, then the Upgrade device must be purchased together with a Committed Service Term of at least 12 months. A device transferred from the Partner that originally purchased it is not eligible for an upgrade credit under the Standard Upgrade Policy; only the Partner that originally purchased that device can take advantage of a Standard Upgrade for that device.
3. To perform a Standard Upgrade, you must contact a Datto Sales Representative and purchase an eligible Upgrade device. Once you receive the Upgrade device, you must connect the Upgrade device and the Original device to the same local network, then migrate the data from the Original device to the Upgrade device (this may require the assistance of Datto Technical Support). After migration is complete and the Upgrade device is operational, you must return the Original device to Datto following the Product Return Guidelines to receive an upgrade credit. Once you register the Upgrade device, you will be billed at the new monthly Service Subscription rate for the Upgrade device. In order to ensure uninterrupted service, Service billing on the Original device continues until we either receive the Original device or you cancel the Service Subscription on the Original device. To receive the upgrade credit, the Original device must be returned in undamaged, working condition in adequate packaging. If damage occurs while in shipment to us due to poor packaging, your upgrade credit may be reduced to cover damaged hardware.
4. A Standard Upgrade can be applied one time within three years from purchase of the Original device, but at no time after. An Upgrade device obtained with following a Standard Upgrade comes with a new Standard Warranty applicable to the Upgrade device, but may not be used in a further Standard Upgrade under this policy.
5. For any of the upgrade paths for which a Field Upgrade is an option, in the event you would like to perform an upgrade to a different model, you must select a Field Upgrade rather than a Standard Upgrade.
FIELD UPGRADES
1. Different from the Standard Upgrade, a Field Upgrade does not require physically swapping an Original device for an Upgrade device. Instead, you may purchase from Datto and install on-site a Field Upgrade Kit, consisting of hard disk drives and in some cases RAM. In most cases a Field Upgrade Kit will upgrade a device to match the specs of a larger model in the same product line. Field Upgrade Kits are available only for certain devices - please see your sales representative for further information.
2. You may purchase Field Upgrade Kits through a Datto Sales Representative, paying the difference between the list price (at the time of upgrade) for the Original device and the list price (at the time of upgrade) of the Upgrade device. The price of the Service Subscription applicable to the device after the Field Upgrade must be higher than before the Field Upgrade.
3. Once the Field Upgrade Kit has been received, you should initiate the installation by contacting Datto Technical Support. A Support Representative will guide you through the process of adding the RAM to the motherboard, and adding the new drives via the hot-swap bays. Multiple drive swaps and/or resilvering operations may be required. The Field Upgrade process can be suspended should you need to perform a recovery from the local device. For further details, please consult the Partner Portal, or contact your Sales Representative.
4. The new Service Subscription rate on the Upgraded device will begin in the month immediately following the completed Field Upgrade.
5. If the device that has undergone a Field Upgrade has a prepaid Service Subscription, you will be charged a prorated amount equal to the difference between the original monthly Service Subscription rate and the new monthly Service Subscription rate times the number of months remaining in the prepaid term, rounded down to the nearest month. Discounts originally applied to a prepayment do not extend to new Service Subscription charges resulting from a Field Upgrade. A Field Upgrade does not affect a Committed Service Term on the device, which will remain in force at the new service Subscription rate.
6. A Field Upgrade can be applied at any point during the three-year period following purchase of the device, but at no time after. Performing a Field Upgrade does not extend the device's Standard Warranty and all components installed from a Field Upgrade Kit fall under the device's original Standard Warranty. At no point will the Field Upgrade Kit components be under warranty when the Standard Warranty for the Original device in which they have been installed has lapsed. For any of the upgrade paths for which a Field Upgrade is an option, in the event you would like to perform an upgrade, you must select a Field Upgrade rather than a Standard Upgrade.
ROUNDTRIPS
1. Datto RoundTrip service is used to expedite the replication of large data sets from a local Datto device to the Datto Cloud (standard RoundTrip) or to retrieve large data sets from the Datto Cloud (reverse RoundTrip). RoundTrip service involves the use of a physical storage device, called a RoundTrip device/drive, supplied by Datto or by you, that makes a “round trip" (either from Datto to you and back with a Datto supplied RoundTrip drive; or from you to Datto and back when you supply the physical storage device). RoundTrip service allows synchronization of data to the Datto Cloud, or retrieval of data from the Datto Cloud, in far less time than it takes to transfer large data sets over internet connections.
2. The primary purpose of standard RoundTrip service is to facilitate the initial replication of full images from a newly deployed Datto device to the Datto Cloud. After such initial cloud seeding, standard RoundTrip service should be used only to resolve off-site synchronization issues and not to compensate regularly for inadequate bandwidth at a local device site.
3. Reverse RoundTrip service is a fee-based service. Datto requires proper written authorization for all reverse RoundTrip orders before we send any data from the Datto Cloud. You must represent that you have the authority to request and receive a copy of the data in the Datto Cloud and are acting on the instructions of and for the benefit of the owner of the data. You are responsible for any misrepresentation involving your authority to receive data from the Datto Cloud that has not in fact been authorized by the owner of the data.
4. All RoundTrip service is subject to the RoundTrip Procedures. Datto is not responsible for any delayed or incorrect RoundTrip service caused by your improper ordering of RoundTrip service, incorrect shipments or shipment information, or any other failure by you to follow instructions or the RoundTrip Procedures. You are responsible for and agree to pay the full current replacement cost of a RoundTrip device/drive supplied by Datto if damage occurs to it (a) while in your custody or control; (b) due to your shipment using to inadequate shipping materials; or (c) if you fail to return it to Datto in the time specified in the RoundTrip Procedures. You are also fully responsible for all consequences of your delay in returning a RoundTrip device/drive that results in incomplete data synchronization between a Datto device and the Datto Cloud and the need for that data in the event of a disaster or other business continuity event.
PRODUCT RETURN GUIDELINES
1. Step 1 - Notification:
  1. Warranty Return: Once our Technical Support team has authorized the warranty return, a replacement device or part will be sent to you. You will be provided with the return shipping instructions and label with the replacement device or part. If you cannot locate this return label then we will have a new shipping label sent to you. To do so, if you are located in the United States, Canada, Singapore, or Australia, please contact us at returns@datto.com; if you are located in the EMEA region, please open a support ticket so that support may provide you with a new shipping label.
  2. Credit Return, Upgrade or Trial Return: We will provide you with return shipping instructions and label once a return request is processed through your Sales Representative. [see suggested improved wording above for the rest of this paragraph] If you are located in the United States, Canada, Singapore, or Australia, please contact us at returns@datto.com if you cannot locate this return label and we will have a new shipping label sent to you. If you are located in the EMEA region, please open a support ticket so that support may provide you with a new shipping label.
  3. Note: When we email you a shipping label, it will come from an automated sender with the shipper’s domain (e.g., ups.com or fedex.com). If you do not receive your label, please check your spam folder. If not found and you are located in the United States, Canada, Singapore, or Australia, please contact us at returns@datto.com. If you are located in the EMEA region, please open a support ticket so that we may assist you.
  4. Note: To avoid inadvertent data loss, we will not automatically cancel a Service Subscription on a device that has been authorized for return. We will terminate the Service Subscription as of the last day of the month we receive a returned device. If you do not return a device to us that is being replaced (for warranty, upgrade, or any other reason), billing will continue on the device until you cancel the Service Subscription.
2. Step 2 – Pack and ship:
  1. After receiving the shipping label, package your original device or part in the original or like packaging, ensure that it is protected, and return it to Datto within 45 days of receipt of the shipping label or you will be charged for the applicable device or part. If Datto determines after receipt of the original device or part subject to a warranty return that there is no defect found or the defect is due to one of the exclusions listed under our warranty, you will be charged for the part or the difference between the cost of the replacement device and the value of the original returned device. All devices must be returned in adequate packaging, and if damage occurs while in shipment due to poor packaging, fees may be charged to you to cover damaged hardware.
