BCDR CONTENT OWNER TERMS
These Content Owner Terms (“Terms”), including any Exhibits, apply to you as the person or entity that owns, licenses, or lawfully controls the data, files or other content (“Content”) with which a Datto backup and disaster recovery product (“Product”) will be used. 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
You acknowledge that Datto and its licensors own all intellectual property rights in and to the Product. You will not engage in or authorize any activity that is inconsistent with such ownership.
The Product may involve the use of third party technology licensed by Datto, the use of which is subject to such third parties’ license or other customer terms. These terms are attached hereto as Exhibit A.
DATTO’s RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES REGARDING CONTENT
Datto’s Use of Content. 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.
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.
Use of Aggregate Data. Notwithstanding anything else in these Terms or otherwise, Datto may evaluate and process use of the Product and Content in an aggregate and anonymous manner, and compile statistical and performance information related thereto (referred to as “Aggregate Data”). Datto may use and share such Aggregate Data to improve the 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 Datto’s business. Datto retains all intellectual property rights in Aggregate Data. For clarity, Aggregate Data does not include any personally identifiable information nor identify any Content Owner or individual.
ADMINISTRATOR
Datto will interact with the Administrator(s) you authorize to operate and manage use of the Product with your Content. You are not a third party beneficiary of any agreement between Datto and an Administrator.
An Administrator is not an agent of Datto and is not authorized to make any representations or warranties on behalf of Datto regarding the Product or its use.
You are responsible for instructing and authorizing the Administrator with respect to use of the Product including backup settings, management of Content, deletion of Content, and transition of Product or Content to a different Administrator, and transition assistance and cooperation upon termination or expiration of any relationship between or among Administrator, you and/or Datto.
You expressly agree that Datto may rely on the instructions and authorization of the Administrator with respect to use and support of the Product and access and control of your Content.
SECURITY
Datto has implemented and maintains physical, technical and administrative measures designed to help secure Content under Datto’s control against accidental or unlawful loss, access or disclosure. However, no password-protected system of data storage and retrieval can be made entirely impenetrable and you acknowledge and agree that despite the reasonable measures employed, the Products and Content are not guaranteed against all security threats or other vulnerabilities.
You acknowledge and agree that the Administrator you authorize to manage use of the Product with your Content has access to and manages your Content. You and/or the Administrator are responsible, and in no event will Datto be responsible, for any physical, administrative, or technical controls related to Products or Content not under the exclusive control of Datto, including but not limited to local Product access, LAN or internet connectivity. You and/or the Administrator are responsible for the proper configuration and maintenance of security measures and for determining the security measures appropriate for the Content, including local encryption of sensitive Content
INDEMNIFICATION
You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Datto from and against any loss, cost, liability or damage, including attorneys’ fees, for which Datto becomes liable arising from any claim relating to your Content, including if it a) infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights or other rights of a third party; b) violates any applicable law; or c) otherwise is in violation of these Terms or the Product Terms of Use.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
THE DATTO PRODUCT, INCLUDING ANY THIRD PARTY COMPONENTS OR TECHNOLOGY, ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DATTO DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL PROMISES, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, DATA ACCURACY, DATA SECURITY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, TITLE, AND/OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OR ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF ANY COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. DATTO DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PRODUCT WILL MEET ANY SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE OPERATION OF ANY PRODUCT WILL BE SECURE, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ALL ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED.
DATTO MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT THE PRODUCT’S COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS SPECIFICALLY APPLICABLE TO ANY USER OR INDUSTRY AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY ASSOCIATED THEREWITH.
THE PRODUCT MAY BE SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS, DELAYS, AND OTHER RISKS INHERENT IN THE USE OF THE INTERNET AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS. DATTO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DELAYS, DELIVERY FAILURES, OR OTHER DAMAGE RESULTING FROM SUCH PROBLEMS.
DATTO DISCLAIMS ANY DUTIES OF A BAILEE, AND YOU HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF A BAILOR (ARISING UNDER COMMON LAW OR STATUTE), RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF ANY POSSESSION, STORAGE, TRANSMISSION OR SHIPMENT OF CONTENT BY OR ON BEHALF OF DATTO.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL DATTO OR ANY DATTO LICENSOR OR SUPPLIER BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR COSTS, REGARDLESS OF THE NATURE OF THE CLAIM, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, COSTS OF DELAY, FAILURE OF DELIVERY, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, COSTS OF LOST OR DAMAGED DATA OR THE COST OF RECREATING THE SAME, EVEN IF DATTO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL DATTO BE LIABLE FOR THE PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT” BELOW OR BY ACCESSING OR USING ANY PRODUCT YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE, INCLUDING ALL APPLICABLE POLICIES. 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.
Certain Products are available for resale and use only within designated geographic regions. You may purchase and resell such Products for use only in the geographic region designated by Datto for such Product. The European Data Processing Addendum is incorporated into these Terms of Use If a Networking Device is in use in the European Economic Area.
If you accept these Terms of Use solely as a third party Administrator of a Product (not as a Network 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 for the Network Owner.
If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you may not install, access or use the Product.
Capitalized words are defined in the last section or when first used throughout these Terms of Use.
USE OF PRODUCT
Right to Use. A Product consists of a Networking Device deployed on a Network and Network Services that are made available through the Networking Device and/or a Network Management Portal. Datto Networking Devices may be registered only in the Datto Network Management Portal. Subject to these Terms of Use and the receipt by us of all fees applicable to the Product, Datto grants you a limited, revocable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive right and license to access and use the Product on one Network in accordance with the Product Specifications. If you are a Network Owner, you may use the Product solely for your own internal Network and not for the benefit of any third party.
Ongoing Payment Requirement. The continued right to use a Product requires that it be enrolled in a valid Service Subscription and we continue to receive payment with respect to such use. If a Product is not properly registered in a current Service Subscription for which applicable payments are current, we have no obligation to allow remote access to the Product or to continue provide any related Network Services.
Limited Rights. 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 the Datto Software, Network Services and the Network Management Portal, and all copies thereof. The Product contains 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 Product not expressly granted under these Terms of Use are expressly reserved by us and/or our licensors or suppliers.

Any Third Party App is provided by a third party, not us, pursuant to a separate agreement between you and the third party provider. We do not endorse, support or control any Third Party Apps. We make no representation or warranty with respect to any Third Party App and we expressly disclaim all liability with respect to your use of any Product with a Third Party App.
Beta Products. We may designate enhancements to a Product or a new Product as “Beta Product.” Such Beta Product will not be ready for use in a production environment and its operation may be unpredictable and lead to erroneous results. You are under no obligation to use a Beta Product. If you choose to use a Beta Product, you agree the Beta Product (i) is experimental and has not been fully tested; (ii) may not meet your requirements; (iii) use or operation may not be uninterrupted or error free and is for purposes of evaluating and testing the product and providing feedback to us. You agree to report promptly to us any errors or other deficiencies in the Beta Product and will hold all information relating to use and performance of the Beta Product in strict confidence and not disclose such information to any unauthorized third parties. 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.
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.
