Datadog's Terms of Use were updated on May 21, 2026 to add references to 'Pup CLI' in product navigation and feature listings.

This is a minor technical update to documentation rather than a substantive change to user rights, obligations, or service terms.

This new provision imposes broad indemnification obligations on users to cover Datadog's legal costs and damages for user violations or website use, significantly expanding user liability exposure.
This new provision disclaims Datadog's responsibility for third-party linked content and damages arising from third-party website use, protecting Datadog from liability for external resources.
This new standalone provision codifies Datadog's unilateral right to modify terms with immediate effect and establishes constructive acceptance through continued use, expanding Datadog's ability to change user obligations without explicit consent.
Removal of this provision eliminates Datadog's broad license to use, modify, and create derivative works from user-submitted content, potentially reducing Datadog's rights over user content contributions.
Provision renamed to 'Intellectual Property Ownership and Use Restrictions', expanded to include 'proprietary rights' alongside 'intellectual property laws', and now includes affirmative use restrictions on reproduction and modification.
Narrowed scope from 'all content, materials, information, software, products, and services' to just 'the website', removed specific warranty disclaimers (merchantability, fitness for purpose, non-infringement) and replaced with broader representation disclaimers about completeness, security, reliability, quality, accuracy, and availability; severity downgraded from medium to low.
Expanded liability shield to cover affiliates, licensors, service providers, employees, agents, officers, and directors; added punitive damages and personal injury/pain and suffering to the exclusion list; broadened scope to include inability to use and linked websites; changed structure from 'shall not' to 'will not'.
Removed explicit exclusive jurisdiction clause requiring federal or state courts in New York, replaced with broader 'all matters' language and added clarification that non-contractual disputes are included; changed 'laws' to 'internal laws'.
Renamed to 'Right to Terminate or Restrict Access', changed from 'Datadog' to 'We', separated website modification rights from terms modification, added explicit no-liability clause for unavailability, added granular access restriction language, and removed terms modification provision (now separate); severity downgraded from medium to low.
Restructured from 'agree not to use Website to [list]' to 'use only for lawful purposes' with different enumeration; shifted focus from content type restrictions to legal compliance and harm-specific prohibitions; added explicit prohibition on exploiting minors and advertising/spam; removed technical abuse restrictions (robots, scrapers, reverse engineering).
