This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This is Datadog's website terms of use, covering how you may use datadoghq.com and related web properties, not the paid monitoring platform itself. When you submit content to the website, such as forum posts or feedback, Datadog's terms authorize a broad license to use, modify, reproduce, and sublicense that content without payment to you. If you use the paid Datadog platform, a separate Master Subscription Agreement governs that relationship, and you should review that document for data processing and service-level obligations.
This document governs use of Datadog's website and related online properties, establishing terms under which visitors and registered users may access and interact with Datadog's web presence, distinct from the separate subscription agreement governing Datadog's paid SaaS products. The agreement states that users grant Datadog a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and display any content submitted to the site, and the terms reserve to Datadog the right to modify or discontinue the website or these terms at any time with or without notice. The intellectual property license granted over user-submitted content is broad in scope, covering sublicensing and modification rights, though the practical reach of this grant depends on what content users actually submit to the public website versus the separately governed product environment. The terms disclaim all warranties and limit Datadog's liability to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the governing law clause designates New York law with New York courts as the forum, which may affect enforceability for EU and other international users under their applicable consumer or data protection frameworks. For organizations in regulated sectors, the distinction between these website terms and the separately referenced Master Subscription Agreement is material, as data processing obligations under GDPR, CCPA, and sector-specific frameworks such as HIPAA would be governed by that separate agreement rather than this document.
