This is Ring's Terms of Service, covering everything from video doorbells and security cameras to the Ring app, subscription plans, and the Neighbors community feature. The most important thing to know is that when you share any video, audio, or image content through Ring's platform, you grant Ring a permanent, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that content for any purpose, and your subscription fees are non-refundable with automatic renewal charged without prior notice. Review your auto-renewal settings and understand that canceling a subscription means your recorded footage becomes inaccessible once the subscription period ends.
This agreement governs access to and use of Ring LLC's hardware products, software services, and affiliated non-Ring offerings, with Ring asserting the right to modify, suspend, or terminate access at its sole discretion. The terms authorize Ring to collect and process video, audio, and image content captured by user devices, and the agreement states that users sharing content grant Ring 'an unlimited, nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, store, delete, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, perform, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such Content throughout the world for any purpose in any media.' The agreement includes mandatory binding arbitration and a class action waiver prominently disclosed at the top of the document, subscription fees are stated to be non-refundable with auto-renewal authorized without advance notice unless applicable law requires it, and users bear responsibility for ensuring their recording practices comply with applicable laws including consent requirements for third-party recording. The document engages CCPA and California consumer privacy frameworks given Ring's user base, GDPR and UK GDPR for EU and UK users respectively, COPPA given the minimum age of 13, and FTC Act provisions governing unfair or deceptive practices in consumer device and subscription contexts. The perpetual content license, law enforcement data sharing practices described in Ring's incorporated privacy policy, and the scope of user responsibility for third-party recording compliance create compliance considerations that legal teams should evaluate alongside applicable state wiretapping statutes and biometric data laws.
