Meraki Go Terms of Services

Welcome to Meraki Go! Our goal is to make your experience GREAT, including all the legal stuff. We aim to keep our legal terms simple, transparent, and to the point. So, let’s “Get Your Business Going”!

Please be sure to read the below terms carefully before you use the Software (as defined below) or your Meraki Go device (collectively, the “Products”). Once you click the “Accept” button or check a checkbox if such button or function is available or once you use the Products, you’re agreeing to these terms. These terms are important and limit your legal rights, including the right to bring a court case against us, so give ‘em a close read.

If you don’t agree to these terms, don’t use the Products or click “I accept”. Instead, return your Meraki Go device (in good, unused condition) within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of original purchase for a full refund.

Your purchase of the Products includes Software, such as the Meraki Gooperating system executable code, the Meraki hosted software known as the Dashboard, related APIs, mobile application, embedded software, third-party software, firmware, fonts, and other data, including any updates, whether ondisk, in read only memory, on any other media in any other form (we refer to all of those software elements collectively as, the “Software”).

1. Getting Started

1. Your use of the Products will be governed by the terms and conditions set out in this agreement which are referred to below as the “Meraki Go Terms”. Please only use the Products if you agree to these Meraki Go Terms.
2. There are a few ways you can accept these Meraki Go Terms. You can:
   1. click to accept when creating your Meraki Go account; or
   2. by actually using the Products.
3. If you’re agreeing to these terms on behalf of or for the benefit of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have the legal authority to bind that entity to these terms of service. If you don’t have that type of authority, or you don’t agree to any of these Meraki Go Terms, no problem; just don’t use the Products.
4. We require you to be at least eighteen (18) years old to purchase and use the Products. If you are not eighteen (18) years old, contact us to return the Products for a refund.
5. “Cisco” means Cisco Systems, Inc., whose principal place of business is at 170 West Tasman Drive, San Jose, California 95134, United States.
6. Cisco has subsidiaries and affiliated legal entities around the world (“Subsidiaries and Affiliates”).

Importantly, the Software may not be available to all persons or in all countries. To that end, you will ensure that the Products are not directly or indirectly exported, re-exported, or used toprovide services in violation of applicable export laws and regulations.

1. We’re constantly working to deliver the best products to our customers. The Software may change from time to time, without prior notice to you. There may also be times when Cisco has to temporarily suspend or end offering the Software or some specific feature or functionality. We make those decisions in our sole discretion, without prior notice to you.
2. We also develop patches, bug fixes, updates, upgrades and other modifications to the Software, in addition to new software modules, enhanced functions and completely new versions of the Software (“Updates”). If you continue to use the Software, you consent to the automatic downloading and installation of these Updates, which may be automatically downloaded and installed onto the Products without prior notice.

You acknowledge that you may be required to install Updates to continue use of, or access the full functionality of, the Software, and you agree to promptly install such Updates.

If you restart using the Products, the automatic download of Updates may restart and by continuing to use the Products, you are consenting to such Updates.

1. We know privacy is important to you, and it’s important to us too. We work hard to protect your privacy and personal information. You can find more information in Cisco’s Online Privacy Statement (“Privacy Statement”) (available here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/legal/privacy.html).

By using your Products, you understand that you are collecting data regarding the devices that connect to your local area network, created in whole or in part by use of the Products and how your network is being used, including the types of data described below. By means of your Products, you are then transferring that data to Cisco for processing and storage, including data that may contain personally identifiable information of Network Users (collectively, “Customer Data”). That said, the Products include functionality that limits orrestricts the types of information collected, and you may certainly make use of that functionality. You retain all right, title and interest in and to your Customer Data. Cisco is permitted to use Customer Data only as reasonably required to provide the Products and, only to the extent necessary, to protect our rights in any dispute with you and as required by law. It is your responsibility to provide notice to, and obtain any necessary consents from, your Network Users regarding collection, processing, disclosure, and storage of Customer Data. It is also your responsibility to respond to—and, where legally required, to effectuate—any Network User requests related to any legal rights to control or access personal information pertaining to the Network User. For purposes of this section, a “Network User” is anyone who obtains access to your Meraki Go local area network.

Arbitration is a method of claim resolution that is less formal than a traditional court proceeding.

The arbitrator shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an adequate opportunity to discover relevant information regarding the subject matter of the Dispute.

Subscriptions can be returned by contacting your reseller.

End-of-Life

Product End-of-Life (EOL) Policy

Meraki Go may find it necessary to discontinue products for a number of reasons, including product line enhancements, market demands, technology innovation, or the products simply mature over time and are replaced by functionally richer products. We have set our end-of-life (EOL) policy to help customers better manage their product end-of-life transition.

When a product reaches EOL, Meraki is committed to communicating important milestones throughout the EOL period. These notifications will include the initial EOL notification, the End of Sale (EOS) announcement, and the End of Support (EOST) dates, as well as other key information pertaining to Meraki Go products.

Any products being discontinued will be announced as End of Sale and identified on the Meraki Go website up to six months prior to the discontinuation and EOS date (also known as the last order date). On the end of sale date, discontinued hardware products and related device-specific licenses are removed from the price list and are no longer available for purchase. Meraki Go typically provides support for a given product for a period of 2 years after the EOS date. If the discontinued product is not available for replacement or repair of an in-warranty return, Meraki may, in its sole discretion, replace the discontinued product with functionally equivalent hardware and transfer the remaining license term from the replaced product to the replacement hardware.

Although Meraki Go products typically can connect to our cloud-based management software for the entire useful life of the product, following the EOST Date, some things may change, including the following:

1. Meraki cannot guarantee that hardware products will be able to connect to the management software indefinitely following the EOST Date;
2. Meraki Go Support may no longer troubleshoot the hardware products;
3. Meraki may no longer issue firmware updates or patches for the products; and
4. New software features available for the management software may not be compatible with the hardware functionality or with the firmware running on the hardware.

If either of the first two situations above occurs, then we will use our best efforts to provide the customer with a workable solution for upgrading from the EOL hardware and, failing that, will credit the value of any remaining license time attributable to the hardware to the customer’s organization on a prorated basis.

For a full list of product, announcements and dates, please refer to our Product End-of-Life (EOL) Policies documentations article.
