SKYDIO CARE TERMS OF SERVICE
Current version of these Terms of Service
The Skydio Care subscription (“Skydio Care”) and the corresponding terms of service (“Terms of Service”) outlined in this agreement (“Agreement”) are provided by Skydio, Inc. (“Skydio”). By purchasing Skydio Care, the purchaser (“you” or “your”) hereby agrees to have read, to have understood, and to be bound by this Agreement.
This Agreement governs Skydio Care services for your Skydio drones provided to you by Skydio or by an affiliate (“Services”). This Agreement includes the Terms of Service and your original sales receipts and/or purchase confirmations for your Skydio drone and corresponding Skydio Care package. A confirmation for your Skydio Care purchase may be provided to you by Skydio at the time of purchase or thereafter.
The Terms of Service are generally the same regardless of which Skydio Care package that you purchase, with the sole exception being the maximum number and cost of replacement drones offered under each applicable Skydio Care package.
Each Skydio drone product can only be registered once for coverage under Skydio Care as a “Covered Drone”. You agree to permit Skydio to track the Covered Drone for purposes of providing the Services, using methods and identifying information that are available to Skydio. The term Covered Drone(s) does not extend to the charger, controller, propeller, any other accessory, or any software that is provided with the drone or that is made available for separate purchase by Skydio.
The benefits provided to you under Skydio Care are additional to, and separate from, your rights under applicable laws and under the Skydio One (1) Year Limited Warranty ( www.skydio.com/legal/limited-warranty) (“Limited Warranty”) which only covers hardware. The terms and conditions in this Terms of Service for Skydio Care, including the Exclusions as described below, also differ from the terms and conditions of the Limited Warranty. Please review the Limited Warranty and this Terms of Service for a description of their respective terms, conditions and Exclusions.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICES
The Services primarily cover the “Replacement” of Covered Drones, as described in, and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set out in this Agreement.
The Replacement of the Covered Drone (“Replacement Drone”) will be a Skydio drone product of the same or similar make/model as the Covered Drone. If Skydio replaces the Covered Drone, the Covered Drone shall become Skydio’s sole property and the Replacement Drone shall become your property, with Service coverage effective for the remainder of the Coverage Period (as described below). Replacement Drones may be, in whole or in part, demos, floor models, or used items, and may include blemishes or other visual differences from new hardware that do not materially impact the drone’s functionality. Skydio reserves the right to uniquely mark, identify, and monitor all Replacement Drones in the same manner it does to other drones. To the extent that the Services have not terminated, the Replacement Drone may become a Covered Drone within the meaning of this Agreement as described below.
In rare instances, and at the sole discretion of Skydio, the Services may also include the “Repair” of Covered Drones. Repair means the fixing or replacing of one or more components to restore the Covered Drone’s functionality, without regard to cosmetic or other impacts on the Covered Drone which are immaterial to the drone’s functionality.
SCOPE
Skydio Care provides additional coverage beyond the only hardware coverage that is provided by the Limited Warranty by allowing you to purchase Replacement Drones (“Additional Coverage”). This Additional Coverage is strictly limited to cases of a) accidental damage from an unexpected and unintentional collision, crash, water damage, or liquid damage, and b) accidental loss of drones or fly aways (collectively, “Covered Events”).
NUMBER AND COST OF REPLACEMENTS PROVIDED BY THE SERVICES
Different Skydio Care packages provide different Services covering a different maximum number of Replacement Drones and different costs for the Replacement Drones.
If you purchased a Skydio Care One (1) Year package, subject to the Scope and Skydio Care Exclusions as described below, the Skydio Care One (1) Year package comes with a twelve (12) month Coverage Period. Under the Skydio Care One (1) Year package, you will be authorized to obtain and pay for up to two (2) Replacement Drones, only one (1) of which can be a drone that is either lost or irrecoverable (“Lost Drone”). The first Replacement Drone will cost you $150, or $550 for a Lost Drone, and the second Replacement Drone will cost you $200, or $550 for a Lost Drone.
If you purchased a Skydio Care Two (2) Year package, subject to the Scope and Skydio Care Exclusions as described below, the Skydio Care Two (2) Year package comes with a twenty-four (24) month Coverage Period. Under the Skydio Care Two (2) Year package, you will be authorized to obtain and pay for up to three (3) Replacement Drones, only one (1) of which can be a Lost Drone. The first Replacement Drone will cost you $150, or $550 for a Lost Drone, the second Replacement Drone will cost you $200, or $550 for a Lost Drone, and the third Replacement Drone will cost you $250, or $550 for a Lost Drone.
If you purchased a Skydio Care Enterprise package, subject to the Scope and Skydio Care Exclusions as described below, the Skydio Care Enterprise package comes with a twenty-four (24) month Coverage Period. Under the Skydio Care Enterprise package, you will be authorized to obtain and pay for up to three (3) Replacement Drones, only one (1) of which can be a Lost Drone. The first Replacement Drone will cost you $0, or $550 for a Lost Drone, the second Replacement Drone will cost you $450, or $550 for a Lost Drone, and the third Replacement Drone will cost you $450, or $550 for a Lost Drone.

Your rights to obtain and pay for Replacement Drones are subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, including but not limited to the Sections entitled Scope and Skydio Care Exclusions.
LIMITED WARRANTY EXTENSION
If the Coverage Period in the Skydio Care package that you purchased is for twenty-four (24) months, you will receive a twelve (12) month time period extension in addition to the original twelve (12) month time period provided under the Limited Warranty with the same terms and conditions of the Limited Warranty which only covers hardware (the “Limited Warranty Extension”). Similar to the Limited Warranty, any Product that has either been repaired or replaced under this Limited Warranty Extension will be covered by the terms of the Limited Warranty for the longer of (i) ninety (90) days from your receipt of the Product that has either been repaired or replaced or (ii) the remaining time left in the Limited Warranty Extension. You will have access to submit a claim under the Limited Warranty Extension for the full twenty-four (24) month Coverage Period of your Skydio Care package, even if you have received the maximum number of Replacement Drones permitted under your Skydio Care package prior to the end of the twenty-four (24) month Coverage Period.
If the Coverage Period in the Skydio Care package that you purchase is for twelve (12) months, then you will not receive the Limited Warranty Extension. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Skydio Care One (1) Year package does not come with the Limited Warranty Extension but you will still receive the Limited Warranty which only covers hardware for the original twelve (12) month time period. You will have access to submit a claim under the Limited Warranty for the full twelve (12) month Coverage Period of your Skydio Care package, even if you have received the maximum number of Replacement Drones permitted under your Skydio Care package prior to the end of the twelve (12) month Coverage Period.
COVERAGE PERIOD
The Services provided under Skydio Care only apply to claims that occur during the applicable coverage time period (“Coverage Period”) in your Skydio Care package. Your Coverage Period is described in the Skydio Care package that you have purchased. The Coverage Period can either be twelve (12) months or twenty-four (24) months based on the Skydio Care package that you have purchased. The Skydio One (1) Year package comes with a twelve (12) month Coverage Period. The Skydio Two (2) Year package comes with a twenty-four (24) month Coverage Period. The Skydio Enterprise package comes with a twenty-four (24) month Coverage Period. The Coverage Period (whether twelve (12) months or twenty-four (24) months) will begin on the date of delivery of the Covered Drone, and not on the date of your purchase of Skydio Care. Most Skydio Care packages may be purchased within thirty (30) days of your purchase of the Covered Drone.
COVERAGE AREAS
The Services are only available to customers that purchase and operate the Covered Drone exclusively in the United States and Canada.
