Devices Purchased From an Authorized Third Party Dealer
Devices Purchased From an Un-Authorized Third Party Reseller
We will not accept returns or exchanges from an un-authorized third party reseller under any circumstances. Please refer to our list of Authorized Resellers before purchasing your SkyBell device.
Important information about your rights and obligations as well as limitations and exclusions that may apply to you.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or allow limitations on how long an implied warranty or condition may last, so the limitations or exclusions described below may not apply to you to the extent they are inconsistent with your state’s applicable law. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights under state law.
Do not attempt to power your SkyBell with an improper power configuration. Information regarding all supported power configurations can be found at https://skybell.com/index.php/support/ (power configuration diagrams).
Failure to strictly adhere to our power configuration guidelines will automatically void this limited warranty.
SkyBell Limited Warranty
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Limited Warranty, SkyBell Technologies, Inc. (“SBT”), warrants to you only (the original purchaser), that under normal use, the SkyBell Wi-Fi enabled video doorbell (the “Product”) will substantially conform with the specifications listed on our website (skybelldealer.com) and be free of reproducible defects that eliminate the functionality or successful operation of a feature critical to the primary functionality or successful operation of the Product for a period of one (1) year from the date of your Product purchase (the “Warranty Period”). This Limited Warranty only applies to Products purchased from SkyBell or an Authorized Reseller.
During the Warranty Period, SBT will, at its sole option, repair or replace any Product or parts of a Product that fail in normal use. Such repairs or replacement will be made at no charge to the customer for parts or labors. SBT retains the exclusive right to replace the Product with a new or refurbished “like new” Product in its sole discretion. A replacement Product or part assumes the remaining warranty of the original Product or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a Product or part is exchanged, any replacement item becomes your property and the replaced item becomes SBT’s property.
There is no warranty of any kind for any defects discovered after the Warranty Period has lapsed.
Such remedy shall be your sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this limited warranty.
To receive instructions for obtaining repair or replacement warranty services you must e-mail: [email protected] You must receive shipping instructions and an RMA tracking number from SBT prior to shipping your device to us. Write the RMA tracking number clearly on the outside of the package. Send the device, freight charges prepaid, to the address on the RMA label.
Submit proof of purchase in the form of a bona fide, dated bill of sale, receipt, or invoice (or a copy) from an Authorized Reseller evidencing that your request for service is made within the Warranty Period; and
Follow shipping and other instructions to ensure the Product has an adequate degree of protection against damage during transit to the location specified by SBT. Except as otherwise required by legislation in your jurisdiction, costs associated with transport (including packaging) for warranty service shall be at your expense.
Exchanging Your Device
If we provide you with warranty service by sending you a replacement device, you will be required to return your original device to us. In the event we do not receive your original device within 30 days of sending your replacement device, you hereby agree that we have the right to charge you for the full retail price of the replacement device and/or not send you a replacement device. Full retail price shall be equal to the sale price on our website (skybelldealer.com) not including sales, promotions or other discounts.
In addition to any other remedies available to us, if we have shipped a new device to you and we have not received your original device within 30 days from the initiation of the return process, we shall have the right to terminate your original device and/or your replacement.
The warranties and remedies contained herein are exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties expressed, implied, or statutory, including any liability arising under any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, statutory or otherwise. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, which may vary from state to state.
The express warranty stated herein is the only express warranty made to you and is provided in lieu of all other express or implied warranties and conditions (if any) including any created by any other documentation or packaging. No other warranties or conditions are made with respect to the product or the warranty services by any person, including but not limited to SBT and its suppliers. No information (oral or written) or suggestions given by SBT, its agents or suppliers, or its or their employees, shall create a warranty or condition or expand the scope of this limited warranty. Also, there is no warranty or condition of title, quiet enjoyment, or non-infringement in the product. You may have greater rights existing under legislation in your jurisdiction. Where such laws prohibit any term of this limited warranty, it shall be null and void, but the remainder of the limited warranty shall remain in full force and effect.
Without limiting the generality of the disclaimers contained herein, all product information is provided for your convenience, “as is”, and “as available”. SBT does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that product information will be available, accurate, or reliable.
SBT may also provide or sell products which are intended to be used with your SkyBell (“product peripherals”). You use the product, all product information, and the product peripherals at your own risk. You will be solely responsible for (and SBT disclaims) any liability, or damages, including but not limited to your wiring, fixtures, electricity, home, product, product peripherals, computer, mobile device, and all other items and pets in your home, resulting from your use of the product, product information, or product peripherals.
Exclusion of Consequential, Incidental, and Certain Other Damages, and Limitation of Liability
To the full extent allowed by law, SBT is not liable for any:
consequential or incidental damages;
damages or loss of any nature whatsoever relating to lost profits, loss of or damage to personal property, loss of data or privacy or confidentiality, any inability to use all or part of the product, personal injury, or any failure to meet any duty (including but not limited to any lack of negligence or of workmanlike effort); or
indirect, special, or punitive damages arising out of relating in any way to the SkyBell product.
SBT’s cumulative liability, whether for breach of contract, warranty, negligence, strict liability in tort, indemnification, contribution, or otherwise, shall be limited to the direct damages recoverable under law, but not to exceed the purchase price for the SkyBell product. You hereby release SBT, its manufacturers, service providers, licensors and each of their respective affiliates, from any and all obligations, liabilities, and claims in excess of this limitation. SBT is also not liable for any costs or damages arising from or related to your breach of this agreement. SBT, its manufacturers, service providers, licensors and each of their respective affiliates, disclaim any representation that it will be able to repair any product under this limited warranty or make a product exchange without risk to or loss of programs or data. All claims by you, whether in tort, contract, strict liability or otherwise, must be brought within two years from the date the cause of action accrues. This limitation of liability constitutes an essential part of this agreement.
The foregoing applies even if SBT or any supplier or agent has been advised of the possibility of such losses or damages; even in the event of fault, tort (including negligence), strict or product liability, misrepresentation or other reason; and even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose.
SBT products are intended to be used as a notification system for the front doors of homes and businesses. SkyBell is not intended to be used as an alarm system, security system or theft deterrent. SkyBell makes no claim or representation that it will keep you or your property safe.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. If any term of this limited warranty is held to be illegal or unenforceable, the legality or enforceability of the remaining terms shall not be affected or impaired.
Damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, water, flood, fire, or other acts of nature or external causes.
Damage caused by service performed by anyone who is not an authorized service provider of SBT.
Damage to a product that has been modified or altered without the written permission of SBT.
Any damage or defects caused by rough handling or extreme thermal or environmental conditions or a rapid change in such conditions, corrosion, oxidation, unauthorized modifications or connections, unauthorized opening or repair, repair by use of unauthorized spare parts, accidents, forces of nature, or other actions beyond the reasonable control of SBT.
Any damage or defects caused by operating the product outside of the permitted or intended uses described on SBT’s website.
Damage caused during installation of a Product.
Damage caused by connecting SkyBell to an improper power configuration.
Cosmetic damage, such as scratches, nicks and dents.
In addition, SBT reserves the right to refuse warranty claims against products or services that are obtained and/or used in contravention of the laws of any country.
Devices returned from outside the US and Canada may not be able to be returned due to an act of God, war, embargo or other act by one or more sovereign nations limiting commerce between the US and another country or some other action or event outside SBT’s control. Return of devices from outside the US and Canada is at your own risk. SBT is not responsible for providing a replacement device if, in SBT’s sole discretion, it cannot successfully or legally ship a product to an international destination.
Reseller Limitations
This Warranty only applies to devices purchased from us or an Authorized Reseller. SkyBell devices purchased from unauthorized dealers and/or individuals reselling new or used devices, are not eligible to receive Warranty service or a refund of any kind.
The limited warranty is subject to change from time to time at SBT’s sole discretion.

13. Removing a Device from an Account
In order to deter theft, each Device can only be associated with one customer account at any given time. Therefore if a third party were to take your Device and attempt to sync your Device with another account, the Device activation would fail, and the Device would be unusable to that third party.
You can remove your Device from your account through the Mobile App. If you would like us to remove a Device from an account not owned by you, you must provide the Device ID, and a proof of purchase less than three (3) weeks old. We also reserve the right to contact the account holder of record to notify them that you are attempting to remove a Device from their account.

i. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; Class Action
For the purpose of this provision, "SBT" means SBT and its parents, subsidiary, and affiliate companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents.
The term "Dispute" means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and SBT regarding any aspect of your relationship with SBT, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability, or scope of this provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). "Dispute" is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced, and shall include any claims against other parties relating to services or products provided or billed to you (such as SBT’s licensors, suppliers, dealers, or third-party vendors) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding.
Contact us first. If a Dispute arises between you and SBT, our goal is to learn about and address your concerns. You agree that you will notify SBT about any Dispute you have with SBT regarding these Terms or our Devices or Services by contacting SBT. Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to a customer’s satisfaction by contacting us at [email protected] This provision facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any Disputes that may arise between you and SBT. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a Dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court, and to a jury trial, and instead submit their Disputes to a neutral third person (or arbitrator) for a binding decision. You have the right to opt out of this provision (as explained below), which means you would retain your right to litigate your Disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury.
All Disputes between you and SBT shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this arbitration agreement, you may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). Except as otherwise provided, entering into this agreement constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees).
ii. Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution
For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give SBT an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by mailing written notification of your Dispute to SBT. That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If SBT does not resolve the Dispute within 60 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.
iii. Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt Out
Notwithstanding the above, you or SBT may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute qualifies, in which case it may be initiated in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT (the "Opt-Out Deadline"). You may opt out of this provision by mailing written notification to SBT. Your written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve Disputes with SBT through arbitration. Your decision to opt out of this Arbitration provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with SBT. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.
If this provision applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above (Pre- Arbitration Claim Resolution), either you or SBT may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), www.adr.org, or JAMS will arbitrate all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this provision.
For arbitration before the AAA for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or may be obtained by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols for Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or may be obtained by calling 1-800-352-5267. This provision governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.
Location of Arbitration - You or SBT may initiate arbitration in either Orange County, California or the federal judicial district that includes your billing address. In the event that you select the federal judicial district that includes your billing address, SBT may transfer the arbitration to Orange County, California if it agrees to pay any additional fees or costs you incur as a result of the transfer, as determined by the arbitrator.
Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs – SBT will pay all arbitration filing fees and arbitrator’s costs and expenses upon your written request given prior to the commencement of the arbitration. You are responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses. Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. In addition to any rights to recover fees and costs under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with SBT as provided in the Section above titled "Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution" and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.
Except as otherwise provided in this provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action, or private attorney general action) unless both you and SBT specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of the Arbitration provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other user of the Site can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.
vi. Jury Waiver
You understand and agree that by entering into this Agreement you and SBT are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this provision, you and SBT might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited or may also be waived.
viii. Continuation
This provision shall survive the termination of your service with SBT or its affiliates. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if SBT makes any change to this provision (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change and require SBT to adhere to the language in this provision if a Dispute between us arises.
ix. Waiver of Rights
The failure of SBT to exercise any of their respective rights under this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver, nor shall such failure in any way prevent SBT from subsequently asserting or exercising such rights.
x. Time Limit to Bring Claims
No suit or action may be brought against SBT more than one year after the date of the incident that resulted in the loss, injury, or damage, or the shortest duration permitted under applicable law if greater than one year.
29. Copyright Dispute Policy
SBT has adopted the following general policy toward copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or DMCA (posted at www.lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/legislation/dmca.pdf). The address of SBT’s Designated Agent to Receive Notification of Claimed Infringement (“Designated Agent”) is listed at the end of this Section. It is SBT’s policy to (1) block access to or remove material that it believes in good faith to be copyrighted material that has been illegally copied and distributed by any of our advertisers, affiliates, content providers, members or users; and (2) remove and discontinue service to repeat offenders.
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing including information regarding the location of the infringing materials that the copyright owner seeks to have removed, with sufficient detail so that SBT is capable of finding and verifying its existence;
Once proper bona fide infringement notification is received by the Designated Agent, it is SBT’s policy:
that repeat offenders will have the infringing material removed from the system and that SBT will terminate such content provider’s, member’s or user’s access to the Services.
Content provider’s, member’s or user’s name, address, telephone number, and, if available, email address, and a statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the content provider’s, member’s or user’s address is located, or, if the content provider’s, member’s or user’s address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which SBT is located, and that such person or entity will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, SBT may send a copy of the counter- notice to the original complaining party informing that person that SBT may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 to 14 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at SBT’s discretion.
Please contact SBT’s Designated Agent to Receive Notification of Claimed Infringement at the following address:
Edward Weiss Esq.
1 Jenner, Suite 100
The failure of either party to exercise, in any respect, any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. SBT shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond SBT’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation (including “line-noise” interference). If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent. SBT may transfer, assign or delegate this Agreement and its rights and obligations without consent. Both parties agree that this Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and that all modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind SBT in any respect whatsoever.
