Ring Appstore Schedule

The terms of this Schedule apply if you use any Ring Materials (defined below) and are incorporated into the terms of the Amazon Developer Services Agreement, available at https://developer.amazon.com/support/legal/da. The Amazon Party for the purpose of this Schedule is Ring LLC ("Ring").

  1. The Ring Appstore. The Ring Appstore provides a marketplace where end users can discover and access Ring Appstore Apps (as defined below) that enhance their Ring experience. The Ring Appstore Program enables you to create Apps that integrate with the services, features, products, and applications provided by Ring (the "Ring Services"). Through the Ring Appstore, end users can consent to share certain device data with your Apps (each, a "Ring Appstore App"), and you may offer Apps intended to be accessed or used within your Ring Appstore App (collectively, the "Ring Enabled Offering") via a recurring subscription or one time-fee basis. For purposes of the Agreement, Ring Appstore Apps and Ring Enabled Offerings are "Apps." Any Program Materials we make available to enable access to the Ring Service through Ring Enabled Offerings or to facilitate the development of Ring Enabled Offerings are "Ring Materials." For clarity, a Ring Enabled Offering does not include any functionality, features, services, or offerings you provide that do not utilize the Ring Appstore Program, Ring Materials, or Ring Services.

  2. Program Requirements. You must comply with the Ring Appstore Program Requirements, available at here, which are subject to change from time to time. (the "Ring Appstore Program Requirements"). We may place limits on the use of certain Ring Materials, including restricting their use in certain devices and applications. If your Ring Enabled Offerings exceed certain usage thresholds, your continued use of Ring Enabled Offerings may be subject to additional terms. Upon request, you will provide us with reasonable access to the systems, hardware, software, and records related to your Ring Enabled Offerings and your use of the Ring Materials to allow us to verify your compliance with this Agreement.

We may also withhold and offset any sums you owe to us against amounts that are payable to you.

While your Ring Enabled Offering is available for distribution, you will submit any patch notes and other updates to the Product Information as soon as they are available. You will ensure that all of your Content complies with this Agreement and the Ring Appstore Program Requirements. You will not submit any Content that contains any software or other materials that are subject to licenses or restrictions (e.g., open source software licenses) that, when combined with additional software or other materials (collectively "additional items"), would require us to disclose, license, distribute or otherwise make all or any part of such additional items available to anyone.

Unless we indicate otherwise in writing, any withdrawal of a Ring Enabled Offering does not relieve you of responsibility to ensure the Ring Enabled Offering complies with the Agreement or to perform other obligations under the Agreement, including, but not limited to, fulfilling any paid subscription term. In the event you provide a withdrawal request which you've designated as necessary because of an unexpected loss of (or third party claim related to) the rights required under the Agreement, we will remove the Ring Enabled Offering from the Ring Appstore Program as soon as practicable. You will immediately notify us if you unexpectedly lose such rights or become aware of a third party claim related to these rights.

    d. Promotion.

    e. Additional Rights. In addition, we may exercise any ancillary rights relating to your Content that are reasonably necessary to effectuate the intent of the grants of rights contained in the Agreement, such as the rights to encode and to publicly perform. We may also sublicense our rights in Product Information under this Agreement to third parties operating affiliated websites or mobile points of presence. Nothing in this Agreement restricts us from exercising any right available to us under applicable law or any separate license.

    f. EULA. You may provide an end user license agreement with any Ring Enabled Offering if it complies with the requirements of, and is not inconsistent with, the Agreement.

  6. Support. You will provide reasonable technical and product support for your Content as requested by end users or us or as described in our Ring Appstore Program Requirements. You will provide front line support for end users and resolve basic support issues. You will respond to our support requests or support requests we identify as critical within twenty-four (24) hours. Your technical support will include levels of availability, response times and technical skills that are at least equivalent to those for the support you provide to end users of Similar Services. A "Similar Service" is any online service that makes any digital products or services similar to those sold, distributed, or promoted through the Program available to end users using a mode of sale or distribution similar to those used by the Program, including any mobile or Internet-based application marketing, sales, and distribution service.

Sections 2 through 8 of this Schedule and any other provisions that, by their nature, are intended to survive, will survive any termination of the Agreement.
