Last updated: June 3rd, 2026
Capitalized terms used but not defined in these Hardware Terms have the meanings given in the Master Services Agreement (MSA) between Customer and DroneDeploy, Inc. (Company). These Hardware Terms apply when Customer purchases Hardware through Company’s online store or Online Purchase Portal.
Sales of Hardware under these Hardware Terms are separate and independent from Customer’s subscription to, or purchase of, any Services under the MSA, and neither is contingent upon the other unless expressly stated in an Order Form. Access and use of this website is governed by DroneDeploy’s Privacy Policy.
These Hardware Terms form part of, and are governed by, the MSA. Without limiting the foregoing, the limitation of liability, indemnity, governing law, venue, class‑action waiver, and jury‑trial waiver provisions of the MSA apply to any dispute arising out of or relating to the Hardware or these Hardware Terms.
By placing an order for Hardware, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Company will collect, use, share and otherwise process Customer’s personal information as described in Company’s Privacy Policy, as updated from time to time and made available on Company’s website.
1. Hardware Resale and Fulfillment
1.1 Value‑Added Reseller. Company may make drones, sensors, accessories and other physical products available for purchase (Hardware). Customer acknowledges that Company acts as a value‑added reseller and that Hardware is supplied, shipped and fulfilled by third‑party manufacturers, distributors and resellers (each, a Hardware Partner), such as Drone Nerds, as identified at checkout or in the applicable order confirmation.
1.2 Third‑Party Software and Services. Hardware bundles may include third‑party software or services (Third‑Party Hardware Offerings).

1.3 Manufacturer and Hardware Partner Terms; Information Disclosure. As a condition of purchasing Hardware, Customer must agree to any terms and conditions presented by the applicable Hardware Partner and/or manufacturer at checkout or in the order process.
