Meraki Support policy

Return policy terms may vary by region. Please refer to the Regional Return Policies section for region-specific terms.

Warranty Returns

Cisco Meraki stands behind its products. Cisco Meraki hardware products come with the following warranty periods:

*Original and replacement modular power supply units and fans for MS and MX Products included in lifetime warranty.

**Product lifetime ends concurrently with product End-of-Support (EOST) Date as described in Cisco Meraki’s End of Life (EOL) Policy.

***Warranty period for MV21, MV71, and MV2 is 3 years.

If you are experiencing hardware issues, for any product under warranty (as described above), please contact Cisco Meraki support by logging in to dashboard (Help > Get help) or by calling us.

To request a return materials authorization (RMA), please complete the RMA request form in the Meraki dashboard. If your RMA request is approved, Cisco Meraki will email you an RMA number and a return shipping label free of charge. We will ship replacement units within five business days of receiving your defective units. If no trouble is found, we will contact you before taking further action.

If you require advance replacement, please call Cisco Meraki technical support. Unless you have purchased Meraki Now, advance replacement orders will ship within 1 business day on a best case effort basis.

Additional information about Cisco Meraki’s hardware warranty can be found in Cisco Meraki’s End Customer Agreement.

Meraki Now

If you require replacement of Meraki products covered by Meraki Now services, please call Meraki technical support and request Meraki Now advance replacement. Please include the Meraki Now service tier and affected device serial number (SN) with your request.

Product Trial Returns

If you would like to return units from a product trial, please go to your product trial webpage (using the link your rep provided you with) and go to the returns tab to fill out the RMA request form. If your trial hardware was shipped to the US, Canada, or an EU member country you will also be able to print out a return shipping label and ship the product back to Cisco Meraki at no charge to you.

Refund Requests

Effective January 30, 2022, all new Cisco and Meraki orders submitted for hardware, and any attached software, will be non-cancellable and cannot be modified starting 45 days prior to the current estimated ship date. Meraki license-only orders are not impacted by this policy. Non-cancellable orders are not eligible for RMA credit and are not eligible for an RMA exception. For additional information, please contact your Meraki representative.

To request a refund for your license-only order, please complete our RMA request form. All returns must meet the following criteria:

1. You purchased the product through an authorized Cisco Meraki reseller or directly from Cisco Meraki
2. You are the original purchaser of the product
3. You submit your refund request within 30 days of purchase

If your refund request is approved, Cisco Meraki will email you an RMA number and we will process your return. If you purchased through a Cisco Meraki reseller, your refund will be issued by that reseller. If you purchased directly from Cisco Meraki, we will issue a refund, typically within 15 days of processing the return. (If you paid by credit card we will credit the original credit card. If you paid by any other method, we will send you a check.)

This privacy policy (this “Policy”) describes the collection of personal information and certain other information by Meraki, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Cisco Systems, Inc.

Meraki complies with the U.S. – E.U. Safe Harbor framework and the U.S. – Swiss Safe Harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal data from European Union member countries and Switzerland.

“Personal Information,” as used in this Policy, is information that specifically identifies an individual, such as an individual’s name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address. Personal Information also includes information, such as demographic information (e.g., date of birth, gender, geographic area, and preferences), when any of this information is linked to Personal Information that identifies that individual.

Personal Information does not include “aggregate” or other non-personally identifiable information. Aggregate information is information that we collect about a group or category of products, services, or users that is not personally identifiable or from which individual identities are removed. We may use and disclose aggregate information, and other non-personally identifiable information, for various purposes at our sole discretion and without notice or liability to you.

Collection of Voluntarily-Provided Information

We collect Personal Information that our users provide to us in a variety of ways on our Services. These include the following:

• E-mail Newsletters. We may offer e-mail newsletters from time to time on our Services. If you sign up to receive a newsletter from us, we collect your e-mail address.
• User Accounts and Profiles. Our Services may give you the ability to register for an account or to create and update a user profile. If we offer user account or profile functionality on the Services, we will collect the Personal Information that you provide to us in the course of registering for an account or creating or updating a user account or profile. This information may include, for example, name, postal address, telephone number, e-mail address, and related demographic information about you. We may indicate that some Personal Information is required for you to register for the account or to create the profile, while some is optional.
• Logging into Networks. Certain networks using our Services may require users to establish or use login credentials. In connection with supporting this log-on functionality, we may collect information such as email addresses, telephone numbers, or user or administrator-created usernames, along with user-created or administrator-created passwords, to facilitate such log-on functionality and otherwise to provide our Services.
• Correspondence. If you contact us by e-mail, using a contact form on the Services, or by other means, we collect the Personal Information contained within, and associated with, your correspondence.
• Contests and Sweepstakes. We and other business partners may conduct or sponsor special contests, sweepstakes, and other promotions that users may enter or otherwise participate in on our Services or otherwise. Certain of these promotions may be co-branded with one of our advertisers or other business partners. In these instances, the collection of your Personal Information may occur directly by the third-party partner on its website or other online service and may be shared with us. The promotion will state the privacy policy or policies governing the collection of such personal information.
• Testimonials. We display testimonials of satisfied customers on our site in addition to other endorsements. With your consent we may post your testimonial along with your name.
• Information Related to Data Collected for our Customers. Meraki collects information under the direction of its customers, and has no direct relationship with the individuals whose personal data it processes. If you are an individual who makes use of services offered by one of our customers and would no longer like to be contacted by that customer, please contact the customer that you interact with directly. We may transfer personal information to companies that help us provide our Services. Transfers to subsequent third parties are covered by the service agreements with our customers.

Passive Information Collection

When you use or visit our Services, some information is collected automatically. For example, when you access our Services, we automatically collect your browser’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type, the nature of the device from which you are visiting the Services (e.g., a personal computer or a mobile device), identifiers for any handheld or mobile device that you may be using, the Web site that you visited immediately prior to accessing any Web-based Services, the actions you take on our Services, and the content, features, and activities that you access and engage with on our Services. We also may collect information regarding your interaction with e-mail messages from Meraki, such as whether you opened, clicked on, or forwarded a message.

We may collect this information passively using technologies such as standard server logs, cookies, and clear GIFs (also known as “Web beacons”). We use passively-collected information to administer, operate, maintain and improve our Services and our other services and systems and to provide content that is tailored to you.

If we link or associate any information gathered through passive means with Personal Information, or if applicable laws require us to treat any information gathered through passive means as Personal Information, we treat the combined information as Personal Information under this Policy. Otherwise, we use and disclose information collected by passive means in aggregate form or otherwise in a non-personally identifiable form. Please be aware that in the course of your use of the Services, websites or other services provided by third parties (“Third-Party Services”), including marketing or website optimization vendors, may set cookies on your hard drive or use other means of passively collecting information about your use of their Third-Party Services or other services or content. To do this, they may use first-party cookies (which are set by the same domain your browser is receiving data from) or third-party cookies (which are set by a different domain). Meraki also may make non-personally identifiable information available to Third-Party Services, and these Third-Party Services may collect such information, to assist such parties in understanding our users’ activities and usage patterns on the Services. If desired, you may use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to opt-out of having information collected by Google Analytics.

We do not have access to, or control over, the actions of Third-Party Services. Each provider of Third-Party Services uses information that it collects in accordance with its own privacy and security policies.

Additionally, please be aware that Google and other third-party vendors may place or recognize one or more unique cookies on your computer when you use the Services, and may record information to these cookies based upon your activities on our Services and on third-party websites and other Third-Party Services. Google and these other third-party vendors may use information about those activities to inform, optimize, and serve advertisements. In particular, we may use Google and other third-party vendors to engage in “remarketing,” in which advertisements you see on third-party websites and services may be based on your prior visits to our Services.

To learn more about these practices, and to opt-out from Google’s and other vendors’ use of information collected on the Services through cookies for advertising purposes, you may visit Google’s Ads Preferences Manager, TRUSTe’s Preference Manager, or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page. Please note that opting-out will not prevent advertisements from being served to you on the Internet; it will only result in advertisements that utilize cookies to serve advertisements on the specified advertising networks from which you opt-out no longer being targeted. We are not responsible for the activities of other parties that may not comply with your opt-out requests.

We also use Google Conversion Tracking, which tracks whether users engage in certain activities (e.g., filling out a form to receive more information about our products or services) after they view one of our advertisements on a Third-Party Service. Google uses cookies to track conversions and to report that information to us.

Finally, please also be aware that we use the Google Maps API as a source of maps, geographic data, and geolocation information for purposes of providing location-based information regarding terminal devices connected to networks managed by our Services and for providing related reporting and analysis. Google may collect information, including personal information, from those who view content provided through the Google Maps API, and Google handles such information in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy.

Network Usage Information Collected by Our Services

Some of our Services collect information from terminal devices connected to networks that are managed by those Services. Those Services also collect information regarding the performance of, and certain other information regarding, such networks. This information includes, for example, MAC address, device type, operating system, geolocation information, and network traffic information (e.g., hostnames, protocols, port numbers, and IP addresses). This information is made available to administrators of networks managed by our Services through an online interface that we call the “dashboard”. Additionally, if a Meraki customer elects to use our device management tool currently known as Systems Manager (“Systems Manager”) and installs its software on, or configures the profile of, a mobile device or other device (e.g., a laptop computer) managed by Systems Manager, the customer or Meraki may undertake certain actions on the device, such as the following: (i) list, access, copy, move, and delete files; (ii) track and record device location over time; (iii) take and record screenshots; (iv) manage the device through remote desktop functionality; (v) set and enforce policies; and (vi) install/remove apps. Finally, for devices with Systems Manager installed or devices that utilize Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, we transmit certain geolocation information about those devices and the network(s) on which they are running to Google, which provides us with related geolocation information that we store and make available to network administrators through our dashboard as described above in this paragraph. Google handles the information that we provide to it in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy.

Information from Other Sources

We may receive information about you, including Personal Information, from affiliated and unaffiliated third parties, and may combine this information with other Personal Information we maintain about you in order to ensure we have accurate information. If we do so, this Policy governs any combined information that we maintain in personally identifiable format.

We use Personal Information and other information we collect to do any of the following: provide services to our customers; provide information and otherwise respond to your requests, including sales inquiries, email requests, and shipping requests; enhance, improve, operate, maintain, and debug the Website, our other Services, and our other programs, services, Web sites, and systems; improve the effectiveness of our Website as a marketing tool and optimize the performance of the Website and our other Services; prevent fraudulent use of our Services and other systems; to prevent or take action against activities that are, or may be, in violation of the Meraki End Customer Agreement, the Meraki Terms of Use, or applicable law; to tailor content and other aspects of your experience on and in connection with the Services; maintain a record of our dealings with you; for other administrative purposes; and for any other purposes that we may disclose to you at the point at which we request your Personal Information, and pursuant to your consent.

We may also use Personal Information you provide to contact you regarding products, services, and offers, both from ourselves and third parties, that we believe you may find of interest. We allow you to opt-out from receiving marketing communications from us as described in the “Choice” section below.

Except as described in this Policy, we will not disclose your Personal Information that we collect on the Services to third parties without your consent. We may disclose information to third parties if you consent to us doing so, as well as in the following circumstances:

Service Providers

We may disclose Personal Information to third-party service providers (e.g., payment processing and data storage and processing facilities) that assist us in our work. We limit the Personal Information provided to these service providers to that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions, and we require them to agree to maintain the confidentiality of such Personal Information.

Business Transfers

Information about our users, including Personal Information, may be disclosed and otherwise transferred to an acquirer, successor, or assignee as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of company assets, or similar transaction, as well as in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which Personal Information is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets.

To Affiliated Companies

We may disclose Personal Information and other information to our parent company and to other corporate affiliates of ours. These affiliated third-party companies may use and disclose Personal Information and other information that we disclose to them in accordance with their privacy policies and procedures.

To Channel Partners

We may disclose Personal Information and other information to channel partners, such as resellers, of ours. These third parties may use such Personal Information and other information that we disclose to them for purposes such as marketing our products and services to you.

To Protect our Interests

We also may disclose Personal Information and other information if we believe that doing so is legally required or is in our interest to protect our property or other legal rights (including, but not limited to, enforcement of our agreements) or the rights or property of others, or otherwise to help protect the safety or security of our Services or other users of the Services.

If you receive commercial e-mail from us, you may unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions contained within the e-mail. You may also opt-out from receiving commercial e-mail from us, and any other promotional communications that we may send to you from time to time (e.g., by postal mail) by sending your request to us by e-mail at privacy@meraki.com or by writing to us at the address given at the end of this policy. Additionally, if we offer user account functionality on the Services, we may allow you to view and modify settings relating to the nature and frequency of promotional communications that you receive from us.

Please be aware that if you opt-out of receiving commercial e-mail from us, it may take up to ten business days for us to process your opt-out request, and you may receive commercial e-mail from us during that period. Additionally, even after you opt-out from receiving commercial messages from us, you will continue to receive administrative messages from us regarding our Services.

You may choose to opt-out of the sharing of your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes at any time by e-mailing us at opt-out@meraki.com. Once we receive your opt-out request, we will no longer disclose your Personal Information to third-parties for their direct marketing purposes. Please be aware that this opt-out does not prohibit disclosures of Personal Information or other information made for non-direct marketing purposes.

If we offer the ability to create user accounts or profiles on our Services, you may have the ability to access and update certain categories of Personal Information that you provide to us by logging in to your account and accessing your account settings. If you wish to access, amend, or delete any other Personal Information we hold about you, you may contact us at privacy@meraki.com.

If you request access to your account including deletion requests on any of our Services (via a user settings page, by e-mail, or otherwise) including requests to remove testimonials that contain Personal Information, we will respond to your access requests within 30 days. Please note that we may need to retain some of your Personal Information in order to satisfy our legal obligations, or where we reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do so.

Please note that Meraki has no direct relationship with the individuals whose personal data we process on behalf of our customers. An individual who seeks access, or who seeks to correct, amend, or delete inaccurate data should direct his or her query to our customer (the data controller). If the customer requests Meraki to remove the data, we will respond to their request within 30 days.

We will retain personal data we process on behalf of our customers for as long as needed to provide services to our customer. Meraki will retain and use this personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

The Services may contain links to other Web sites or other Third-Party Services that we do not own or operate. If you choose to visit or use any Third-Party Services or products or services available on or through such Third-Party Services, please be aware that this Policy will not apply to your activities or any information you disclose while using those Third-Party Services or any products or services available on or through such Third-Party Services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these Third-Party Services or any products or services on or through them. Additionally, the Services may contain links to Web sites and services that we operate but that are governed by different privacy policies. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies applicable to any Web site or service you visit other than the Services before providing any Personal Information on them.

Children’s safety is important to us, and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active interest in the online activities of their children. Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 13 without obtaining parental consent. If we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child under the age of 13 on our Services, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we may have collected any such Personal Information on our Services, please notify us at privacy@meraki.com.

Many of our servers and data centers are located in the United States. If you choose to use the Services from outside the U.S., then you should know that you may be transferring your Personal Information outside of your region and into the U.S. for storage and processing. By providing your Personal Information to us through your use of the Service, you agree to that transfer, storage, and processing in the U.S. Also, we may transfer your data from the U.S. to other countries or regions in connection with storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating the Services. You should know that each region can have its own privacy and data security laws, some of which may be less stringent as compared to those of your own region.

We use certain security measures in an effort to protect Personal Information from accidental loss, disclosure, misuse, and destruction. The security of your Personal Information and our customers’ information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as login credentials) we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Please be aware, however, that no data security measures can be guaranteed to be completely effective. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you provide to us. You transmit information to us at your own risk.

If Meraki learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. Meraki may post a notice through the Services if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive a free written notice of a security breach, you should notify us at privacy@meraki.com.

We may occasionally update this Policy. When we do, we will post the updated Policy and revise the “last updated” date at the beginning of the Policy. If we change this Policy in a manner that materially alters your rights or obligations under this Policy, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you of the change. For example, we may send a message to your email address, if we have one on file, or generate a pop-up or similar notification when you access the Service for the first time after such material changes are made. We encourage you to periodically review this Policy to stay informed about how we collect, use, and disclose Personal Information. Your continued use of the Services after the revised Policy has become effective indicates that you have read, understood and agreed to the current version of this Policy.

Orders

All orders will generally be processed the same day and shipped within 2 business days. Once the order is processed, the customer will receive a confirmation email. Delays may occur in case of missing information, special shipping requests, and if import/export related verification is required.

Order Number

A single Cisco CCW Sales Order can be transmitted to Meraki as multiple Meraki orders due to the below scenarios and will ship separately. Shipping charges will be billed per Meraki order, not per the SO as a whole.

• Duplicate PID
• Different License duration
• Different license addition for MX only (ENT/SEC)
• Different ship ID address
• Different end user ID
• Different request ship date
• Different freight account #
• Different ship method

P.O. Boxes

For most addresses, PO Boxes are not acceptable delivery addresses. If your shipping address must include a PO Box, Cisco Meraki cannot guarantee delivery.

Sales Tax and VAT

In accordance with applicable law, Cisco Meraki collects sales tax or VAT in regions where Cisco Meraki has a presence. Sales tax or VAT will be applied to the total amount of the order and is based on the shipment’s destination and local sales tax or VAT rates.

Special Delivery Requirements

In case you require any special service for your delivery such as a lift gate or indoor delivery service, or have special export/import requirements, please make sure to let your seller know to include this information on the PO or open a case on the Cisco Customer Service Portal prior order submission to allow sufficient time for the Cisco-Meraki shipping team to review and advise.

International Certifications

Cisco Meraki has products certified in countries all over the world. If you have specific questions regarding Cisco Meraki certifications, please contact your sales representative.

Canceling or Modifying an Order

Orders can be modified or canceled before they have entered the shipping process. Once the shipment is in transit the shipping address can no longer be modified. Please take special care when processing the order to ensure the shipping address is correct and able to accept the delivery. However, if you do require adjustments prior to the shipment, please contact your seller/reseller/distributor or open an urgent case in the Cisco Customer Service Portal as soon as possible. You may be responsible for any applicable adjustment, handling and/or shipping fees if applicable.

Shipping and Delivery

Shipping Confirmation

Once your order has been shipped, a shipping notification email will be sent to the email listed in your Purchase Order, containing the tracking number of the shipment and the License Key. In case you ordered the license separately from the hardware product, the License Key will be sent on a separate email.

Shipping Methods

Opt In (Cisco-routed) program allows the customer to rely on Cisco’s preferred carrier network, typically gives full end to end tracking visibility for parcel shipments, most freight shipments, and eliminates the need for partner/customer carrier information to be provided. However, the Cisco-routed program does not place liability for lost/damaged shipments wholly on Cisco Meraki. To determine when risk/liability is transferred, refer to the Incoterms. Once ownership of the goods has changed from Cisco Meraki per the Incoterms, goods should not be sent back to Cisco without first obtaining a Return Material Authorization (RMA) from Cisco.

Opt Out (self-routed) shipping preference allows the partner or customer to select their own carrier. Cisco Meraki has the ability to ship with most carriers, and the shipping cost will be the responsibility of the bill to party. If there are any concerns with the carrier selected, Cisco Meraki will contact the partner or customer.

Incoterms, Duties & Taxes

Cisco Meraki will send shipments with a variety of Incoterms depending on the customer agreement. Incoterms determine and differentiate between the seller’s and the buyer’s responsibility. In the majority of cases, the “bill to” party on the order will be the importer of record and will be responsible for all duties & taxes, VAT, brokerage or other fees. In some cases, third party billing for duty & tax is not available in the destination country and the receiver/”ship to” will be responsible for these fees.

Loss/Damage

In the unlikely scenario that you receive your delivery damaged or missing cartons, please accept the shipment and notate as such with the carrier upon delivery. Upon receiving the shipment, take photos to provide supporting information when filing a RMA claim with Cisco Customer Service to assist in the investigation.
