**Who is considered a grandfathered user?**

If you purchased a Pod on or before January 1, 2022, you are considered a grandfathered user.

**What features do grandfathered users have access to?**

Grandfathered users get access to all features, including the ones provided by Autopilot Elite. Grandfathered users who own a Pod 4 or Pod 5, currently receive up to three maintenance inserts at no cost.

**Will I need to purchase an Autopilot membership if I purchase a new pod?**

Grandfathered status is on the user account and does not change regardless of which pod or device you connect.

**What warranty coverage do I get if I am a grandfathered user?**

By default, you will get a 2-year warranty coverage on your Pod purchase if you are a grandfathered user. If you want to explore options to extend your warranty please contact [support@eightsleep.com](mailto:support@eightsleep.com) 

  

**I purchased a Pod between January 1, 2022 and January 1, 2023. Am I a grandfathered user?**

If you purchased a Pod between January 1, 2022 and January 1, 2023, you are a legacy user. You are not a grandfathered user. As a legacy user, you have access to temperature schedules, reports, and alarms. You do not have access to Autopilot, snoring mitigation features, or Health Check.
