The system is yours.
You buy Varsity once and your program owns it. No annual payment is required simply to keep using the hardware, and there is nothing to send back at the end of a season.
Every system includes a 1-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
That warranty does not cover accidental damage, in-play breakage, impact damage, loss or theft, cosmetic damage that does not affect operation, intentional abuse, or unauthorized modification.
Baseball and softball are hard on equipment. If you want breakage covered, that is what DiamondCare is for — and it is your choice, not a line item you are forced to carry.
