Description Of Services
General. Company provides a mobile and cloud platform for aircraft intelligence, management, and operations. The Services help aircraft owners track important maintenance information about the aircraft and learn more information about applicable airworthiness directives and service bulletins. You will be required to provide certain information into the Services, such as the pilot certification number, the aircraft make, model and serial number, aircraft maintenance service history, flights logged and fuel and oil usage. The majority of all interactions will be handled through the mobile application, and the website will be used for initial set-up, minor customer interactions, profile information, billing, and/or other account data management. You acknowledge and agree that (i) the information provided on the Services do not correlate with the safety and/or reliability of the aircraft, (ii) only an inspection authorization provided by a certified ‘FAA IA” mechanic can certify an aircraft has complied with necessary airworthiness directives, maintenance requirements, and is safe for flight; (iii) it is the aircraft’s pilot that shall make the final determination as to whether the aircraft is airworthy, safe, and lawful to fly; and Company shall have no liability related thereto.
If Company does not see history of compliance with required airworthiness directives or service bulletins as it relates to a particular aircraft, we will render that item as “overdue” on the Services dashboard. You may change the foregoing information by submitting a signed maintenance sticker from an ‘FAA’ certified mechanic indicating that the required work has in fact been performed.

Dispute Resolution
Disputes. We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case.

Before filing a claim against Company, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at [email protected] within fifteen (15) days of the incident that is being reported. We will try to resolve the dispute by contacting you via email, but if we cannot resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of submission, you and/or Company agree to resolve any claims related to this Terms of Use through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under ‘Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate’ section below and/or your ability to opt out as described below.

All information relating to and/or disclosed by any party in connection with the arbitration of any disputes hereunder shall be treated by the parties, their representatives, and the arbitrator as proprietary business information. Such information shall not be disclosed by any party or their respective representatives without the prior written authorization of the party furnishing such information. Such information shall not be disclosed by the arbitrator without the prior written authorization of all parties. Each party shall bear the burden of its own counsel fees incurred in connection with any arbitration proceedings. Judgment upon the award returned by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties or their assets or application of enforcement, as the case may be. Any award by the arbitrator shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties. The parties hereby waive all rights to judicial review of the arbitrator’s decision and any award contained therein.
Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Either you and/or Company may assert claims, if it qualifies, in small claims court in Mill Valley, California. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use and/or abuse of the Services, breach of Company’s confidential information and/or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright and/or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration and/or the informal dispute-resolution process described herein.

Description Of Services
General. Company provides a mobile and cloud platform for aircraft intelligence, management, and operations. The Services help aircraft owners track important maintenance information about the aircraft and learn more information about applicable airworthiness directives and service bulletins. You will be required to provide certain information into the Services, such as the pilot certification number, the aircraft make, model and serial number, aircraft maintenance service history, flights logged and fuel and oil usage. The majority of all interactions will be handled through the mobile application, and the website will be used for initial set-up, minor customer interactions, profile information, billing, and/or other account data management. You acknowledge and agree that (i) the information provided on the Services do not correlate with the safety and/or reliability of the aircraft, (ii) only an inspection authorization provided by a certified ‘FAA IA” mechanic can certify an aircraft has complied with necessary airworthiness directives, maintenance requirements, and is safe for flight; (iii) it is the aircraft’s pilot that shall make the final determination as to whether the aircraft is airworthy, safe, and lawful to fly; and Company shall have no liability related thereto.
If Company does not see history of compliance with required airworthiness directives or service bulletins as it relates to a particular aircraft, we will render that item as “overdue” on the Services dashboard. You may change the foregoing information by submitting a signed maintenance sticker from an ‘FAA’ certified mechanic indicating that the required work has in fact been performed.
