You agree that: (a) you will use each Aero41 Hardware only in conformity with the applicable Aero41 manuals and safety guidelines; (b) you will use and maintain with due care, and will not deface, modify, use or operate any Aero41 Hardware in any illegal manner or for any illegal purpose in violation of any applicable international, federal, state, or local law or regulation that might be applicable; (c) you will not (and will not permit others to) remove, deface, or otherwise obstruct any regulatory or certification markers affixed to Aero41 Hardware; and (d) each Aero41 Hardware item will only be repaired subject to Aero41’s express written authorization and in accordance with Aero41’s instructions and requirements.

When using Aero41 Software to operate Aero41 Hardware, you agree to abide by all relevant statutes, rules, and regulations set forth by government, law enforcement, and regulatory agencies, including without limitation and as applicable the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). You agree to comply with all flight limitations, which may include height limits, distance limits, visual line of site, and No-Fly Zones. You agree that it is your responsibility to check with local authorities to confirm that your proposed flight path and plan conform with applicable laws and regulations and that your receipt and use of any Flight Environment Data (as defined below) does not relinquish this independent obligation. Before operating Aero41 Hardware using Aero41 Software, you agree that you understand the nature of your flight operation (e.g. for public use, or for commercial use) and you further agree to obtain all required approval and clearance from the related government agencies before flight. You should consult with your local regulators for comprehensive definitions and specific requirements. For specific countries Aero41 may stipulate further rules and regulations which will be highlighted to you in an appropriate manner. When using Aero41 Software to operate Aero41 Hardware, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Aero41 Hardware is conducted safely and in accordance with all local laws and regulations. By using Aero41 Software, and by entering into these Terms, you represent and warrant that your use of Aero41 Software complies and will comply with all applicable laws, statutes, and regulations, and that you will not use Aero41 Software except as expressly permitted under these Terms.

Flight Environment Data

Aero41 Software may include features that provide you with certain airspace and geographical data, including but not limited to the location of airports, restricted airspace, prohibited airspace, temporary flight restriction areas, power plants, stadiums and prisons, which are sometimes referred to by Aero41 as geofencing information, No Fly Zones or the Geospatial Environment Online (GEO) system (collectively, “Flight Environment Data”). Flight Environment Data is provided to you by Aero41 and its airspace information provider as a courtesy to you and for your informational purposes only – YOU MUST NOT RELY ON THE FLIGHT ENVIRONMENT DATA. You agree to consult and rely only upon official sources of aviation, agency, governmental and other aeronautical and geospatial information other than the Flight Environment Data in connection with your operation of any Aero41 Hardware. The fact that Aero41’s Flight Environment Data may not report a flight restriction in your intended operating area does not guarantee that your flight is safe or that it is legal to operate Aero41 Hardware in that location. Please note that Flight Environment Data may include information from aviation authorities, municipalities, or other publicly available sources, and any manned airspace information contained in the Flight Environment Data is typically updated at industry-standard twenty-eight (28) day intervals. If you choose not to operate your Aero41 Hardware using a device that maintains a live internet data connection, you will not receive the latest Flight Environment Data that Aero41 may be able to provide to you. You agree that you are solely responsible for the safety of your flight operation, including but not limited to obtaining any required governmental authorizations and maintaining a safe distance from manned and unmanned aircraft traffic, structures, vehicles, ground hazards, infrastructure, emergency personnel and people on the ground, and exercising reasonable judgment when evaluating whether or not it is safe to operate Aero41 Hardware at a given time or place. Aero41 is under no obligation to restrict you from flying your Aero41 Hardware in areas that pose safety or security concerns. In some instances, however, Aero41 may limit or disable the operation of the Aero41 Hardware in locations that raise safety or security concerns and these locations may change with or without notice when Aero41 determines that a location raises a safety or security concern.

Account Verification

Aero41 may enable you to “verify” your Aero41 account. Aero41 may grant users with verified accounts access to certain functions and features of the Service, including the ability to self-authorize or “unlock” flight operations in locations that are categorized by Aero41’s Geospatial Environment Online system as raising safety or security issues. Aero41 may verify your account by reviewing the validity of a personal credential, such as a payment card or mobile phone number. If you provide Aero41 with your mobile phone number, you expressly authorize Aero41, or their agents to transmit to you one or more text message numeric codes for the purpose of accomplishing the verification process. Your standard text messaging rates will apply. By providing Aero41 with credit card or debit card information, you expressly authorize Aero41, or their agents to contact your card issuer to confirm that the card number you provide is currently valid. By providing credential information to Aero41, you agree that Aero41 may retain credential information and provide such information, as well as your user login ID or email address, to government authorities, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies and other duly authorized parties as may be required by or permitted under applicable laws. By using a verified account to unlock or self-authorize flight operations in locations that are categorized by Aero41’s Geospatial Environment Online system as raising safety or security issues, you are authorizing Aero41 to disclose information about that decision to government authorities if Aero41 is required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with applicable laws, in response to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena, warrant or request, or to otherwise cooperate with law enforcement or other governmental agencies. Account verification may expire, and renewal is required at intervals determined by Aero41 and subject to change at Aero41’s sole discretion. Aero41 reserves the right to revoke account verification at its own discretion, for any or no reason.
