Terms of Service
Version 2026-05-17 · Effective 5/17/2026
1. Agreement
By creating an account, accessing, or using Av8Book (the "Service"), you ("You," "Customer," or "User") agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you are accepting on behalf of a company, flight school, or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "You" refers to that entity. The individual accepting these Terms personally represents and warrants such authority.
2. The Service
Av8Book provides a multi-tenant cloud-hosted scheduling, billing, training-records, and operational platform for flight schools and similar aviation businesses. The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE"without warranty of any kind. We may add, remove, or change features at any time with or without notice. We do not guarantee that any specific feature will continue to be available, that the Service will meet Your requirements, or that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.
3. Customer Operational Responsibilities — Downtime Procedure
You acknowledge and agree that Av8Book is a tool intended to support, not replace, Your business operations. Aviation operations are safety-critical. Outages, software bugs, network failures, third-party service degradation, scheduled maintenance, denial-of-service attacks, and similar events can and will occur from time to time, with or without advance notice.
You represent, warrant, and covenant on a continuing basis that:
- You maintain a written, tested, and operationally available downtime procedure sufficient to allow Your business operations (scheduling, dispatch, billing, training records, and any other safety-relevant function) to continue when the Service is unavailable, degraded, or returns inaccurate data for any reason and for any length of time.
- You do not rely on the Service as the sole source of truth for any record required to be maintained under applicable aviation regulation (including without limitation 14 CFR Parts 61, 91, 135, 141, 142, and any successor or analogous foreign regulation). You maintain independent backups, paper copies, or other records sufficient to satisfy Your regulatory obligations.
- You do not rely on automated reminders, alerts, or maintenance-tracking output of the Service as the sole determinant of airworthiness, currency, qualification, or regulatory compliance. The pilot in command and the operator remain solely responsible for those determinations under applicable regulation.
- You instruct Your personnel and end users (instructors, dispatchers, students, mechanics, and renters) on Your downtime procedure and on the limitations of the Service set forth in these Terms.
- Minor end users.For any end user under thirteen (13) years of age whose information is entered into the Service, You have obtained verifiable parental consent compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (15 U.S.C. § 6501 et seq.) and its implementing regulations. For any end user under eighteen (18) years of age, You have obtained any parental or guardian consent required by applicable state law (including without limitation any consent required for the collection of aviation-training, regulatory, or biometric information). You will retain documentation of such consent and produce it to us within ten (10) business days of a written request. You are solely responsible for SMS opt-in performed on behalf of a minor by the minor's parent or guardian as described in our Privacy Policy.
Failure to maintain or follow Your downtime procedure, or to obtain and retain the parental and guardian consents described above, is solely Your responsibility. We are not liable for any consequence arising from Your failure to do so.
4. No Warranty — Disclaimer
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, including without limitation the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, quiet enjoyment, system integration, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or course of performance.
Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that:
- The Service will be uninterrupted, available at any particular time, or free of bugs, defects, or errors;
- The Service will meet Your requirements or expectations;
- Data displayed in or generated by the Service is accurate, complete, or current;
- Defects in the Service will be corrected within any particular time period or at all;
- The Service will operate in combination with any third-party hardware, software, system, or data You select;
- The Service will provide adequate notice of any maintenance, expiration, currency, or compliance event.
5. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:
- EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES.In no event will we, our affiliates, our licensors, our service providers, or any of our or their officers, directors, employees, agents, or contractors (collectively, the "Av8Book Parties") be liable to You or to any third party for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages of any kind, including without limitation: lost profits; lost revenue; loss of goodwill; loss of business opportunity; loss of data, records, content, or training records; cost of procurement of substitute goods or services; cost of cover; business interruption; missed reservations or flights; cancellation fees; FAA or other regulatory penalties; damage to reputation; or any damage arising from delay, downtime, outage, defect, error, inaccuracy, or unavailability of the Service, regardless of the form of action (whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, statute, or otherwise) and even if an Av8Book Party has been advised of the possibility of such damages or such damages were foreseeable.
- CAP ON DIRECT DAMAGES.The aggregate liability of all Av8Book Parties to You for any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms (whether in contract, tort, statute, or otherwise) will not exceed the lesser of (a) the amount You actually paid to Av8Book for the Service in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100). This cap applies in the aggregate across all claims and is not multiplied by the number of incidents or claimants.
- BASIS OF THE BARGAIN. You acknowledge that the pricing of the Service reflects this allocation of risk; that we would not enter into these Terms without these limitations; and that these limitations form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties and apply notwithstanding the failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy.
- CARVE-OUTS.Nothing in this Section limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including without limitation liability for: (a) gross negligence or willful misconduct; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (c) death or bodily injury caused by an Av8Book Party's negligence; (d) infringement or misappropriation of a party's intellectual property rights as expressly indemnified in these Terms; or (e) Customer's payment obligations. The exclusions and cap in subsections (1)–(2) above apply to the fullest extent permitted by law and only to those liabilities that may be limited.
6. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Av8Book Parties from and against any claim, demand, action, suit, regulatory proceeding, fine, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) brought by any third party arising out of or relating to:
- Your use of the Service in violation of these Terms or applicable law;
- Your or Your end users' aviation operations, including any incident, accident, injury, death, or property damage;
- Your reliance on, or failure to maintain operations during the unavailability of, the Service in lieu of Your downtime procedure;
- Your failure to maintain independent records sufficient to satisfy Your regulatory obligations;
- Any content, data, or information You upload to or generate within the Service, including allegations of infringement, defamation, or privacy violations;
- Disputes between You and Your end users (students, instructors, renters, customers).
7. Service Levels — No SLA
Unless You have a separate written enterprise agreement with us that expressly provides a service level agreement, the Service is provided without any service level commitment, uptime guarantee, response time guarantee, or credits of any kind. Scheduled maintenance, emergency maintenance, and outages caused by upstream providers (cloud infrastructure, payment processors, email/SMS providers, identity providers) are expressly excluded from any expectation of availability. We may, at our sole discretion, perform maintenance at any time with or without notice.
8. Acceptable Use
You will not, and will not permit Your end users to:
- Use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
- Use the Service to transmit malware, send unsolicited communications, or impersonate any person;
- Attempt to probe, scan, or test the security or vulnerability of the Service or any related infrastructure without our prior written authorization;
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service;
- Resell, sublicense, lease, or commercially exploit the Service, except that providing the Service to Your end users (students, instructors, renters) within Your organization is expressly permitted;
- Use automated means to access the Service in a manner that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure;
- Misrepresent any signature, endorsement, certification, regulatory record, or other attestation generated by or transmitted through the Service.
9. Customer Data
You retain all rights to data You upload to the Service ("Customer Data"). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, transmit, display, and create derivative works of Customer Data solely as necessary to provide and improve the Service, comply with law, and enforce these Terms. You represent that You have all rights necessary to grant this license and that Customer Data does not violate any third-party right.
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to back up Customer Data, but You remain responsible for maintaining Your own backups. We are not liable for any loss or corruption of Customer Data, whether caused by us, You, a third party, or any other cause.
Data Processing Agreement. Where Av8Book processes personal data on Your behalf as a processor (within the meaning of applicable data-protection law, including the EU/UK GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act), the terms of our Data Processing Agreement(the "DPA") apply to such processing and are incorporated into these Terms by reference. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the DPA with respect to the processing of personal data, the DPA controls.
Personal-data-breach notification. We will notify You of any confirmed Personal Data Breach (as defined in the DPA) affecting Customer Data without undue delay and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of our confirmation of the breach. The notice will include the information reasonably required for You to meet Your own notification obligations under applicable law, supplemented as additional information becomes available. This commitment does not constitute an admission of fault or liability.
10. Payment, Subscriptions, and Refunds
Subscription fees are charged in advance, are non-refundable, and are not pro-rated on cancellation. Upon termination, You will continue to have access through the end of the current billing period. Per-aircraft and per-feature fees are described on the pricing page in effect at the time of Your purchase. We may change pricing on thirty (30) days' notice. Late payments accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum allowed by law.
11. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate Your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including without limitation: breach of these Terms, non-payment, suspected fraudulent or illegal activity, or risk to the integrity of the Service or other customers. Termination does not relieve You of accrued payment obligations and does not entitle You to a refund.
12. Third-Party Services
The Service integrates with third-party services (Stripe for payments, Resend for email, Twilio for SMS, Supabase for hosting, QuickBooks for accounting, MyFlightbook / LogTen Pro / ForeFlight for logbook export, and others). We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, security, or terms of any third-party service. Disruptions to a third-party service may cause the corresponding feature of our Service to be unavailable; You agree such disruptions are excluded from any expectation of availability under these Terms.
13. SMS Communications — A2P 10DLC
The Service includes an optional Application-to-Person (A2P) text messaging program registered through Twilio under the U.S. mobile industry's 10DLC framework. The data-handling, opt-in, and opt-out terms of that program are described in Section 6 of our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference. The following operational terms also apply.
- Express consent.SMS delivery is off by default and requires per-user verification of the user's mobile number. Customers may not enroll a user's phone number in the SMS program without that user completing the verification flow.
- Transactional only. Messages sent through the SMS program are limited to the categories listed in Privacy Policy Section 6.1. Customers may not use the Service to send promotional, marketing, or third-party commercial SMS messages.
- STOP / HELP. All Av8Book SMS messages honor the industry-standard STOP opt-out keyword and the HELP assistance keyword. Customers and their end users must not attempt to suppress, work around, or circumvent these keywords.
- No guarantee of delivery.Delivery of SMS messages depends on Your mobile carrier's network availability, on Twilio's message-routing infrastructure, and on regulatory carrier policies. Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages, and the Service is not a substitute for in-person notification of safety-critical or time-critical information.
- Carrier rates.Message and data rates may apply and are determined by the recipient's mobile carrier. Av8Book does not charge end users for SMS messages.
- Customer responsibility. If You enable SMS for Your organization, You are responsible for ensuring Your end users understand the categories of messages they will receive, how to opt out, and the carrier-rate disclosure described above.
14. Confidentiality
Each party will protect the other party's confidential information using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of like kind, but in no event less than reasonable care. Confidential information does not include information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, was known to the receiving party prior to disclosure, or is independently developed without use of the disclosing party's confidential information.
15. Intellectual Property
We and our licensors own all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all software, designs, marks, and documentation. No rights are granted to You other than the limited right to access and use the Service in accordance with these Terms. Feedback You provide may be used by us without restriction or compensation.

17. Governing Law — Dispute Resolution
17.1 Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
17.2 Informal resolution. Before commencing any formal proceeding, You agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally by sending a written notice describing the dispute and the relief You seek to legal@av8book.com. The parties will use good-faith efforts to resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days. The sixty-day period tolls any applicable statute of limitations.
17.3 Binding individual arbitration.If the parties do not resolve the dispute informally, the dispute will be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), except as provided in Section 17.5 (Carve-outs) and Section 17.7 (Opt-out). For disputes brought by or against an individual user (a natural person) in connection with personal, family, or household use of the Service, the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules apply. For disputes brought by or against an entity (including a flight school or business Customer), the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rulesapply. The arbitrator's award is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
17.4 Arbitration location and format. The seat of arbitration is Wilmington, Delaware. The arbitration may be conducted by telephone, by videoconference, or solely on the basis of documents submitted by the parties, at the option of the party bringing the claim. No party is required to travel to Delaware in connection with an arbitration unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.
17.5 Carve-outs. Notwithstanding the above:
- Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction, provided the matter remains in small-claims court and is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction.
- Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights, or for breach of confidentiality.
- Either party may bring claims for non-payment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
17.6 Costs of arbitration for individual users.For an individual user arbitrating under the AAA Consumer Rules, Av8Book will pay all AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in excess of two hundred fifty U.S. dollars (US$250), unless the arbitrator determines that the claim is frivolous within the meaning of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). Each party bears its own attorneys' fees and expenses unless a statute or contract provides otherwise.
17.7 Right to opt out of arbitration. You have the right to opt out of the arbitration agreement in this Section 17 by sending written notice of Your decision to opt out to legal@av8book.comwith the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” within thirty (30) days after first accepting these Terms (or, if these Terms are materially modified to expand the scope of arbitration, within thirty (30) days of the modification taking effect as to You). The notice must include Your name, the email address associated with Your account, and a clear statement that You are opting out of arbitration. If You opt out, the remainder of this Section 17 (other than the arbitration provisions) continues to apply and disputes will be litigated in the courts identified in Section 17.9.
17.8 Class waiver and coordinated proceedings. Class actions, class arbitrations, private-attorney-general actions, collective actions, and any other form of representative proceeding are waived to the maximum extent permitted by law. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that this class waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy (and only that claim or remedy) is severed from arbitration and must be brought in the courts identified in Section 17.9, and the remainder of this Section 17 will continue in effect. If twenty-five (25) or more individual arbitration demands of a substantially similar nature are filed against Av8Book within a thirty (30) day period and represented in whole or in part by the same counsel or coordinated counsel, the parties agree the arbitrations will proceed in batches of no more than fifty (50) at a time, with bellwether claimants and respondents selected by mutual agreement (or, failing agreement, by the AAA); claims outside the active batch are tolled but not advanced. The purpose of this provision is to manage cost and orderly resolution, not to suppress any individual's right to arbitrate.
17.9 Court forum. Any dispute that is not subject to arbitration (because it falls within Section 17.5, because You have timely opted out under Section 17.7, or because a court determines arbitration is unavailable) will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.
18. Force Majeure
Neither party will be liable for delay or failure to perform (other than payment obligations) caused by any event beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation: acts of God; war, terrorism, riot, or insurrection; embargoes or acts of civil or military authority; fire, flood, earthquake, or severe weather; accidents or strikes; ransomware or other malicious-code events; denial-of-service or other cyberattacks; outages of the public internet, internet service providers, DNS providers, or content-delivery networks; supply-chain disruption; third-party platform, cloud, or payment-processor outages; or pandemic, epidemic, or public-health emergency. The affected party will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable.
19. Modifications
We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version. Material changes will be communicated via the Service or by email. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
20. Severability and Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Data Processing Agreement (where applicable), and any signed enterprise order, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings.
