7. Disclaimers
7.1 The information advisory part of the Service consists of aggregating data from third party providers, including maps, weather, and other circumstances relevant to aerial operations. We do not warrant, and we accept no responsibility or liability for checking or validating, the accuracy or integrity or completeness of the data.
7.2 The data are intended to help supplement, and not to replace, your normal flight planning due diligence as a pilot. Safe operation of your aircraft is ultimately your responsibility and no element of the Service should be relied upon or otherwise treated as aeronautical navigation data. Data must not be transferred to any flight computer, or used for air traffic control or other safety critical applications.
7.3 You recognise that you remain fully responsible for the safe and diligent piloting of any aircraft under your control at all times. It is your responsibility to verify and take into account the actual weather conditions, environmental factors and other situational awareness considerations before conducting any flight. You acknowledge that there may be man-made or natural obstacles that are not visible on maps. Data provided by the Service is for indicative guidance only and is not a substitute for visual observation and situational awareness of actual conditions at the time of flight.
7.4 Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) may be issued or revised in the period between planning and executing a flight. Always check with the relevant aviation authorities for formal confirmation of NOTAMs information if you are in any doubt.
7.5 You understand and agree that you must obtain all relevant permissions and authorisations to fly in the area you have planned to and that you must comply with all applicable local regulations and legislation. The Service does not grant or constitute flight approval.
7.6 The Service is made available on the basis that users in a group are already known to each other. We do not make introductions between users or in any way act as agent, intermediary, or otherwise on their behalf.
7.7 If you are a consumer, nothing in this Agreement shall exclude the statutory term in relation to the Service being provided with reasonable care and skill. You acknowledge that this shall be interpreted in context, in particular the scope and limits of the Service as described in this clause 7 and, in respect of the Standard Service, that it is free of charge.
7.8 If you are a business all implied warranties and other terms are excluded in accordance with clause 1.5.
7.9 We shall not in any way be held liable for any breach of our obligations that is attributable to you. We will also not be liable for any breach attributable to an unforeseeable and insurmountable event of a third party.

9. Providing the Service
9.1 When we will make the Service available . We will use reasonable endeavours to make the Service always available subject to any planned downtime and to any suspension or interruption as described in this clause 9.
9.2 Reasons we may suspend/interrupt the Service . Other than as a result of a breach or suspected breach of our Acceptable Use Policy (dealt with separately under clause 20), we may have to suspend the Service (or part of the Service):
(a) to deal with technical problems or make technical changes;
(b) to maintain the Service or the systems it relies upon;
(c) to update the Service to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
(d) to make changes to the Service as requested by you or notified by us to you (see clause 5); and/or
(e) for reasons outside of our control (for example, but not limited to, natural disaster, war, acts of terrorism, riots, government action, or a network or device failure external to our data centres, including at your site or between your site and our data centre).
9.3 Your rights if we suspend the Service . We will contact you to tell you we will be suspending the Service, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency or a reason outside our control. If we have to suspend the Service for longer than seven (7) days in a row, or for more than 168 non-continuous hours in any 28-day period and if you have a Subscription, we will on request apply a credit against your next invoice for an amount proportionate to the part of the price of your affected Subscription and the suspension period, but no more than the total amount paid for the Subscription. If you choose not to renew your subscription the amount will refunded to the original method of payment for your Subscription.
9.4 Where another user pays for an In-App Purchase or Subscription on their account and you receive the benefit, you have no rights in relation to that In-App Purchase or Subscription.
10. Your rights to cancel a purchase or delete your account
10.1 Cancelling a purchase . Your rights when you cancel a purchase will depend on why and when you decide to cancel:
(a) If what you have bought is defective or mis-described you may have a legal right to cancel (or other remedies), see clause 13 if you are a consumer and clause 14 below if you are a business.
(b) If you want to cancel because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 10.2.
(c) If you have just changed your mind, see clause 10.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the 14-day cooling-off period, and have not started to use a non-recurring In-App Purchase, but this may be subject to deductions.
(d) In all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not exercising your right to change your mind), see clause 10.5.
10.2 Cancelling because of something we have done or are going to do . If you are cancelling for a reason set out at (a) to (d) below the Subscription or In-App Purchase will end immediately and we will refund you in full for the unexpired part of the Subscription or unused part of the In-App Purchase . The reasons are:
(a) we have told you about an upcoming change to the Service or these terms which you do not agree to (see clause 5);
(b) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the In-App Purchase or Subscription you have purchased and you do not wish to proceed to use the Service;
(c) we have suspended the entire Service or a substantial part of the Service for technical or reasons of events outside our control, or notify you we are going to suspend it for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than stated in clause 9.3; or
(d) you have a legal right to cancel because of something we have done wrong.
10.3 Changing your mind . If you are a consumer then you have a legal right to change your mind within fourteen (14) days and receive a refund. These rights are explained in more detail in clauses 10.4 and 10.5 of these terms. These terms extend similar rights to business customers. You can tell us that you've changed your mind through the "contact us" link within the Service or by using the withdrawal form attached to the Agreement (Appendix B) and that you address to ScaleFlyt, Thales UK, Royal Manor, Crawley RH10 9HA.
10.4 How long do you have to change your mind? You have fourteen (14) days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your purchase.
10.5 Losing the right to change your mind. When purchasing you request that the In-App Purchase or Subscription start immediately. Where an In-App Purchase is made available for a non-recurring payment, rather than as part of a Subscription, you agree the service is performed when the In-App Purchase is made available for you to use. You agree that if within the 14-day period you start to use the In-App Purchase, for example by using a flight or mission in a bundle, you will at that point lose your right to change your mind.
10.6 Cancelling a Subscription where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind . Even if we are not at fault and the 14-day cooling-off period has expired (see clause 10.1), you can still cancel renewal of a Subscription. Just select the option to cancel on the Purchase History pages. Provided you cancel before the expiry date, the Subscription will be cancelled on that date and will not renew.
10.7 Deleting your account . To delete your account, please let us know by contacting us through the "contact us" link within the Service. Upon account deletion you will no longer have access and any Subscriptions and In-App Purchases will cease. This will be without refund unless you were already entitled to a refund under these terms. If you are entitled to a refund, your refund will be processed as soon as possible, but in any case no later than 14 days from your cancellation request.
10.8 How we will refund you . If you are entitled to a refund under these terms we will refund you the price you paid for the relevant In-App Purchase or Subscription, by the same method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions, as described below. For the avoidance of doubt, no refund shall be greater than the amount you have paid for the relevant In-App Purchase or Subscription.
10.9 When we may make deduction from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind . If you are exercising your right to change your mind we may deduct, in accordance with clause 10.5, from any refund a proportionate amount for the period from purchase confirmation until the time when you told us you had changed your mind or cancelled.
10.10 When your refund will be made . We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible, and in any event within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind or cancelled.
10.11 Fair use. If you have previously purchaseda Subscription or In-App Purchase then changed your mind and received a refund, we reserve the right not to accept subsequent orders in relation to the same or different Subscription or In-App Purchases.
10.12 If you live in France, cancellation rights in this clause 10 do not exclude any other rights to which you may be entitled, including any right to compensation.
11. Our rights to end this Agreement
11.1 We may end a Subscription/Service if you break this Agreement . We may cancel any Subscription or end this Agreement (ie. delete your account) at any time by contacting to you if:
(a) you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within thirty (30) days of us reminding you that payment is due;
(b) you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the Service;
(c) you use the Service in a manner contrary to clause 6;
(d) you do not comply with the Acceptable Use Policy;
(e) any of the information provided to us during account registration or any transaction/purchase is incorrect or incomplete;
(f) any of warranties in clause 4 is untrue;
(g) it becomes unlawful under any applicable law to provide you with the Service or any part thereof.
This is in addition to, and does not limit, our rights to restrict the Service and your use of it or particular features as described in clause 20 (Acceptable Use Policy). It is also in addition to any rights or remedies we may have under applicable law.
11.2 You must compensate us if you break this Agreement . If we cancel a Subscription or In-App Purchase or end this Agreement (ie. delete your account) in the situations set out in clause 11.1 and you are a consumer we will refund any money you have paid in advance for the unexpired period of any cancelled Subscription. If you are a business we will not refund any money. Whether you are a consumer or a business, and whether or not you had a paid Subscription or In-App Purchase, we may deduct or charge you an amount as compensation for the net losses, costs, charges, and/or expenses we will incur, or that we reasonably estimate we may incur, as a direct or indirect result of your breaking this Agreement and/or of the Subscription or In-App Purchase or contract ending. If you are a consumer that deduction or charge will be no greater than the total amount you have paid for the Service including any amount refunded under this clause 11.2. This is in addition to your liability under the indemnity at clause 8 above.
11.3 We may withdraw the Service . We may contact you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the Service either in full or in particular countries. We will try to let you know with reasonable notice taking into account the duration of the Service provided and at least at least three (3) months before the normal term of your current Subscriptions. The Services will cease to be provided on the date of the normal term of your Subscription.
12. If there is a problem with the Service
How to tell us about problems. If you have any questions or complaints about the Service, please contact us as described in clause 2.2.
13. Your rights if you are a consumer
If you are a consumer we are under a legal duty to supply a service in conformity with this Agreement. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says: You can ask us to repeat or fix a service if it's not carried out with reasonable care and skill, or get some money back if we can't fix it.
14. Your rights if you are a business
If you are a business, your rights are limited to a refund of an amount equal to the price paid for the defective part of the Service.
15. Price and payment
15.1 Where to find the price . The price will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. Unless stated otherwise it will be shown including any VAT according to the law and regulations of the country where the transaction is subject to tax. Prices are displayed in a currency depending on your home country associated with your account. We may in our sole discretion make available special offers from time to time.
15.2 How you must pay . We accept payment with Visa Credit, Mastercard Credit, American Express, and such other methods shown on our website from time to time. Generally, only cards issued in Market Countries are accepted. The transaction is immediately charged to your card after verification, upon receipt of the debit authorization from the card issuer. The commitment to pay is irrevocable. By providing information about his credit card, you authorize us to debit his credit card the amount corresponding to the price.
15.3 When you must pay. Certain In-App Purchases may be made available on a non-recurring payment basis and you must pay the full price before the relevant In-App Purchase is made available. For Subscriptions payment will generally be charged upon our confirmation. Subscriptions may also be made available for a free trial period, in which case payment will be charged when the period ends. Trial periods start from confirmation and generally run for 14 days unless we indicate otherwise. Your Subscription will renew automatically and will be charged each month or year (or other applicable period) as the case may be . Renewal payment will be charged on each anniversary or the same (as near as possible) day of the month (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc), as applicable.
15.4 Price changes. We may change the price for a Subscription for the future as of the next renewal to reflect the UK retail prices index (RPI) or other relevant index and currency exchange rates. We may also change the price for a Subscription for other business reasons. In either case we will contact you in advance to tell you about any price increase, and we will try to do so at least 30 days in advance, so that you can, if necessary, notify us of your intention not to renew your Subscription(s). If you do not cancel, the adjusted price will be charged on the next renewal date.
15.5 Our right of set-off if you are a business customer . If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction, or withholding.
15.6 We can charge interest if you pay late . If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of five percent (5%) a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
15.7 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong . If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.
16. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you if you are a consumer
16.1 Exclusion of liability for the Standard Service. The Standard Service is available free of charge. As such, to the maximum extent permitted by law (see clause 16.3) you use the Standard Service entirely at your own risk and we accept no liability whatsoever in relation to it, in connection with or through the use of the Standard Service. This applies in place of the acceptance of liability in clause 16.2 and the limit in clause 16.5.
16.2 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us . If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this Agreement or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time this Agreement was made, both we and you knew it might happen.
16.3 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so . This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Service as summarised at clause 13. If you reside in France it includes gross misconduct (faute lorde).

20.9 When we consider that a breach of this Acceptable Use Policy has occurred, we may take such action as we deem appropriate including the measures detailed below.

(a) immediate, temporary or permanent withdrawal of your right to use the Service, including any paid-for In-App Purchase or Subscription;

21. Other important terms
21.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else . We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation, provided (if you are a consumer) that such assignment does not diminish your rights. We will tell you in writing if this happens.
21.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else . You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.
21.3 Nobody else has any rights under this Agreement . This contract is between you and us. However, our Affiliate Companies shall be entitled to the benefit of this contract and to enforce its terms in their own right. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
21.4 If a court finds part of this Agreement illegal, the rest will continue in force . Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect. If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, that part shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect as closely as possible Thales's original intentions and the remainder of this contract shall remain valid and enforceable.
21.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this Agreement, we can still enforce it later . If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this Agreement, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Service, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
21.6 Where can you sue if you are a consumer? You can bring proceedings in the English courts. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in either the English courts or (as applicable) the Scottish or Northern Irish courts. If you are domiciled in a state of the European Union, you benefit from Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 of 12 December 2012 on jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters, which allows you to bring your suit, whether in the courts of England or the state where you are domiciled, notwithstanding the jurisdiction clause referred to above.
21.7 Which law applies to this Agreement if you are a consumer? These terms are governed by English law. If you are domiciled in a state of the European Union, you benefit from the Regulation n° 593/2008 of 17 June 2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations (Rome I). We intend that these terms are consistent with the consumer laws of each EU member state. Accordingly, this choice of English law to govern the Agreement cannot have the effect of depriving you of the protection of the provisions which cannot be derogated from by agreement under the law of the country where you have your habitual residence.
21.8 Which laws apply to this Agreement and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a business? If you are a business, any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with a contract between us or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.
21.9 Language. As a UK-based company we are carrying on business in the United Kingdom, therefore we communicate with our customers in English and our Service is provided in English. In France, we will provide the Service in accordance with applicable law.
