time and for any purpose.

Flight path
information will be disassociated with any other personally identifiable
information held by us, however, in some circumstances it may be possible to

Broadly
stated, our services are intended to supplement generally required drone pilots’
due diligence and awareness activities; not to act as a replacement for them,
or a drone operator's normal legal obligations. Collectively or individually,
our services are designed only to assist with plan-to-avoid scenarios, and not
to act as a replacement for this or a drone operator's see-and-avoid
responsibilities, except where expressly stated otherwise. This means, when you
are utilising our services as a drone pilot or drone operator, you cannot rely
on our services as the sole source of situation awareness or information
necessary to determine the safety and/or legality of any particular drone
flight.

We
work very hard to ensure our services are fast, efficient and reliable, 24

right.

as a result of our fraud or for any statement we make fraudulently intending
you to rely on it entering into this contract with us.
10.2
That
said, there are certain types of liability that we are permitted by law to
limit or exclude and, accordingly, to the fullest extent possible by law, we
accept no liability to any person or persons, or any entity, including you, for
any direct, indirect or consequential loss, damage or expense (whether
foreseeable or otherwise), in contract, tort (including negligence), for breach
of statutory duty, or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with the use or
misuse of (or inability to use) our services, including (but not limited to),
our website, mobile apps or developer platform, howsoever that loss, damage or
expense may arise.
10.3
We
are also not liable or responsible for any failure to perform or for the delay
in the performance of any of our obligations under these conditions that is
caused by events that are beyond our reasonable control. This might include a
failure of an internet service provider to deliver notifications or emails to you,
poor weather conditions, packet loss, an act of war or any industrial strike,
any decision by any governmental body to restrict its air traffic controls or
data, or any failure by any third party upon whom we rely for the delivery of
our services to you.
10.4
We
do strive to exercise commercially reasonable care and skill in everything that
we do. That includes taking steps to ensure our services are free from computer
viruses and malware, but we cannot accept any liability for any loss or damage

us any fees to access the services, our liability to you shall be capped at an
aggregate maximum - across all claims - to 1 (one) Euro.

agree to indemnify and hold harmless our partners from any claim(s) arising out
of or in connection with your use of the services.
