These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your use of the DaPilot iOS application, the dapilot.prowebsite, and any related services we provide (collectively, the “Service”). The Service is provided by DaDeveloper LLC (“DaPilot,” “we,” or “us”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 17 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a contract to use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
2. Your account
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Apple ID and any device you use to access DaPilot. You are responsible for any activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately if you believe your account has been compromised.
3. Subscriptions and billing
DaPilot Pro is a paid subscription billed through the Apple App Store under Apple’s standard subscription terms. Subscription fees, billing cycles, and refund procedures are governed by Apple. We never see or store your payment information.
You may cancel your subscription any time through the Apple App Store. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Your data is preserved if you downgrade to the free tier.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service to violate any applicable law or regulation;
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or circumvent any technical measure that protects the Service;
- Resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit the Service without our written consent;
- Submit content that is unlawful, infringes third-party rights, or contains malware;
- Use the Service to operate a flight in a manner that violates 14 CFR or any applicable aviation regulation. The Service is an advisory tool, not authorization.
5. Pilot responsibility (mandatory)
You are solely responsible for determining your legality for flight, your compliance with 14 CFR, your operations specifications, your certificate holder’s policies, and any other applicable rules or guidance. DaPilot is an advisory tool. Regulatory decisions are yours.
6. Regulatory non-warranty (mandatory)
We do not warrant that the Service complies with or assists in compliance with any statutes, regulations, industry standards, or procedures, including those that are aviation- or flight-related. You acknowledge that DaPilot is not rendering any legal, professional, or aviation services to you.
DaPilot is not a flight planning system, dispatch system, or fatigue-risk management system. Outputs are advisory and are based solely on the data you enter. Inputs are your responsibility.
7. AI-extracted content
Voice transcriptions and paper logbook scan results are produced by third-party machine-learning models. We describe the data path in the Privacy Policy. Output may be inaccurate. Anything the model had to guess is flagged in the user interface, and you are expected to review every flight before saving. We are not liable for content saved without review.
8. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, and content (other than your data), is owned by DaPilot or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial logbook purposes. Your data remains yours.
9. AS IS warranty disclaimer
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS.
We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. We do not warrant that any regulatory calculation, currency tracker, FAR 117 window, or other output is correct.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE SUBSCRIPTION FEES YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR PERSONAL INJURY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
The limitations in this Section apply to all claims, including claims based on contract, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory.
11. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DaPilot, its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from any claim, loss, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from (a) your use of the Service, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of any law or regulation, or (d) any flight operation that you conducted while using the Service.
12. No third-party warranties
DaPilot makes no warranty regarding any third-party service or content used in connection with the Service, including Apple, the App Store, the underlying cloud infrastructure, or any AI provider. Claims by third parties for personal injury or property damage arising from use of the Service are not assumed by DaPilot.
13. Changes to the Service
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We will provide reasonable notice for material changes when feasible. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the changes.
14. Termination
You may terminate your account at any time by emailing support@dapilot.pro from the address associated with your account. We will permanently delete your data within seven days. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you breach these Terms or for any reason at our discretion. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, and 18) survive.
15. Privacy
Our collection and use of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms.
16. Governing law and arbitration
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in the county where DaPilot is registered.
You and DaPilot each waive the right to trial by jury and to participate in any class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding.
Either party may bring a small-claims action in lieu of arbitration for claims that qualify under applicable small-claims jurisdiction.
17. Miscellaneous
These Terms, along with the Privacy Policy and the Regulatory Disclaimer, are the entire agreement between you and DaPilot with respect to the Service. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of that provision. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
18. Endorsements and signatures
DaPilot lets pilots request, record, and exchange endorsements and signatures, and lets instructors sign flights and issue endorsements. The following apply to those features.
No verification of identity or certificate. DaPilot does not verify the identity of any signer or the validity of any FAA certificate number. The certificate-number lookup only matches a number to a DaPilot account; it does not check the number against the FAA or any other authority.
The signer and the pilot are responsible. The instructor who signs and the pilot who relies on a signature or endorsement are solely responsible for its accuracy and for the authority to give it. DaPilot records these items, the way a logbook does, and is not a party to them.
Records, not determinations of eligibility. A signature or endorsement created or recorded in DaPilot is a record of what a signer represented. It is not a determination by DaPilot that any pilot is eligible, current, qualified, or recommended for anything. DaPilot does not make that determination.
No warranty of legal sufficiency. We do not warrant that an endorsement or signature created in, or exported from, the Service satisfies any legal requirement, including the recordkeeping and carriage requirements in 14 CFR 61.51(i). The endorsement templates follow the wording in AC 61-65K for convenience and are not represented as approved by the FAA. You and your instructor are responsible for deciding how to retain and carry any required record.
Revoked records are retained. When a signer undoes a signature or revokes an endorsement, the record is not deleted. A revoked endorsement is retained and shown as revoked, with the date, so that anyone who relied on it is not misled. Signature, undo, and revocation events are kept in an append-only audit log.
