1. AirData Services
AirData Service Overview. The Service is a cloud-based software platform that allows pilots and operators of unmanned aerial vehicles (also known as "UAVs" or "drones") to upload flight logs and other data pertaining to the flight and operation of their drones, including, without limitation, location data, video, and imagery ("Data"), for analysis of their flights, drones, and other related equipment. Additional features of the Service may include providing maintenance recommendations to users for their drones based on drone usage and information from the applicable drone equipment manufacturers ("Maintenance Recommendations"), providing users the ability to generate reports based on the data and analysis provided by the Service, providing users with flight restriction and other airspace data, allowing users to request authorization to fly in a controlled airspace by using the Federal Aviation Administration's Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability process (the "LAANC Service"), and providing users the ability to share their drone flight information with others by using the website's sharing feature ("Share Feature"). AirData is not obligated to provide support for your use of the Service.
AirData API. Your subscription may include access to, and use of, the AirData API as part of the Service. The AirData API permits automated access to your Data, all as documented by AirData.
LAANC Service. The LAANC Service allows users to apply for LAANC airspace authorizations from the FAA (each a "LAANC Authorization Request") by integrating with certain third-party companies authorized by the FAA to access the FAA's data exchange and assist the FAA in processing these LAANC Authorization Requests (each a "UAS Service Supplier"). If you decide to use the LAANC Service, you understand and agree that it is your responsibility to review and comply with the requirements of the FAA's LAANC approval process. You are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of any information you submit to the LAANC Service. The FAA and any UAS Service Suppliers are responsible for processing your LAANC Authorization Request and determining whether to approve or deny it. You may be required to establish an account, and agree to terms, with the FAA and UAS Service Suppliers as Third Party Services (defined below). AirData has no control over, and does not guarantee, that any LAANC Authorization Request submitted to the LAANC Service will be approved. You are responsible for ensuring that you have the appropriate authorization before flying, and AirData is not liable for: (a) any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in your LAANC Authorization Request; (b) the processing or transmission of your LAANC Authorization Request by the FAA or any UAS Service Supplier; or (c) any delays in the approval of your LAANC Authorization Request or the denial of your LAANC Authorization Request. Please review our Privacy Policy for more information on what data we share with UAS Service Suppliers and the FAA.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 13 years of age; (b) you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service; and (c) your registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
If you are an entity, organization, or company, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have the authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms.
3. Accounts and Registration
To access most features of the Service, you must register for an account. When you register for an account, you will be required to provide us with some information about yourself, such as your name and email address. You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate and that you will keep it accurate and up-to-date at all times. When you register, you will be asked to provide a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure, then you must immediately notify us at support@airdata.com.
4. Fees; Payment Terms; Refunds
Fees and Payments. You must pay fees to use certain portions of the Service. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are in U.S. dollars. AirData will charge the payment method you specify at the time of purchase. You authorize AirData to charge all sums as described in these Terms, for the Service you select, to that payment method. If you pay any fees with a credit card, AirData may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase.
Refunds. If you purchase a subscription to the Service and you are not satisfied with your purchase, you may request a refund within the first 30 days of the purchase date by sending an email to billing@airdata.com, including the order number. Upon receipt of such a request, your access to the Service will be terminated without further notice.
Changes to Fees. If AirData changes the fees for the portion of the Service that you are using, including by adding additional fees or charges, AirData will provide you advance notice of those changes. If you do not accept the changes by the effective date of those changes as stated in the notice (which may be the date your subscription is due to renew), AirData may discontinue providing the Service to you.
Recurring Payments and Cancellation. The Service may include certain subscription-based plans with automatically recurring payments for periodic charges ("Subscription Service"). The "Subscription Billing Date" is the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Service. The Subscription Service will begin on the Subscription Billing Date and continue for the subscription period that you select on your account (such period, the "Initial Subscription Period"), and will automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration as the Initial Subscription Period (the Initial Subscription Period and each such renewal period, each a "Subscription Period") unless you cancel the Subscription Service or we terminate it. If you activate a Subscription Service, then you authorize AirData or its third-party payment processors to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of the Subscription Service, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date. For information on the "Subscription Fee," please see our "Pricing" page at www.airdata.com/pricing. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date and thereafter on the renewal date of your Subscription Service for all applicable fees and taxes for the next Subscription Period. AirData or its third-party payment processor will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method associated with your account or that you otherwise provide to us.
You may cancel the Subscription Service by clicking CANCEL on the "My Account" page in the "Billing" tab, or by sending us email to billing@airdata.com. Your cancellation must be received at least 10 days before the Subscription Billing Date in order to avoid a charge for the next Subscription Period. If you elect to cancel your paid subscription before the end of the Subscription Period, your subscription will remain active through the end of the billing period, but will not renew. If you use the Service to update or cancel any existing authorized one-time or recurring payment, it may take up to 10 business days for the update or cancellation to take effect.
5. Termination of Use; Discontinuation and Modification of the Service
You may terminate your account at any time by clicking CANCEL on the "My Account" page in the "Billing" tab, or contacting customer service at support@airdata.com. If you terminate your account, you remain obligated to pay all outstanding fees, if any, incurred prior to termination relating to your use of the Service. If you violate any provision of these Terms, your permission from us to use the Service will terminate automatically. In addition, AirData may, in its sole discretion, terminate your user account on the Service and these Terms, or suspend or terminate your access to the Service, at any time for any reason or no reason, with or without notice. We also reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Service at any time (including by limiting or discontinuing certain features of the Service), temporarily or permanently, without notice to you. We will have no liability whatsoever on account of any change to the Service or any suspension or termination of your use of the Service.

11. Digital Millennium Copyright Act
DMCA Notification. We comply with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act applicable to Internet service providers (17 U.S.C. §512, as amended, "DMCA").

Airdata UAV, Inc.ATTN: Legal Department (Copyright Notification)4370 Town Center Blvd., STE 300, El Dorado Hills, California 95762Email: copyright@airdata.com
Procedure for Reporting Claimed Infringement. If you believe that any content made available on or through the Service has been used or exploited in a manner that infringes an intellectual property right you own or control, then please promptly send a written "Notification of Claimed Infringement" to the Designated Agent identified above containing the following information:
- an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other right being infringed;
- a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property right that you claim has been infringed;
- a description of the material that you claim is infringing and where it is located on the Service;
- your address, telephone number, and email address;
- a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use of the materials on the Service of which you are complaining is not authorized by the copyright or other intellectual property right owner, its agent, or the law; and
- a statement by you that the above information in your notice is accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright or other intellectual property right owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner's behalf.
Your Notification of Claimed Infringement may be shared by AirData with the user alleged to have infringed a right you own or control as well as with the operators of publicly available databases that track notifications of claimed infringement, and you consent to AirData making such disclosures. You should consult with your own lawyer or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm your obligations to provide a valid notice of claimed infringement.
Repeat Infringers. AirData's policy is to: (a) remove or disable access to material that AirData believes in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property rights owner or authorized agent, is infringing the intellectual property rights of a third party by being made available through the Service; and (b) in appropriate circumstances, to terminate the accounts of and block access to the Service by any user who repeatedly or egregiously infringes other people's copyright or other intellectual property rights. AirData will promptly terminate without notice the accounts of users that are determined by AirData to be repeat infringers. A "repeat infringer" is a user who has been notified of infringing activity or has had Data removed from the Service at least twice. AirData reserves the right, however, to suspend or terminate accounts of users in our sole discretion.
Counter Notification. If you receive a notification from AirData that material made available by you on or through the Service has been the subject of a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then you will have the right to provide AirData with what is called a "Counter Notification." To be effective, a Counter Notification must be in writing, provided to AirData's Designated Agent through one of the methods identified in the section above titled "DMCA Notification," and include substantially the following information:
- your physical or electronic signature;
- identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
- a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
- your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if you are residing outside of the United States, then for any judicial district in which AirData may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under the section titled "DMCA Notification" above or an agent of that person.
A party submitting a Counter Notification should consult a lawyer or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm the party's obligations to provide a valid counter notification under the Copyright Act.
Reposting of Content Subject to a Counter Notification. If you submit a Counter Notification to AirData in response to a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then AirData will promptly provide the person who provided the Notification of Claimed Infringement with a copy of your Counter Notification and inform that person that AirData will replace the removed User Content or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days, and AirData will replace the removed User Content and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the Counter Notification, unless AirData's Designated Agent receives notice from the party that submitted the Notification of Claimed Infringement that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on AirData's system or network.
False Notification of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notifications. The Copyright Act provides at 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents, under Section 512 of the Copyright Act, that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, will be liable for any damages — including costs and attorneys' fees — incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner's authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of AirData relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it. AirData reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a Notification of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notification in violation of the law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles. You and AirData submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts located within El Dorado County, California and the federal courts located within the Eastern District of California for resolution of any lawsuit or court proceeding permitted under these Terms.
22. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Generally. Except as described in the sections titled "Exceptions" and "Opt-Out" below, you and AirData agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Service, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND AIRDATA ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 22 within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Airdata UAV, Inc., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 4370 Town Center Blvd., STE 300, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762, that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration ("Opt-Out Notice"). Once AirData receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 22 will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 21. The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by a single arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules"), as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting AirData.
Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail ("Notice of Arbitration"). AirData's address for Notice of Arbitration is: AirData UAV, Inc., 4370 Town Center Blvd., STE 300, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or AirData may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, AirData will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US $10,000 or if the Company has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to AAA.
Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your residence unless we agree otherwise, or at a location to be agreed upon in El Dorado County, California, but if the claim is for US $10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your residence. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or AirData must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.
Arbitration Relief. Except as provided in the section titled "No Class Actions" below, the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by AirData before an arbitrator was selected, AirData will pay you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; and (b) US $5,000. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law, or (2) if the arbitrator's award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator's application or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
No Class Actions. YOU AND AIRDATA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and AirData agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If AirData makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to AirData's address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with AirData will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected, will survive.
Enforceability. If the section above titled "No Class Actions," or the entirety of this Section 22, is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 22 will be null and void, and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 21 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and AirData only, not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the Service. If the Service fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund any applicable purchase price for the mobile application to you; and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the Service.

26. General Terms
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and AirData regarding your use of the Service. Any conflicting or additional terms or conditions stated in a purchase order or in any other order documentation you may issue or provide are void and of no effect. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms the use of the word "including" means "including but not limited to." If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
If you have a negotiated, executed agreement with AirData governing your use of the Service (an "Enterprise Agreement," however entitled), the terms of that Enterprise Agreement will control to the extent that there is a conflict between these Terms and the provisions of the Enterprise Agreement.
