The company may compile and commercialize aggregated product usage statistics derived from activity on the site, such as how frequently instruments from one avionics manufacturer are used in designs alongside those from another. These datasets are de-identified, do not contain personal information, and are not linked to specific user accounts. By using the site, you acknowledge and agree that the company may generate and sell such non-personal market data.

Disclaimers
The site and its content are provided “as is.” The company disclaims all warranties to the fullest extent permitted by law. Aviation-related content, events, or advice may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated and must not be relied upon for flight planning or safety. Always verify with official publications and professionals.

Limits on Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the company and its affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Direct liability, if any, shall be capped at $100 or the amount you paid to use the site in the past 12 months, whichever is greater.

You waive the right to participate in class actions. Arbitration awards may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

General Terms
If any provision is invalid, it shall be modified to the minimum extent to be enforceable. These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the company. Failure to enforce a provision does not waive it. The company may assign rights; you may not assign without written consent.
