Terms

These terms cover the PlanePit website, the PlanePit Telegram bot, the PlanePit Android app and everything else we run under the PlanePit name. Using any of them means you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you do not agree, do not use PlanePit.

A beta, provided as is

PlanePit is in beta. Features can change, break or disappear, and data can be wrong or lost. We provide PlanePit as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and availability. Keep your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose.

Not for navigation or flight safety

The aerodrome brief, flight reports, landing figures, findings, Hobbs and fuel readings, consumption figures and maintenance dates are for information only. They can be wrong, incomplete or out of date. They are not an official weather briefing, not navigation data and not maintenance or airworthiness advice. The pilot in command is responsible for every decision about a flight. Check official sources, your aircraft's documents and your maintenance requirements yourself.

Accounts

You must be at least 18. Accounts are by approval: we decide who gets one, and we do not have to give a reason. Give us accurate information, keep one account per person, and keep your sign-in details to yourself. You are responsible for everything done under your account.

Your content

You keep ownership of what you upload, post or record on PlanePit: photos, logs, tracks, recordings, articles and anything else. By putting it on PlanePit you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable licence to host, store, copy, process, analyse, adapt, display, publish and distribute it. The licence covers running, improving and promoting PlanePit, developing new features and products, and creating aggregated or anonymised data. We may pass these rights to our service providers and to anyone who takes over PlanePit. The licence continues after you delete the content or your account.

Content meant to be public, such as articles, we may publish, feature and promote under your name. You confirm that you have the rights to everything you put on PlanePit, and that our use of it under these terms does not break anyone else's rights.

If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them however we like, and we owe you nothing for them.

What you may not do

• Break the law, or help someone else break it.
• Pretend to be someone you are not.
• Upload content you have no right to, or other people's personal data without their permission.
• Harass, threaten or deceive other people.
• Upload malware, spam or deliberately false data.
• Scrape, crawl or bulk-download PlanePit, or use it to build a competing product or dataset.
• Probe, overload or get around the security or limits of PlanePit, or reach parts of it you were not given access to.

What we can do

We can change, suspend or discontinue PlanePit or any part of it. We can suspend or close any account and remove any content. We can do any of this at any time, for any reason or none, with or without notice. PlanePit is free for now. We may add paid features later, with their own terms.

Other companies' services

Parts of PlanePit rely on other services, such as Telegram for the bot. Your use of those services is under their own terms, and we are not responsible for them.

Liability

To the maximum extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for lost data, profits, flights or opportunities, or for damage to aircraft or property. Our total liability to you for anything connected with PlanePit is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. If you paid nothing, that is zero. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited.

You will compensate us for claims, losses and costs that come from your content, from your use of PlanePit, or from your breach of these terms.

Leaving

You can stop using PlanePit at any time, and delete your account under Settings, Account. What happens to your data then is in the privacy policy. The parts of these terms that by their nature should last, including the content licence and the liability limits, stay in force after you leave.

Law and disputes

Latvian law governs these terms, and the courts of Latvia decide any dispute about them. If you are a consumer, you keep any protection that the mandatory law of your country gives you.

Changes

We can change these terms at any time. A change takes effect when we publish it here. If you keep using PlanePit after that, you accept the new version.
