Terms of Service

Effective Date: April 1, 2009
Last Updated: August 9, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of aviator.aero and the websites, newsletters, databases, software, data, research, alerts, reports, APIs, and other products and services provided by Aviator (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing, subscribing to, purchasing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you should not use the Services.

1. The Aviator Service

Aviator provides commercial aviation news, data, research, market information, analysis, alerts, and related information services.

Information available through Aviator may come from Aviator’s research as well as third-party, public, proprietary, automated, and other sources.

While we make reasonable efforts to provide accurate and timely information, we do not guarantee that information provided through Aviator is accurate, complete, current, error-free, or suitable for any particular purpose.

Aviation and financial information can change rapidly, and information obtained from third parties, public sources, automated systems, aircraft tracking systems, regulatory sources, company announcements, and market sources may contain errors, omissions, or delays.

Aviator is an information service. Nothing provided through the Services constitutes financial, investment, legal, tax, operational, safety, regulatory, or other professional advice. You are responsible for independently verifying information before relying on it or making decisions based upon it.

2. Your Right to Use Aviator

Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable subscription fees, Aviator grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right to use the Services for your own personal or authorized internal business purposes.

Commercial organizations and professionals may use Aviator information for legitimate internal business research, analysis, decision-making, and related activities consistent with their subscription.

A subscription provides access to Aviator. It does not transfer ownership of Aviator’s content or data or grant you redistribution, resale, syndication, or other commercial exploitation rights.

Rights granted to organizations with multiple users are subject to the applicable subscription plan or separate written agreement with Aviator.

Business and Professional Use. Aviator is primarily intended for businesses and aviation industry professionals. If you access or subscribe to the Services on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms. In that case, references to “you” include that organization.

3. Content, Data and Prohibited Uses

Except where expressly identified otherwise, Aviator’s content, databases, datasets, research, analysis, newsletters, compilations, graphics, software, interfaces, classifications, summaries, and other proprietary materials are owned by or licensed to Aviator and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may use this information internally as permitted by your subscription. Unless expressly permitted by your subscription or authorized by Aviator in writing, you may not:

• reproduce, republish, redistribute, syndicate, resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit Aviator content or data;
• systematically download, export, extract, harvest, or collect Aviator content or data, except through download or export features expressly provided by Aviator;
• scrape, crawl, spider, or use bots, automated agents, scripts, browser automation, or similar technologies to access or extract information from the Services;
• create, populate, supplement, or maintain a database, dataset, directory, news service, intelligence product, or competing information service using Aviator content or data;
• incorporate Aviator content or data into a product, platform, newsletter, website, application, API, data feed, or service provided to third parties;
• use Aviator content or data to train, fine-tune, ground, evaluate, augment, or develop an artificial intelligence or machine-learning model, large language model, retrieval system, or similar technology without our written authorization;
• circumvent access controls, rate limits, paywalls, authentication mechanisms, or other technical restrictions;
• share account credentials or provide unauthorized access to another person or organization; or
• use the Services in violation of applicable law or another person’s rights.

These restrictions do not prevent an authorized subscriber from using Aviator information in the ordinary course of its own internal business activities.

Organizations wishing to redistribute, integrate, syndicate, license, or otherwise use Aviator content or data externally should contact Aviator regarding an appropriate commercial license.

All rights not expressly granted under these Terms are reserved by Aviator.

4. Accounts and Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials and for activity conducted through your account.

Individual accounts may not be shared. Multi-user access is permitted only where provided by the applicable subscription or another written agreement with Aviator.

You should promptly notify Aviator if you believe your account has been compromised or used without authorization.

We may suspend or restrict accounts that we reasonably believe have been compromised, shared without authorization, or used in violation of these Terms.

5. Subscriptions, Renewals and Payments

Paid subscriptions are billed according to the price and billing period presented when you subscribe or as otherwise agreed in writing.

Unless otherwise stated or you have elected an invoiced arrangement, paid subscriptions automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration until canceled.

Where applicable, Aviator will provide advance notice of renewal in accordance with applicable law.

By maintaining a paid subscription, you authorize Aviator and its payment processor to charge your payment method for applicable subscription fees, taxes, and authorized charges when your subscription renews.

You may prevent a subsequent renewal by canceling before the renewal date using the cancellation method provided by Aviator or by contacting us.

Except where required by applicable law or otherwise agreed in writing, payments and subscription fees are non-refundable.

Cancellation, renewal, refund, and withdrawal rights may vary depending upon your jurisdiction. Where applicable law provides rights that cannot be waived by contract, those rights will apply.

Aviator may change its plans, features, and pricing from time to time. Changes to the price of an existing subscription will ordinarily take effect upon a subsequent renewal unless otherwise disclosed.

6. Third-Party Information and Services

Aviator may display or incorporate information originating from third parties and may link to third-party websites, platforms, databases, or services.

We do not control and are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, availability, policies, products, or services of third parties. The inclusion of third-party information or links does not necessarily constitute an endorsement.

Certain Aviator products may also depend upon third-party data feeds, networks, APIs, or infrastructure. Those services may experience interruptions, delays, inaccuracies, or changes outside Aviator’s control.

7. Specialized Products and Data

Certain Aviator products, features, APIs, datasets, or services may be subject to additional terms, usage restrictions, licenses, or disclaimers presented with those products.

Aircraft positions, tracking information, geofencing results, alerts, operational information, ADS-B data, NOTAM-related information, squawk information, AOG indications, and similar information may be delayed, incomplete, unavailable, or inaccurate.

Unless Aviator expressly states otherwise in writing, such information is provided for informational purposes and must not be relied upon for aircraft navigation, flight safety, dispatch, air traffic control, regulatory compliance, emergency response, or other safety-critical purposes.

8. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES AND ALL INFORMATION, DATA, CONTENT, SOFTWARE, ALERTS, REPORTS, AND OTHER MATERIALS AVAILABLE THROUGH AVIATOR ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

Aviator disclaims, to the extent permitted by law, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, reliability, and uninterrupted operation.

You use and rely upon the Services at your own risk.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AVIATOR AND ITS OWNERS, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, DATA, GOODWILL, INVESTMENT VALUE, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Aviator’s total aggregate liability arising from or relating to the Services or these Terms will not exceed the amount you paid to Aviator during the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory asserted and even if Aviator has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

9. Suspension and Termination

Aviator may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the Services if we reasonably determine that you:

• violated these Terms;
• failed to pay applicable fees;
• shared or compromised an account;
• scraped or systematically extracted Aviator data;
• redistributed or commercially exploited Aviator content without authorization;
• infringed Aviator’s intellectual-property rights; or
• used the Services in a manner that threatens their security, integrity, or availability.

Serious violations may result in immediate termination.

Termination does not waive any rights or remedies relating to conduct occurring before termination. Provisions concerning intellectual property, prohibited uses, disclaimers, liability, governing law, and other provisions that by their nature should survive will remain effective after termination.

10. Governing Law, International Use and Disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising from or relating to the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you and Aviator agree that any legal action or proceeding arising from or relating to these Terms or the Services will be brought exclusively in the applicable state courts located in Hays County, Texas, or the applicable federal court having jurisdiction over Hays County, Texas, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

Aviator operates from the United States and makes its Services available to customers in multiple countries. If you access or purchase the Services from outside the United States, you are responsible for complying with laws applicable to your use of the Services in your jurisdiction.

Prices, taxes, payment methods, subscription rights, cancellation rights, and availability of certain Services may vary by country or region.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any mandatory rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or modified under applicable law. If mandatory law applicable to you conflicts with these Terms, that law will apply only to the extent required by law.

11. Changes to These Terms

Aviator may update these Terms from time to time.

Updated Terms will be posted on the Aviator website with a revised “Last Updated” date. Where required by applicable law, or where we determine a change is material, additional notice may be provided.

Your continued use of the Services after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

12. General Terms and Contact

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

Aviator’s failure to enforce a provision does not waive its right to enforce that provision later.

These Terms, together with any applicable order form, subscription agreement, enterprise agreement, privacy policy, product-specific terms, or other agreement incorporated by reference, constitute the agreement governing your use of the Services.

If a separately executed written agreement between Aviator and a customer conflicts with these Terms, the separately executed agreement will control to the extent of the conflict.
