Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form an agreement between you and Airworthy Academy (“Airworthy Academy,” “we,” “us”) covering your access to and use of our websites, applications, course material, practice questions, and related features (together, the “Services”).

When you create an account you are asked to confirm, explicitly, that you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. We record which version of each document you accepted. Continuing to use the Services also constitutes acceptance of the Terms then in force.

If we make a material change to these Terms, we may ask you to accept the updated version before you continue using the Services. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Services.

If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.

The Services are intended for adults. To use them you must be at least 18 years old and at least the age of majority where you live, and you must be able to form a binding contract with us under applicable law. Where the age of majority where you live is higher than 18, that higher age applies.

Airworthy Academy is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly permit anyone below those ages to create an account.

Airworthy Academy provides aviation education for ground-school preparation and general aviation knowledge. Depending on what we have released, the Services may include lessons, written explanations, diagrams, practice questions, practice examinations, progress tracking, and study tools covering subjects such as aerodynamics, regulations, weather theory, navigation, aircraft systems, aeronautical decision-making, and knowledge-test preparation.

We are not the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Services are not an official FAA publication, an official source of regulatory information, or a substitute for either.

This is the most important section of these Terms. It describes what the Services are for and, just as importantly, what they are not for.

We will do our best to prepare you well. We cannot promise a result, and we do not guarantee that you will:

• Pass an FAA knowledge test.
• Pass an oral examination, practical test, or checkride.
• Obtain any pilot certificate or rating.
• Qualify for, or obtain, any medical certificate.
• Complete any aeronautical experience requirement.
• Receive any instructor endorsement.
• Obtain employment or any other professional outcome.

Some Airworthy Academy courses or features may expressly state that they include a certificate of completion, an endorsement, or similar documentation, and may set out the specific requirements for it. Unless a particular offering expressly says so, completing our content does not itself constitute, satisfy, or guarantee any FAA-required endorsement, certification, or similar authorization.

The Services may include AI-assisted features that answer questions, explain concepts, or help you study. These features are educational assistance.

When using the Services, you agree to:

• Provide accurate account information and keep it reasonably current.
• Use the Services in compliance with these Terms and applicable law.
• Keep your account credentials secure, as described in “Eligibility and Your Account” above.
• Meet the aviation responsibilities described in “Aviation Safety and Training Boundaries” above whenever your real-world flying is involved.

You are responsible for the devices, software, and internet connectivity you use to reach the Services.

These restrictions exist to keep the Services working and available. You agree not to:

1. Use the Services for fraud, or for any unlawful purpose.
2. Attack, overload, or deliberately disrupt the Services or the infrastructure they run on, including by distributing malware.
3. Access, or attempt to access, areas, accounts, or data you are not authorized to reach, or bypass authentication, paywalls, or other access controls.
4. Engage in credential abuse, including credential sharing, credential stuffing, or trafficking in account credentials.
5. Conduct unauthorized large-scale scraping, harvesting, or automated extraction of content from the Services.
6. Run automation that materially interferes with the Services or with other users’ access to them.
7. Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Services, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits it despite this restriction.
8. Substantially copy or redistribute our content without authorization, as described in “Airworthy Academy Intellectual Property” below.
9. Resell, sublicense, or commercially share account access.
10. Impersonate another person, or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone.
11. Harass or abuse other users or our staff.

Studying with practice questions, reviewing explanations of questions you missed, and taking practice examinations are ordinary, legitimate parts of preparing for an aviation examination. That is what the Services are for.

Examination integrity is a different matter. You agree not to:

• Upload, submit, solicit, or distribute live or otherwise protected examination content that has been improperly obtained.
• Use the Services as unauthorized assistance during an examination where outside assistance is prohibited.
• Otherwise take part in the deliberate compromise of an examination.

Paid plans are not yet available. This section sets out the terms that will apply to Premium when it launches, so that they are clear in advance.

Airworthy Academy will offer a free tier and paid Premium plans. The price that applies to you is the one shown to you when you subscribe.

Premium Monthly

$19.99 per month, renewing monthly until you cancel.

Premium Annual

$199.99 per year, renewing annually until you cancel.

Prices are in US dollars and exclude any taxes that may apply, which are added where required.

We retain all rights in our original and proprietary material, including our curriculum, the organization and structure of our lessons, our original explanations, graphics, videos, software, simulations, original practice questions, and branding.

We do not claim ownership of United States government works, or of third-party material, that appears in or is referenced by the Services.

You keep whatever ownership rights you already have in what you submit to the Services — your notes, your questions, your prompts, documents you upload, and anything else you provide. Submitting something to Airworthy Academy does not transfer ownership of it to us.

To run the Services, we need permission to handle what you submit. You grant us a non-exclusive licence to do the following, and only for the purpose of operating and providing the Services to you:

• Host and store your content.
• Process it as needed to provide the feature you are using.
• Display it back to you.
• Transmit it to, and have it processed by, the service providers involved in a feature you invoke.
• Make technical copies and backups.

This licence does not permit us to use your content for unrelated purposes. Using your AI conversations to improve our AI or our products is governed separately by the opt-in described in “AI Features and Our Curated Curriculum” above.

You are responsible for having the rights or permission you need for any third-party material you submit.

If you voluntarily send us suggestions, product ideas, feature requests, or other feedback about Airworthy Academy, we may use it to improve the Services without owing you compensation or any other obligation.

This section applies only to feedback you choose to send us about the Services. It does not apply to your notes, your documents, your study data, or your conversations with our AI features, which are covered by “Your Content” above and by our Privacy Policy.

We work to keep the Services running well, but we do not guarantee that they will be uninterrupted or error-free, that every feature will remain available permanently, or that every piece of information will be current at every moment.

We may carry out maintenance, change or improve features, replace the providers we rely on, and add or discontinue features as the product develops.

Where a change would materially affect a paid Service you are using, we will give you reasonable notice where it is practical to do so or where the law requires it. If we discontinue a paid feature in a way that materially affects what you subscribed to, the treatment described in “Suspension and Termination” below applies.

The Services rely on third parties for things like hosting, authentication, payment processing, email delivery, and — where such features exist — AI processing. The Services may also link to third-party websites and resources.

We do not control third-party services or the content they provide, and we are not responsible for them. Their own terms and privacy practices apply when you use them.

Except as expressly stated in these Terms, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim implied warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that:

• You will pass any examination, or obtain any certificate, rating, or endorsement.
• You will qualify for any medical certificate, or obtain employment.
• The Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.
• Our material will be complete, or current to the minute.
• Responses generated by AI features will be accurate.

Nothing in this section limits any express commitment we make elsewhere in these Terms, including our commitments about cancellation and billing.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here removes rights you have that cannot lawfully be waived.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Airworthy Academy will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost opportunities, lost data, or lost or delayed training, certification, or employment outcomes, arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid us in the twelve months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations or exclusions of liability. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, and where a limitation is not permitted, it does not apply to you.

If a third party brings a claim against us because of your material breach of these Terms, your infringement or misappropriation of someone else's rights, your fraud, or your unlawful misuse of the Services, you agree to defend and indemnify us against that claim, including reasonable legal costs, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

This does not apply to any claim to the extent it arises from our own conduct. We will notify you promptly of any claim we seek indemnification for, and we may participate in the defence with our own counsel. Neither of us will settle a claim in a way that imposes an obligation or admission on the other without that party's consent.

You may stop using the Services at any time, and you can cancel a subscription as described in “Cancellation and Refunds” above.

Sections that by their nature should continue after your account ends — including those covering intellectual property, your content, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and governing law — survive termination.

We do not require arbitration, and nothing in these Terms asks you to give up your right to take part in a class action.

If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, it may proceed through the courts or any other mechanism legally available to you.

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to the Services, are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

This does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer protection laws that apply where you live, or of any other rights you cannot waive by agreement.

We may update these Terms as Airworthy Academy develops. We will not make changes in a deliberately obscure way.

For minor or administrative changes, posting the updated document with a new “last updated” date may be all that is needed, where that is legally appropriate.

For material changes that affect your rights or obligations, we will give you reasonable advance notice by email, by a prominent notice in the product, or both, and we will tell you when the change takes effect. Where applicable law requires your fresh affirmative consent, we will ask for it. If you do not agree to a material change, you can cancel before it takes effect.

If you have questions about these Terms, or need to raise something covered by “Resolving Disputes” above, email us at support@airworthyacademy.com.
