Terms of Service
Last updated: August 27, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and AirClear ("AirClear," "we," "us"), the developer of the AirClear mobile application and the website airclear.app (together, the "Service"). By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. What AirClear Is — and Is Not
AirClear is an informational reference tool for drone pilots in the United States. It displays airspace information assembled from government and public data sources, including FAA UAS Facility Maps, Temporary Flight Restrictions, Special Use Airspace, National Security UAS Flight Restrictions, stadium event-time restrictions, federal land boundaries, protected-area data, and a summary of state and local drone law.
AirClear is not an official source of airspace information, does not provide airspace authorization of any kind (including LAANC), and does not provide legal advice. Nothing displayed in the Service authorizes you to fly anywhere, and no "clear" or advisory indication is a guarantee that flight is safe or lawful at that location or time.
2. Safety Disclaimer and Pilot Responsibility
Airspace data changes constantly. The information in the Service may be incomplete, delayed, inaccurate, or out of date, and coverage of state and local rules is a summary, not a complete statement of the law.
You, as the operator of your aircraft, are solely responsible for the legality and safety of every flight. This includes, without limitation: complying with all applicable FAA regulations (including 14 CFR Part 107 or the exception for recreational flyers under 49 U.S.C. § 44809), completing TRUST or holding required certificates, registering your aircraft and complying with Remote ID where required, obtaining LAANC or other FAA authorization where required, checking NOTAMs and Temporary Flight Restrictions before every flight, and complying with all state, local, and land-manager rules.
Always verify with official sources — such as the FAA, NOTAMs, and local authorities — before flying. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you understand these limitations and assume all risk associated with your flight operations.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. The Service is intended for use in the United States. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements.
4. Your Account
You may create an account using an email address and password, Google, or Apple. You agree to provide accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and accept responsibility for activity under your account. You may delete your account at any time in the app (Account → Delete account); deletion is permanent and removes your account data as described in the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
5. Price
The Service is currently free. We may introduce paid features in the future; if we do, we will present their terms before you pay for anything.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to: use the Service to plan or carry out unlawful flight operations; scrape, bulk-download, or systematically extract data from the Service; interfere with, probe, or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure; reverse engineer or copy the app except where the law permits it; misrepresent reports submitted through the "report wrong data" feature; or use the Service in any manner that violates applicable law.
7. User Submissions
If you submit content through the Service (for example, a data report describing an error, or custom drone information), you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that content to operate, correct, and improve the Service. You represent that your submissions are accurate to the best of your knowledge and do not violate anyone's rights.
8. Third-Party Data and Services
The Service displays data from third parties and government sources (including the FAA, USGS, PAD-US, and map providers) and relies on third-party services for sign-in, hosting, and analytics. We do not control these sources, and their data and availability are provided "as is." Government data displayed in the Service may be in the public domain; the Service's own design, code, text, and compilation are owned by AirClear and protected by applicable intellectual-property law. We grant you a personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on your devices for your own use.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE AIRSPACE INFORMATION DISPLAYED IS COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR CORRECT.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AIRCLEAR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, AIRCRAFT, PROPERTY, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR YOUR FLIGHT OPERATIONS — INCLUDING ANY FINE, PENALTY, ENFORCEMENT ACTION, ACCIDENT, OR INJURY RESULTING FROM RELIANCE ON INFORMATION DISPLAYED IN THE SERVICE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US $50) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold AirClear harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your flight operations, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right in connection with your use of the Service.
12. Apple App Store and Google Play
If you downloaded the app from Apple's App Store, the following applies: these Terms are between you and AirClear, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. In the event the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund any purchase price (there is none for a free app); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple is not responsible for addressing claims relating to the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, and consumer protection claims, or third-party intellectual-property claims. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Your use of the app must also comply with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
If you downloaded the app from Google Play, your use must also comply with the Google Play Terms of Service.
13. Changes to the Service and These Terms
We may modify or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time. We may update these Terms; if we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and take reasonable steps to notify you, such as an in-app notice. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
14. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at hello@airclear.app and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for 30 days. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable consumer rights under the law of your state of residence.
15. General
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and AirClear regarding the Service. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a transfer of the Service.
