Legal

Terms of service

The agreement between a subscribing club and Hughes Technology LLC. Short, and in the language everything else on this site is written in.

1. Who is agreeing

These terms are between Hughes Technology LLC ("we", "us") and the club or organisation that subscribes ("you"). The person who signs up warrants that they may do so on the club’s behalf. Members who use the software do so under the club’s account and under the club’s own rules.

2. Subscription and billing

FlightWay is sold monthly or yearly at the prices published on the pricing page, priced by the number of aircraft, with members included. Payment is by card through Stripe. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period until cancelled.

If your fleet changes, tell us and we change the subscription quantity; Stripe prorates the difference against the current period. If we change our prices, existing subscribers are told before the change takes effect at their next renewal.

3. Cancelling

You can cancel at any time, with no minimum term and no notice period. Cancellation stops the next renewal and access continues to the end of the period you have already paid for. We do not automatically refund part of a period. If something has gone wrong, tell us and we will deal with it reasonably rather than pointing at this paragraph.

4. Your data is yours

The club owns its data: members, aircraft, flights, maintenance records, documents and the entire ledger. We hold it to run the service for you, and process it on your instructions.

You can export the full journal, every entry and every line, plus flights and roster, from inside the app at any time and without asking us. After a subscription ends we keep the data for a short wind-down period so you can export it, then delete it. See the privacy policy for the detail.

5. Acceptable use

Do not use FlightWay to break the law, do not attempt to reach another club’s data, do not attack or overload the service, and do not resell it as your own. We may suspend an account that is doing one of those, and we will say why.

6. Availability

We work to keep the service running and to deploy without downtime, but we do not offer a contractual uptime guarantee, and there will be occasional maintenance. Nothing here should be relied on as the sole record of anything safety-critical, which brings us to the next paragraph.

7. The limits of what this software is

• Maintenance, inspection and airworthiness directive tracking is a tracking aid, not the legal record. The signed logbook entry and the certificated mechanic’s or IA’s signature remain the artefacts of authority.
• Airworthiness remains the responsibility of the pilot in command and of the club. Software that shows an aircraft as available is not a determination that it is airworthy.
• Live aircraft position comes from volunteer community receiver networks, can be incomplete or delayed, and is not for navigation.
• FlightWay keeps books; it does not give accounting, tax or legal advice. Your club remains responsible for its filings and for its own compliance.

8. Liability

To the extent the law allows, our total liability arising out of the service is limited to the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

9. Changes to the service and to these terms

The software changes continuously, mostly by getting better. If we remove something a club depends on, or change these terms in a way that matters, we tell subscribers by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that is acceptance; if you would rather leave, clause 3 applies and your data comes with you.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, United States, and the courts of Kentucky have jurisdiction.
