Terms of Use

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between 13 and the age of majority where you live, you should use the Service only with permission of a parent or legal guardian.

The Service and non-affiliation

The Service is a flight-observation utility that lets travelers view flight information and share brief, text-only observations associated with flights.

Airlert is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any airline, airport, government agency, or flight data provider. The Service is informational only and is not a substitute for official communications from your airline or airport.

Device-based identity

The Service is anonymous and device-based. There is no sign-up or login required to use core features. Instead, the Service uses a pseudonymous device identifier (for example, a client_id) and device-bound credentials (for example, a client_secret) to help operate the Service and associate your posts with your chosen display name.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device. If you uninstall the app, reset the app, or clear local storage, the device identifier and credentials on your device may change, and you may lose access to prior local preferences (such as blocks).

User-generated content

The Service may allow you to submit short, text-only observations (“Posts”). Posts are public to other users viewing the same flight.

• Text-only: No images, videos, files, or attachments.
• Length limits: Post text is limited (for example, up to 50 characters).
• Display name limits: Display names are limited (for example, up to 24 characters) and are locked after your first post. Your display name is enforced by our servers as the saved value associated with your device identifier.

You are solely responsible for your Posts and you represent that you have all rights needed to submit them. Do not include sensitive personal information in Posts (such as phone numbers, email addresses, home addresses, or government IDs).

License to operate and improve the Service

You retain ownership of your Posts. However, by submitting a Post, you grant Airlert a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute your Post only as reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, and improve the Service (including making Posts available to other users viewing the same flight).

This license includes the right to share your Post with our service providers (processors) solely to provide infrastructure and related services for Airlert. The license continues for as long as your Post is stored or displayed in connection with the Service, and for reasonable backup, security, and legal compliance purposes.

Prohibited use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation
• Harass, threaten, incite violence, or post hateful content
• Impersonate an airline, airport, government agency, crew member, or Airlert staff
• Post spam, scams, or deliberately misleading flight information
• Post another person’s private or identifying information
• Infringe intellectual property or other rights
• Bypass or attempt to bypass on-device checks or other safety measures
• Interfere with the Service, probe for vulnerabilities, or attempt unauthorized access
• Automate access in a way that meaningfully burdens the Service (e.g., scraping)

Additional behavioral rules are described in the Community Guidelines.

Filtering and safety disclosures

The Service uses automated checks designed to reduce certain types of objectionable content and impersonation. These checks occur on your device (for example, client-side profanity and anti-impersonation checks).

Our servers enforce the saved display name associated with a device identifier. However, we do not operate a server-side profanity or “body text” filter for Post text, and no automated system is perfect. You may encounter content you find offensive or inaccurate.

Third-party information and accuracy

Flight information shown in the Service may come from third-party data sources and may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate. Posts are user-submitted observations and are unverified.

Do not rely on the Service as your sole source of truth. Always confirm critical travel details directly with your airline and official airport channels.

Privacy

Please review our Privacy Policy to understand how we collect, use, and share information.

Intellectual property and DMCA

The Service, including its design, text, graphics, and trademarks, is owned by Airlert or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not use our name or trademarks without our prior written permission.

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, you may send a notification to:
support@airlert.app

A proper copyright notice should include (a) identification of the copyrighted work, (b) identification of the allegedly infringing material and where it appears, (c) your contact information, (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized, (e) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act, and (f) a physical or electronic signature.

Changes to the Service

We may change, suspend, or discontinue the Service (in whole or in part) at any time. We may also change or add new features. Any such changes may affect how Posts are displayed, retained, or accessed.

Because the Service is anonymous and device-based, some enforcement or remediation actions may be technically limited. The Service may not provide an in-app feature to delete or edit individual Posts.

Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AIRLERT DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any information (including third-party flight data or Posts) will be accurate or reliable.

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AIRLERT AND ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AIRLERT’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) US $50 OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO AIRLERT (IF ANY) IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Airlert from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the Service, (b) your Posts, or (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

Dispute resolution, arbitration, and governing law

Informal resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at support@airlert.app and provide a brief description of the dispute and the relief you seek. The parties will attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

Binding arbitration. Except as described below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its consumer arbitration rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.

Small-claims carve-out. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies and remains in that court. Either party may also seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for misuse of intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service.

No class actions. You and Airlert agree that disputes will be brought only on an individual basis. You and Airlert waive any right to bring or participate in any class, collective, coordinated, or representative action, whether in court or in arbitration.

Governing law. Except where the Federal Arbitration Act applies, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
