You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although material provided through PlaneSurfers’s Services may contain links to third-party websites and resources, we do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, or the related content, products, or services (including, without limitation, any viruses or other disabling features), nor do we have any obligation to monitor such third-party content.

If you purchase any of our Premium Services, you agree to pay us the applicable fees and taxes. Failure to pay these fees may result in the termination of your subscription. From time to time, PlaneSurfers may offer a free trial of Premium Services (“Free Trial”). After the duration of the Free Trial (the “Free Trial Term”), the Free Trial will automatically become a regular paid subscription to the Premium Services, and PlaneSurfers will bill for the first segment of the Premium Services that you have signed up for (i.e. quarterly, semi-annually, or annually) on the 1st day after your Free Trial Term ends unless you cancel during the Free Trial Term.

If you did not sign up using a Free Trial, you may, during the first 30 days of a paid subscription through the Premium Services, seek a refund of your payment (the “30-Day Refund”). You may request a 30-Day Refund by sending your request via email to support@planesurfers.com. If a refund is issued, your access to Premium Services will be discontinued. Each user may redeem only one Free Trial or one 30-Day Refund. PlaneSurfers reserves the right to terminate the account of any user that attempts to use more than one Free Trial or 30-Day Refund without authorization. If you believe you should be entitled to a refund after the first 30 days of your paid subscription, PlaneSurfers will issue refunds at its sole discretion. PlaneSurfers is under no obligation to issue a refund at any time, but please contact us if you want to discuss your issue.

Cancellation Policy. PlaneSurfers has no obligation to notify you when (1) your Free Trial ends or is scheduled to end, (2) your 30-Day Refund period ends or is scheduled to end, or (3) when your account is charged or is scheduled to be charged. To cancel your Free Trial, you may cancel your subscription by contacting us at support@planesurfers.com or cancel it directly in your account by logging into your account here: https://app.planesurfers.com/login. If you do not cancel your Free Trial during the Free Trial Term, you will be billed for the first period (quarterly, semi-annual, or annual) of Premium Services on the 1st day after the Free Trial Term ends. For subscribers to the Premium Services (“Premium Subscribers”), you may cancel your subscription any time by contacting us at support@planesurfers.com or cancel it directly in your account by logging into your account here: https://app.planesurfers.com/login. Our subscription charges are billed according to the schedule you signed up for (i.e. monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually) and are not refundable once they have been charged. We do not issue pro-rated refunds on any unused portion of your subscription.

You agree to contact us if there are any billing issues, duplicate charges, etc. before disputing any charges as illegitimate. We will treat you fairly and fix any mistakes as long as you contact us before disputing the charge.

In appropriate circumstances and pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate or refuse access to users of our system who are repeat infringers.

It is a violation of federal law to knowingly materially misrepresent that material is infringing.

We make no warranty that our Services will meet your requirements, be safe, secure, uninterrupted, timely, accurate, or error-free, or that your information will be secure. You understand that when you use the Services, you may be exposed to information that is inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and you agree to waive, and hereby do waive, any legal or equitable rights or remedies you may have against PlaneSurfers with respect to your exposure to such content. You acknowledge and agree that PlaneSurfers may suspend or discontinue, without prior notice to you and at PlaneSurfers’ sole discretion, some or all of its services, making the services unavailable to you or other users.

Arbitration

By using the Services in any way, you unconditionally consent and agree that: (1) any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) you may have against PlaneSurfers arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with the Services or the determination of the scope or applicability of these Terms to arbitrate, will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS and conducted before a sole arbitrator in accordance with the rules of JAMS; (2) this arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16; (3) the arbitration shall be held in the major United States city that is closest to our place of residence; (4) the arbitrator’s decision shall be controlled by these Terms and any of the other agreements referenced herein that you may have entered into in connection with PlaneSurfers; (5) the arbitrator shall apply Alabama law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (6) there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis, and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; and (7) the arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive damages against you or PlaneSurfers. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the rules of JAMS, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (6) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor PlaneSurfers shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute.

Miscellaneous

The failure of PlaneSurfers to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. A waiver is valid and effective only if it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of PlaneSurfers.

If any provision in the Terms is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated from the Terms to the minimum extent necessary and will not affect the validity and enforceability of other provisions.

The heading references herein are for convenience only. The headings do not constitute a part of the Terms, and will not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

You agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the Services must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise such cause of action is permanently barred.

The Terms, and your relationship with PlaneSurfers under the Terms, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Alabama. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to the Terms that is not subject to the arbitration provision herein will be filed only in the state or federal courts in and for Madison County, Alabama, and you hereby consent and submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action.

If you access the Services form other locations, you do so on your own initiative and you are solely responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. These Terms shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the United States, (without regard to its conflicts of law principles that would cause the application of any other jurisdiction’s laws) and will specifically not be governed by the United Nations Conventions on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, if otherwise applicable. You hereby consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in Madison County, Alabama any cause of action relating to or arising under these Terms or the Services that does not otherwise fall within the Arbitration provision above.
