Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by FlytBase and FlytBase’s licensors.

The Sites may contain or be accompanied by software code provided by third parties (“Third Party Software”) that is subject to separate license terms (the “Third Party Terms”), and not any license contained in these Terms. Your use of the Third Party Software in conjunction with the Sites in a manner consistent with the Terms is permitted. However, you may have broader rights under the applicable Third Party Terms and nothing in these Terms is intended to impose further restrictions on your use of the Third Party Software.

The Sites are owned and operated by FlytBase. The visual interfaces, graphics, design, compilation, information, data, computer code (including source code or object code), products, software, services, and all other elements of the Sites (“Materials”) provided by FlytBase are protected by intellectual property and other laws.

User Content

"User Content" means any and all information and content displayed, shared, uploaded, transferred, published, posted, used, distributed or disseminated with the Sites by a user of the Sites or through such user’s Credentials on the Sites. Certain features of the Sites may permit users to generate or post content, including messages, reviews, video, maps, models, folders, data, text, photographs, images, and data gathered by a drone or device. Such content is also included in User Content.

User Content License

To provide our Sites, we do require a license to your User Content, so that we can store your data on our servers, process it and transmit it to you: when you upload, submit, store, send or receive content to or through our Sites, you hereby grant to FlytBase (and those we work with) a non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, store, reproduce, process, modify, publish, transmit, display, and distribute your User Content.

This license continues even if you stop using our Sites.

Why do we need these rights? The following situations are a few examples of where we would need these rights:

  1. In order to receive your uploaded images, we need the right to store and transmit the data.
  2. We need the rights to store, transmit, process, modify the User Content in order to turn your data into different forms of maps and models.
  3. If you would like to see the resulting maps/models and share them with people you have selected using FlytBase, we need the rights to transmit, display and distribute your User Content.
  4. To test, modify, enhance and improve the Sites, and/or for diagnostic purposes, whether requested by you or not.

FlytBase will maintain commercially reasonable security measures to protect User Content in its possession or control, or in the possession or control of its personnel, from unauthorized access, use, copying or disclosure.

If you choose to share materials, solutions and/or ideas with others using the Sites, you agree to irrevocably waive (and cause to be waived) any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to your User Content.

In the absence of a written agreement with FlytBase to the contrary, you agree that you will not submit to FlytBase any information or ideas that you consider to be confidential or proprietary.

FlytBase’s privacy policies explain how we treat your personal data and protect your privacy when you use our Sites. By using our Sites, you agree that FlytBase can use such data in accordance with our privacy policies.

SOME JURISDICTIONS PROVIDE FOR CERTAIN WARRANTIES, LIKE THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE EXCLUDE ALL WARRANTIES.

You hereby release us, our officers, employees, agents and successors from claims, demands, any and all losses, damages, rights, claims, and actions of any kind including personal injuries, death, and property damage that is either directly or indirectly related to or arises from any interactions with or conduct of other Website users or Third-Party Ads and Websites.

Dispute Resolution

These Terms provide that all disputes between you and FlytBase will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. You agree to give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under this contract, except for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator and not a judge or jury, and your claims cannot be brought as a class action.

Jurisdiction

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide the application of the law of another jurisdiction. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within the State of California for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect our Intellectual Property Rights in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Entire Agreement

This Agreement (which includes the Privacy Policy - https://flytbase.com/privacy-policy/), as well as the Acceptable Use and Copyright & Trademark Policies (contained within this Agreement) and any other rules posted on the Sites) constitutes the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Sites. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word including means including without limitation. If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Independent Parties

You agree that neither party is an agent or partner of the other.

Assignment

This Agreement, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without FlytBase’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon assignees

About these Terms

We have full right to modify these Terms or any additional terms that apply to the Sites, for example, reflect changes to the law or changes to our Sites. You should look at the Terms regularly.

These Terms control the relationship between FlytBase and you. They do not create any third party beneficiary rights. If there is a conflict between these Terms and any additional terms, the additional terms will control for that conflict.

If you do not comply with these Terms, and we don’t take action right away, this doesn’t mean that we are giving up any rights that we may have (such as taking action in the future).

If it turns out that a particular term is not enforceable, this will not affect any other terms.
