Aerflow Terms of Service

Last updated: · Version 1.7 · Contact: [email protected] · Operator: Switchyard Studio

1. Agreement

By downloading, accessing, or using Aerflow, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. Aerflow is operated by Switchyard Studio. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

2. Service Description

Aerflow is a personal informational tool designed to help pilots organize schedule information, view flight status, and access public aviation weather. Optional features include Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, friend schedule sharing, and Crew Lock Screen tracking for friends you authorize. Aerflow is not an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), dispatch system, crew scheduling system, or certified aviation product. It does not replace operator-approved manuals, dispatch releases, or regulatory guidance. Live Activities and shared status displays are informational and may be delayed, especially when the app is in the background.

3. Subscriptions

Certain Aerflow features require a paid subscription, billed through Apple’s App Store:

  • Aerflow Pro — unlimited saved flights, turbulence insights, Live Activities, and Pilot Stats
  • Aerflow Pro + Crew — everything in Pro, plus Lock Screen tracking for one friend you authorize (friends do not need their own subscription)
  • Crew Unlimited — everything in Pro, plus Lock Screen tracking for unlimited friends you authorize

Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID account settings. Any free trial, if offered, converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled before the trial ends.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use Aerflow only for lawful, personal purposes. You may not:

  • Use Aerflow for operational flight planning, dispatch release, or regulatory compliance decisions
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, scrape, or disrupt the app or its services
  • Share account credentials or misuse friend-sharing features to expose others’ data without consent
  • Enable Crew Lock Screen tracking for someone who has not opted in, or monitor colleagues without their knowledge and consent
  • Upload or share information in violation of your employer’s confidentiality policies
  • Use Aerflow in any way that harms us, other users, or third-party providers

5. Third-Party Data

Aerflow displays data from third-party sources, including FlightAware, the FAA Releasable Aircraft Database (airframe make/model for U.S. registrations when available), and public aviation weather providers. FlightAware status and tracking data are typically requested by Aerflow servers when you are signed in. We do not control and cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of third-party data. Delays, omissions, and errors may occur. You are responsible for verifying all operational information through approved sources before making aviation decisions.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

AERFLOW IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT AERFLOW WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY OPERATIONAL USE.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Aerflow and its developers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the app. Our total liability for any claim relating to Aerflow will not exceed the amount you paid us for the app or subscriptions in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred U.S. dollars if you have not paid anything. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8. User Content

You may enter schedule information, profile details, and photos in Aerflow. You retain ownership of your content. You grant us a limited license to host, process, and display your content as needed to operate the service — for example, storing your private personal schedule and preferences for account backup and sync, shared schedule snapshots for friends you approve, profile photos, and Live Activity context. You represent that you have the right to share any content you upload and that doing so complies with your employer’s policies.

9. Intellectual Property

Aerflow, its design, logos, and software are owned by Switchyard Studio or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right to use our trademarks or branding except as needed to use the app.

10. Termination

You may stop using Aerflow at any time and may delete your account in Settings. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the service. Sections that by their nature should survive (including disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law) will survive termination.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, ask you to accept the updated Terms in the app. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence apply.

13. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Switchyard Studio from claims arising from your misuse of Aerflow, your violation of these Terms, or your sharing of information in violation of applicable law or employer policies.

14. Apple

Aerflow is made available through Apple’s App Store. These Terms are between you and Switchyard Studio, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support. In the event of any failure of Aerflow to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple for a refund of the purchase price, if any; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

15. Eligibility

Aerflow is intended for users age 16 and older. By using the app, you represent that you meet this age requirement.
