Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions form a legal agreement between you and Luarnol LLC ("Luarnol," "Company," "we," "us," or "our") and govern your use of the Flight Plan Maker ("FPL Maker") app, related websites, downloadable content, online services, support content, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
1. Eligibility and Acceptable Use
You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws, regulations, export controls, sanctions rules, aviation requirements, and app store policies. You may not use the Services for any unlawful, infringing, abusive, fraudulent, misleading, harmful, or safety-critical purpose.
If you are considered a minor under the law where you live, you may use the Services only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.
You represent and agree that you will not:
- use the Services while operating an aircraft or vehicle in a manner that is unlawful, unsafe, or inconsistent with required procedures;
- use the Services as a substitute for certified avionics, official charts, required briefings, required records, or mandated operational documentation;

2. License
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use FPL Maker for your own lawful personal or internal business use. This license does not give you ownership of the app, its code, branding, datasets, design, or related content.
You may not, except where applicable law or an open-source license expressly permits it:
- copy, resell, sublicense, lease, lend, timeshare, redistribute, or commercially exploit the Services;
- modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works from proprietary portions of the Services;
- remove, obscure, or alter proprietary notices, labels, legal attributions, or technical protections;
- use the Services to build, train, benchmark, or support a competing product in a manner that violates applicable law;
- access the Services through automated means except through expressly permitted functionality.
3. User Content and Storage
The app may allow you to create and store flight plans, aircraft records, routes, notes, settings, signatures, and related content ("User Content"). You retain whatever rights you may have in your User Content, but you are solely responsible for its legality, ownership, permissions, accuracy, completeness, backup, suitability, and consequences of use.
By using features that process, store, transmit, back up, synchronize, export, or display User Content, you instruct us and our service providers to host, process, transmit, cache, reproduce, and format that User Content solely as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, maintain, improve, and support the Services.
User Content may be stored locally on your device and, depending on platform, build, enabled features, and device or account configuration, may also be backed up or synchronized through supported platform or cloud services, such as Apple's iCloud/CloudKit on Apple platforms, Google/Firebase services on supported builds, or Android device backup and transfer services. Not all data types or features are available on every platform or build.
You are solely responsible for maintaining your own independent backups of any information you consider important. We have no obligation to preserve, recover, or provide copies of User Content, and we are not responsible for deletion, corruption, loss, unavailability, or failed restoration of any User Content.
4. Maps, Aviation Data, Weather, and External Services
The Services may display, download, or reference online and offline maps, airport databases, airspace layers, weather information, and other third-party or public data, including content derived from sources such as Google Maps, Apple Maps on supported Apple platforms, MapLibre, OpenStreetMap, OpenMapTiles, Luarnol-hosted offline map packages, OpenAIP, OurAirports, AviationWeather.gov, and similar providers, mirrors, licensors, public agencies, or successor services.
We do not control all third-party data sources and do not guarantee their continued availability, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, authenticity, legal status, or fitness for any purpose. Airport locations, routes, frequencies, airspaces, obstacles, elevations, terrain, navaids, METAR data, TAF forecasts, NOTAM-related information, compass indications, heading, speed, altitude, pressure, and map layers may be incomplete, delayed, outdated, mismatched, corrupted, or wrong.
The Services may also let you open locations in third-party apps, websites, or system handlers such as Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps on supported Apple platforms, or a web browser. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them.
5. Subscriptions, Paid Features, Trials, and Future Changes
Some features of FPL Maker may require a paid subscription or an active promotional, trial, or other entitlement. Available plans, feature sets, prices, trial structures, and eligibility rules may change over time, including by region, platform, or app version.
- Subscriptions are billed through the app store or billing platform used for your purchase, such as Apple's App Store or Google Play, and not directly by Luarnol unless expressly stated.
- The applicable store or billing platform controls billing, renewals, cancellations, refunds, payment method handling, grace periods, account status, family sharing rules, and many store-specific notices and conversion rules, subject to its own terms and policies.
- Unless the applicable store states otherwise, subscriptions may renew automatically until canceled by you.
- You can manage or cancel subscriptions through the subscription settings of the store account used for purchase.
- Where supported by the platform and our integrations, you may be able to restore prior purchases or entitlements from within the app, but restore availability and results depend on store account status, platform rules, regional availability, and successful entitlement verification.
- We may offer a free trial, introductory offer, promotional entitlement, discount, or limited-time access period. Trial or offer eligibility, duration, scope, availability, conversion terms, and continued availability may change and are not guaranteed.
- If a trial, promotional entitlement, subscription, or restored entitlement ends, expires, fails to renew, is canceled, is refunded, is charged back, is revoked, or cannot be verified, certain features may stop working, may become read-only, may require repurchase, or may be unavailable.
- We may add, remove, suspend, or reclassify features, content, entitlements, or subscription tiers at any time, including for legal, product, operational, or provider-related reasons.
6. Disclaimers for Flight and Navigation Use
FPL Maker is not a replacement for certified avionics, approved navigation devices, official flight plans, operational charts, official airport publications, NOTAM review, weather briefings, dispatch systems, terrain awareness systems, collision avoidance systems, or any legally required aviation documentation, verification, checks, or procedures.
Phone sensors, tablets, consumer devices, Bluetooth accessories, network connectivity, and downloaded offline packages are not guaranteed to be reliable, accurate, available, or suitable for aviation use. Location, heading, barometric pressure, altitude, route computations, time estimates, distance estimates, sunrise or sunset calculations, runway information, frequencies, or displayed weather may be wrong or unavailable.
You are solely responsible for all planning, navigation, operational, dispatch, safety, compliance, and go/no-go decisions. For real-world flight, always rely on official sources, current legally required information, certified equipment, and procedures required by the applicable aviation authority, aircraft documentation, and operator rules.
7. No Professional Advice; No Emergency Use
The Services do not provide legal, aviation regulatory, engineering, maintenance, dispatch, meteorological, emergency, or other professional advice. Any information or outputs are general informational tools only and do not create any advisory, fiduciary, professional, or safety-related duty.
The Services are not designed, intended, or warranted for emergency use, distress situations, search and rescue activation, or time-critical communication. Do not rely on the Services where failure, delay, inaccuracy, or unavailability could contribute to death, personal injury, environmental harm, or property damage.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, AVAILABILITY, OR RELIABILITY.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, TIMELY, COMPLETE, SUITABLE FOR YOUR NEEDS, FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR DEVICE, AIRCRAFT, WORKFLOW, REGION, OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT ANY DATA, MAPS, WEATHER, ROUTES, SEARCH RESULTS, AVIATION LAYERS, OR OTHER CONTENT WILL BE CORRECT, CURRENT, OR AVAILABLE.
9. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LUARNOL LLC AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MANAGERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OPPORTUNITY, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE ALSO NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AIRCRAFT DAMAGE, OPERATIONAL LOSS, FUEL LOSS, VIOLATION, ENFORCEMENT ACTION, AVIATION INCIDENT, DEVIATION, MISROUTING, DISORIENTATION, WEATHER-RELATED DECISION, MISSED NOTICE, REGULATORY NONCOMPLIANCE, OR DECISION MADE IN RELIANCE ON THE SERVICES OR ON ANY CONTENT DISPLAYED, DOWNLOADED, COMPUTED, STORED, SYNCHRONIZED, OR REFERENCED THROUGH THE SERVICES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US OR THROUGH THE APPLICABLE STORE FOR THE SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $50.
THE LIMITATIONS IN THESE TERMS APPLY EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE AND EVEN IF WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE RELEVANT DAMAGES.
IF APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS, THEY APPLY ONLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
10. Indemnity
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Luarnol LLC and its officers, directors, managers, members, employees, contractors, licensors, affiliates, agents, and service providers from and against any claims, demands, actions, proceedings, damages, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to your User Content, your misuse of the Services, your violation of these Terms, your violation of applicable law, or your violation of any rights of another person or entity.
11. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend, restrict, modify, disable, or terminate access to all or part of the Services at any time, with or without notice, if we believe that doing so is necessary for maintenance, legal compliance, abuse prevention, provider changes, security, operational integrity, product changes, nonpayment, chargebacks, entitlement verification failure, or protection of users, providers, or the Services themselves.
Upon termination, all rights granted to you under these Terms cease immediately, but provisions that by their nature should survive will survive, including provisions regarding ownership, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, governing law, venue, dispute restrictions, and interpretation.
12. Intellectual Property
The Services, including software, branding, visual design, text, compiled datasets, downloads, documentation, and proprietary materials, are owned by Luarnol or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property and other laws. Third-party names, marks, datasets, and services remain the property of their respective owners.
13. Beta, Experimental, and Evolving Features
Some features may be labeled beta, preview, experimental, early access, or similar, or may otherwise be newly released or evolving. Those features may be incomplete, changed, interrupted, removed, unsupported, or unstable at any time and may be subject to additional limitations.
14. Changes to the Services or These Terms
We may update, suspend, discontinue, or modify the Services, any portion of the Services, and these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms become effective when posted, unless a later date is stated. Continued use of the Services after updated Terms take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
15. Time Limit to Bring Claims
To the maximum extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the claim arose, or it will be permanently barred. This limitation does not apply where prohibited by applicable law.
16. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA, without regard to conflict of law rules. To the extent permitted by law, disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Wyoming, USA, and you and Luarnol consent to that personal jurisdiction and venue.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, any dispute will be brought only in an individual capacity and not as part of a class, consolidated, collective, or representative action. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable consumer rights or other rights you may have under applicable law.
17. General Provisions
- Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable store terms that govern your purchase, form the entire agreement between you and Luarnol regarding the Services.
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, invalid, or illegal, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted.
- No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or of any other provision.
- Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, corporate reorganization, or sale of assets.
- Interpretation. Headings are for convenience only. The words "including" and "include" mean "including without limitation."
- Force majeure. We are not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, labor disputes, government action, sanctions, internet or cloud outages, data-source outages, app store actions, cyberattacks, or power failures.
