- or other simulator add-ons.
Compatibility is not guaranteed.
Different aircraft may expose different simulator variables or telemetry.
As a result:
- some metrics may be unavailable;
- some metrics may be approximate;
- some systems may be unsupported;
- third-party updates may temporarily or permanently break compatibility;
- and some aircraft may require specific PilotPilot compatibility profiles.
PilotPilot is not responsible for third-party software, third-party purchases, or modifications made by third-party developers.
Your use of third-party products remains subject to the terms imposed by those third parties.

- passenger comfort;
- taxi behavior;
- flight phases;
- fuel consumption;
- harsh acceleration;
- unusual flight events;
- simulator-integrity events;
- or flight scoring.
Collection and handling of information associated with an identifiable user is further described in the PilotPilot Privacy Policy.
10. LOCAL AND OFFLINE FLIGHT RECORDING
PilotPilot may temporarily store flight information on your device.
This may occur when:
- internet connectivity is unavailable;
- PilotPilot servers cannot be reached;
- data is waiting to synchronize;
- a flight is currently being recorded; or
- recovery information is necessary to prevent loss of a flight.
Locally stored information may later be transmitted to PilotPilot when connectivity returns.
You are responsible for maintaining sufficient device storage and a reasonably functional system.
PilotPilot does not guarantee that every interrupted or corrupted flight can be recovered.
11. SIMULATOR INTEGRITY
PilotPilot may record events relevant to the integrity or interpretation of a simulated flight.
These may include:
- slew mode;
- simulation-rate changes;
- teleportation;
- abnormal position changes;
- in-flight fuel increases;
- aircraft changes;
- simulator reloads;
- replay;
- connection interruption;
- manipulation of telemetry;
- modification of Connector behavior;
- or other unusual events.
The existence of an integrity event does not necessarily mean that a user cheated or acted improperly.
PilotPilot may use integrity information to:
- correctly interpret a flight;
- determine eligibility for achievements or rankings;
- investigate abuse;
- validate career progression;
- investigate bugs;
- protect competitions;
- or enforce these Terms.
12. FAIR PLAY AND FLIGHT VALIDATION
Certain PilotPilot functionality may depend upon legitimate completion of simulator flights.
You may not intentionally falsify or manipulate data submitted to PilotPilot.
Prohibited behavior includes knowingly:
- forging telemetry;
- modifying transmitted flight data;
- submitting fabricated flights;
- manipulating API requests;
- bypassing flight validation;
- impersonating another Connector;
- altering PilotPilot software to falsify results;
- exploiting bugs to obtain career benefits;
- using unauthorized automation to generate flights;
- or intentionally circumventing systems designed to validate flight completion.
PilotPilot may invalidate:
- flights;
- statistics;
- career progress;
- earnings;
- achievements;
- leaderboard results;
- or other simulated benefits
that we reasonably determine were produced through manipulation, exploitation, or material technical error.
We may correct obvious errors without treating the user as having violated these Terms.
13. CAREER SIMULATION
PilotPilot may create a simulated professional aviation career.
Career content may include fictional:
- companies;
- aircraft;
- owners;
- passengers;
- clients;
- pilots;
- dispatchers;
- salaries;
- benefits;
- hiring standards;
- employment offers;
- schedules;
- maintenance events;
- training events;
- or other scenarios.
Unless explicitly identified otherwise, these entities are fictional or simulated.
Similarities to real persons or organizations may be coincidental.
Career systems may change as PilotPilot is updated.
14. SIMULATED EMPLOYMENT
Employment through PilotPilot is fictional.
Being:
- hired;
- promoted;
- disciplined;
- paid;
- fired;
- assigned an aircraft;
- given a title;
- awarded a qualification;
- or otherwise employed
within PilotPilot does not create any actual employment, contractor, agency, partnership, fiduciary, or other legal relationship between you and PilotPilot or any simulated operator.
Simulated salaries are not wages.
Simulated payroll is not compensation for services.
PilotPilot does not employ users merely because the career system describes them as employees.
15. VIRTUAL MONEY AND SIMULATED PAYROLL
PilotPilot may provide simulated:
- salary;
- payroll;
- per diem;
- bonuses;
- reimbursements;
- account balances;
- currency;
- credits;
- or other economic values.
These are collectively "Virtual Value."
Unless PilotPilot expressly provides otherwise in writing:
Virtual Value has no real-world monetary value.
Virtual Value:
- is not legal tender;
- is not cryptocurrency;
- is not stored value;
- is not a bank account;
- is not a financial product;
- does not represent money owed to you;
- cannot be redeemed for cash;
- cannot be withdrawn;
- cannot be sold;
- cannot be transferred outside permitted PilotPilot features;
- and does not give you a property interest in PilotPilot.
PilotPilot may adjust Virtual Value to correct technical errors, fraud, exploits, duplicate transactions, or corrupted career data.
16. CAREER TIME AND REAL TIME
PilotPilot may distinguish between:
- real-world time;
- simulated career time; and
- simulator flight time.
PilotPilot may permit simulated career time to advance faster than real-world time.
For example, PilotPilot may allow a user to advance to the next simulated duty period rather than waiting several real-world days.
A career-time advancement does not necessarily accelerate:
- subscriptions;
- billing periods;
- promotions tied to real time;
- real-world cooldowns;
- weekly simulated payroll;
- or any other feature expressly tied to actual time.
PilotPilot determines which clock applies to each feature.
17. USER CONTENT
PilotPilot may allow users to submit or display content, including:
- usernames;
- profile information;
- images;
- messages;
- comments;
- custom operator content;
- flight descriptions;
- feedback;
- or other material.
You retain whatever ownership rights you lawfully hold in content you submit ("User Content").
By submitting User Content, you grant PilotPilot a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt, display, distribute, and otherwise use that User Content as reasonably necessary to:
- operate the Services;
- display the content as you requested;
- moderate the Services;
- secure the Services;
- develop or improve features; and
- comply with law.
This license ends when the content is deleted from our active systems, except where continued storage is reasonably necessary for backups, legal compliance, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or other legitimate purposes.
You represent that you have the rights necessary to submit your User Content.
18. PUBLIC PROFILES AND STATISTICS
PilotPilot may offer optional public-facing features such as:
- profiles;
- flight histories;
- career statistics;
- rankings;

AI-generated content may:
- contain errors;
- misunderstand context;
- repeat information;
- generate unrealistic aviation scenarios;
- or produce inaccurate aviation information.
AI-generated content is part of the simulation experience.
It is not professional advice and must not be relied upon for real-world aviation.
PilotPilot may identify AI-generated content where appropriate, but not every automated or procedurally generated element will necessarily be labeled individually.
20. FEEDBACK
If you submit ideas, suggestions, feature requests, concepts, bug reports, or other feedback concerning PilotPilot ("Feedback"), you grant PilotPilot the unrestricted right to use, implement, modify, commercialize, or incorporate that Feedback without payment or obligation to you.

Some PilotPilot Services may require payment.
Prices and material purchase terms will be disclosed before you complete a transaction.
You authorize PilotPilot and its payment processors to charge the payment method you provide for the amounts shown at checkout.
You are responsible for applicable taxes unless PilotPilot is legally required to collect and remit them.
PilotPilot may use third-party payment processors.
PilotPilot generally does not need to receive or store your complete payment-card number where payment processing is handled by such providers.
26. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND AUTOMATIC RENEWAL
PilotPilot may offer recurring subscriptions.
WHEN YOU PURCHASE A RECURRING SUBSCRIPTION, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AT THE INTERVAL AND PRICE DISCLOSED AT CHECKOUT UNTIL YOU CANCEL, UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW.
Before purchase, PilotPilot will disclose material subscription terms, including:
- price;
- billing interval;
- whether the subscription renews automatically;
- and how to cancel.
You authorize PilotPilot or its payment processor to charge the applicable recurring subscription fee until cancellation.
You may cancel an online subscription through your PilotPilot account using an online cancellation method that is at least as accessible as the method used to subscribe.
Where required by applicable law, PilotPilot will provide renewal notices or additional disclosures.
Cancellation prevents future renewals.
Unless otherwise required by law or stated at checkout, cancellation does not retroactively refund amounts already charged and access continues through the end of the paid billing period.
27. FREE TRIALS AND PROMOTIONS
PilotPilot may offer free trials, introductory pricing, or promotional offers.
Additional terms may apply.
Where a free trial automatically converts into a paid subscription:
- the conversion terms;

will be disclosed before enrollment.
You are responsible for canceling before the stated conversion date if you do not wish to continue the paid service.
PilotPilot may limit eligibility for repeated trials or promotions.
28. PRICE CHANGES
PilotPilot may change prices.
A price change will not alter an already completed one-time purchase.
For recurring subscriptions, we will provide advance notice of material price changes where required by law.
If you do not wish to pay a new recurring price, you may cancel before the new price becomes effective.
29. LIFETIME ACCESS
PilotPilot may offer products described as:
- "Lifetime";
- "Lifetime Access";
- "Lifetime License";
- or similar language.
Unless expressly stated otherwise at purchase, "Lifetime" refers to the commercial lifetime of the applicable PilotPilot product or service, not the biological lifetime of the purchaser.
A Lifetime purchase provides the purchaser a non-transferable right to access the applicable purchased functionality while PilotPilot continues to make that product or functionality commercially available.
A Lifetime purchase:
- is not ownership of PilotPilot;
- does not guarantee that PilotPilot will operate forever;
- does not guarantee that any particular server, third-party integration, aircraft compatibility profile, API, feature, or simulator platform will exist forever;
- does not include unrelated future products unless expressly stated;
- does not include optional separately sold services unless expressly stated;
- and does not exempt the user from these Terms.

Nothing in this section limits rights you may have under mandatory consumer-protection law.
30. REFUNDS
Except where:
- required by applicable law;
- expressly stated at checkout;
- provided by a separately published PilotPilot Refund Policy; or
- voluntarily approved by PilotPilot,
fees paid for digital Services are non-refundable.
If PilotPilot publishes a Refund Policy, that policy is incorporated into these Terms.
Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory refund, withdrawal, cancellation, or consumer rights that cannot legally be waived.
31. PAYMENT DISPUTES AND CHARGEBACKS
You retain any lawful right to dispute an unauthorized or improper charge.
Before initiating a chargeback for a billing issue, we encourage you to contact PilotPilot so we can attempt to resolve the issue.
Knowingly submitting a false or fraudulent chargeback may result in account restriction or termination.
PilotPilot may provide payment processors with records reasonably necessary to respond to a payment dispute.
32. FRAUD
PilotPilot may refuse, cancel, or reverse a transaction where we reasonably believe:
- payment information was stolen;
- a transaction is fraudulent;
- account takeover occurred;
- the transaction violates law;
- or the transaction was created through abuse of a promotion or payment system.

- and reasonably relevant supporting information.
The parties will have 30 days after receipt of a complete Notice of Dispute to attempt resolution.
Either party may begin arbitration after that period if the dispute remains unresolved.
Applicable limitation periods are tolled during this 30-day period to the extent permitted by law.
45. BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.
If you reside in the United States, you and PilotPilot agree that, except as expressly stated below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to:
- these Terms;
- PilotPilot;
- your account;
- a purchase;

- the Connector;
- flight data;
- or the relationship between you and PilotPilot
will be resolved through individual binding arbitration rather than in court.
This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.
Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms.
If AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the dispute, the parties will attempt to agree upon another nationally recognized arbitration provider.
If they cannot agree, a court of competent jurisdiction may appoint an arbitrator or provider as permitted by law.
The arbitrator may award the same individual remedies that a court could award, subject to lawful limitations contained in these Terms.
The arbitrator will have authority to determine issues concerning the interpretation and application of this arbitration agreement, except that a court will determine disputes concerning the enforceability of the class-action waiver where applicable.
Arbitration may occur by:
- documents;
- telephone;
- videoconference;
- or in-person hearing
as permitted by the applicable rules.
PilotPilot will pay arbitration fees to the extent required by applicable consumer arbitration rules or law.
46. ARBITRATION EXCEPTIONS
Either party may bring an eligible individual claim in small-claims court.
Nothing in this arbitration agreement prevents either party from seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive relief from a court where such relief is necessary to prevent imminent unauthorized access, intellectual-property infringement, or security abuse pending arbitration.
Nothing in these Terms requires arbitration of a claim that applicable law makes non-arbitrable.
Where applicable law provides a non-waivable right to seek public injunctive relief in court, that claim may proceed in court after arbitrable individual claims have been resolved to the extent legally required.
47. CLASS ACTION WAIVER
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND PILOTPILOT AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
Neither party will:
- bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action;
- seek class-wide arbitration;
- participate in a representative action;
- combine claims of separate individuals without consent;
- or seek relief on behalf of persons other than the individual claimant,
except where applicable law prohibits this waiver.
An arbitrator may award relief only to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to resolve that party's individual claim.
48. JURY TRIAL WAIVER
WHERE PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND PILOTPILOT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR DISPUTES COVERED BY THESE TERMS.
49. ARBITRATION OPT-OUT
You may opt out of Sections 45 through 48 by sending a written opt-out notice within 30 days after the date you first accept these Terms.
Send the notice to:
legal@pilotpilot.net
Subject:
Arbitration Opt-Out
The notice must include:
- your full name;
- your PilotPilot account email;
- and an unambiguous statement that you wish to opt out of PilotPilot's arbitration agreement.
Opting out of arbitration will not affect your ability to use PilotPilot.
An opt-out applies only to the account holder who timely submitted it.
If you validly opt out, disputes will be governed by the court provisions below.
50. GOVERNING LAW
Except where federal law governs or mandatory local law provides otherwise, these Terms and disputes arising out of them are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
The FAA governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provisions for U.S. users.
Nothing in this section deprives a consumer of mandatory protections that cannot lawfully be waived in the consumer's jurisdiction.
51. COURT VENUE
For disputes not required to be arbitrated, and except where applicable law requires another forum, you and PilotPilot consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state courts located in Bay County, Florida, or the applicable United States federal court having jurisdiction over Bay County, Florida.
This section does not prevent an eligible party from using small-claims court where permitted.
52. USERS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
If you reside outside the United States, mandatory consumer laws in your country or region may provide rights that these Terms cannot waive.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to eliminate those mandatory rights.
The arbitration and venue provisions apply only to the extent enforceable where you reside.
PilotPilot may restrict availability in certain jurisdictions.
53. EXPORT CONTROLS AND SANCTIONS
You may not use, export, re-export, transfer, or provide PilotPilot in violation of applicable U.S. export-control or sanctions laws.
You represent that your use of the Services is not prohibited by applicable sanctions restrictions.
54. FORCE MAJEURE
PilotPilot is not responsible for delay or failure caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
Examples include:
- natural disasters;
- war;
- terrorism;
- civil unrest;
- governmental action;
- internet outages;
- widespread cloud failures;
- labor disruptions;
- power failures;
- cyberattacks;
- failures of third-party platforms;
- changes to Microsoft Flight Simulator;
- changes to SimConnect or simulator APIs;
- or similar events.
This section does not limit rights that applicable law does not permit us to limit.
55. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
PilotPilot may update these Terms.
If changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice, such as through:
- the website;
- the application;
- account notification;
- or email.
The updated Terms will state a new effective date.
Where required by law, we will obtain renewed consent.
Otherwise, continued use of PilotPilot after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Changes will not retroactively alter a dispute that arose before the updated Terms became effective where doing so would be unlawful.
56. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
You agree that PilotPilot may provide contractual notices electronically.
Electronic notices may be provided through:
- email;
- account notifications;
- the PilotPilot website;
- or the PilotPilot application.
You are responsible for maintaining a valid email address associated with your account.
Marketing communications are governed separately by applicable law and any available communication preferences.
57. ASSIGNMENT
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without PilotPilot's written consent.
PilotPilot may assign these Terms in connection with:
- a merger;
- acquisition;
- corporate restructuring;
- sale of assets;
- financing;
- or transfer of the PilotPilot business,
subject to applicable law.
58. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES
Except where expressly stated, these Terms do not create enforceable rights for third parties.
59. NO WAIVER
Failure by PilotPilot to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce it later.
A waiver must be clear and, where appropriate, in writing.
60. SEVERABILITY
If a provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
If a provision cannot lawfully be narrowed or modified, it will be severed only to the minimum extent necessary.
Special severability rules in the arbitration section will be applied consistently with applicable law.
61. HEADINGS
Section headings are provided for convenience and do not limit the meaning of these Terms.
