6. CARE PACKAGE (DAMAGE WAIVER & SPARE PARTS PROGRAM)
If the Customer purchases a Care Package option on a Quote, they are admitted into the Damage Waiver and Spare Parts Program. The Care Package is strictly a commercial maintenance service contract and does not constitute a policy of insurance under US state or federal regulations.-
- Damage Waiver Program: Flyability partially covers the cost of repairing or replacing Drones, payloads, and remote control tablets (“Covered Products”) in the event of an operational flight accident, including accidents resulting in total loss or unrecoverable flight placement.
- Care Package Exclusions: The program completely excludes: (a) theft or loss of the equipment while on the ground; (b) willful or intentional damage inflicted by the Customer; (c) third-party civil liability or property damage; (d) inbound shipping costs to Flyability; (e) cosmetic damage (scratches, small cracks) that does not alter flight safety; (f) flight operations performed by an uncertified user; and (g) flights violating local FAA airspace regulations or common sense.
- Claim Reporting Procedure: Customer must open a claim within five (5) business days of the accident by emailing support@flyability.com. The report must contain: (a) Drone Serial Number; (b) Date, time, location, and pilot name; (c) Detailed description with photos of the asset and environment; and (d) A complete copy of the flight data logs and images extracted from the drone and ground station.
- Execution: Upon validation of the report, Flyability will issue a preliminary cost estimate. Once confirmed, Flyability will ship replacement parts or a replacement unit within 3 working days (outbound shipping at Flyability’s cost). Customer must return the damaged components to Flyability at its own expense. If a drone is lost during flight, Customer must execute all reasonable recovery efforts. Cash payouts are explicitly excluded.
- Program Options and Limits:
- Care Package - 1 Year: Valid for 12 months from Activation or 18 months from delivery, whichever comes first. The Damage Waiver covers 100% of repair costs up to CHF/USD 5,000, and up to 80% of costs exceeding CHF/USD 5,000 up to a maximum cap of CHF/USD 100,000 per drone per year. The Spare Parts Program covers consumable needs (propellers, batteries, cages) up to a separate cap of CHF/USD 10,000 per drone per year.
- Care Package - Multi-Year: Aggregates the CHF/USD 100,000 limit per year (e.g., 2 years equals an aggregate limit of CHF/USD 200,000, with a max of 100,000 in any single year). Unused coverage portions at the end of a subscription year expire automatically and do not carry over. If the CHF/USD 100,000 annual limit is exhausted early, the next subscription period commences immediately. Unused spare parts allowances (CHF/USD 10,000/year) do not roll over.
-
- Reactivation: If a Care Package subscription expires, reactivation is subject to a mandatory, technical inspection of the Drone at the Customer's cost. Flyability may require any necessary repairs to be executed at the Customer's expense as a condition precedent to renewing coverage.
7. AUTOMATED FEATURES
Drones may utilize automated navigation, stabilization, flight-assist, or autonomous mapping capabilities (“Automation Features”). Use of these features is subject to the following strict conditions, and Customer must ensure all pilots review and accept these terms:
-
- Pilot in Command Responsibility: The deployment of Automation Features remains under the full legal and operational responsibility of the designated pilot in command (“Pilot”) and the Customer. The Pilot must assess the suitability of the flight path and local environmental conditions prior to activating automation.
- No Warranties and No Liability: Flyability provides Automation Features strictly “AS-IS” and “AS-AVAILABLE,” without any express or implied warranties. Flyability, its Affiliates, and agents disclaim any and all liability for crashes, property damage, or bodily injuries resulting from or related to the activation of automated flight modes.
- Continuous Manual Oversight Required: Automation Features do not replace the necessity of active pilot control. The Pilot must: (a) maintain full manual control override capability at all times; (b) keep hands on the remote control interface and maintain continuous situational awareness; and (c) be prepared to instantly intervene and regain manual control if the drone displays unexpected behavior.
- Environmental and Payload Constraints: Automated sensors and obstacle avoidance algorithms are not calibrated to account for custom payloads, third-party attachments, or extensions reaching beyond the drone's protective cage. Such payload extensions may cause immediate collision or cage entrapment, for which the Customer assumes all risk.
PART III: ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR SUPPORT
1. SCOPE AND SUPPORT AGREEMENTS
-

-
- Ownership Retained: As between the Parties, all images, thermographic data, video files, 3D point clouds, and inspection data uploaded by the Customer or its Users to the cloud platform (“Customer Content”) remain the sole and exclusive property of the Customer. Nothing in this contract operates as a transfer of ownership of Customer Content to Flyability.
- Operational License Granted: Customer grants to Flyability a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable license to host, process, and use the Customer Content for the sole purpose of delivering the cloud processing services, generating inspection reports, and executing technical support.
- Machine Learning and Data Mining Consent: Customer explicitly grants to Flyability the right to utilize anonymized Customer Content (where account names, specific coordinates, and contact identifiers have been completely stripped using reasonable technological efforts) for data mining, analytics, product benchmarking, and to train machine learning or artificial intelligence flight models. Flyability is strictly prohibited from selling, renting, or commercializing Customer Content to third parties.
- Content Warranty: Customer warrants that it possesses all necessary regulatory permits, legal grounds, and corporate consents to process and upload the Customer Content, and that the data does not infringe any third-party intellectual property or privacy rights. Flyability may delete any data that violates this warranty.
- Data Deletion Post-Termination: During the active subscription term and for a period of 90 days following its expiration or termination, Customer shall have the right to access and download or permanently purge its Customer Content. Upon the expiration of this 90-day window, Flyability is authorized to permanently delete all copies of the Customer Content remaining under its control. Flyability reserves the right to automatically delete all data if a cloud account has been completely inactive for 12 months or more.

- Data Processing Agreement: If cloud deployment involves the processing of personal data or European/US protected identifiers, the Parties shall execute a standard Data Processing Agreement (DPA).
- Cloud Subscription Term: Cloud subscriptions are entered into from the Effective Date for the initial term specified in the plan. Subscriptions shall automatically renew for consecutive terms of the identical duration unless cancelled by either Party by providing a mandatory 30-day prior written notice before the expiration of the then-current period. Either Party may terminate for cause immediately in the event of an uncured material breach following a 30-day written notice to cure.

PART V: ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR CLOUD SERVICES
