Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using Flytimizer (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. What the Service is — and isn't

Flytimizer estimates a flight altitude and route for a drone based on forecast wind data and third-party map data (buildings and points of interest such as schools, kindergartens, hospitals and playgrounds). It is provided as a planning convenience only.

The Service is not:

• A substitute for checking official airspace restrictions, NOTAMs, temporary flight restrictions, or any authorization required by your local civil aviation authority;
• A guarantee that a suggested altitude or route is safe, legal, or compliant with any regulation in your jurisdiction;
• A complete hazard survey — the building and hazard data comes from OpenStreetMap contributors and may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate, and the wind forecast is an estimate that can differ from actual conditions at the time of flight;
• Professional, legal, or aviation-safety advice of any kind.

You are solely responsible for verifying, independently of this Service, that any flight you plan or conduct is safe and lawful.

3. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any data (wind, building, or hazard information) is complete or correct.

4. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operators of Flytimizer shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including but not limited to property damage, personal injury, loss of data, or loss of a drone or its payload — arising out of or in any way connected with your use of, or inability to use, the Service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

You use the Service, and any altitude or route it suggests, entirely at your own risk.

5. Prohibited automated use

You may not access or use the Service by any automated means — including bots, scrapers, crawlers, scripts, or any other software that is not a human operating a standard web browser — without our prior written permission. This includes, without limitation:

• Automating calls to the Service's pages or endpoints instead of interacting with them manually;
• Using the Service as an unauthorized proxy to make bulk or automated requests to the third-party services it relies on (such as Open-Meteo, OpenStreetMap's Overpass API, or the Nominatim geocoder) beyond what a normal, individual interactive session would generate;
• Circumventing, disabling, or interfering with any rate limiting, security feature, or access restriction of the Service;
• Extracting data from the Service at scale for republication, redistribution, or building a competing or derivative service, without separately complying with the terms of the underlying data providers.

We reserve the right to block, rate-limit, or terminate access for any use we reasonably believe is automated or abusive.

6. Third-party data and services

The Service displays and relies on data and services provided by third parties, including wind forecasts from Open-Meteo, map, building and points-of-interest data from OpenStreetMap contributors (via the Overpass API), and place search via Nominatim. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the accuracy, availability, or licensing terms of that third-party data. Your use of the Service is also subject to the applicable terms and usage policies of those providers.

7. Your responsibilities

• Comply with all aviation laws and regulations applicable to you and your flight, including obtaining any required authorization, remote pilot certification, or airspace clearance;
• Independently verify no-fly zones, temporary restrictions, and any obstacle or hazard information before flying;
• Maintain visual line of sight and situational awareness as required by law, regardless of what the Service suggests;
• Not rely on the Service as your sole means of flight planning or risk assessment.

8. Changes to the Service or these terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms of Use from time to time; continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

9. Governing law

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Israel.
