Terms governing aircraft owners on the Breezy platform
CLICK-WRAP NOTICE:
By clicking "I AGREE," creating an account, or listing an aircraft on the Breezy Aviation platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to be legally bound by this Agreement.
1. ROLE OF BREEZY – NON-OPERATOR PLATFORM
Breezy Aviation LLC ("Breezy") operates solely as a non-operating technology marketplace. Breezy does not own, lease, charter, manage, dispatch, crew, maintain, inspect, or operate any aircraft and does not provide air transportation services.
Breezy agrees to permit aircraft owners to use its platform to list aircraft for lease directly by pilots who have access to the Breezy platform in exchange for Owner's covenants, representations and agreements set forth herein. An aircraft so listed and/or leased is described herein as "Aircraft", its lessor is described herein as "Owner" and its lessee is described as "Pilot".
2. FAA OPERATIONAL CONTROL DISCLAIMER (14 CFR § 1.1)
Breezy does not exercise operational control as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. Breezy does not initiate, conduct, or terminate flights; dispatch aircraft; select or assign crew; direct maintenance; or control fueling, loading, or weight and balance. Operational control rests exclusively with the Pilot in Command pursuant to 14 CFR § 91.3.
3. FAA PART 91 OPERATIONS ONLY / NO HOLDING OUT
All flights conducted through the Platform are intended to be private operations under 14 CFR Part 91 only. Breezy does not hold out air transportation to the public, set routes or schedules, or offer point-to-point carriage. No Part 135 operations, charter operations, or common carriage operations are permitted through the Platform. Owner is solely responsible for ensuring that any aircraft listed or reserved through the Platform is operated in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, insurance requirements, and FAA limitations relating to compensation, hire, operational authority, and flight operations.
4. COMPENSATION & TRANSPORTATION SAFEGUARD
Breezy receives compensation solely for access to the technology platform, marketplace tools, and payment processing and facilitation services (the "Platform"). Breezy does not compensate Pilots or Owners for aircraft operations or flight activity and does not receive compensation based on flight hours, mileage, passenger carriage, transportation of persons or property, or the operation of any flight.
5. AIRWORTHINESS & MAINTENANCE – SOLE OWNER RESPONSIBILITY (14 CFR Parts 43 & 91)
Owner is solely and exclusively responsible for airworthiness, maintenance, inspections, logbooks, any regulatory compliance under 14 CFR Parts 43 and 91, and other relevant rules and regulations mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration. Breezy has no duty, affirmative or implied, to inspect, verify, monitor, or ensure airworthiness, maintenance status, mechanical condition, or regulatory compliance of any aircraft listed or leased through the Breezy platform.
6. PILOT SELECTION & AUTHORIZATION
Owner retains sole and absolute discretion to approve or deny pilots. Any pilot information displayed on the Platform is self-reported by the pilot and not verified, endorsed, or approved by Breezy. Pilots are not employees, agents, or contractors of Breezy, but are instead individuals utilizing the Platform. Breezy makes no representations or warranties of any kind as to the qualification, training, skill, aptitude, medical condition, currency, regulatory compliance or ability of any pilot to operate any particular aircraft on any particular flight.
7. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Owner is solely responsible for determining and maintaining any insurance coverage Owner deems appropriate or that may be required by applicable law, airport requirements, lender obligations, contractual obligations, or Owner's insurer. Any insurance requirements, pilot minimums, Open Pilot Warranty requirements, approved pilot requirements, checkout requirements, or other underwriting conditions applicable to the Aircraft shall be determined solely by the Owner and/or the Owner's insurer. Breezy does not determine, verify, guarantee, endorse, or warrant the adequacy, availability, scope, validity, or applicability of any insurance coverage or underwriting requirement. Owner acknowledges and agrees that Breezy is not an insurer, insurance broker, underwriter, aircraft operator, dispatcher, charter provider, or aviation manager, and Breezy does not provide insurance coverage for Aircraft operations conducted through the Platform. To the extent permitted by applicable law and the applicable insurance policy, Owner agrees to look first to Owner's own insurance coverage for damage to or loss of the Aircraft arising during a Lease Period, including applicable hull coverage, subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions, deductibles, and limits of such policy. Nothing in this Agreement alters any rights or obligations that may exist between Owner and Pilot under any applicable dry lease agreement or applicable law.
8. NO AIRCRAFT LEASE BY BREEZY
Breezy does not lease aircraft, wet or dry, and never takes possession, custody, or control of any aircraft.
9. RELEASE OF BREEZY
OWNER AGREES, FOR HIMSELF OR HERSELF AND FOR HIS OR HER HEIRS, EXECUTORS, ADMINISTRATORS, LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, INSURERS, SUBROGEES, AND ANY PERSON OR ENTITY CLAIMING BY, THROUGH, OR UNDER OWNER, TO FULLY, FINALLY, UNCONDITIONALLY, AND FOREVER RELEASE, DISCHARGE, AND ACQUIT BREEZY FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHETHER IN BEING OR INCHOATE, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, ABSOLUTE, FIXED, CONTINGENT, PRIMARY, SECONDARY, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, IN CONTRACT, IN TORT, OR UNDER ANY STATE OR FEDERAL STATUTE, LAW, OR JURISDICTION, ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OWNER'S AIRCRAFT; ANY FLIGHT OF OWNER'S AIRCRAFT; ANY ACTIVITIES BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER ANY FLIGHT (INCLUDING BOARDING, TAXI, TAKEOFF, CRUISE, LANDING, AND DISEMBARKATION); AND ANY USE, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION, FUELING, HANGARING, STORAGE, REPAIR, SERVICING, OR HANDLING OF THE AIRCRAFT. THIS RELEASE EXPRESSLY INCLUDES ANY ALLEGED ACT, ERROR, OR OMISSION CONSTITUTING ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, NEGLIGENCE PER SE, STRICT LIABILITY, PREMISES LIABILITY, OR VICARIOUS LIABILITY OF BREEZY. THIS RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS BASED ON GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT TO THE EXTENT SUCH CLAIMS CANNOT BE RELEASED UNDER TEXAS LAW.
Scope of Claims Released. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Claims released herein expressly include, but are not limited to, any injury, death, damage, loss, or harm allegedly sustained by Owner in, on, near, or in proximity to the Aircraft; any injury, death, damage, loss, or harm allegedly arising from or relating to Owner's lease of the Aircraft, operation of the Aircraft or Owner's participation in any flight, including all phases of boarding, taxi, takeoff, flight operations, landing, and disembarkation; any alleged negligent act or omission relating to the ownership, maintenance, inspection, fueling, hangaring, repair, servicing, or operation of the Aircraft; and any derivative, dependent, or third-party claims asserted by any person or entity claiming by, through, or under the Owner. Owner expressly releases and waives all claims of any kind related to destruction, loss of Aircraft or damage to Aircraft, including, but not limited to replacement, repair, diminution of value, loss of use.
Covenant Not to Sue. Owner further agrees and covenants that he or she shall not initiate, file, maintain, assert, or prosecute, or permit to be initiated, filed, maintained, asserted, or prosecuted, any suit, action, claim, arbitration, or other proceeding against Breezy with respect to any Claim released under this Agreement, and Owner expressly waives and relinquishes any right to do so. In the event Owner breaches this covenant, Owner agrees to be liable for and to reimburse Breezy for all damages, losses, costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred as a result of defending against any such prohibited action and agrees that any such action shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
10. INDEMNIFICATION
Owner agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Breezy, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and third parties from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, asserted by the Owner, Pilot, any person or entity claiming by, through, or under the Owner or Pilot, any heir or wrongful death beneficiary of the Owner or Pilot, and/or any third party, relating to, resulting from, or otherwise arising out of or related to the Owner's Aircraft, the lease, operation, use of, or presence near the Aircraft, including, but not limited to, claims involving personal injury, economic injury, emotional harm, wrongful death, medical expenses, subrogation, damage to real or personal property, damage to the Aircraft, loss of use, diminution in value of the Aircraft, fines, fees, taxes, or civil penalties of any kind or nature, except to the extent finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Breezy's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
11. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
The information provided by the Pilot including, but not limited to, any pilot certification(s), rating(s), endorsement(s), clearances, and flight hour logs (collectively "Pilot Qualification") is provided to Breezy and/or Owner for informational purposes only. All data related to Pilot Qualifications are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Breezy disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to:
- Whether Pilot Qualifications are error-free or up-to-date;
- We do not warrant that the certificates or licenses presented are genuine; and
- We do not warrant that any Pilot listed is fit for a specific flight, mission, or Aircraft type.
The responsibility to verify a Pilot's legal authority to command an Aircraft rest solely with Owner and not Breezy. It is advised that the Owner perform a primary source verification via FAA Airmen Certification Database (or local equivalent), physically inspect original logbooks, and medical certificates, and ensure the pilot meets the specific FAA requirements for the intended operation, and require a checkout of a scope determined solely by Owner with an instructor selected solely by Owner.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, NO PARTY SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE, AND ALL PARTIES HEREBY DISCLAIM, ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE QUALIFICATIONS OF THE PILOT.
12. GOVERNING LAW
All disputes with Breezy shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Texas under applicable AAA rules. Texas law governs these Terms. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in any class action, collective action, or representative proceeding. The parties agree that arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy between them arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Platform, or any related activity (collectively, "Disputes"). Before initiating arbitration, the aggrieved party shall provide written notice of the Dispute to the other party and a reasonable opportunity for informal resolution. If the Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days thereafter, either party may refer the Dispute to the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") for arbitration. The arbitrator shall be chosen, and the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the applicable AAA rules then in effect. Arbitration fees shall be allocated in accordance with applicable law and AAA rules. Arbitration shall take place in Harris County, Texas, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The arbitrator shall apply the terms of this Agreement as written except to the extent prohibited by applicable law. The arbitrator may award remedies available under applicable law and these Terms; provided, however, that punitive, exemplary, indirect, incidental, special, and consequential damages shall be waived to the maximum extent permitted by law. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. The parties hereby agree that the state and federal courts located in Harris County, Texas shall have jurisdiction to compel arbitration and to confirm, enforce, or enter judgment upon any arbitration award. These arbitration provisions shall survive termination of these Terms or any user account.
13. SURVIVAL
Sections relating to FAA compliance, assumption of risk, indemnification, limitation of liability, and governing law shall survive termination. If any court of competent jurisdiction declares any provision of this Agreement unenforceable, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect. The provisions of this Agreement are severable; if any provision herein shall be held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, such holding shall not affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of any other provision. Any such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision shall be deemed stricken heretofore as if it had never been contained herein, but all other provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
