Terms of Service

Inclement Weather, Site Conditions & Safety:

Monitoring the weather forecast leading up to your filming date is important. We can usually make a good determination of a go/no-go for an event based on weather forecasts up to 3 days in advance. We strive to perform our drone filming under weather conditions that will give the most favorable results. However, as you already know, mother nature is not 100% predictable.

We are required by our FAA regulations to only conduct flights in VFR (visual flight rules) conditions, which means in good visibility. Inclement weather may cause the delay or a rescheduling of the flight. If we are en route or on location and weather conditions, site conditions, and/or safety issues become unfavorable and the event is canceled, fees incurred up to that point will be charged.

We reserve the right to make the final decision, without liability, based on safety. Our decision is final.

If conditions should determine that a flight should be delayed or canceled upon arrival, we will reschedule for a later date and the client will be responsible for the following:
– If the client chooses to have us remain on site until conditions permit (on stand-by) and complete the flight, a fee of $50/hour will be added to the total job cost.
– In the event the flight is canceled, the client will be charged for all travel expenses incurred up to that point at cost.

Security & Permits for Drone Aerial Video and Drone Aerial Photography flight operations:

Proper permissions (and state /local filming permits if applicable) and/or security clearance for taking drone aerial photographs and/or aerial videography footage of subjects shall be the sole responsibility of the client and shall be coordinated with us. We require that permission be obtained from property owners for each location we intend to launch and recover the drone from.

Each location must also be evaluated for airspace classification and/or any temporary flight restrictions (TFR’s) present. If within 5 miles of an active airport (FAA register), written approval (letter of agreement) must be granted by either the ATC or airport management prior to flight. We will never fly in a careless or reckless manner.

Upon arrival to site, if exclusion zone security issues should be present, the time used by our drone pilot to obtain proper location security is billable at the rate of $50/hour. All flights must be conducted in a manner that assures the safety of persons/property on the ground and full size air traffic above.
