Terms of Use

Effective date: 08/11/2026

Please read these Terms of Use ("Terms") carefully before using the FAA Drone Rules mobile application ("the App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. About the App

FAA Drone Rules is an educational reference application that presents U.S. drone regulations in plain language, alongside the official text of those regulations. The App is published by [DEVELOPER / COMPANY LEGAL NAME] ("we," "us," or "our").

2. Not affiliated with the FAA or any government agency

FAA Drone Rules is an independent application. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, authorized by, or connected to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the U.S. Department of Transportation, or any government agency. References to the FAA and citations of federal regulations are for identification and educational purposes only. The official and authoritative sources of the law are the government's own publications, including ecfr.gov and faa.gov.

3. Educational purpose only — not legal or professional advice

The App provides general information for educational purposes. It does not provide legal advice, flight-planning advice, or professional guidance, and it is not a substitute for the official regulations or for advice from a qualified professional. Nothing in the App creates any professional, advisory, or fiduciary relationship between you and us.

Regulations change, and the plain-language explanations in the App are simplifications that may omit detail relevant to your situation. Always verify current requirements against the official sources before you fly.

4. Your responsibilities

You are solely responsible for:

• complying with all applicable laws, regulations, and airspace requirements that apply to your drone operations;
• verifying the current, official version of any rule before relying on it;
• obtaining any certification, registration, authorization, or waiver required for your operations;
• the safety and legality of every flight you conduct.

You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

5. License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal and internal use. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works from the App or its content, except as permitted by applicable law or the App Store's terms.

6. Intellectual property

The text of federal statutes and regulations reproduced in the App (for example, 14 CFR Parts 48, 89, and 107, and 49 U.S.C. § 44809) consists of U.S. government works and is in the public domain.

All other content — including the original plain-language explanations, summaries, structure, compilation, design, graphics, and software — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright and other laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights in that content except the limited license in Section 5.

7. No warranty

THE APP AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, CURRENCY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE CONTENT IS COMPLETE, ACCURATE, CURRENT, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE APP — INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY FINES, PENALTIES, ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR LEGAL CONSEQUENCES ARISING FROM YOUR DRONE OPERATIONS OR YOUR RELIANCE ON INFORMATION IN THE APP. YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE APP IS TO STOP USING IT.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

9. Third-party links and services

The App may link to third-party websites and services (such as official government tools). We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, and links do not imply endorsement. Your use of any third-party service is subject to that party's terms.

10. Apple App Store

If you download the App from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and us, not Apple, and that Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them.

11. Changes to the App and Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App or any feature at any time. We may also update these Terms; when we do, we will revise the "Effective date" above. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [STATE], United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except where mandatory local consumer-protection law applies to you. (See the lawyer note accompanying these documents — governing law should be confirmed with counsel.)
