Terms & Conditions including Indemnity & Release:
Introduction
Any person that that agrees to be a subscriber ("Subscriber") by completing the application and paying the fees is subject to these Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”) and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Agreement.
Grant of License
A Subscriber is granted a non-exclusive license to use the website and the Company information provided. The license is personal to the Subscriber only and the Subscriber may not otherwise license or permit any other person or entity to use the website other than as specifically permitted by Reader Plates, LLC (the “Company”).
The Company Charts
The Company obtains the information provided in its products from the FAA/NACO and other sources. The Company cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of the information obtained from the FAA/NACO or other sources.
Use of Charts
The Company information is designed to supplement official charts for navigation. The Company information becomes obsolete upon the publication of the next edition of charts from FAA/NACO. The Subscriber has the responsibility to ensure that the charts and information that the Subscriber is using are current. Always verify the effective dates on each chart and review any appropriate NOTAMs.
Since the information provided by the Company or FAA/NACO is subject to change at any time, the Subscriber should not rely upon its accuracy. The Subscriber should comply with FAR 91.103 and follow all of the suggested preflight actions to ensure a safe flight. All critical information must be verified by the Subscriber with official sources and reference material—including the Airport/Facility Directory, Aeronautical Information Manual, Sectional and Terminal Area Charts, NOTAMs and FSS briefings.
The Subscriber should comply with regulations and guidelines issued by the FAA with regards to the use of the portable electronic devices. Please refer to FAA Advisory Circular 91-78 which provides "information for removal of paper aeronautical charts and other documentation from the cockpit through the use of either portable or installed cockpit displays (electronic flight bags (EFB)),” and any other applicable regulations.

THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Limitation of Liability
The Subscriber agrees that the Company’s liability arising out of contract, negligence, strict liability in tort or warranty shall not exceed the fees paid by the Subscriber to the Company. The limited warranty and limitation of liability set forth herein reflect the allocation of risk between the Subscriber and the Company. The Company’s pricing reflects this allocation of risk and liability limitation, and but for such limitations, the Company would charge substantially higher prices.

Subscriber acknowledges that each member, officer, director, employee or agent of Company is an express third-part beneficiary of this Agreement and are intended to enjoy the same benefits of this Agreement as if they parties to the Agreement.
Subscriber agrees that, in the event Subscriber should sustain any type personal or economic injury, or die, while using or while in possession of Company’s information, products or services, Subscriber, Subscriber’s heirs, successors, assigns, and/or Subscriber’s spouse, parent(s), and children will look solely to health insurance, disability insurance, life insurance or any other type of insurance maintained by Subscriber solely at Subscriber’s expense. Further, Subscriber waives any right to subrogation which might otherwise arise against Company and/or against any member, officer, director, employee or agent of Company as a result of payment of any such insurance claim.
The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that no representations have been made by either party other than those contained on the face of this Agreement, and that this Agreement contains all terms to the Agreement between the parties.
