Terms of Service

1. About Maverick and These Terms

Maverick is a software product operated by Genoa Labs, LLC ("Genoa Labs," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a legal agreement between Genoa Labs and the flight school or organization that creates an account ("you," "your," or "the school"). By creating an account, using the service, or authorizing an instructor or administrator to use it on your behalf, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

2. What Maverick Provides

Maverick is record-keeping and compliance-tracking software for Part 61 flight schools. It helps you store student training records, log flights, track progress against regulatory minimums, manage endorsements, and organize checklists and prospective-student information. It is a tool for organizing and referencing your own records.

Maverick is not a scheduling system, an aircraft-maintenance system, a billing or invoicing system for your students, or a digital logbook for submission to the FAA. Features may be added, changed, or removed over time as described below.

3. Aviation Responsibility (Please Read Carefully)

This is the most important section of these Terms. Maverick is a record-keeping and reference tool only. It is not a substitute for the current Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), Advisory Circulars, the Airman Certification Standards or Practical Test Standards, or the professional judgment of a certificated flight instructor, examiner, or other qualified authority.

• You retain sole responsibility for compliance. The customer school and its instructors retain sole and complete responsibility for regulatory compliance, endorsement decisions, student eligibility, currency determinations, and the safe and lawful conduct of the training program. Every decision about whether a student meets a requirement, is ready for a practical test, or may be endorsed for any privilege is the professional judgment of a certificated flight instructor, not the output of the software.
• Regulations change; you must verify. Hour minimums, citations, requirement descriptions, and other regulatory content in Maverick reflect our understanding at a point in time and may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. You must independently verify every requirement against the current official sources, including the eCFR at ecfr.gov and current FAA guidance, before relying on it.
• Computed values are estimates. Progress indicators, readiness estimates, coverage summaries, and any figure Maverick derives from your data are provided for your convenience only. They may contain errors and must never be treated as a compliance determination or as a substitute for reviewing the underlying records against the regulations.

4. Accounts, Instructors, and Acceptable Use

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you and your instructors enter, for keeping login credentials confidential, and for all activity that happens under your account. There is no student-facing login; your school enters and controls all student data, and you are responsible for the conduct of every instructor and administrator you invite.

You agree to use Maverick only for lawful purposes and only for your own flight school's records. You agree not to:

• access, or attempt to access, another school's data or any account that is not yours;
• probe, scan, overload, or disrupt the service or the systems it runs on;
• upload malicious code, or reverse-engineer, decompile, or copy the software;
• use the service to violate any law or regulation, or to infringe anyone's rights.

We may suspend or terminate access that we reasonably believe violates these Terms, creates a security or legal risk, or is being used to harm others.

5. Subscriptions, Billing, and Cancellation

• Monthly billing through Stripe. Access to Maverick requires an active subscription, billed monthly in advance through our payment processor, Stripe. Pricing is a base monthly fee plus a per-airplane fee, as shown at signup and in your account settings.
• Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews automatically each month until you cancel. We may change pricing on a going-forward basis with advance notice; a price change never applies to a period you have already paid for.
• Cancel anytime, effective at period end. You may cancel at any time from the Stripe Billing Portal in your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access until then.
• No refunds for partial months. Fees are non-refundable. We do not provide refunds or credits for partial billing periods, for time during which you did not use the service, or for a subscription canceled partway through a month.
• Failed payments. If a payment fails, we may pause access until payment succeeds. Your data is retained during a lapse, subject to the retention terms in Section 6.

6. Your Data and Ownership

• You own your data. As between you and Genoa Labs, your school owns the data it enters into Maverick, including student records, flight logs, endorsements, and checklists. We claim no ownership of your content. You grant us the limited right to store, process, and display that data solely to operate and provide the service to you.
• Export is available. You can export your data at any time. Maverick provides CSV and PDF exports and a full-account backup file from within the application. We encourage you to keep your own copies.
• Deletion on account closure. When you close your account, we retain your data for a reasonable window so you can reactivate or export it, and then delete it from our active systems. Residual copies may persist in routine encrypted backups for a limited additional period before they are overwritten. See the Privacy Policy for more detail.

7. Service Availability and Changes

We work to keep Maverick available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may modify, add, or remove features over time, and we may perform maintenance that temporarily interrupts access. We are not liable for any consequence of downtime, maintenance, or a feature change.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

Maverick is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Genoa Labs disclaims all warranties, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the service, or any content, citation, or computed value in it, is accurate, complete, current, or suitable for any regulatory or operational decision. You use the service at your own risk and remain responsible for verifying everything against current official sources.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Genoa Labs and its owners, employees, contractors, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, certificates, ratings, or training privileges, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In all cases, our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the service or these Terms is limited to the amount of fees you actually paid to Genoa Labs for the service during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Genoa Labs and its owners, employees, contractors, and suppliers from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the service; (b) the data you or your instructors enter; (c) any endorsement, eligibility, currency, or compliance decision made by you or your instructors; (d) your violation of any law or regulation, including the FARs; or (e) your violation of these Terms.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make a material change, we will post the updated Terms with a new effective date and, where appropriate, notify account administrators by email. Your continued use of Maverick after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the service and cancel your subscription.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in Wisconsin have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service, and you consent to their jurisdiction and venue, to the extent permitted by law.

13. General

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or a successor. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Genoa Labs regarding the service.
