Welcome to PilotsDiner. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and vRotate Digital LLC d/b/a PilotsDiner, a Florida limited liability company ("we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of pilotsdiner.com and all related websites, mobile applications, services, features, and content, including the PilotsDiner iOS application (collectively, the "Service").
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service. Please also review our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect and handle your personal information.
You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service. If you are between the ages of 13 and 17, you may only use the Service with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, and that parent or guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf. By allowing a minor to use the Service, the parent or guardian accepts responsibility for the minor's activity.
By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet the applicable age requirements and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
To access certain features — including posting reviews, participating in forums, uploading photos, and logging visits — you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update that information as needed.
Your PilotsDiner account may be used across the PilotsDiner website and mobile applications. Content, profile information, subscription status, and account actions may sync between platforms.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at cody@vrotatedigital.com if you become aware of any unauthorized access or use of your account.
Each individual may maintain only one account. We reserve the right to merge or remove duplicate accounts.
The Service may allow you to follow other users, remove followers, or block accounts. Blocking removes existing follow relationships, prevents new follow relationships while the block remains, and hides the blocked user's community content from your signed-in experience where technically supported. Because some Service content is public, blocking does not guarantee that either person can never encounter the other's public content while signed out, through shared links, in retained moderation records, or outside PilotsDiner. You may manage blocked accounts through Account Management.
The Service allows you to submit content including, but not limited to, restaurant reviews, ratings, forum posts, comments, photographs, menu photos, trip reports, restaurant submissions, restaurant edits, and aircraft information (collectively, "User Content").
You retain ownership of all User Content you submit. However, by submitting User Content to the Service, you grant vRotate Digital LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, and display your User Content in connection with operating, promoting, and improving the Service, including across the PilotsDiner website and mobile applications. This license continues while the content remains available through the Service and, after deletion, only to the limited extent necessary for temporary backups, legal obligations, safety or moderation records, or de-identified shared factual listing data.
Where self-service deletion tools are available, you may delete User Content through your account. You may also contact us to request removal of User Content. Account deletion removes associated reviews, forum posts and replies, trip reports, uploaded photos, restaurant edits, and other User Content from the active Service. Shared factual restaurant or airport listing data may remain in de-identified form with account attribution removed. Information may also be retained where required for legal, safety, moderation, backup, or integrity purposes, and cached or protected backup copies may persist temporarily.
By submitting User Content, you represent and warrant that:
We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to review, edit, refuse, or remove any User Content at our sole discretion for any reason, including content that we believe violates these Terms, is objectionable, or may expose us or our users to harm or liability. Moderation decisions are final. When a forum post or reply is removed, we may email the creator with the stated reason and retain the full removed text and related moderation record for safety, appeals, abuse prevention, legal compliance, and service integrity.
You are solely responsible for the User Content you submit and for any consequences of submitting or publishing it. We do not endorse, verify, or assume responsibility for User Content posted by users. To the maximum extent permitted by law, vRotate Digital LLC is not responsible or liable for User Content, including any alleged infringement, inaccuracy, or unlawful material uploaded by users. We may remove or restrict access to User Content when we receive a valid complaint, believe removal is appropriate, or are required to do so by law.
You agree not to:
The Service and its original content (excluding User Content), features, functionality, design, and branding — including but not limited to the PilotsDiner name, logo, visual design, and software — are and remain the property of vRotate Digital LLC and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our intellectual property without our prior written consent.
The Service incorporates data from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), OurAirports, and other public sources. This data is used under applicable government data licenses and is provided as-is. Our compilation, presentation, and organization of this data is our intellectual property.
The Service may display restaurant names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, hours, menu information, photographs, and other business information for identification, discovery, and community discussion. Some photographs may be user-submitted, owned by us, licensed to us, made available by restaurants, or sourced from restaurant-controlled websites or materials where we believe use is authorized or otherwise permitted. Restaurant names, trademarks, logos, photos, and other third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners. If you own rights in material displayed on the Service and believe it should be removed or corrected, please contact us using the copyright process in Section 6 or the contact information below.
If you provide us with suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Service, you grant us the right to use that feedback for any purpose without compensation or obligation to you.
We respect intellectual property rights and comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). If you believe that content on the Service infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to:
Your notice must include:
We will respond to valid DMCA notices promptly and may remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content. We may also forward your notice, including your contact information, to the user who posted the material. Users who believe their content was removed by mistake may submit a counter-notification where permitted by law. Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.
In compliance with federal law, including the TAKE IT DOWN Act, we will remove any reported non-consensual intimate imagery within 48 hours of receiving a valid report. To submit a report, contact us at cody@vrotatedigital.com with the subject line "TAKE IT DOWN Request" and provide sufficient information for us to identify and locate the content.
The Service may contain links to third-party websites, services, or resources. We do not control and are not responsible for any third-party content, privacy practices, or availability. Your interactions with third-party services are governed by those third parties' terms and policies.
The Service uses the following third-party services to operate:
Your use of the Service is also subject to the terms and policies of these providers insofar as they apply to end users.
If you grant permission, PilotsDiner may send optional push notifications through Apple's Push Notification service, including service announcements, account-related information, community updates, and promotional messages. Delivery is not guaranteed. You may disable PilotsDiner sends in Account Management or revoke system permission in iOS Settings. Push notifications are supplemental and should not be relied upon for safety-critical, flight-planning, weather, or emergency information.
The PilotsDiner iOS application may display third-party banner advertisements to signed-out visitors on selected screens. Advertising may be unavailable, delayed, changed, limited by region or consent status, or removed at any time. We do not guarantee that any particular advertisement, advertiser, offer, product, or service will appear.
Advertising data practices and available consent or opt-out controls are described in our Privacy Policy and Privacy Choices page. Agreement to these Terms does not replace a separate privacy permission or choice required by law.
Third-party advertisements are provided by the advertiser or advertising provider. Except where PilotsDiner expressly states otherwise, an advertisement does not constitute our endorsement, warranty, sponsorship, recommendation, or verification of the advertiser or its claims. You are responsible for evaluating third-party offers before acting on them.
You may report an inappropriate advertisement using the Report Ad control displayed with the advertisement. Reports should identify a genuine concern and must not be used to submit unlawful, abusive, or fraudulent content. We may share the advertisement's response identifier, placement, report reason, and related technical details with Google or the advertiser as reasonably necessary to investigate the report.
Selecting an advertisement may open a third-party website, application, or App Store page. Those destinations are operated independently and are governed by their own terms, privacy practices, purchase terms, and security controls. To the maximum extent permitted by law, PilotsDiner is not responsible for third-party destination content, availability, transactions, products, services, or data practices.
We operate a public Discord server as an extension of the PilotsDiner community. The Discord server is open to all users and is not restricted to registered PilotsDiner account holders. By joining or participating in the Discord server, you agree to the following:
Violations of these Terms on the PilotsDiner website may, at our sole discretion, result in removal or banning from the Discord server. Likewise, violations of the Discord Server Rules or these Terms on the Discord server may, at our sole discretion, result in suspension or termination of your PilotsDiner website account. Cross-platform enforcement is not automatic — each situation is evaluated individually.
The Discord server is provided as a community space on an "as-is" basis. We do not guarantee the availability, uptime, or continuity of the Discord server. We are not responsible for content posted by other users on the Discord server, for any interactions between members, or for any data collected by Discord or third-party bot services operating within the server.
Hangar Club is an optional paid subscription that unlocks additional PilotsDiner features. Available plans, prices, billing intervals, renewal terms, and included features are shown before checkout. Website subscription payments are processed by Stripe. In-app purchases and subscriptions made through the PilotsDiner iOS application are processed by Apple. We do not store your full payment card number, expiration date, or CVV/security code.
You agree to provide accurate billing and contact information and authorize Stripe, Apple, and us, as applicable, to use that information to process payments, manage subscriptions, issue receipts, handle disputes, calculate applicable taxes, and comply with legal obligations.
Unless you cancel, Hangar Club subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period using the payment method on file. Monthly plans renew monthly. Annual plans renew annually. You authorize us, Stripe, and Apple, as applicable, to charge the applicable recurring subscription fee, plus any applicable taxes, until you cancel.
You may cancel Hangar Club at any time through your account subscription page, Stripe billing portal, Apple ID subscription settings, or other purchase-management flow shown at checkout. Cancellation stops future renewals. Your paid access continues through the end of the then-current billing period unless you receive a refund that immediately cancels access.
If you delete your PilotsDiner account, an active website-billed Hangar Club subscription is canceled immediately to prevent future renewals. Account deletion does not automatically provide a refund.
Deleting the PilotsDiner application, deleting your PilotsDiner account, or losing access to that account does not automatically cancel a subscription managed through your Apple ID.
For subscriptions purchased through the website, monthly plans are not refundable. Annual plans are eligible for a full refund only if requested within 24 hours of the initial annual purchase. Approved annual refunds immediately cancel Hangar Club access. Renewal charges and annual purchases outside the 24-hour refund window are not refundable except where required by law.
For subscriptions purchased through Apple, refund requests and refund decisions are handled by Apple under Apple's App Store policies. If Apple grants a refund, your Hangar Club access may end immediately or at the time Apple reports the refund or revocation to us.
We may change Hangar Club features, pricing, or plan terms from time to time. Any changes will apply prospectively, and we will provide notice where required by law or where the change materially affects your subscription.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICE — INCLUDING AIRPORT DATA, RUNWAY INFORMATION, FREQUENCY DATA, RESTAURANT DETAILS, HOURS OF OPERATION, MENU INFORMATION, FUEL PRICES, OR USER-SUBMITTED REVIEWS — IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR RELIABLE.
Airport and aeronautical data displayed on the Service is derived from FAA and other public sources and may not reflect the most current conditions. This information is not intended for and must not be used for flight planning, navigation, or any operational aviation decision. Pilots are solely responsible for consulting official FAA publications (including NOTAMs, Chart Supplements, and current sectional charts) for all flight operations.
Restaurant information including hours, menus, and availability is user-submitted and may be outdated or inaccurate. Always verify directly with the establishment before making travel plans.
Nothing on the Service constitutes professional aviation, legal, financial, or safety advice. Always consult qualified professionals and official sources for such matters.
Apple is not responsible for the Service, User Content, maintenance, support, claims, or any third-party intellectual property claims relating to the Service, except to the extent required by Apple's applicable terms and policies for App Store distribution and in-app purchases.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VROTATE DIGITAL LLC, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00).
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless vRotate Digital LLC, its officers, directors, members, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:
These Terms and any dispute arising from or related to the Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Before filing any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at cody@vrotatedigital.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.
If informal resolution is unsuccessful, any legal action or proceeding shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Florida. You consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND VROTATE DIGITAL LLC EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdictional limits.
You may delete your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at cody@vrotatedigital.com. Upon deletion, your profile information and associated User Content will be deleted as described in Section 3.1, subject to the limited retention exceptions stated there.
If you use Sign in with Apple, you may also need to remove PilotsDiner from your Sign in with Apple settings after deleting your PilotsDiner account. Instructions are available through Apple Support.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account, without prior notice, for any reason at our sole discretion, including but not limited to:
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 3.1 (license grant), 5, 9, 10, 11, and 12 — shall survive.
Suspension or termination of a PilotsDiner account by us may affect access to Hangar Club, but it does not automatically cancel a recurring subscription administered by Apple. Website-billed subscriptions are handled as described below.
When you initiate account deletion, an active website-billed Hangar Club subscription is canceled immediately without an automatic refund. Apple-billed subscriptions remain subject to Apple's separate cancellation and refund process.
For ordinary violations, we may permit access to paid features through the current billing period or suspend access when reasonably necessary to protect PilotsDiner, its users, or the integrity of the Service. Serious, repeated, fraudulent, unlawful, abusive, or safety-related violations may result in the immediate suspension or revocation of account and Hangar Club access.
For subscriptions purchased through the PilotsDiner website, we may cancel future renewal through our website billing provider when an account is terminated. Unless required by law or the refund terms in Section 8B, cancellation stops future billing and does not provide a prorated refund.
For subscriptions purchased through Apple, Apple controls subscription billing, cancellation, and refund processing. Users must manage or cancel these subscriptions through their Apple ID subscription settings. Account termination or deletion does not necessarily cancel an Apple subscription. Refund requests for Apple purchases are governed and decided by Apple under Apple's policies.
A payment, active subscription, or prior purchase does not exempt any user from these Terms or guarantee continued access following a violation.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you.
We may revise these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will:
Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and — where applicable — the Hangar Club subscription terms presented at the time of purchase and the Discord Server Rules, constitute the entire agreement between you and vRotate Digital LLC regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms without restriction.
We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of government, internet or infrastructure failures, or pandemics.
Notices to you will be sent to the email address associated with your account. Notices to us should be sent to cody@vrotatedigital.com.
