Welcome to PilotsDiner. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and vRotate Digital LLC, a Florida limited liability company doing business as PilotsDiner ("we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of pilotsdiner.com and all related services, features, and content (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.
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 allows you to submit content including, but not limited to, restaurant reviews, ratings, forum posts, comments, photographs, menu photos, restaurant submissions, 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. This license continues even if you stop using the Service, but only for User Content that has already been made public or shared with other users through the Service.
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. Upon deletion or approved removal, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to remove the content from public view, unless retention is required for legal, safety, moderation, backup, or integrity purposes. Previously published User Content may continue to appear in anonymized or de-identified form after account deletion, and cached or archived 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.
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.
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. 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.
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. Subscription payments are processed by Stripe, and 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 and us 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 and Stripe 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 or Stripe billing portal. 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.
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.
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.
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 will be removed, though your previously published User Content may persist as described in Section 3.1.
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.
If you hold an active Hangar Club subscription or any other paid subscription at the time your account is suspended or terminated under Section 13.2:
For clarity, paying for a subscription does not exempt you from any provision of these Terms, including the conduct standards in Section 4 and the termination provisions in Section 13.2.
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.
