Terms of Service

Last updated: August 2, 2026 (rev. C)

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you ("you" or "User") and WISE INTERNATIONAL LLC DBA VECTORWX, a Wyoming limited liability company ("VectorWX," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the VectorWX mobile application, related APIs, websites (including vectorwx.app), software, content, and any updates or documentation (collectively, the "Service").

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. They include important provisions that limit our liability, require you to indemnify us, require individual binding arbitration of disputes, and waive class actions. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility and Capacity

You may use the Service only if you: (a) are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction); (b) have the legal capacity to enter a binding contract; (c) are not barred from using the Service under applicable law (including U.S. export and sanctions laws); and (d) will use the Service only for lawful purposes consistent with these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" includes that organization.

2. Nature of the Service — Student Learning Tool

VectorWX is a student learning and aviation data-reading practice tool. It filters, summarizes, and displays weather and NOTAM information retrieved from public government and other third-party sources. The Service is intended solely to help you practice reviewing reported aviation data along a route you specify.

The Service does not produce official reports, replace FAA or other official briefings, or provide flight-decision advice.

The Service is not, and you agree not to treat it as:

You are solely and exclusively responsible for all decisions relating to the operation of any aircraft. Under 14 CFR § 91.3 (and any analogous regulations), the pilot in command is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to, the operation of the aircraft. VectorWX does not act as pilot in command, remote pilot in command, dispatcher, operational control provider, or flight instructor for any user.

3. Assumption of Risk — Aviation Activities

Aviation involves inherent and unavoidable risks of property damage, serious injury, and death. You knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks arising from your aviation activities and from any use of, reliance on, or failure to verify information from the Service. You agree that VectorWX has no duty to warn you beyond the disclosures in these Terms and in the Service, and that no feature of the Service creates a special relationship or duty of care regarding flight safety.

4. No Professional or Operational Reliance

You agree that you will not rely on the Service as the sole, primary, or decisive basis for any operational, regulatory, or aeronautical decision, including whether to initiate, continue, divert, delay, or terminate a flight, or to operate under VFR or IFR.

You must independently obtain, verify, and use official briefing products and data sources (for example, FAA / Leidos Flight Service at 1800wxbrief.com, your EFB provider, ATIS, AWOS/ASOS, ATC, and current NOTAM publications) before any flight, and must cross-check Service output against those sources.

Any summaries, color codes, indicators, comparisons, profile overlays, TL;DR text, or machine-generated language produced by the Service are automated presentations of data you request and may omit, misstate, delay, misclassify, or misinterpret source material. Errors and omissions will occur.

5. Route Indicator, Profile, and Limits

If you enter personal weather limits (such as ceiling, visibility, or crosswind) or configure an on-device pilot profile, the Service may display a green / amber / red route indicator or additional on-device context.

These displays:

Color labels describe only how displayed data relates to your stated settings — not whether operation is permitted, advisable, safe, or appropriate. You remain solely responsible for interpreting all data.

6. Nearby Airport METAR Snapshots

When shown, nearby airport METAR snapshots are unordered reference data sorted by distance only. They are not ranked, scored, recommended, or presented as suitable alternates, divert airports, or destinations. You must independently evaluate any airport using official sources before any routing change.

7. Crosswind and Planning Facts

Crosswind components, runway comparisons, TAF timing statements, winds aloft summaries, and similar "planning facts" are mathematical or textual summaries derived from reported data. They are provided for convenience only and may not reflect actual runway conditions, braking action, aircraft limitations, gust factors, wind shear, or current ATC instructions.

8. Shared Content and Deep Links

If you share briefing images, text, or deep links (vectorwx:// URLs), recipients receive a point-in-time snapshot that may be stale, incomplete, or missing context. You are solely responsible for what you share and for any claims arising from shared content. Shared content is not endorsed by VectorWX as current, complete, or suitable for any purpose. Recipients must obtain their own official briefings.

9. Automated Summaries and Third-Party AI

Some NOTAM, SIGMET, and related text may be processed through automated summarization, including third-party machine-learning providers. Summaries are generated without human review and may omit, simplify, invent, or misstate source text. Always read the raw data and official publications. You authorize us to transmit public aviation text you request to such providers solely to generate summaries, subject to our Privacy Policy.

10. Data Sources and Accuracy

The Service retrieves data from public sources such as the FAA Aviation Weather Center, SWIM, D-ATIS, and other third parties. We do not operate those sources and do not control their availability, accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. We do not warrant that any particular data type will be available for any route or time.

Weather and NOTAM information changes rapidly. Data shown in the Service may be delayed, truncated, filtered incorrectly, misclassified, rate-limited, or unavailable due to outages, upstream failures, or processing errors.

11. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

You may use the Service for personal aviation reference purposes subject to these Terms, including through a paid VectorWX Pro subscription (see Section 12). The Service is not offered for enterprise dispatch, Part 121/135 operational control, flight release, or commercial redistribution as a data product without our prior written consent.

You agree not to, and not to attempt to:

We may investigate suspected violations and cooperate with law enforcement. Violation may result in immediate suspension or termination, rate limiting, and pursuit of civil or criminal remedies.

12. Subscriptions, Introductory Offer, Billing, and Refunds

VectorWX offers a free tier and an optional VectorWX Pro auto-renewing subscription sold exclusively through Apple's App Store. By starting a Pro subscription or redeeming an introductory offer, you agree to this Section 12 in addition to Apple's applicable App Store terms. Apple's terms control payment processing; these Terms control your relationship with VectorWX regarding the Service.

12.1 Free tier (no subscription required)

The free tier does not require payment. As of the date above, it includes QUICK weather data without NOTAMs and FULL weather plus NOTAM data, subject to the following product allowances:

QUICK and network access are subject to fair-use limits. We may temporarily limit requests to protect service availability. No payment information is required for the free tier. Free tier usage does not start a Pro subscription and does not obligate you to subscribe.

12.2 VectorWX Pro plans

Pro is offered as:

Exact prices, taxes, and currency are determined by Apple and displayed at purchase. The yearly price is shown as Save 37% versus twelve monthly payments and is charged annually. Pro removes the total FULL-session cap and includes 50 briefing history entries. Personal limits, route indicators, sharing, and 5 favorite routes remain available on both plans.

Fair-use limits protect service availability and may change. All plans and network access remain subject to fair-use limits; numeric technical capacities are not part of the public product promise. Exceeding a technical limit may result in temporary denial of requests.

12.3 Introductory offer — first month free

Important — read before you subscribe:

Eligible new subscribers to the monthly plan may receive a free first month (Apple free trial). You are not charged during the introductory month.

From the second month onward, the subscription automatically renews at the regular price — US $3.99 per month (or the then-current local price) — unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the first month ends. The subscription continues to auto-renew each month until you cancel.

Example: If you start the free month on July 1, Pro is free for July 1–31. Unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date, Apple charges $3.99 on August 1 and on each monthly renewal thereafter, per Apple's billing clock.

To avoid renewal at the regular price, you must cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the introductory month in your Apple ID subscription settings:

If you cancel during the free introductory month, Pro remains active until the end of that month; no charge is due for the free period. Introductory offer eligibility is determined by Apple. The yearly plan does not include the free introductory month.

Starting the free month authorizes Apple to charge your Apple ID payment method the regular price on each renewal date after the introductory period ends, unless you cancel in time.

12.4 Auto-renewal and cancellation

Subscriptions automatically renew until cancelled. Your renewal date and price are shown in your Apple ID subscription management screen. You are solely responsible for managing cancellation before each renewal if you do not wish to continue.

Deleting the App does not cancel your subscription. Uninstalling VectorWX without cancelling in Apple ID settings will not stop future charges.

We may change subscription features, limits, or pricing for future billing periods where permitted by Apple; Apple will notify you of price changes as required by its policies.

12.5 Refunds — no direct refunds from VectorWX

All Pro payments are processed by Apple, not by VectorWX. We do not receive your payment card details and we do not issue refunds, credits, or charge reversals directly.

Subscription fees are non-refundable from VectorWX once charged, including renewals at the regular price after the free introductory month, except where applicable law requires otherwise or Apple approves a refund in its sole discretion.

If you believe you were charged in error or wish to request a refund, you must contact Apple, not VectorWX, at reportaproblem.apple.com or Apple Support. Apple's refund decisions are made solely by Apple. VectorWX cannot override Apple's billing system, cannot guarantee a refund, and is not responsible for Apple's refund determinations.

By completing a Pro purchase or allowing the introductory month to renew at the regular price, you acknowledge that:

Nothing in this Section limits mandatory consumer rights that cannot be waived in your jurisdiction. Where such rights apply, they apply only to the extent required by law.

12.6 Changes to features

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue free or paid features at any time, with or without notice, except where notice is required by law or Apple policy. We have no obligation to provide any particular feature indefinitely.

13. Intellectual Property; Feedback

The Service, including its software, design, trademarks, branding, APIs, and documentation, is owned by WISE INTERNATIONAL LLC or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Government-sourced aviation data remains subject to its original terms and public-domain status where applicable. These Terms grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial reference in accordance with these Terms. No other rights are granted.

If you submit feedback, ideas, or suggestions, you grant VectorWX a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use and exploit them without restriction or compensation.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, currency, quiet enjoyment, or uninterrupted or error-free availability.

We do not warrant that the Service will be suitable for any particular flight, aircraft, crew, airspace, operation, or user, or that any data, summary, indicator, or color will be correct. Your use of the Service is at your sole risk.

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions, exclusions apply to the fullest extent permitted.

15. Marketing and App Store Materials

Descriptions, screenshots, promotional text, website content, TestFlight materials, and in-app marketing are for general information only. If any marketing statement conflicts with these Terms or with data shown in the Service, these Terms and the actual in-app disclaimers control. No marketing material creates a warranty, guarantee, or operational promise.

16. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

(a) WISE INTERNATIONAL LLC AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, enhanced, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, we shall have no liability for damages arising from: flight operations; aircraft accidents or incidents; property damage; personal injury; wrongful death; emotional distress; regulatory enforcement; ATC or airspace events; or your reliance on (or failure to verify) any data, summary, indicator, or feature of the Service.

(c) OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (i) US $50 or (ii) the amounts you paid to Apple for VectorWX Pro subscriptions attributable to VectorWX in the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. If you have paid nothing, our maximum liability is US $50.

(d) These limitations apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. They are a fundamental basis of the bargain and allocate risk between you and VectorWX.

(e) Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations (including for personal injury caused by negligence); in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

17. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless WISE INTERNATIONAL LLC and its officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, and affiliates (the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of or related to: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) your aviation or aircraft operations, including any accident, incident, or regulatory action; (c) your reliance on any Service output; (d) your shared content or deep links; (e) your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right; (f) your negligent or wrongful acts or omissions; and (g) any claim by a passenger, student, instructor, employer, insurer, or other third party related to your use of the Service.

We may, at our option, assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification (at your expense). You will not settle any claim without our prior written consent. Your indemnification obligations survive termination of these Terms and your use of the Service.

18. Suspension and Termination

We may, in our sole discretion, suspend, rate-limit, restrict, or terminate your access to all or part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any or no reason, including suspected violation of these Terms, abuse of the API, chargeback abuse, security risk, or legal compliance. You may stop using the Service at any time. Upon termination, your license ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 2–11, 13–17, 19–25, and this survival language) survive termination.

Termination does not cancel App Store subscriptions; you must cancel with Apple separately.

19. Dispute Resolution — Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

19.1 Informal resolution

Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at support@vectorwx.app and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. Notice must include your name, the email associated with any correspondence, a description of the dispute, and the relief sought.

19.2 Binding arbitration

Except for the Excluded Claims below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or their breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity (including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate) shall be determined by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or Commercial Arbitration Rules if Consumer Rules do not apply), as modified by these Terms.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The seat of arbitration shall be Cheyenne, Wyoming, unless you and we agree otherwise or the arbitrator determines that a different location or remote/telephonic/video hearing is appropriate. The language shall be English. The arbitrator may award any relief available in court on an individual basis, subject to the limitations of liability in these Terms. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

19.3 Class action and jury waiver

YOU AND VECTORWX AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, COLLECTIVE, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. YOU AND VECTORWX WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL to the maximum extent permitted by law.

19.4 Excluded Claims; California and consumer carve-outs

Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court for eligible claims. Either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service, without waiving arbitration of related damages claims.

Public injunctive relief: If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction that prohibits waiver of the right to seek public injunctive relief (including certain claims under California law), that request for public injunctive relief may proceed in court, and all other claims remain subject to arbitration to the fullest extent permitted.

Non-waivable rights: Nothing in this Section requires arbitration of claims that applicable law says may not be arbitrated, or waives any non-waivable statutory right. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) may proceed in court and shall be severed from arbitration.

Mass-arbitration coordination: If 25 or more similar demands are filed against VectorWX by or with the same counsel, AAA mass-arbitration supplementary rules (or successor procedures) may apply to promote efficient resolution.

19.5 Opt-out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to support@vectorwx.app within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, with subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out," including your name and a clear statement that you opt out. If you opt out, Section 19.6 (venue) applies instead of arbitration for your disputes, but all other Terms remain in effect.

19.6 Governing law and fallback venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration agreement. WISE INTERNATIONAL LLC is organized under Wyoming law.

If the arbitration agreement is found not to apply to you or your claim (including if you timely opt out), you agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue for disputes shall lie in the state or federal courts located in Wyoming, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there, except where prohibited by law.

19.7 Time limit to bring claims

To the maximum extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after the claim accrued; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred.

20. Modifications

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will post the updated Terms on this page with a new "Last updated" date. For material changes, we may also provide additional notice (for example, in-app notice or a banner on our website). Except where applicable law requires affirmative consent, your continued use of the Service after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and cancel any subscription with Apple.

21. Apple-Specific Terms

If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store: (a) these Terms are between you and VectorWX only, not Apple; (b) Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support; (c) to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation; (d) Apple is not responsible for addressing claims relating to the App (including product liability, legal/regulatory compliance, or consumer protection claims); (e) Apple is not responsible for investigation, defense, settlement, or discharge of any third-party IP claim; (f) you represent you are not in a U.S.-embargoed country or on a U.S. denied-party list; and (g) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Your use must also comply with Apple's App Store Terms of Use / Licensed Application End User License Agreement.

22. Export Controls, Sanctions, and Territory

You may not use, export, or re-export the Service except as authorized by U.S. law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the Service. You represent that you are not located in any country subject to a U.S. government embargo, and are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

The App is currently offered for App Store distribution in limited territories (including the United States and Canada). Availability in a territory does not waive these Terms or create rights beyond applicable local law.

23. Electronic Communications

You consent to receive notices, agreements, disclosures, and other communications electronically, including via the Service, website posting, or email to an address you provide. Electronic notices satisfy any legal writing requirement unless mandatory law provides otherwise.
