Terms Of Service - Client

1. Parties and Effective Date

This Client Agreement ("Agreement") is between PrecisionHawk, Inc. ("PrecisionHawk") and you as a user of the Droners.io site and services who is subscribing to or otherwise using the Droners.io site and services ("Client" or "you"), whether or not you actually accept any proposals or buy any goods or services from any other Droners.io user. Your use of the Droners.io website, located at https://droners.io (the "Site") and any other Droners.io services, will at all times be governed by this Agreement and Droners.io's Privacy Policy , (collectively, the "Client Terms and Conditions").

This version of the Client Agreement was implemented and became effective on October 29, 2021 ("Effective Date"). It applies from the later of that date and the date on which you accepted it through the Site.

2. Purpose of Droners.io

PrecisionHawk has created an online marketplace through the Droners.io web site to connect pilots of unmanned aerial vehicles (also known as a UAV) ("Pilots" and, together with you and other buyers or potential buyers, "Users"), with users who wish to purchase goods and services. On and through the Site, you and others may post open requests to invite bids or proposals from Pilots for custom goods or services ("Job Requests"). Pilots may post information about their skills and past projects in their profiles and submit bids or proposals in response to Job Requests ("Job Proposals"). Once a bid or proposal is accepted, you and Pilots can communicate with each other to form an agreement whereby a Pilot will create and deliver a custom good or service (a "Job") to you (a "Job Agreement"). PrecisionHawk makes no guaranty, representation, or assurance that a Job Agreement will be legally enforceable if challenged.

Prior to your entering into a given Job Agreement, PrecisionHawk shall have the right (but in no event any obligation) to reject any Job Agreement by notifying the parties thereto that they may not enter into the proposed Job Agreement

3. Eligibility to use the Site

The Site is available only to legal entities or persons who are at least eighteen (18) years old and are otherwise capable of forming legally binding contracts under applicable law. If you are a person who agrees to this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, the terms "Client," "you," and "your" refer both to you personally and the entity on whose behalf you agree. Furthermore, you personally represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement precludes you from engaging with PrecisionHawk or the Site as a Pilot, as long as you open a separate account designated for Pilots and agree to the terms of the separate agreement applicable to Pilots (the "Pilot Agreement").

PrecisionHawk shall at all times have the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend or cancel a User's account or access to the Site, or to otherwise preclude a User from using the Site or the Droners.io services, for any reason or no reason. If your account is suspended, restricted, or cancelled, you may not continue to use the Droners.io service or Site under a different or new account.

4. Role of PrecisionHawk

You agree that when you accept a Job Proposal made to you by another User of the Site, you are agreeing and intending to enter into a binding legal agreement with that User. That binding agreement shall be between only you and that other User. PrecisionHawk shall not be a party to any agreement between you and another User. You understand and agree that PrecisionHawk does not deliver any goods or provide services for or on behalf of any User, does not ensure payment by any User, and does not make any representations regarding the quality of such goods or services, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Client acknowledges, agrees and understands that: (i) the Site is merely a venue for introducing and facilitating agreements between Users; (ii) PrecisionHawk is not a party to any Job Agreements between Users; (iii) no User, including you, is an employee, agent, or representative of PrecisionHawk; (iv) PrecisionHawk is not an employee, agent, or representative of any User, including you; (v) PrecisionHawk does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control any User's work; (vi) PrecisionHawk shall not have any liability or obligations under or related to Job Agreements or for any acts or omissions by any User; (vii) PrecisionHawk has no control over Users; and (viii) PrecisionHawk makes no representations as to (a) the reliability, capability, honesty, qualifications, licenses, certificates, exemptions or other characteristics of any User or any User's statements or conduct; or (b) the quality, safety, or legality of any Job delivered by a Pilot. PrecisionHawk requires that every active pilot on the site show proof of obtaining Remote Pilot Certificate upon joining the site.

6. General Client Performance

PrecisionHawk expects a consistent and high level of courtesy, respect and professionalism from all of its Users toward each other and reserves the right to expel or suspend any User at any time for any reason, in PrecisionHawk's sole discretion.

When Client accepts a proposal from another User that results in a Job Agreement, Client agrees and intends that by doing so, Client is entering into a binding agreement directly with that User, which Client will honor. PrecisionHawk is not a party to any Job Agreement or other agreements between or among Users. Client understands and agrees that the Pilot with which Client enters into a Job Agreement, not PrecisionHawk, will be the merchant of record for all transactions through the Site.

Client shall not enter into any Job Agreement with terms that would cause Client to violate any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Client agrees to promptly deliver payment to the Pilot in accordance with the terms of any Job Agreement unless the Pilot fails to meet the material terms of the Job Agreement.

Client agrees to use good judgment when posting information, comments, feedback or other content regarding other Users, PrecisionHawk, or any third party anywhere within the Site. User may be held legally responsible for damages suffered by other Users, PrecisionHawk or any third party as a result of legally actionable or defamatory comments, remarks or other information or content posted to the Site.

Client shall not post to the Site or include in any communications with another User, information that is libelous, defamatory, obscene, abusive, pornographic, threatening, inaccurate, or an invasion of privacy; an infringement of another's intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to, copyrights and trademarks; illegal in any way or that advocates illegal activity under any applicable law; an advertisement or solicitation of funds, goods, or services, other than for the purpose of conducting business with other Users pursuant to the purpose of the Site as stated in Section 2; an impersonation of another; or personal information of another, including but not limited to personal phone numbers, account numbers, personal addresses, or employer references.

Client agrees that PrecisionHawk is not and shall not be legally responsible for any remarks, information, or other content posted or made available on the Site by any other User or third party, even if such information or content is defamatory or otherwise legally actionable. PrecisionHawk is not responsible for and does not monitor or censor content for accuracy. PrecisionHawk reserves the right, however, to remove or restrict access to any information or content posted or made available on the Site if ordered to do so by a court, if PrecisionHawk considers such information or content to be inappropriate, or for any other reason, in its sole discretion.

All identity information associated with the Client and Client's account on the Site must be real and verifiable. Client shall at all times ensure that the information associated with the Client's account is accurate and updated. PrecisionHawk may validate Client information at any time. Client shall reasonably cooperate with any such verification efforts, including but not limited to providing to PrecisionHawk upon request government or legal documents that confirm the Client's identity.

Client is solely responsible for ensuring and maintaining the secrecy and security of Client's account information and password. Client agrees not to disclose Client's password to, or allow the use of Client's account by, any third party. Client agrees that Client shall be solely responsible for any use of the Client's account or Client's password, whether or not Client authorizes such use.

Client authorizes PrecisionHawk to run credit card authorizations on any credit cards provided by Client. Client may terminate PrecisionHawk membership and disable the Client's account at any time. Client shall, however, remain bound by the terms of this Agreement even if Client disables Client's account.

7. Communications with Users

All written communications relating to Jobs, transactions, or potential transactions between Client and any other User must be conducted through the Site. All such communications must be in English and may not contain any requests to circumvent the Site.

Client shall immediately notify PrecisionHawk if another User communicates in writing with Client other than through the Site.

When engaged in communications concerning Jobs, transactions, or potential transactions with other Users, Client shall regularly review and respond promptly to communications from such Users.

8. Posting A Job Request

Job Requests must be of a professional nature and accurately describe the good or service requested. They should be free of offensive language or advertisements for other products or services. Job Requests may not request any good or service that is illegal or the provision of which would infringe upon any third party's intellectual property or other rights.

9. Disintermediation

Disintermediation, as used in this Agreement, means Client's conducting outside of the Site or through any channels other than those provided or specified by PrecisionHawk any transaction with another User to whom Client was introduced through or as a result of Client's use of the Site. Client shall not engage in Disintermediation or request that another User engage in Disintermediation.

Client shall immediately notify PrecisionHawk if another User requests that Client engage in Disintermediation.

10. Payments

Client agrees that for all Jobs for which Client is required to make payment to another User, all payments are to be made and accepted only through a payment mechanism provided or approved by PrecisionHawk (an "Approved Payment Mechanism"). Client shall immediately notify PrecisionHawk if another User requests that Client make a payment by any method other than an Approved Payment Mechanism.

Client shall, at Client's own expense, take all steps necessary to enable Client to make payments through at least one Approved Payment Mechanism, including but not limited to, as applicable, acquiring necessary computer equipment and software, establishing an account with a third-party payment processor, and providing credit card and bank account information.

To the extent an Approved Payment Mechanism involves the use of a PrecisionHawk-approved third-party payment processor ("Payment Processor"), PrecisionHawk may make available, for the convenience of Users, the ability to communicate with and make payments using the Payment Processor through Site. Client understands and agrees to the following with respect to any Approved Payment Mechanism, whether or not it involves a Payment Processor, and whether or not PrecisionHawk provides a User with the ability to access or use a Payment Processor's services through the Site: (a) PrecisionHawk does not oversee or control the receipt or transfer of payments; (b) PrecisionHawk shall have no responsibility or liability for any losses or damages relating to or arising out of the receipt or transmission of payments, including but not limited to losses or damages from misdirected or lost payments, breaches of security, chargebacks, fraud, theft of funds, violations of banking, money-laundering, privacy, or any other laws relating to or arising out of the use of an Approved Payment Mechanism; (c) Client shall comply with all terms and conditions imposed by any Payment Processor; (d) Client shall be responsible for and shall pay any fees charged to Client by a Payment Processor, credit card network, bank, or other financial institution, or otherwise imposed on Client as a result of payments made or received through an Approved Payment Mechanism; and (e) Client consents to PrecisionHawk or the Payment Processor deducting from any payment made by Client, and paying to PrecisionHawk, amounts that are due from Client to PrecisionHawk, or delaying the transfer of funds when amounts are due from Pilot, whether such amounts are the result of the Job for which the payment is received or otherwise. Nothing herein is intended to limit any rights you may have against a Payment Processor.

11. Droners.io Service Fee

Client understands and agrees that Droners.io charges a transaction-based fee for Droners.io's services and technology provided through the Site and otherwise (the "Service Fee"). The Service Fee is charged to any Pilot with which Client enters into a Job Agreement. For each Job Agreement, the Droners.io Service Fee is 10% of the total price billed for the Job, excluding taxes and shipping or delivery costs.

For each Job, the Service Fee shall be due immediately upon Client's first payment pursuant to the Job Agreement, although PrecisionHawk may, at its sole discretion, opt to defer all or a portion of the Service Fee for a given Job until Client makes final payment for that Job.

PrecisionHawk shall have the right to collect the Droners.io Service Fee directly from the funds that Client provides to the Pilot through an Approved Payment Mechanism.

From time to time, PrecisionHawk may, at its sole discretion, choose to offer Pilots discounts on the Service Fee or a credit towards the Service Fee. Unless PrecisionHawk states in writing otherwise, all Service Fees are final and nonrefundable.

12. Failure to Pay

If Client becomes responsible under this Agreement to make any payments to PrecisionHawk and fails to pay such amounts when due, Client shall be responsible to PrecisionHawk for all amounts due, plus any applicable processing fees, charges or penalties, collection costs (including but not limited to attorneys' fees), and interest on the unpaid amount at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum allowed by law. In its discretion, and without limiting its other available remedies, PrecisionHawk may setoff amounts due from Client against amounts received from or held for Client, and may make appropriate reports to credit reporting agencies.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or the availability of other remedies, in the event that Client fails to make any payment to PrecisionHawk when due, Client consents to (a) PrecisionHawk directing any Payment Processor to withhold payments, or any portion thereof, otherwise due to Client, and to pay withheld amounts to PrecisionHawk to setoff, in whole or in part, amounts owed to PrecisionHawk; (b) Payment Processor complying with such direction; and (c) PrecisionHawk or Payment Processor charging any Client credit cards, bank accounts, or other payment methods or sources available to PrecisionHawk amounts due from Client.

13. Feedback and Reputation Management

Droners.io provides its feedback and reputation management system as a service to Client and other Users, through which Users can express their opinions and experiences publicly about other Users. Droners.io does not monitor or censor these statements, or investigate any remarks posted by Users for accuracy. Client acknowledges and agrees that the Site may contain publicly available comments and feedback about Client from other Users with whom Client has transacted or interacted through and in connection with the Site. Client acknowledges that feedback results for Client may consist of comments and ratings left by other Users that are or that Client perceives as negative. Client also acknowledges and agrees that Droners.io may (but shall have no obligation to) calculate composite feedback numbers, scores, or other ratings based on User feedback. Client acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall PrecisionHawk be responsible or liable for, and Client releases PrecisionHawk and holds PrecisionHawk harmless from, any claims that Client might have as a result of any other User's comments or feedback about Client, or any scores, numbers, ratings or other data or information derived from User comments or feedback, even if that information is defamatory or otherwise legally actionable.

Client understands and agrees that Client may be held legally responsible to other Users, PrecisionHawk, or third parties as a result of comments or feedback that Client submits to the Site. Any effort to falsify feedback, or to manipulate or coerce another User by threatening negative feedback or offering to sell or buy goods or services in exchange for feedback is in violation of this Agreement, and may expose Client to liability. Other actions that constitute an abuse of the reputation management system and a violation of this Agreement include, but are not limited to, submitting to the feedback system links, profanity, or inappropriate content, and contacting Users to provide direct feedback about other Users with whom Client has interacted, whether or not that feedback is negative.

PrecisionHawk shall at all times have the right, in its sole discretion, to maintain, modify, or delete statements, feedback, comments, or ratings, although shall have no obligation to do so.

PrecisionHawk shall at all times have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine how search algorithms through the Site will function, including but not limited to determining the manner in which Pilots and Pilots' portfolios rank and are listed in response to User searches, and which Job Requests Pilots are able to view or respond to.

14. Release

Client agrees that by entering into this Agreement, Client, for Client and Client's predecessors, successors, and assigns (together, the "Client Releasors"), releases and forever discharges PrecisionHawk and its predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, officers, directors, employees subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, attorneys, contractors, and suppliers (together, the "PrecisionHawk Releasees") from and against all actions, causes of action, claims, suits, debts, damages, judgments, liabilities, rights, contracts, obligations, and demands, whether now known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, that any of the Client Releasors has, may have, has asserted, or could have asserted, of any nature and relating to any subject, excluding the right of Client to enforce this Agreement according to its terms.

In addition, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Client, for the Client Releasors, specifically releases and forever discharges the PrecisionHawk Releasees from and against all actions, causes of action, claims, suits, debts, damages, judgments, liabilities, rights, contracts, obligations, and demands, whether now known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, that any of the Client Releasors has, may have, has asserted, or could have asserted, of any nature arising out of or in any way connected with any disputes Client may have with any other User of the Site.

PrecisionHawk does not claim any ownership rights in Client's Content. When Client posts Content to the Site, Client grants PrecisionHawk a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sub licensable (through multiple tiers) license to exercise any and all copyright, trademark, other intellectual property, publicity, and database rights that Client has in the Content, in any media known now or in the future. Client agrees to allow PrecisionHawk to store or re-format the Content on the Site and display the Content in any way PrecisionHawk chooses in its sole discretion. Client agrees to allow PrecisionHawk to use the Content in advertising and marketing, and to display the Content on other websites in connection with Droners.io's activities on the other websites.
