Airble Terms of Use
Airble Terms of Use
Thank you for expressing interest in Airble Aviation Inc. (“Airble”, “we” or “us”) and our online travel “marketplace”. The Airble “marketplace” collectively consists of our website, including any subdomains thereof, any other websites through which Airble makes its services available, and our mobile, tablet and other smart device applications and application program interfaces (collectively referred to as our “Platform”). These terms and conditions of use, as may be amended, restated or replaced by us from time to time (“Terms of Use” or “Terms”), apply to all of Airble’s booking services (including the facilitation of payments) made available through the Platform (including where any services are provided by telephone or indirectly through a distributor), and constitute a legally binding contract between you and Airble that governs your access to and use of the Platform.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING “I AGREE”, BY SIGNING UP, SIGNING IN OR USING THE PLATFORM, AND/OR BY COMPLETING A RESERVATION OR PURCHASING ANY SERVICES ON THE PLATFORM, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY, THESE TERMS OF USE, (WHICH INCLUDE AIRBLE’S PRIVACY POLICY ACCESSIBLE AT https://airble.com/legal/privacy). IF YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE ON BEHALF OF AN ORGANIZATION, THEN YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND THAT ORGANIZATION TO THESE TERMS OF USE. IN THAT CASE, THE TERM “YOU” WILL REFER TO THE ORGANIZATION.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE (INCLUDING AIRBLE’S PRIVACY POLICY WHICH IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE IN THE LINKED PRIVACY POLICY), YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO ACCESS THE PLATFORM OR PURCHASE ANY SERVICES ON THE PLATFORM.
What is Airble?
Airble is an online “marketplace” to facilitate reservations and purchase by customers of various commercial air services, including without limitation any related Tour operator services (“Services”), provided by aircraft operators and air carriers (“Service Providers”). Using the Platform, customers may purchase various Services, such as aerial sightseeing and air transportation of passenger and/or cargo, directly from duly certified and licenced Service Providers. Airble is an intermediary marketplace that does not act as the agent of the customer who reserves and purchases commercial air Services or related tour operator Services nor as an agent of the air carrier or tour operator and such air carriers and tour operators remain in operational control of the aircraft or tour operation, as the case may be.
Airble is not an airline or an air carrier, foreign air carrier, or an aircraft operator, and is not affiliated with any air carriers, foreign air carriers, or air operators. Airble does not own or operate any aircraft and does not provide any air transportation services nor any Tour operator services. Airble does not hold an Air Service Provider Certificate issued by Transport Canada under Part VII of the Canadian Aviation Regulations nor a licence to provide domestic or international scheduled or non-scheduled services issued by the Canadian Transportation Agency under the Transportation Regulations, nor does it hold a certificate, permit or exemption to provide air transportation issued by any other aviation authorities. It does not act as a travel agent and is not registered as a travel agent in any jurisdiction. Airble’s commercial relationship with Service Providers is governed by separate terms and conditions that govern the advertising and sale of air travel services by such Service Providers on the Platform. Airble is compensated by Service Providers for the listing of their Services on the Platform, and by transaction fees when you purchase services.
YOU AGREE THAT THE AIR TRAVEL SERVICES AND OTHER SERVICES PROVIDED BY A SERVICE PROVIDER, WHETHER ARRANGED OR HIRED THROUGH THE PLATFORM, ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SERVICE PROVIDER. IN ADDITION TO THESE TERMS OF USE, SUCH SERVICE PROVIDERS MAY HAVE, OR REQUIRE YOU TO ACCEPT ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR YOUR ACCESS AND USE OF SERVICES OFFERED BY SUCH SERVICE PROVIDERS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE SERVICE PROVIDERS’ CONTRACTS OF CARRIAGE AND TARIFFS. SUCH CONTRACTS AND TARIFFS DO NOT INVOLVE AIRBLE.
Service Providers
Service Providers are responsible for delivering and performing the Services you purchase on the Platform as well as identifying and complying with all laws and regulations that apply to the Services provided by them. In Canada, commercial air services, including aerial sightseeing and air transportation of passengers and/or cargo, may only be provided by aircraft operators that hold an air operator certificate issued under Part VII of the Canadian Aviation Regulations under theAeronautics Act. Further, the Canada Transportation Act requires that aircraft operators offering air services to the public for the transportation of passengers or goods by air for hire or reward must hold a licence to provide such air services. Other Tour operator services may require that the provider of those services hold certain licenses, permits or other authorizations issued by government or regulatory authorities. Service Providers are solely responsible for ensuring that they comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including certification and licencing requirements under the laws of Canada and any other jurisdiction where such Service Providers operate. Under no circumstances whatsoever is Airble responsible for the contents of any advertisement or promotion displayed by any Service Provider, whether on the Platform or otherwise, any representation or warranty by or through a Service Provider, the delivery and performance of, or any failure to deliver and perform the whole or part of any Services, or any deficiencies in the Services, whether sold or made available through the Platform or otherwise.
All references in these Terms of Use to Canadian laws and to licenses shall, to the extent the Services are to be carried out in the United States or any other jurisdiction, be deemed to refer to applicable laws of United States or such other jurisdiction, and to licences, permits and authorizations issued under such laws of United States or such other jurisdiction.
IN ALL CASES, AIRBLE’S LIABILITY TO YOU IS LIMITED AND IS OUTLINED IN SECTION 11.

- Private Flights
A Private Flight is one where a User reserves the entire aircraft for a flight or a series of flights. The User submitting a booking request through the Platform is responsible for the payment of all applicable fares, charges, fees and taxes in respect of such flight or flights. The User may invite other individuals, who need not be Users, as his or her guests to travel on such flight up to the maximum number of passengers that may be carried on the applicable aircraft, provided that the User has (i) informed the Service Provider through the Platform of the number of such guests and provided such other information about the guests as the Service Provider requires in order to ensure safe operation of the aircraft; and (ii) paid the Service Provider through the Platform any additional fees applicable for the carriage of additional passengers as a result of increased costs (including in respect of fuel, airport fees and applicable third party charges).
A Service Provider may offer a Private Flight as a special offer on an Empty Leg Flight. An “Empty Leg Flight” is a flight operated by a Service Provider to position an aircraft for another flight, or to return an aircraft to its base of operations after another flight. All bookings of Empty Leg Flights are non-changeable and non-refundable unless stated otherwise by the Service Provider.
- Shared Flights
Shared Flights are flights where a User (“Primary User”) reserves the entire aircraft for a flight and authorizes the Service Provider to market a certain number of seats as Individual Seats (as described below) through the Platform on a resale basis, at a price per seat determined by the Service Provider. If any Individual Seats are purchased by other Users, the Primary User shall be entitled to receive a partial refund of the Service Charge (as defined below) and applicable taxes thereon paid by the Primary User through the Platform, in an amount equal to the Service Charges paid by the other users for such Individual Seats. For clarity, the Primary User shall not be entitled to a refund of the whole or part of the Processing Fee and applicable taxes thereon paid by the Primary User. Unless otherwise stated in the Service Provider Conditions, reservations made by (i) the Primary User for a Shared Flight may be cancelled at any time before an Individual Seat is purchased on such flight by another User, and no cancellations are permitted after any Individual Seat has been purchased; and (ii) Individual Seats reserved by Users are non-changeable and non-refundable; unless the flight is cancelled by the Service Provider for any reason.
- Individual Seats
Service Providers may offer Individual Seats for sale on flights operated by the Service Provider, including on scheduled and non-scheduled flights and Shared Flights. Individual Seats will be offered only on flights that are otherwise confirmed to operate as listed on the Platform. Unless otherwise stated in the Service Provider Conditions, reservations for Individual Seats made by Users are non-changeable and non-refundable unless the flight is cancelled by the Service Provider in accordance with these provisions.
Individual Seats may also be offered by a Service Provider on Empty Leg Flights. All bookings of Empty Leg Flights are non-changeable and non-refundable unless stated otherwise by the Service Provider.
- Tours
Tours are flights offered by Service Providers for specific activities such as sightseeing tours, heli-picnic, heli-skiing, fishing, winery tours, skydiving and hot air balloon tours. Such flights may be offered either on an individual seat basis or on entire aircraft basis, and include specified activities in addition to air transportation, as specified in the listing.
- Payment - Processing Fee
- Cancellations
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS OF USE, THE CANCELLATION OF SERVICES AND REFUND OF SERVICE CHARGES (DEFINED BELOW) AND ALL OTHER APPLICABLE AMOUNTS IN RELATION THERETO, OTHER THAN THE PROCESSING FEE, IS GOVERNED SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY BY THE SERVICE PROVIDER CONDITIONS, AND IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THESE TERMS OF USE AND/OR OUR CANCELLATION POLICY AND SUCH SERVICE PROVIDER CONDITIONS, THE SERVICE PROVIDER CONDITIONS SHALL PREVAIL TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH CONFLICT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THESE TERMS OF USE AND APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS, THE APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS SHALL SUPERCEDE AND PREVAIL.
- Service Charges
“Service Charges” mean the aggregate amount paid by Users to purchase Services, inclusive of base fare, surcharges, third party charges, fees and taxes. However, Service Charges do not include the Processing Fee and applicable taxes thereon.
Involuntary Cancellation
Services may be cancelled by a Service Provider for reasons beyond the Service Provider’s reasonable control or due to factors that were not reasonably foreseeable by the Service Provider at the time the User made the Service Reservation. As such, an “Involuntary Cancellation” or force majeure event is defined as the actual, threatened, or reported occurrence of certain uncontrollable and/or unplanned events, including but not limited to inclement weather, conditions that make the safe operation of the aircraft or performance of the services impossible, unforeseen mechanical issues with the aircraft, airport operational issues, medical emergencies or regulatory restrictions. In the event of an Involuntary Cancellation, you will be promptly notified by Airble by electronic mail as soon as possible following receipt by Airble of such cancellation notification from the Service Provider.
In the event of an Involuntary Cancellation of Services by a Service Provider, Airble will refund the Service Charges to you unless: (i) the Service Provider offers to reschedule the departure date to another date that is within 30 days of the original departure date AND you accept such offer; or (ii) the Service Provider issues you a credit voucher in an amount equal to the Service Charges for future use, valid for up to a period of 12 months from the original date of departure (“Credit Voucher”).
In the event you decline the Service Provider’s offer for rescheduled Services, the Service Provider will provide you with a Credit Voucher.
Voluntary Cancellation
Services may be cancelled by a Service Provider for reasons within Service Provider’s reasonable control or due to factors that were reasonably foreseeable by the Service Provider at the time the User made the booking, such as but not limited to scheduled maintenance of the aircraft or unavailability of personnel (“Voluntary Cancellation”). In the event of a Voluntary Cancellation, you will be promptly notified by Airble by electronic mail as soon as possible following receipt by Airble of such cancellation notification from the Service Provider.
In the event of an Voluntary Cancellation of Services by a Service Provider, whether within or after 24 hours of making the reservation, Airble will refund the Service Charges to you unless: (i) the Service Provider offers to reschedule the departure date to another date that is within 30 days of the original departure date AND you accept such offer; or (ii) the Service Provider offers you a Credit Voucher AND you accept such Credit Voucher.
Cancellation by User
You may cancel a reservation or a booking request for a Service made through the Platform at any time prior to the scheduled departure of first flight on your itinerary. Any cancellation of your reservation or booking shall be governed exclusively by the Service Provider Conditions, and you may not be entitled to any refunds unless provided for under the Service Provider Conditions or pursuant to applicable laws and/or regulations.
If and to the extent the Service Provider Conditions permit refunds of Service Charges upon cancellation, Airble will refund the Service Charges to you, after deducting any cancellation fees or penalties levied by the Service Provider in accordance with the Service Provider Conditions.
If the itinerary includes multiple flight segments (such as a round trip that combines multiple destinations or Service Providers), the terms relating to cancellation will apply to each flight segment separately and it is the User’s responsibility to comply with these terms in respect of each such segment and submit a request for cancellation with the Service Provider operating the initial segment and each subsequent segment.
No Shows
In the event any passenger on a flight fails to present himself or herself at the Service Provider’s check-in counter at the prescribed time, or such other time as the Service Provider advises for a flight, or the first flight in a series of flight, that passenger will be considered a “no-show”. In the event of a no-show for a Private Flight, that flight and any subsequent flights that are part of the same reservation, shall be cancelled, and you will not be entitled to receive any refund of the Service Charges or any credit for the same. In the event a passenger is a no-show for a Shared Flight or a Tour, his or her individual reservation shall be cancelled, and he or she will not be entitled to any refunds or credits in respect of the Service Charges, unless otherwise provided for under the Service Provider Conditions.
Fraud or Illegal Purchase
Airble reserves the right to cancel any booking or reservation where Airble has reasonable grounds to suspect that the payment for such booking or reservation has been made fraudulently or illegally or without the authorization of the payor. Airble shall not be liable to you or any person claiming by or though you for any loss, damage or liability suffered or incurred by you or such other person as a result of such cancellation. In addition, Airble has the right to terminate your account and any other existing bookings or reservations made through your account in the event it is established that your account has been used to make a fraudulent purchase.
- Processing Fee
The Processing Fee is non-refundable in all circumstances save and except in the event of a cancellation of the Services by the Service Provider.
In the event of an Involuntary Cancellation of Services by a Service Provider, the Processing Fee shall be refunded to you unless (i) the Service Provider reschedules departure date to another date that is within 30 days of the original departure date AND you accept such rescheduling; or alternatively, (ii) the Service Provider provides you a refund of the Service Charges in the form of credit for future use.
In the event of a Voluntary Cancellation of Services by a Service Provider, the Processing Fee shall be refunded to you concurrently with a refund of the Service Charges unless (i) the Service Provider reschedules departure date to another date that is within 30 days of the original departure date AND you accept such rescheduling; or (ii) the Service Provider offers AND you accept a refund of the Services Charges in the form of credit for future use.
- Processing of Cash Refunds

Service Providers are solely and exclusively responsible for their listings of and advertisements for Services offered, and the for the performance, carrying out, operation and delivery of such Services. Airble is not and does not become party to and is not bound by or liable under any contract for the purchase and sale of Services entered into between a Service Provider and one or more Users.

You may use the Platform to search for and purchase Services offered by Service Providers. The provision of Services is governed by a contract of carriage, Tariffs and any additional terms and conditions required by the Service Provider (collectively, “Service Provider Conditions”), which will govern your booking and relationship with the Service Provider and delivery of the Services by or through the Service Provider. The applicable Service Provider Conditions will be displayed, or access to such Service Provider Conditions will be available on the booking interface when making a booking request or a reservation. By submitting a booking request or making a reservation, you acknowledge and agree that you have read, understood and agree to be legally bound by the applicable Service Provider Conditions.

Users must submit a booking request using the Platform, in which case the User is required to submit the required information and pre-authorize the payment of applicable fares, charges, fees and taxes at the time of submission.

These documents may include valid government issued photo identification and must be provided at the time of submitting a booking request or making a reservation. You may also be asked to produce those and other documents by the Service Provider prior to boarding your flight. Inability to produce such documents upon request by Airble or the Service Provider may result in a cancellation of the Service without any refund to you.
Prior to boarding, you may be required by law, by the Service Provider or any of the airport or governmental authority requirements, to submit to a security screening (as well as any health-related screening or requirement in respect of the COVID-19 pandemic). By booking through the Platform or by arranging a Flight, you agree that you and your possessions are subject to any such screening. This is a condition of boarding your flight. Your refusal to undergo any such required screening or your lack of compliance with screening procedures may result in your inability to board the aircraft, in which event your booking will be cancelled without refund to you.
You are required to pre-authorize payment of the Service Charges and the Processing Fee and any other applicable fees and charges for Services purchased through the Platform at the time of submitting a booking request. Before fee payment, you will have the opportunity to review and accept the charged Service Charges and the Processing Fee.

ALL CAUSES OF ACTION AGAINST AIRBLE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF THE PLATFORM SHALL EXPIRE UNLESS BROUGHT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DATE OF THE TRANSACTION THAT GAVE RISE TO SUCH CLAIM.

Airble is not responsible for any deficiencies in the Services you may receive from a Service Provider. You understand that by using the Platform, you may be exposed to activities that are potentially dangerous, harmful or unsafe and you use the Platform at your own risk.

What is Airble?
Airble is an online “marketplace” that works on behalf of its clients to facilitate reservations and purchase by customers of various commercial air services, including without limitation any related Tour operator services (“Services”), provided by aircraft operators and air carriers (“Service Providers”). Using the Platform, customers may purchase various Services, such as aerial sightseeing and air transportation of passenger and/or cargo, directly from duly certified and licenced Service Providers. Airble is an intermediary marketplace that does not act as an agent of the charterer nor an agent of the direct air carrier or foreign direct air carrier that performs flights and remains in operational control of aircraft.
Under applicable U.S. compliance regulations, Airble operates as an air charter broker, and is not an airline or a direct air carrier, foreign direct air carrier, or an aircraft operator, and is not affiliated with any air carriers, foreign air carriers, or air operators. Airble does not own or operate any aircraft and does not provide any air transportation services nor any Tour operator services. Airble does not hold an Air Service Provider Certificate issued by Transport Canada under Part VII of the Canadian Aviation Regulations nor a licence to provide domestic or international scheduled or non-scheduled services issued by the Canadian Transportation Agency under the Air Transportation Regulations, nor does it hold a certificate issued by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration nor a certificate, permit, or exemption to provide foreign air transportation issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation, or such other certificates or authorizations required by applicable aviation authorities. Airble is not a reseller or retailer of air transportation services. It does not act as a travel agent and is not registered as a travel agent in any jurisdiction.

Subject always to your continuing compliance with these Terms of Use, Airble grants to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to: (a) install and use one object code copy of any mobile application associated with the Platform obtained from a legitimate marketplace (such as Apple Store or Google Play) on a mobile device that you own or control; and (b) access the Platform for your personal use. You may not licence, trade, sell or otherwise transfer such object code or access right.
You may not: (a) reproduce, distribute, publicly display or publicly perform the Platform; (b) make modifications to the Platform; or (c) interfere with or circumvent any feature of the Platform, including the security or access control mechanism. You may not use the Platform if you are prohibited under applicable law from using the Platform.
You may use the Platform to search for and purchase Services offered by Service Providers. The provision of Services is governed by a contract of carriage, Tariffs and any additional terms and conditions required by the Service Provider (collectively, “Service Provider Conditions”), which will govern your booking and relationship with the Service Provider and delivery of the Services by or through the Service Provider. The applicable Service Provider Conditions will be displayed, or access to such Service Provider Conditions will be available on the booking interface when making a booking request or a reservation. By submitting a booking request or making a reservation, you acknowledge and agree that you have read, understood and agree to be legally bound by the applicable Service Provider Conditions. Airble is not a party to and has no control over the Service Provider Conditions.
Users must submit a booking request using the Platform, in which case the User is required to submit the required information and pre-authorize the payment of applicable fares, charges, fees and taxes at the time of submission. The flight is not confirmed until the booking request is accepted by the Service Provider, as notified by the Service Provider to Airble to the User. Upon acceptance of a request, the payment is released to the Service Provider.
Users may not resell, or transfer booked flights, or any other Services reserved or passenger or cargo capacity on any flights reserved through the Platform, subject to Airble’s Cancellation Policy and/or Service Provider Conditions.
As consideration for the use of the Platform and for processing payments collected from Users by Airble and processed through third party payment platforms, you will be charged a processing fee by Airble (“Processing Fee”) when you submit a booking request, calculated as a percentage of the Service Charges (defined below) as determined by Airble from time to time. This Processing Fee will be included in the total payment you make for the Services and will be retained by Airble. The Processing Fee is non-refundable, save and except in situations where the Service Provider cancels a flight or flights due to a Voluntary or an Involuntary Cancellation (see (ii) below). In case of Shared Flights, upon the sale of any Individual Seats on such flight, the Primary User is not entitled to a refund of the whole or part of the Processing Fee and applicable taxes thereon paid by the Primary User.
The Processing Fee applicable to any booking or reservation will be displayed as a separate amount when a User makes a booking or a reservation on the Platform.
Production of certain documents may be required in order to complete a booking request or a reservation or commence travel. These documents may include valid government issued photo identification and must be provided at the time of submitting a booking request or making a reservation. You may also be asked to produce those and other documents by the Service Provider prior to boarding your flight. Inability to produce such documents upon request by Airble or the Service Provider may result in a cancellation of the Service without any refund to you.
Prior to boarding, you may be required by law, by the Service Provider or any of the airport or governmental authority requirements, to submit to a security screening (as well as any health-related screening or requirement in respect of the COVID-19 pandemic). By booking through the Platform or by arranging a Flight, you agree that you and your possessions are subject to any such screening. This is a condition of boarding your flight. Your refusal to undergo any such required screening or your lack of compliance with screening procedures may result in your inability to board the aircraft, in which event your booking will be cancelled without refund to you.
You are required to pre-authorize payment of the Service Charges and the Processing Fee and any other applicable fees and charges for Services purchased through the Platform at the time of submitting a booking request. Before fee payment, you will have the opportunity to review and accept the charged Service Charges and the Processing Fee. Service Charges and the Processing Fee for Services originating in Canada are payable in Canadian Dollars, and in respect of Services originating in another jurisdiction, in United States dollars, or the local currency of such jurisdiction as displayed on the Platform. You authorize Airble to charge Service Charges and the Processing Fee towards the payment method you specify at time of purchase. For payment of Service Charges and the Processing Fee using a credit card, we may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account before purchase.
YOU AGREE NOT TO:

Airble may terminate or suspend your account with Airble at any time, for any reason and without notice. Airble holds the right to modify or discontinue the Platform at any time. No liability will be held by Airble in regard to modifications of the Platform or any suspensions or terminations of Users’ accounts.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER WORDING IN THESE TERMS OF USE OR IN ANY OTHER AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN AIRBLE AND YOU, IN THE EVENT THAT AIRBLE IS OR MAY BE REQUIRED TO PAY ANY DAMAGES OR COSTS FOR ANY REASON UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE BY THE USER OF THE PLATFORM OR THE SERVICES, THEN AIRBLE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE PROCESSING FEE ACTUALLY PAID BY USER TO AIRBLE DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE TRANSACTION THAT GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES OR COSTS. ALL CAUSES OF ACTION AGAINST AIRBLE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF THE PLATFORM SHALL EXPIRE UNLESS BROUGHT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DATE OF THE TRANSACTION THAT GAVE RISE TO SUCH CLAIM.
The quality of the Services is the responsibility of the Service Provider that provides the Services to you, and is governed by the Service Provider Conditions, including without limitation, the contract of carriage entered into between you and a Service Provider. Airble is not responsible for any deficiencies in the Services you may receive from a Service Provider. You understand that by using the Platform, you may be exposed to activities that are potentially dangerous, harmful or unsafe and you use the Platform at your own risk.
Airble makes reasonable efforts to ensure (but does not warrant nor guarantee) that all Service Providers that list their Services on the Platform are duly certified and licenced to operate such Services. Service Providers listing Services on the Platform are required to meet safety standards prescribed by and hold an air operator certificate issued by Transport Canada under Part VII of the Canadian Aviation Regulations, or applicable aviation authorities in other jurisdictions. In addition, Service Providers providing air transportation services are also required to hold a licence issued by the Canadian Transportation Agency under the Canada Transportation Act, or similar authorizations issued by applicable aviation authorities in other jurisdictions, and Tour operators may be required to hold other licences, permits or authorizations. However, it is the individual Service Provider’s responsibility to ensure that any flights and Tours operated by or through it comply with the requirements of all applicable laws and Airble does not assume any responsibility or obligation to monitor or verify compliance by a Service Provider with any applicable laws and regulatory requirements, or for the assessment of the suitability, legality or skill of any Service Provider, including in respect of Tours operated by or through it.
Users may request a copy of a Service Provider’s air operator certificate, the certificate of airworthiness of a particular aircraft and/or the Service Provider’s licence or any Tour operator authorization directly from the Service Provider.
Airble will not be responsible for any liabilities, claims, damages or costs suffered or incurred by a User or any other person directly or indirectly as a result of a failure by or through a Service Provider to: (a) maintain current any certificates and licences required to be held by or through such Service Provider in order to provide the Services, or (b) comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
Airble will not be a party to disputes or negotiations between you and a Service Provider. By accepting these Terms of Use, you release Airble from any and all claims, demands and damages, actual and consequential, arising from or related to any disputes between you and a Service Provider.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you release, indemnify and hold harmless Airble, its affiliates and subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, consultants, advisors and agents (each an “Indemnitee”) from and against any actions, causes of action, claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, accounting fees and legal fees on a solicitor and own client basis) made against, suffered, incurred or paid by an Indemnitee that is directly or indirectly related to or arises out of: (i) your breach of, or failure to observe and comply with these Terms of Use; (ii) your breach of, or failure to observe and comply with any Service Provider Conditions; (iii) your improper access to or improper use of the Platform or any Services; (iv) your reservation or request for booking of any Services; (v) your or your guests’ violations of or non-compliance with applicable laws or an order or direction issued by a lawful authority during your use of the Services; or (vi) your purchase and use of the Services, your interaction with or through any Service Provider or any loss, liability, deficiency, damage or injury to property incurred by or bodily injury to or death of any person arising out of or related to your use of the Services. This indemnity survives the termination of your relationship with Airble.
Airble reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter that is subject to the indemnification set forth above.
Airble may provide tools on the Platform enabling the exporting of information to operators or other third parties in relation to the provision of Services, including features that link your account on the Platform to Service Providers, or implementation of third-party buttons.

Airble has no control over a Service Provider’s or such third party’s use of your information, including private or confidential information.

These are provided for your convenience only, and Airble is not responsible for and does not endorse any such websites or resources or the contents thereof. Airble assumes no responsibility or liability for the availability, accuracy or content of such third-party websites or resources. The access and use of such third-party websites or resources may be subject to terms and conditions or privacy policies that are different from these Terms of Use and Airble’s Privacy Policy.

These Terms of Use and all matters and disputes arising hereunder or related hereto are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of New York, applicable therein without regard to its conflict of law principles, the application of which would result in the laws of another jurisdiction applying to these Terms of Use or any dispute or matter arising hereunder or related hereto. Despite the mandatory arbitration clause in Section 21 of this Agreement, if a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these Terms of Use, then you and Airble agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts of New York, New York for the purpose of litigating any dispute.
Airble will not be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations under these Terms of Use, to the extent its performance is delayed or prevented due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, terrorist acts, war or other hostilities, labour disputes, civil disturbances, the actions or omissions of third-parties (including, without limitation, Service Providers), electrical or communication system failures or government action.

Use of “section headers” in these terms is for readability only and does not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. If any part of these Terms of Use is held as invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible while the remaining parts remain in full effect.
Sections 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 21 of these Terms of Use as well as the Privacy Policy and the Cancellation Policy shall survive the termination of your relationship with Airble.
You and Airble agree that all disputes arising in connection with your access and use of the Platform, or arising out of these Terms of Use, will be resolved by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA to the extent that such Rules do not conflict with the terms of this Agreement. The Arbitrator’s decision (which shall be rendered in writing) shall be final, non-appealable (except as stated in the Federal Arbitration Act) and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction; provided that the parties agree that the Arbitrator and any court enforcing the award of the Arbitrator shall not have the right or authority to award punitive or exemplary damages to any party. The responsibility for paying the costs and expenses of the arbitration, including compensation to the Arbitrator shall be allocated to one party or both parties in a manner determined by the Arbitrator to be fair and reasonable under the circumstances. Each party shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of its respective counsel, consultants and witnesses, unless the Arbitrator determines that compelling reasons exist for allocating all or a portion of such costs and expenses to one or more other Parties.
This agreement to arbitrate disputes include all claims related to or arising from these Terms of Use, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and irrespective of whether the claim arises during or after the termination of your relationship with Airble.
You understand and agree, by accepting these Terms of Use, that you and Airble are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
These terms do not waive or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action to small claims court; (b) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (c) file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
A party who seeks arbitration (“Notice of Arbitration”) must first send written notice of the dispute to the other party, by registered Canadian Mail or by courier delivery.
Airble’s address for arbitration is 303-5360 Airport Rd South, Richmond, BC, V7B 1B4, Canada.
The notice of arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) state the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make efforts in good faith to resolve the claim directly and amicably. If that is not successful within 30 days of receiving the Notice of Arbitration, you and/or Airble may proceed with arbitration.
All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless both parties agree otherwise in writing.
You agree that you may bring claims against Airble only in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. You further agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

Please read our Privacy Policy to learn more about our communications practices.
