These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the use of services provided by The Florida Drone Company LLC ("TFDC," "we," "us"). By booking, purchasing, or receiving any service from TFDC you agree to these Terms.

Important mapping and analytics notice
The Florida Drone Company does not provide certified land surveying services. All data and mapping products delivered are for visual reference and operational planning only and are not suitable for property boundary determination.

1) Services and Scope

We provide aerial data capture and media services, including photography, videography, visual inspections, orthomosaic mapping, 3D models, volume estimates, NDVI plant-health visuals, and related post‑production. Unless expressly stated otherwise in a written statement of work, services are operational‑grade visuals for planning and documentation and not survey‑certified measurements.

2) Scheduling, Weather, and Airspace

  • Flight dates are tentative and may change due to weather, safety, airspace, site access, or regulatory approvals.

  • We operate under FAA Part 107 and applicable authorizations. If an authorization or permission cannot be obtained for reasons outside your control, any prepaid service fees for the affected flight will be refunded or credited.

3) Client Responsibilities

  • Provide safe access, escort if required, and any site‑specific safety briefings.

  • Confirm that filming/flight at the property is permitted and that all third‑party property and privacy permissions are secured when you are the party responsible.

  • Identify hazards (e.g., power lines, cranes, RF emitters) and any no‑fly or privacy‑sensitive areas prior to flight.

4) Safety and Regulatory Compliance

  • Pilot in command may decline or stop a flight at any time for safety, regulatory, or privacy reasons without penalty to TFDC.

  • We comply with all FAA regulations, temporary flight restrictions, and local rules, including controlled airspace approvals when required.

5) Deliverables and Turnaround

  • Typical delivery: media and visual‑mapping files within 5 business days after flight unless otherwise specified.

  • Delivery method: secure download link or hosted viewer. Raw files are provided only when purchased or agreed in writing.

  • For mapping/analytics, deliverables may include orthomosaics, DSMs, point clouds, reports, and screenshots for visual reference.

6) Revisions, Reshoots, and Changes

  • One round of basic color or edit tweaks is included for media packages unless the scope states otherwise.

  • Reshoots due to weather, safety, or regulatory holds will be rescheduled at no charge. Reshoots for client‑directed creative changes or site readiness issues may incur additional fees.

7) Cancellations and Rescheduling

  • 24 hours’ notice: reschedule once at no charge.

  • Less than 24 hours or on‑site cancellation due to site inaccessibility or lack of required permissions: a call‑out fee up to 50% of the quoted day rate may apply.

8) Fees and Payment

  • Quotes typically include pilot time, flight operations, equipment, basic post‑production, and standard delivery.

  • Additional charges may include extended travel, specialized sensors, rush delivery, advanced editing, extensive GCP setup, or engineering‑grade visuals.

  • Unless otherwise stated, payment is due before delivery. Late balances may accrue a finance charge as permitted by Florida law.

9) Intellectual Property and License to Client

  • Unless otherwise agreed, TFDC retains ownership of all images, video, data, maps, and derivative works.

  • Upon full payment, you receive a non‑exclusive, non‑transferable license to use the delivered works for your internal business purposes, marketing, and project documentation for the project and territories specified in your order.

  • Prohibited uses include claiming authorship, resale or relicensing to unrelated third parties, or any use that violates law or third‑party rights.

  • TFDC may showcase non‑confidential work samples for portfolio and marketing unless you opt out in writing prior to delivery.

10) Privacy and Confidentiality

We treat non‑public project information as confidential and use it only to perform the services. Please advise us in writing if a location is sensitive or restricted from public disclosure so we can adjust portfolio usage.

11) Warranty Disclaimer

We perform services with reasonable skill and care. Except as expressly stated, services and deliverables are provided as is without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non‑infringement.

12) Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TFDC’s total liability for any claim arising out of the services is limited to the amount you paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including lost profits or business interruption.

13) Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold TFDC harmless from claims arising out of your misuse of deliverables, violation of law, or failure to obtain necessary permissions for sites or properties you control.

14) Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond reasonable control, including weather, government actions, airspace closures, or network outages.

15) Data Retention

Project files may be archived for up to 90 days after delivery. Long‑term hosting or re‑delivery may incur a retrieval or hosting fee.

16) Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Exclusive venue lies in the state or federal courts located in Broward County, Florida.
