1. Parties and Effective Date

This Client Agreement ("Agreement") is between Droners.io, Inc. ("Droners.io") 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

Droners.io 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"). Droners.io 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, Droners.io 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 Droners.io 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").

Droners.io 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 Droners.io

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. Droners.io shall not be a party to any agreement between you and another User. You understand and agree that Droners.io 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) Droners.io is not a party to any Job Agreements between Users; (iii) no User, including you, is an employee, agent, or representative of Droners.io; (iv) Droners.io is not an employee, agent, or representative of any User, including you; (v) Droners.io does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control any User's work; (vi) Droners.io shall not have any liability or obligations under or related to Job Agreements or for any acts or omissions by any User; (vii) Droners.io has no control over Users; and (viii) Droners.io 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.

6. General Client Performance

Droners.io 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 Droners.io'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. Droners.io 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 Droners.io, 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, Droners.io, or any third party anywhere within the Site. User may be held legally responsible for damages suffered by other Users, Droners.io 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 Droners.io 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. Droners.io is not responsible for and does not monitor or censor content for accuracy. Droners.io 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 Droners.io 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. Droners.io may validate Client information at any time. Client shall reasonably cooperate with any such verification efforts, including but not limited to providing to Droners.io 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 Droners.io to run credit card authorizations on any credit cards provided by Client. Client may terminate Droners.io 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 Droners.io 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 Droners.io 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 Droners.io 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 Droners.io (an "Approved Payment Mechanism"). Client shall immediately notify Droners.io 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 Droners.io-approved third-party payment processor ("Payment Processor"), Droners.io 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 Droners.io provides a User with the ability to access or use a Payment Processor's services through the Site: (a) Droners.io does not oversee or control the receipt or transfer of payments; (b) Droners.io 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 Droners.io or the Payment Processor deducting from any payment made by Client, and paying to Droners.io, amounts that are due from Client to Droners.io, 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 Droners.io 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.

Droners.io 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, Droners.io may, at its sole discretion, choose to offer Pilots discounts on the Service Fee or a credit towards the Service Fee. Unless Droners.io 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 Droners.io and fails to pay such amounts when due, Client shall be responsible to Droners.io 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, Droners.io 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 Droners.io when due, Client consents to (a) Droners.io directing any Payment Processor to withhold payments, or any portion thereof, otherwise due to Client, and to pay withheld amounts to Droners.io to setoff, in whole or in part, amounts owed to Droners.io; (b) Payment Processor complying with such direction; and (c) Droners.io or Payment Processor charging any Client credit cards, bank accounts, or other payment methods or sources available to Droners.io 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 Droners.io be responsible or liable for, and Client releases Droners.io and holds Droners.io 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, Droners.io, 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.

Droners.io 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.

Droners.io 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 Droners.io and its predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, officers, directors, employees subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, attorneys, contractors, and suppliers (together, the "Droners.io 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 Droners.io 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.

1. Parties and Effective Date

This Pilot Agreement ("Agreement") is between Droners.io, Inc. ("Droners.io") and you as a potential provider of services who is subscribing to or otherwise using the Droners.io site and services ("Pilot" or "you"), whether or not you actually make or sell any goods or services in connection with your use of the Droners.io site or services, which is an application or portal wholly owned by Droners.io. 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 "Pilot Terms and Conditions").

This version of the 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

Droners.io created an online marketplace to connect pilots of unmanned aerial vehicles (also known as a UAV) with users or clients who wish to purchase your services ("Clients" and, together with you and other pilots, "Users"). On and through the Site, Clients may post open requests to invite bids or proposals from pilots for custom services ("Job Requests"). You may post information about your skills and past projects in your profile and submit bids or proposals in response to Job Requests ("Job Proposals"). Once a bid or proposal is accepted, Clients and you can communicate with each other to form an agreement whereby you will create and deliver a service (a "Job") to the Client (a "Job Agreement"). Droners.io via its Droners.io site makes no guarantee, representation, or assurance that a Job Agreement will be legally enforceable if challenged.

Prior to your entering into a given Job Agreement, Droners.io 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 "Pilot," "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 Droners.io or the Site as a Client or potential Client, as long as you open a separate account designated for Clients or potential Clients and agree to the terms of the separate agreement applicable to Clients (the "Client Agreement").

4. Role of Droners.io

You agree that by making a Job Proposal to another User of the Site, you are agreeing and intending to enter into a binding legal agreement with that User if and when that User accepts your proposal. That binding agreement shall be between only you and that other User. Droners.io shall not be a party to any agreement between you and another User. You understand and agree that Droners.io does not deliver any goods or provide services for or on behalf of you, 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.

Pilot acknowledges, agrees and understands that: (i) the Site is merely a venue for introducing and facilitating agreements between Users; (ii) Droners.io is not a party to any Job Agreements between Users; (iii) no User, including you, is an employee, agent, or representative of Droners.io; (iv) Droners.io is not an employee, agent, or representative of any User, including you; (v) Droners.io does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control any User's work; (vi) Droners.io shall not have any liability or obligations under or related to Job Agreements or for any acts or omissions by any User; (vii) Droners.io has no control over Users; and (viii) Droners.io 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. Droners.io requires that every active pilot on the site show proof of obtaining Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate upon joining the site. In addition, pilots must maintain and keep their pilot certifications active in order to bid on jobs.

5. Limited License and Restrictions on Use

All content included in the Site, including but not limited to text, graphics, video, interfaces, logos, button icons, images, data compilations, software, and the compilation thereof is the property of Droners.io or its content and software suppliers and is protected by United States and international laws. Unauthorized use of such intellectual property or information, or the Site, is prohibited. Except as expressly provided herein, Droners.io does not grant any express or implied right or license of any kind to you concerning any patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or other intellectual property rights.

Droners.io grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to view, store, bookmark, download and print the pages within the Site solely for your personal, informational, and noncommercial (except in your capacity as a Pilot transacting business with other Users within the purpose of the Site specified by Section 2 of this Agreement) use. Individual pages and sections of the Site may be printed for personal or internal use only, provided that such print outs retain all applicable copyright or other proprietary notices. Droners.io reserves all rights not expressly granted in this Agreement.

6. General Pilot Performance

Droners.io 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 Droners.io's sole discretion.

Pilot agrees to accurately represent the services that Pilot offers for sale on the Site, including but not limited to the Pilot's capabilities. When Pilot lists a service, or makes a proposal to another User, on the Site that results in a Job Agreement, Pilot agrees and intends that by doing so, Pilot is entering into a binding agreement directly with that User, which Pilot will honor. Droners.io is not a party to any Job Agreement or other agreements between or among Users. Pilot agrees that Pilot, not Droners.io, will be the merchant of record for all transactions through the Site.

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

Pilot will deliver in accordance with the Job Agreement the Job purchased by another User unless that User fails to meet the terms of the Job Agreement.

Pilot shall not enter into any Job Agreement to provide services that require licenses that the Pilot has not obtained, as required by applicable laws or regulations to which they may be subject in the jurisdiction(s) in which they offer their services.

Pilot shall consistently provide service that results in a high level of Client satisfaction. This includes, but is not limited to, adhering to Job Agreements, as well as informal common-sense obligations to provide good service to Users; providing goods and services in a competent manner, of commercially reasonable quality, and in accordance with Pilot's representations or promises concerning Pilot's skills and abilities; communicating in a professional and timely manner with Droners.io; and providing reasonable cooperation with Droners.io's efforts to ensure positive User experiences and customer satisfaction.

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

Pilot 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 of this Agreement; an impersonation of another; or personal information of another, including but not limited to personal phone numbers, account numbers, personal addresses, or employer references.

Pilot agrees that Droners.io 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. Droners.io is not responsible for and does not monitor or censor content for accuracy. Droners.io 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 Droners.io considers such information or content to be inappropriate, or for any other reason, in its sole discretion.

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

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

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

7. Communication with Users

All written communications relating to Jobs, transactions, or potential transactions between Pilot 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.

Pilot shall immediately notify Droners.io if another User communicates in writing with Pilot other than through the Site.

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

8. Submitting a Job Proposal to a Consumer

Pilot may submit a Job Proposal in response to a Job Request. All information provided in a Job Proposal must be true, accurate and complete. Pilot shall submit a Job Proposal for only Jobs that Pilot is competent and able to perform. Droners.io reserves the right to (but in no event shall have the obligation to) verify any and all information provided on a Pilot's profile, Job Proposal, or Job Agreement. By tendering a Job Proposal to a user, Pilot is attesting that Pilot has the skills, required license(s) if applicable and ability to perform the requested services by the deadline provided by the Job Agreement. Pilot will not submit Job Proposals for 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 Pilot's conducting outside of the Site or through any channels other than those provided or specified by Droners.io any transaction with another User to whom Pilot was introduced through or as a result of Pilot's use of the Site. Pilot shall not engage in Disintermediation or request that another User engage in Disintermediation.

Pilot shall immediately notify Droners.io if another User requests that Pilot engage in Disintermediation.

10. Payments

Pilot agrees that for all Jobs for which Pilot is entitled to payment from another User, all payments are to be made and accepted only through a payment mechanism provided or approved by Droners.io (an "Approved Payment Mechanism"). Pilot agrees to accept payments through any Approved Payment Mechanism, without discriminating among Approved Payment Mechanisms, and shall not accept payments from another User through any means other than an Approved Payment Mechanism. Pilot shall immediately notify Droners.io if another User requests that Pilot accept a payment by any method other than an Approved Payment Mechanism.

Pilot shall, at Pilot's own expense, take all steps necessary to enable Pilot to accept payments through all Approved Payment Mechanisms, 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 Droners.io-approved third-party payment processor ("Payment Processor"), Droners.io may make available, for the convenience of Users, the ability to communicate with and make payments using the Payment Processor through Site. Pilot 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 Droneers.io provides a User with the ability to access or use a Payment Processor's services through the Site: (a) Droners.io does not oversee or control the receipt or transfer of payments; (b) Droners.io 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) Pilot shall comply with all terms and conditions imposed by any Payment Processor; (d) Pilot shall be responsible for and shall pay any fees charged to Pilot by a Payment Processor, credit card network, bank, or other financial institution, or otherwise imposed on Pilot as a result of payments made or received through an Approved Payment Mechanism; and (e) Pilot consents to Droners.io or the Payment Processor deducting from any payment received for Pilot, and paying to Droners.io, amounts that are due from Pilot to Droners.io, 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

Pilot will pay Droners.io a transaction-based fee for Droners.io's services and technology provided through the Site and otherwise (the "Service Fee"). For each Job Agreement, the Service Fee shall be equal to 10% of the total price that Pilot bills to the User with whom Pilot enters into the Job Agreement, excluding taxes and shipping or delivery costs. Pilot shall include in taxes only sales, use, or similar transaction-specific taxes that Pilot is required to collect and pay by virtue of the Job. Pilot shall include in shipping or delivery costs only Pilot's actual out-of-pocket costs for shipping and delivery.

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

Pilot is solely responsible for paying all Service Fees and for collecting, reporting, and paying any applicable taxes in a timely manner.

Droners.io shall have the right to collect the Droners.io Service Fee directly from the funds provided by the paying Client through an Approved Payment Mechanism.

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

Pilot authorizes Droners.io to run credit card or other payment method authorizations on any credit cards, bank accounts, or other payment methods provided by Pilot; to store credit card, bank account, or other payment method details as Pilot's method of payment for the Service Fee; and to charge Pilot's credit card, bank account, or other payment method as payment for the Service Fee.

12. Failure to Pay

If Pilot fails to pay any amounts due under this Agreement, whether by canceling Pilot's credit card, initiating a chargeback, or any other means, Pilot shall be responsible to Droners.io 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, Droners.io may setoff amounts due from Pilot against amounts received from or held for Pilot 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 Pilot fails to make any payment to Droners.io when due, Pilot consents to (a) Droners.io directing any Payment Processor to withhold payments, or any portion thereof, otherwise due to Pilot, and to pay withheld amounts to Droners.io to setoff, in whole or in part, amounts owed to Droners.io; (b) Payment Processor complying with such direction; and (c) Droners.io or Payment Processor charging any Pilot credit cards, bank accounts, or other payment methods or sources available to Droners.io amounts due from Pilot.

13. Failure to Deliver Jobs

It shall be a breach of this Agreement for Pilot to fail to deliver Jobs in a timely manner, as described in the Job Agreement, or otherwise in accordance with the Job Agreement. Upon such a failure, and without limiting any other available remedies, Droners.io may, in its sole discretion, but in no event shall Droners.io be obligated to, reimburse Clients for amounts paid to Pilot (a "Droners.io Reimbursement"). In the event of a Droners.io Reimbursement, Pilot agrees that it shall pay to Droners.io, immediately upon demand, the amount of the Droners.io Reimbursement, plus the Job Fee, any applicable processing fees, charges or penalties, interest at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum allowed by law, attorneys' fees and other costs of collection as allowed by law.

14. Feedback and Reputation Management

Droners.io provides its feedback and reputation management system as a service to Pilot 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.

Pilot acknowledges and agrees that the Site may contain publicly available comments and feedback about Pilot from other Users with whom Pilot has transacted or interacted through and in connection with the Site. Pilot acknowledges that feedback results for Pilot may consist of comments and ratings left by other Users that are or that Pilot perceives as negative. Pilot 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. Pilot acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall Droners.io be responsible or liable for, and Pilot releases Droners.io and holds Droners.io harmless from, any claims that Pilot might have as a result of any other User's comments or feedback about Pilot, 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.

Pilot understands and agrees that Pilot may be held legally responsible to other Users, Droners.io, or third parties as a result of comments or feedback that Pilot 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 Pilot 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 Pilot has interacted, whether or not that feedback is negative.

Droners.io 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.

Droners.io 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 Pilot and Pilot's portfolios rank and are listed in response to User searches, and which Job Requests Pilot is able to view or respond to.

15. Release

Pilot agrees that by entering into this Agreement, Pilot, for Pilot and Pilot's predecessors, successors, and assigns (together, the "Pilot Releasors"), releases and forever discharges Droners.io and its predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, attorneys, contractors, and suppliers (together, the "Droners.io 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 Pilot Releasors has, may have, has asserted, or could have asserted, of any nature and relating to any subject, excluding the right of Pilot to enforce this Agreement according to its terms.

In addition, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pilot, for the Pilot Releasors, specifically releases and forever discharges the Droners.io 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 Pilot Releasors has, may have, has asserted, or could have asserted, of any nature arising out of or in any way connected with any disputes Pilot may have with any other User of the Site.

In addition, Pilot agrees that each time it logs into or uses the Site, Pilot thereby reaffirms and restates the releases in the previous two paragraphs, such that Pilot is, upon each log in or use, on behalf of the Pilot Releasors, releasing and forever discharging the Droners.io Releasees from and against all actions, causes of action, claims, suits, debts, damages, judgments, liabilities, rights, contracts, obligations, and demands, whether known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, that any of the Pilot Releasors has, may have, has asserted, or could have asserted, of any nature and relating to any subject, through the date of such log in or use, excluding the right of Pilot to enforce this Agreement according to its terms.

16. Pilot Conduct and Content

Pilot will not: (i) post false, inaccurate, misleading, obscene, or defamatory content; (ii) falsely state or otherwise misrepresent Pilot's affiliation with any person or entity, including but not limited to the use of similar email addresses or names, or the creation of false account(s); (iii) infringe upon or misappropriate any person's or entity's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary or intellectual property rights or rights of publicity or privacy; (iv) transmit any code that may damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information; (v) modify, adapt or hack the Site or falsely imply that any other website is associated with Droners.io; or (vi) purport to create any liability for Droners.io to any third party or cause Droners.io to lose (in whole or in part) the services of Droners.io's ISPs or other suppliers.

17. License to Droners.io

Droners.io does not claim any ownership rights in Pilot's Content. When Pilot posts Content to the Site, Pilot grants Droners.io 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 Pilot has in the Content, in any media known now or in the future. Pilot agrees to allow Droners.io to store or re-format the Content on the Site and display the Content in any way Droners.io chooses in its sole discretion.
