TERMS and CONDITIONS
In these Terms and Conditions, “AerSource” shall mean any entity of AerSource International Ltd.
1. Network
AerSource maintains one or more websites or webpages and mobile apps (the “Network”) forming an air charter services brokerage market for the users of air charter services (the “Charterers”). The Network may aggregate quotes for air charter services provided by third-party aircraft operators (the “Operators”).
These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of the Network. You, as Charterer, agree to use the Network only in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. You may access and use the Network only in order to make legitimate requests to book, through AerSource, services offered by the Operators (the “Requests”).
AerSource may at any time amend these Terms and Conditions. Your continued use of the Network will be governed by the Terms and Conditions in force at the time of such use.
2. Role of AerSource
AerSource is an air charter broker and only acts as an intermediary between the Operators and the Charterers. AerSource arranges carriage by air by chartering aircraft from the Operators, acting as agent, in the name and on behalf of the Charterers.
AerSource does not itself operate, maintain, own or charter aircraft, is not a contracting, actual, direct or indirect carrier and does not provide air transportation services.
There is no carriage or charter agreement between AerSource and the Charterers and/or the passengers. AerSource is not itself a party to the carriage or charter agreements between the Operators and the Charterers (represented by AerSource) (the “Carriage Agreements”) and shall not bear any obligation or liability in relation thereto (in particular for any injury, damage, death, loss, accident or delay due to any action or omission of the Operators or any other third parties or occurring out of or in connection with the Carriage Agreements and/or the flights (or any related services), whether incurred by the Charterers or by the passengers).
These Terms and Conditions are not a contract for air transportation and no such contract is or will be entered into between you and AerSource.
To the extent US regulations 14 CFR Part 295 apply to the services offered by AerSource on the Network, AerSource hereby informs the Charterers that:
(i) AerSource is an air charter broker acting as bona fide agent, in the name and on behalf of the Charterers;
(ii) AerSource is not a direct US air carrier or a direct foreign air carrier in operational control of aircraft; and
(iii) the air services advertised on the Network shall be provided by properly licensed direct US air carriers or direct foreign air carriers.
3. Booking of Services
The booking of any air charter services (and any related services) through AerSource will in any case be in particular subject to, and governed by, an Aircraft Charter Brokerage Contract to be entered into between you and AerSource (an “Aircraft Charter Brokerage Contract”).
Nothing in the Network shall in any case be construed as an offer to contract. Similarly, neither a Request nor any proposal sent by AerSource further to a Request shall be considered as an offer to contract.
AerSource shall be entitled in its sole discretion to refuse to provide its services to any person or entity.
4. Use of the Network
You represent and warrant that you are of sufficient legal age and capacity to enter into legally binding agreements, including these Terms and Conditions, any Aircraft Charter Brokerage Contract and any Carriage Agreement (which may be entered into between you, represented by AerSource, and any Operator).

Your Requests shall not be speculative, false or fraudulent.

Please note that fraudulent Users will be prosecuted and may face civil and criminal liability, depending on applicable law.
