Terms of Service

Effective Date: June 20, 2026  ·  Above View Drones LLC

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using any services provided by Above View Drones. By submitting a quote request, accepting a quote, scheduling services, or otherwise engaging with Above View Drones, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our services.

1. Services Provided

Above View Drones ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") provides professional drone services including but not limited to aerial photography and videography, orthomosaic mapping, thermal imaging, roof and solar inspections, agricultural support, construction progress documentation, real estate media, and wildlife or livestock search and location services.

All services are performed in the state of Oklahoma and surrounding areas, subject to geographic availability and applicable FAA regulations. Service availability is not guaranteed for all locations.

2. Quotes, Estimates & Pricing

All quotes and estimates provided by Above View Drones are non-binding until confirmed in writing by both parties. Final pricing may vary from initial estimates based on actual project scope, acreage, terrain, travel requirements, deliverable specifications, or safety conditions discovered on site.

Quotes are typically valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to adjust pricing if project conditions materially change from the original request.

By formally accepting a quote, you authorize Above View Drones to proceed with the agreed scope of work at the stated price.

3. Scheduling & Cancellations

Flight operations are subject to weather conditions, wind speeds, visibility, FAA airspace authorizations, and on-site safety assessments. Above View Drones reserves the right to reschedule or cancel any flight operation if conditions are deemed unsafe or non-compliant with FAA regulations, without penalty to the Company.

Client cancellations made less than 48 hours before a scheduled service may be subject to a cancellation fee of up to 25% of the quoted price. Cancellations made with more than 48 hours' notice will not incur a cancellation fee unless materials or travel expenses have already been incurred.

Deposits paid are non-refundable if the client cancels with less than 48 hours' notice.

4. Client Responsibilities

The client is solely responsible for:

  • Confirming legal permission and property owner consent to conduct drone operations over the requested area.
  • Providing accurate and complete information about the project site, including known hazards, airspace restrictions, and access conditions.
  • Ensuring safe and legal access to the project site on the scheduled service date.
  • Complying with any applicable local ordinances, HOA rules, or other restrictions related to drone operations at the requested location.
  • Notifying Above View Drones of any known wildlife, livestock, people, or sensitive features on or near the site prior to the scheduled flight.

Above View Drones is not liable for delays or service failures caused by inaccurate information provided by the client.

5. FAA Compliance

All drone operations conducted by Above View Drones are performed by FAA Part 107 certified pilots and comply with applicable Federal Aviation Administration regulations. We operate only in accordance with current airspace authorizations, including LAANC where required.

Clients may not request or direct the pilot to perform any flight operations that would violate FAA regulations, including but not limited to operations over restricted airspace, operations beyond visual line of sight without proper authorization, or flights in unsafe weather conditions.

6. Deliverables & Intellectual Property

Upon receipt of full payment, Above View Drones grants the client a non-exclusive license to use the delivered aerial imagery, video, maps, and data for their stated personal or commercial purposes.

Above View Drones retains full copyright and intellectual property rights to all raw footage, source files, and processed data. We reserve the right to use anonymized or non-sensitive project imagery for portfolio, marketing, and promotional purposes unless the client requests otherwise in writing prior to the project.

Deliverables will be provided in the format and via the delivery method agreed upon at the time of quoting. Additional format conversions or re-deliveries may incur additional fees.

7. Payment Terms

Payment is due in accordance with the invoice terms provided. A deposit may be required prior to scheduling, as indicated in the quote. Remaining balances are due upon delivery of final deliverables unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Accepted payment methods include cash, check, ACH/bank transfer, Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, Zelle, and credit/debit card. Specific methods available may vary per project.

Overdue invoices may accrue a late fee of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance after 30 days past the due date. Above View Drones reserves the right to withhold delivery of final files until payment is received in full.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Above View Drones shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of our services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability for any claim arising from services rendered shall not exceed the total amount paid by the client for the specific project giving rise to the claim.

Above View Drones carries commercial general liability insurance and drone-specific liability coverage. Certificates of insurance are available upon written request.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Above View Drones, its officers, employees, and contractors from and against any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your misrepresentation of property ownership or access permissions; (b) your violation of any applicable laws or regulations; or (c) inaccurate or incomplete information provided to us in connection with your project.

10. Force Majeure
