TERMS OF SERVICE
Approved Jets
Effective Date: February 28, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Client," "you," or "your") and Approved Jets, a private aviation charter brokerage incorporated in the State of Delaware ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms govern your access to and use of our website at approved-jets.com (the "Site") and all related charter brokerage services, communications, and transactions (collectively, the "Services").
By accessing the Site, submitting a quote request, or engaging our Services in any capacity, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Site or the Services.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective Date" above. Your continued use of the Site or Services after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age and capable of forming a legally binding contract under applicable law to use the Services or enter into any charter arrangement through Approved Jets. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.
If you are booking on behalf of a minor passenger, you represent that you are the minor's parent or legal guardian and that you accept these Terms on their behalf.
3. Nature of Services — Charter Broker Disclosure
Approved Jets operates exclusively as a charter broker and does not own, operate, lease, or maintain any aircraft.
We act as an intermediary between you and FAA-certificated (or equivalent foreign authority-certificated) air charter operators ("Operators"). Our role is limited to:
- Receiving and processing your quote requests and travel requirements.
- Sourcing available aircraft and Operators through our network, including platforms such as Avinode.
- Presenting charter options, pricing, and itinerary details for your consideration.
- Facilitating communication and coordination between you and the selected Operator.
- Assisting with payment processing and booking logistics.
The contractual relationship for the actual air transportation is between you and the Operator. The Operator is solely responsible for the flight, crew, aircraft maintenance, safety, regulatory compliance, insurance, and all operational decisions. Approved Jets is not a party to the charter agreement between you and the Operator and assumes no liability for the Operator's acts, omissions, delays, cancellations, or service quality.
We make commercially reasonable efforts to work with reputable, properly certificated Operators. However, we do not independently verify the ongoing compliance status of every Operator and make no representations or warranties regarding any Operator's safety record, financial condition, or operational capabilities beyond what is publicly available.
4. Quotes, Pricing, and Booking
4.1 Quotes
All quotes provided by Approved Jets are estimates only and are subject to change based on aircraft availability, fuel costs, positioning fees, landing fees, overnight charges, de-icing, catering, ground transportation, and other variable factors. A quote does not constitute a binding offer or guarantee of price, aircraft type, or availability.
Quotes are valid for the time period stated therein, or if no time period is stated, for 48 hours from the time of issuance. After expiration, pricing and availability must be reconfirmed.
4.2 Pricing
All prices are quoted in United States Dollars (USD) regardless of the payment method used. Final pricing is confirmed only upon execution of a booking agreement or written confirmation from Approved Jets.
4.3 Booking Confirmation
A booking is considered confirmed only when all of the following conditions are met:
- You have received written confirmation (via email) from Approved Jets.
- The required deposit or full payment has been received and verified.
- The selected Operator has confirmed aircraft and crew availability.
Until all three conditions are satisfied, no binding obligation exists on the part of Approved Jets or any Operator.
5. Payment Terms
5.1 Accepted Payment Methods
Approved Jets accepts payment through the following methods:
- Credit/Debit Card: Processed through our third-party payment partners, Tuvoli/FlyEasy and/or Avinode. We do not directly collect, process, or store credit card information. All card transactions are subject to the payment processor's terms of service.
- Wire Transfer: Direct bank wire to our designated account, details provided upon booking confirmation.
- Cryptocurrency: We accept Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) via direct wallet transfer. Additional cryptocurrency payment methods may be made available at our discretion.
5.2 Cryptocurrency Payment Terms
The following terms apply specifically to payments made in cryptocurrency:
- USD-Denominated Pricing: All charter services are priced exclusively in USD. Cryptocurrency payments must equal the USD-equivalent amount at the time of transfer.
- Exchange Rate: The applicable exchange rate will be determined at the time the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, using a mutually agreed-upon rate source (e.g., CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, or another reputable index). If no rate source is agreed upon in advance, Approved Jets will designate the rate source at its reasonable discretion.
- Volatility Risk: You assume all risk associated with cryptocurrency price volatility. If the USD value of your cryptocurrency payment is less than the invoiced amount at the time of blockchain confirmation, you are responsible for remitting the difference. Approved Jets is not obligated to issue refunds or credits for overpayments caused by favorable price movements unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- Transaction Fees: You are responsible for all blockchain network fees (gas fees, miner fees, etc.) associated with your transaction. The net amount received by Approved Jets must equal the full invoiced USD-equivalent amount.
- Confirmation Requirements: Cryptocurrency payments are considered received only upon the required number of blockchain confirmations (typically [3 CONFIRMATIONS] for BTC and [30 CONFIRMATIONS] for ETH, or as otherwise specified).
- Wallet Address Verification: You are solely responsible for ensuring that cryptocurrency is sent to the correct wallet address provided by Approved Jets. Payments sent to incorrect addresses are irrecoverable, and Approved Jets bears no liability for misdirected transfers.
- Regulatory Compliance: By making payment in cryptocurrency, you represent and warrant that: (a) the funds are not derived from illegal activity; (b) the transaction complies with all applicable anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) laws; and (c) you are not a person or entity subject to economic sanctions administered by OFAC, the EU, the UN, or any other applicable authority.
- Right to Refuse: Approved Jets reserves the right to refuse cryptocurrency payment at its sole discretion for any transaction, and to require an alternative payment method.
5.3 Deposits and Final Payment
Payment schedules, including deposit amounts and final payment deadlines, will be communicated at the time of booking. Failure to remit payment by the specified deadline may result in cancellation of your booking without further notice.
5.4 Taxes and Fees
You are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, surcharges, and regulatory fees associated with your charter. These may include, but are not limited to, Federal Excise Tax (FET), segment fees, international customs and immigration fees, and local airport taxes. Such amounts will be itemized where possible but may be estimated prior to final invoicing.
6. Cancellations and Modifications
6.1 Client Cancellations
All cancellations and modification requests must be submitted in writing (via email) to Approved Jets. Cancellations are handled on a case-by-case basis, and any applicable cancellation fees, forfeiture of deposits, or refund eligibility will be determined based on:
- The proximity of the cancellation to the scheduled departure.
- Costs already incurred by the Operator (e.g., positioning flights, crew scheduling, fuel purchases, catering).
- The specific terms of the Operator's charter agreement.
Approved Jets does not guarantee any refund upon cancellation. Any refund is subject to recovery of funds from the Operator and applicable third parties.
6.2 Operator Cancellations and Schedule Changes
Operators may cancel or modify flights due to weather, mechanical issues, regulatory restrictions, crew availability, or other operational factors outside of our control. In the event of an Operator-initiated cancellation:
- Approved Jets will make commercially reasonable efforts to arrange a suitable replacement aircraft or alternative itinerary.
- If no acceptable alternative is available, any prepaid funds recovered from the Operator will be refunded to you, less any non-recoverable fees or expenses.
- Approved Jets shall not be liable for any consequential damages, including but not limited to missed connections, hotel costs, lost business, or other expenses resulting from an Operator cancellation or delay.
6.3 Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, war, terrorism, pandemics, epidemics, government action, embargoes, sanctions, natural disasters, extreme weather, air traffic control restrictions, airport closures, or labor disputes.

13. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
13.1 Informal Resolution
Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, you agree to first contact Approved Jets at charter@approved-jets.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for a period of at least sixty (60) days. Most disputes can be resolved without formal proceedings.
13.2 Binding Arbitration
If the dispute is not resolved informally, you and Approved Jets agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or any charter arranged through us (including disputes regarding the existence, validity, or termination of these Terms) shall be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect.
- Location: Arbitration shall take place in Wilmington, Delaware, or at another location mutually agreed upon by the parties. Alternatively, the arbitration may be conducted remotely via videoconference at the arbitrator's discretion.
- Arbitrator: The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator with experience in commercial and/or aviation industry disputes.
- Governing Rules: The AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules shall govern, except as modified by these Terms.
- Award: The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Fees: Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs, unless the arbitrator determines that a claim was frivolous or brought in bad faith, in which case the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party. AAA filing and administrative fees shall be allocated in accordance with AAA rules.
13.3 Class Action Waiver
YOU AND APPROVED JETS AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator shall have no authority to conduct class-wide proceedings or to consolidate claims of multiple individuals.
If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision (Section 13) shall be null and void, and the dispute shall proceed in court under Section 13.5.
13.4 Exceptions to Arbitration
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes within the court's jurisdictional limits; or (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights or confidential information.
13.5 Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. To the extent that litigation is permitted under these Terms, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware.

Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, available at approved-jets.com/privacy-policy. By using the Services, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described therein. Please review the Privacy Policy carefully.
15. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
16. Waiver
The failure of Approved Jets to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. A waiver of any term shall be effective only if in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Company.
17. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any booking confirmation or charter agreement executed in connection with a specific transaction, constitute the entire agreement between you and Approved Jets regarding your use of the Site and Services. These Terms supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, and representations with respect to the subject matter hereof.
