These Terms govern your use of the Cockpit iPhone app, this website, and related services (together, the "Service"), provided by Parra ("we", "us"). By installing or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
The Cockpit app is licensed to you under Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple EULA"). These Terms add to the Apple EULA and do not replace it. If the two conflict about the app, the Apple EULA controls.
1. Owner companion log, not a legal record
Cockpit is your aircraft's companion log: for hours, inspections, ADs, squawks, and pre-buy paperwork.
It is not a replacement for FAA-required maintenance records.
Under FAR 91.417, your aircraft's official logbook, signed by an authorized A&P or IA, remains the legal record of airworthiness. Cockpit does not, and cannot, substitute for that record or for the judgment of your mechanic.
We help you stay ahead of due dates. Your A&P signs the books.
Cockpit is a personal record-keeping tool. Information in the app is for your reference only. It is not maintenance, engineering, or legal advice, and using Cockpit creates no professional, A&P, or IA relationship.
2. Your responsibilities as the owner or operator
You are responsible for the airworthiness of your aircraft, for keeping its official maintenance records as FAR 91.417 requires, and for complying with the regulations, Airworthiness Directives, and manufacturer maintenance requirements that apply to it.
Due dates, intervals, statuses, and reminders in Cockpit are calculated from what you enter and from default intervals that may not match your aircraft, its equipment, or how it is operated. Cockpit does not determine which Airworthiness Directives apply to your aircraft. Always confirm what is due against your aircraft's records and with your A&P or IA, and never rely on Cockpit alone to decide whether an aircraft is airworthy.
3. Your data and your device
Cockpit stores your records on your iPhone and does not sync them to any server or to iCloud. We do not have a copy, so we cannot recover records that are lost or deleted. You are responsible for keeping your own backups; the app's backup export is provided for that. The Privacy Policy explains what information leaves your device.
4. Subscriptions, free trials, and billing
Using Cockpit requires Cockpit Pro, an auto-renewing yearly subscription sold through Apple as an in-app purchase. In the United States it costs $49.99 per year. US price shown. Apple sets the price in other countries and regions. The price shown in the app before you confirm a purchase is the price you pay.
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase, or when a free trial ends.
- The subscription renews automatically for another year unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
- Where a free trial is offered (7 days for new subscribers, if eligible), it converts to a paid subscription at the end of the trial unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
- You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings at any time after purchase (Apple's instructions). Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. Cancelling stops future renewals; Cockpit Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
- Apple handles billing, renewals, and refunds under its own terms. We cannot issue refunds ourselves; you can request one from Apple (Apple's instructions).
- To restore a purchase on a new or reset iPhone, sign in with the same Apple ID and tap Restore in the app. See the support page.
5. Feedback
If you send us feedback or suggestions, you allow us to use them to improve the Service without any obligation to you.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the Service, including by reverse engineering it except where the law allows, attempting to gain unauthorized access, interfering with its operation, sending automated or abusive messages through the feedback form, or using it in any way that breaks the law.
7. Intellectual property
The Service, including its text, graphics, code, and the Cockpit name and icon, is owned by Parra and protected by intellectual-property laws. Your right to use the app is the license granted in the Apple EULA; no other rights are granted.
8. Third-party services
Purchases are provided by Apple through the App Store, and crash reporting by Google through Firebase Crashlytics. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to those services.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. Software contains defects, and default intervals may not suit your aircraft. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any due date, interval, status, reminder, calculation, report, or PDF will be accurate, complete, or current.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PARRA AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AFFILIATES ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, DIMINISHED AIRCRAFT VALUE, REPAIR OR INSPECTION COSTS, FINES, OR PENALTIES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO: (A) INCORRECT, INCOMPLETE, OUTDATED, OR MISSING INFORMATION IN THE SERVICE, INCLUDING DUE DATES, INTERVALS, STATUSES, AND AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE INFORMATION; (B) BUGS, DEFECTS, OR ERRORS IN THE SOFTWARE; (C) FAILED, DELAYED, OR MISSED REMINDERS; (D) LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA; OR (E) ANY DECISION ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION, OPERATION, PURCHASE, OR SALE OF AN AIRCRAFT MADE IN RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE.
Our total liability for any claim arising out of or related to the Service is limited to the amount you paid for Cockpit in the twelve months before the claim, or USD $50, whichever is greater. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations of liability; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the fullest extent the law permits.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Parra from claims, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your use of the Service or your breach of these Terms, to the extent permitted by law.
12. Termination
You can stop using the Service at any time by deleting the app. We may suspend or end access for anyone who breaks these Terms. Sections 1, 2, 3, and 7 through 14 survive termination.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as the Service changes. We will post the new version here with a new date, and call out material changes in the app. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept it.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where the law of your country of residence requires otherwise. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.
