Terms of Service

Last updated 2026-07-27

Bennie SkyWatch ("the app", "we", "us") is a live air-traffic radar web app run by an individual developer, not a registered company. By using the app or subscribing to Premium, you agree to these terms.

1. The service

Bennie SkyWatch shows public ADS-B/AIS broadcast data via airplanes.live and adsb.fi, community ATC audio via LiveATC, aviation weather via VATSIM's METAR mirror and Open-Meteo, airport/runway reference data from OurAirports.com and OpenStreetMap, flight-route lookups via adsbdb.com, and aircraft photos via planespotters.net. This is a hobbyist situational-awareness tool, not intended for navigation, flight planning, or any operational or safety-critical decision. Positions can be delayed, incomplete, or (rarely) spoofed, since ADS-B itself has no built-in authentication.

2. Premium subscription

The free tier (live aircraft positions, estimated arrival times, static routes) remains free indefinitely. An optional Premium subscription ($4.99/month, auto-renewing, cancel anytime) adds real airline-reported gate, terminal, baggage-claim, and delay/cancellation data on top of the free tier. Payment is processed by Paddle.com, who act as the merchant of record for this purchase — your payment details are handled entirely by Paddle, never by us directly. See our Refund Policy for cancellation and refund terms.

3. Acceptable use

Don't use the app to circumvent the terms of the underlying data providers (airplanes.live, adsb.fi, and others listed in our Privacy Policy), attempt to scrape or resell data obtained through the app, or use it for any unlawful purpose.

4. No warranty

The app is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind. Data accuracy, availability, and completeness are not guaranteed — third-party data sources can be delayed, incomplete, or temporarily unavailable, and we do not control them.

5. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damages arising from use of the app, including reliance on its data for any real-world decision.

6. Changes

We may update these terms as the app changes. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.
