General Terms and Conditions

The provider is Tom Hofer, Rainspergstrasse 6, 8608 Bubikon, Switzerland (project "Aero.Academy", in formation). Contact: [email protected].

These Terms apply to all users of aero.academy (Free and Pro). By registering, you accept these Terms.

Aero.Academy is a study aid for EASA theory training towards the PPL(H) (Helicopter) and PPL(A) (Aeroplane). The offering comprises flashcards, mock exams in ECQB format, an AI tutor ("AI-FI") and supplementary learning content (glossary, study guide).

Aero.Academy is NOT a substitute for an ATO (Approved Training Organisation). Mandatory theory training, exam registration and licence issuance are handled exclusively by a flight school recognised by the competent aviation authority (BAZL / LBA / Austro Control / others).

Free: trial access with a limited card sample. AI-FI only via top-up credits.

Pro: monthly or yearly subscription, cancellable at any time effective at the end of the current billing period. Prices as per aero.academy/pricing at the time the contract is concluded. Payment is processed via Stripe.

Price changes are announced at least 30 days in advance by email. During this period you may object and cancel the subscription effective from the date the change takes effect.

Cards, glossary entries, AI-FI answers and mock exam questions are AI-generated (Anthropic Claude). Despite multi-stage quality control, errors may occur — particularly with numerical values, limits, emergency procedures or regulatory specifics.

For safety-critical material (V-speeds, mass & balance, emergency procedures, airspaces) always consult the official EASA sources (Easy Access Rules for Aircrew), the national aviation authority and the flight manual of the specific aircraft type.

Aero.Academy is not liable for damage arising from the use of erroneous AI answers — neither in a learning context nor in subsequent flight practice.

Sign-in is OAuth-only via Google or Apple. We deliberately do not offer magic-link or password login (protection against account sharing).

Account sharing is not permitted. Each pilot uses their own account. Where sharing is detected (multiple devices, geographic anomalies), we may temporarily suspend or terminate the account.

You undertake not to use the platform for automated scraping, reverse engineering or resale of the content.

All content (cards, explanations, mock questions, glossary, study guide, code, design) is protected by copyright. You receive a simple, non-transferable right of use for your personal learning purposes for the duration of the contract.

Reproduction, resale, publication or commercial use of the content is prohibited without express written consent.

You: at any time, effective at the end of the current month, via your account settings or by email to [email protected]. Amounts already paid are not refunded on a pro-rata basis.

Us: in the event of repeated or serious breaches of these Terms (e.g. systematic scraping, account sharing), with reasonable notice or without notice. In such a case we refund any remaining credit for the current month.

Swiss law applies, to the exclusion of its conflict-of-laws rules and of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contractual relationship is Hinwil, Canton of Zurich (Switzerland). Mandatory consumer-protection jurisdictions remain reserved.

Aero.Academy is currently at a pre-incorporation stage. Upon registration of the company (e.g. as a GmbH or AG), these Terms may be amended. We announce material changes at least 30 days in advance by email; you may object within this period and cancel the subscription.

Should individual provisions of these Terms be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid one that comes as close as possible to the originally intended purpose.

These Terms are also available in German. In the event of any discrepancy, the German version prevails.
