SKYSURFER AIRCRAFT SALES AND PRE-ORDER AGREEMENT
WELCOME TO SKYSURFER AIRCRAFT LLC. (“SKYSURFER”, “WE” OR “US”). PLEASE READ THIS SALES AND PRE-ORDER AGREEMENT (THE “AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY. THIS AGREEMENT IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN US AND THE PERSON OR ENTITY IDENTIFIED AS THE BUYER (“YOU”, “PURCHASER” OR THE “BUYER”) THAT GOVERNS ALL SALES, PURCHASES, PRE-ORDERS, RESERVATIONS, ORDERS, PAYMENTS, DELIVERIES, OWNERSHIP, POSSESSION, USE, OPERATION, STORAGE, ASSEMBLY, MAINTENANCE, TRANSPORTATION, TRANSFER, AND RELATED ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PRODUCT (AS DEFINED BELOW). BY CLICKING “I AGREE,” SUBMITTING A PRE-ORDER REQUEST, PLACING AN ORDER OR PURCHASE ORDER, COMPLETING ANY SALE OR PURCHASE, MAKING ANY PAYMENT, ACCEPTING DELIVERY, ACCESSING ANY SOFTWARE OR SERVICES, OR OTHERWISE ENGAGING IN ANY TRANSACTION WITH SKYSURFER, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO ACT ON BEHALF OF THE BUYER.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SCOPE OF AGREEMENT AND DEFINITIONS OF TRANSACTION TYPES
This Agreement applies to, governs, and shall be enforced with respect to every commercial interaction, transaction, order, sale, purchase, pre-order, reservation, deposit, payment, delivery, transfer, software access, support engagement, or other activity between you and SkySurfer Aircraft LLC, regardless of how characterized, denominated, sequenced, structured, or documented. For purposes of this Agreement and to ensure the maximum and uniform application of all protections set forth herein:
“Pre-Order” means any order, reservation, deposit-based commitment, purchase request, or commitment of any kind submitted by you for a Product, whether or not the Product is available for immediate delivery at the time of submission, and includes without limitation any pre-production reservation, deposit, scheduled allocation, or commitment for future delivery.
“Sale” or “Purchase” means any order, purchase request, sale, transfer, or transaction by which SkySurfer Aircraft LLC sells, transfers, conveys, or agrees to sell, transfer, or convey a Product to you, including without limitation any direct sale, made-to-order sale, scheduled sale, immediate sale, in-stock sale, or sale of any then-available Product.
“Order” means any Pre-Order, Sale, Purchase, or any other order, request, reservation, deposit, or commitment of any kind by you for any Product or related goods, services, software, or support.
“Transaction” means any Order, payment, account creation, reservation, deposit, transfer, delivery, software access, support request, communication, or other commercial, operational, or contractual activity, dealing, or interaction between you and SkySurfer Aircraft LLC of any kind whatsoever.
UNIFIED APPLICATION OF PROTECTIONS. All references in this Agreement to “Pre-Order,” “Pre-Orders,” “Sale,” “Sales,” “Purchase,” “Purchases,” “Order,” or “Orders,” or any singular or plural form thereof, shall be construed broadly and applied to include, with equal force and effect, all Pre-Orders, Sales, Purchases, Orders, and Transactions of every kind. All protections, limitations of liability, disclaimers of warranty, exclusions, releases, indemnifications, waivers, security interests, restrictions, conditions, representations and warranties by you, acknowledgments by you, assumptions of risk, dispute resolution provisions, jury trial waivers, class action waivers, and all other provisions set forth in this Agreement in favor of SkySurfer Aircraft LLC, the SkySurfer Indemnitees, or any other party affiliated with SkySurfer Aircraft LLC shall apply equally and with full force and effect to all Pre-Orders, Sales, Purchases, Orders, and Transactions, regardless of how any such activity is characterized, denominated, structured, sequenced, or documented. No party may avoid, limit, narrow, restrict, or escape the application of any provision of this Agreement by arguing that a particular Transaction was a Sale rather than a Pre-Order, a Pre-Order rather than a Sale, a Purchase rather than another category, an immediate sale rather than a deposit-based reservation, or by any similar characterization, recharacterization, or labeling argument. In the event of any ambiguity regarding the application of any provision of this Agreement to any particular Transaction, the provision shall be construed and applied in the manner that provides the maximum protection to SkySurfer Aircraft LLC. The use of the term “Pre-Order” in any specific provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to limit or restrict the application of such provision to Pre-Orders alone, but shall extend such provision to all Sales, Purchases, Orders, and Transactions to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Orders, Pre-Orders, Sales, and Acceptance.
(a) Offers and Orders.
You may submit a pre-order request, a purchase order, an order, a reservation request, a sale or purchase request, or any other order or request for a SkySurfer aircraft, personal aerial vehicle, aircraft kit, aviation product, component package, software-enabled aviation system, or related product offering identified by SkySurfer (the “Product”). Each pre-order submission (“Pre-Order”), each sale or purchase order (“Sale” or “Purchase”), and each other order submission of any kind (each, an “Order”) constitutes an offer by you to enter into a Transaction with SkySurfer subject to this Agreement and any additional terms, conditions, specifications, restrictions, limitations, disclosures, or requirements imposed by SkySurfer. Submission of any Pre-Order, Sale, Purchase, or Order does not guarantee acceptance, allocation, production, manufacturing, availability, shipment, delivery, regulatory approval, certification, operability, airworthiness, legality, commercial release, future availability, or future support of any Product.
(b) Registration Information.
When you place a Pre-Order, Sale, Purchase, or any other Order for the Product, you may be requested to provide information in connection with your Transaction, including without limitation your name, address, billing information, payment information, delivery information, export information, identification information, and other operational, compliance, or commercial information requested by SkySurfer. You represent and warrant that all such information is accurate, complete, current, authorized, and not misleading, and you agree to promptly update such information if it changes. SkySurfer shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for inaccurate, incomplete, fraudulent, invalid, outdated, or undeliverable information and shall have no obligation to verify, investigate, correct, update, supplement, or independently determine accurate contact, billing, registration, compliance, export, shipping, or delivery information.
(c) Acceptance.
Completed Pre-Orders, Sales, Purchases, and other Orders are subject to review, verification, approval, compliance screening, export review, sanctions review, fraud prevention review, operational review, and acceptance by SkySurfer in its sole and absolute discretion and may be rejected, suspended, limited, delayed, or cancelled at any time before delivery for any reason or no reason. If SkySurfer rejects or cancels a Pre-Order, Sale, Purchase, or other Order prior to delivery, your sole and exclusive remedy and SkySurfer’s sole and exclusive obligation shall be limited to refund of any refundable payment actually received by SkySurfer in connection with such Pre-Order, Sale, Purchase, or other Order, if any, as determined by SkySurfer and required by applicable law. No acceptance of any Pre-Order, Sale, Purchase, or Order shall constitute or be deemed to constitute any representation, warranty, guarantee, or commitment by SkySurfer regarding the Product, the Transaction, the timing of delivery, the performance of the Product, or any other matter, and all warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, and other protections set forth in this Agreement shall apply with full force and effect to every accepted Pre-Order, Sale, Purchase, Order, and Transaction.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
2. Restrictions on Sale; Right of Cancellation.

3. Payment.
Any pricing, configuration information, specifications, descriptions, estimates, renderings, illustrations, performance figures, range figures, timelines, projections, forecasts, delivery estimates, production schedules, availability estimates, or related information provided by SkySurfer Aircraft LLC at any time, in any form, and through any channel, including without limitation any order acknowledgment, order confirmation, sale acknowledgment, sale confirmation, purchase confirmation, invoice, digital receipt, email communication, account notification, or any other written or electronic communication, are preliminary estimates only, are inherently uncertain, are subject to change at any time in SkySurfer’s sole and absolute discretion, and do not constitute binding commitments, guarantees, promises, representations, warranties, or obligations of any kind. No communication from SkySurfer Aircraft LLC, regardless of its form, title, or content, shall constitute a binding commitment with respect to pricing, specifications, timelines, delivery, production, configuration, availability, or performance unless contained in a separate written agreement expressly identified as binding and executed by a duly authorized officer of SkySurfer Aircraft LLC. SkySurfer reserves the unrestricted right to modify pricing, specifications, components, suppliers, materials, configurations, software, hardware, manufacturing methods, production schedules, allocations, delivery timelines, commercial terms, product offerings, or availability at any time prior to delivery.
You acknowledge and agree that taxes, governmental fees, registration fees, licensing fees, insurance costs, duties, tariffs, shipping costs, processing fees, banking fees, wire fees, export costs, import costs, storage costs, transportation costs, and related charges may vary and are solely your responsibility. Any Pre-Order payment, Sale payment, Purchase payment, deposit, or related payment may be used by SkySurfer for administrative, operational, development, engineering, manufacturing, allocation, compliance, commercial, or other business purposes.
You authorize SkySurfer Aircraft LLC to charge any payment method provided by you for any and all deposits, balances, fees, taxes, governmental charges, duties, tariffs, import costs, export costs, insurance costs, processing fees, banking fees, wire fees, expenses, penalties, administrative costs, storage charges, transportation charges, shipping charges, costs of collection, attorneys’ fees incurred in collection, and any other amounts owed by you in connection with the Product, any Pre-Order, Sale, Purchase, Order, or Transaction. In the event any payment is reversed, disputed, or subject to a chargeback or payment dispute of any kind, you agree to fully indemnify SkySurfer Aircraft LLC for all costs, fees, fines, penalties, administrative charges, and losses, including without limitation payment processor fees, network assessment fees, and attorneys’ fees, arising from or related to any such reversal, dispute, chargeback, or payment dispute, regardless of the outcome.
SkySurfer reserves the right to suspend, delay, refuse, or cancel any Transaction for payment disputes, suspected fraud, compliance concerns, export concerns, sanctions concerns, legal concerns, operational concerns, inventory concerns, manufacturing concerns, or business reasons.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
4. Refunds.
Except as expressly required by applicable law or expressly approved in writing by SkySurfer in its sole discretion, all Pre-Orders, Sales, Purchases, Orders, Transactions, deposits, payments, fees, and charges are final, non-cancellable, and non-refundable. Any refund approved by SkySurfer shall be limited solely to amounts actually received by SkySurfer and determined by SkySurfer to be refundable under applicable law or written agreement and shall exclude processing fees, banking fees, wire fees, administrative costs, shipping costs, storage costs, transaction costs, third-party fees, and non-refundable expenses previously incurred. Any discretionary refund process, if offered, may be conditioned upon identity verification procedures, documentation requirements, compliance review, timing limitations, payment processor restrictions, fraud review, operational review, and additional conditions imposed by SkySurfer.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
5. Shipment and Delivery.
The Product may be developmental, experimental, configurable, prototype, pre-production, limited release, partially developed, made-to-order, subject to redesign, subject to testing, subject to validation, subject to engineering revisions, subject to software revisions, subject to battery revisions, subject to regulatory review, or subject to manufacturing limitations and supply constraints. Any estimated dates, timelines, forecasts, schedules, projections, or delivery estimates are preliminary targets only, are inherently uncertain, and do not constitute guarantees, commitments, promises, or binding obligations.
You acknowledge and agree that SkySurfer does not guarantee production schedules, manufacturing completion, delivery timing, shipment timing, regulatory approval, certification status, operational readiness, commercial release, future support, future availability, or future compatibility of any Product. Delays may result from engineering modifications, redesign efforts, software development, battery development, manufacturing limitations, supplier failures, logistics disruptions, transportation interruptions, regulatory actions, governmental restrictions, safety reviews, quality control reviews, force majeure events, allocation decisions, compliance reviews, operational decisions, or other factors beyond or within SkySurfer’s control.
To secure your payment and performance obligations under this Agreement, you hereby grant to SkySurfer Aircraft LLC a purchase money security interest in the Product (including all components, accessories, software, documentation, and proceeds thereof) (collectively, the “Collateral”) pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of California and any other applicable jurisdiction. This security interest attaches upon transfer of the Collateral and secures all amounts owed by you to SkySurfer Aircraft LLC under this Agreement or otherwise. You authorize SkySurfer Aircraft LLC to file any financing statements, continuation statements, amendments, or other documents necessary or appropriate to perfect, maintain, or enforce this security interest in any applicable jurisdiction without your further signature or consent, and you agree to execute and deliver any additional documents reasonably requested by SkySurfer Aircraft LLC to evidence, perfect, or enforce this security interest. Until all obligations owed to SkySurfer Aircraft LLC have been fully satisfied, you shall not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, lease, or otherwise dispose of or grant any interest in the Collateral without the prior written consent of SkySurfer Aircraft LLC. Upon default of any payment or other obligation, SkySurfer Aircraft LLC shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law, including without limitation the right to repossess, sell, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral.
Regardless of whether SkySurfer Aircraft LLC arranges, coordinates, or facilitates shipment on your behalf or at your request, all shipments of the Product shall be made pursuant to an FOB origin (shipping point) contract. Title, possession, custody, control, responsibility, and all risk of loss, damage, theft, destruction, delay, seizure, contamination, or deterioration shall transfer to you immediately and irrevocably upon transfer of the Product to the first carrier, freight forwarder, or logistics provider, regardless of who arranged the shipment, how freight charges are allocated, or how the transportation is documented. SkySurfer Aircraft LLC is not and shall not be deemed the agent of any carrier or logistics provider, and any arrangement made by SkySurfer Aircraft LLC for shipment is made solely as a convenience to you and creates no agency, liability, indemnification obligation, or responsibility on the part of SkySurfer Aircraft LLC for the acts, omissions, delays, errors, or conduct of any carrier, freight forwarder, logistics provider, customs broker, or other third party involved in transportation, storage, or delivery. SkySurfer Aircraft LLC shall have no liability whatsoever for shipping delays, customs delays, export or import restrictions, governmental inspections or seizures, transportation interruptions, carrier misconduct or error, theft, loss, damage in transit, storage fees, warehouse delays, insurance disputes, logistics failures, force majeure events, or any other event occurring during or after transfer to any carrier or logistics provider. You are solely responsible for obtaining adequate insurance covering the Product from the point of transfer to carrier through final delivery. If you do not elect to have SkySurfer Aircraft LLC arrange, coordinate, or facilitate shipment, you shall be solely responsible for arranging transportation, export compliance, import compliance, loading, insurance, logistics, customs clearance, and all related transportation obligations and liabilities.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Any other use or reproduction of the plans is strictly prohibited. The Purchaser shall not allow any copies or reproductions of the plans to come into the possession of any other person or entity. SkySurfer Aircraft LLC reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to modify the design, plans, specifications, components, or configuration of the Aircraft at any time and for any reason or no reason, including without limitation changes to enhance performance, address manufacturing considerations, substitute components, or for any other purpose. SkySurfer Aircraft LLC makes no representation, warranty, commitment, or guarantee that any Purchaser will be notified of any such modification. Any notification of design or plan changes by SkySurfer Aircraft LLC to any Purchaser, if made, shall be as a courtesy only, shall not create any obligation to notify other Purchasers, shall not create any duty to provide future notifications, and shall not give rise to any claim, right, or remedy by the Purchaser for failure to receive any such notification. The Purchaser’s sole obligation with respect to any design modification is to contact SkySurfer Aircraft LLC at the address set forth in Section 19 prior to commencing or continuing construction to confirm whether current plans are in effect. SkySurfer Aircraft LLC assumes no responsibility and shall have no liability whatsoever for the Purchaser’s construction of an Aircraft using outdated, superseded, or modified plans, regardless of whether SkySurfer Aircraft LLC had knowledge of same.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
2. Airworthiness:
The Purchaser is solely and exclusively responsible for determining and complying with all applicable governmental, federal, state, local, and international aviation regulations in connection with the construction, maintenance, registration, and operation of the Aircraft, including without limitation all requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration, applicable foreign civil aviation authorities, and any other applicable regulatory body, and the Purchaser agrees to obtain all inspections, certifications, registrations, and approvals required by applicable law. SkySurfer Aircraft LLC makes no representation whatsoever as to what regulatory requirements apply to the Purchaser’s Aircraft, the Purchaser’s jurisdiction, or the Purchaser’s intended use, and the Purchaser shall not rely on any statement by SkySurfer Aircraft LLC regarding regulatory compliance or regulatory applicability. The Purchaser understands and agrees that certification of the completed Aircraft is dependent upon the Purchaser’s construction techniques and that airworthiness is beyond the control of SkySurfer Aircraft LLC.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
4. WARNING: READ THIS BEFORE ORDERING.
A) The risks involved in flying an experimental homebuilt or an ultralight Aircraft are greater than those risks associated with everyday life. There are certain dangers involved which cannot be removed, no matter how safe the design, no matter how careful the construction, no matter how accomplished the pilot. These dangers include the possibility of personal injury or even death, just as in other high risk sports such as motorcycle riding, sky diving and skiing. You cannot build or fly this Aircraft unless you knowingly and willingly accept and assume these risks as your own.
B) You must also realize that the construction and/or use of any Aircraft, especially a SkySurfer Aircraft, is a task which requires critical attention to detail and uncompromising standards of construction. You cannot build this Aircraft unless you are qualified in aircraft manufacturing and willing to follow exactly all instructions provided by SkySurfer Aircraft LLC. Any unapproved alteration or unapproved use may significantly increase the risks of flights, making you a test pilot for an unproven design.
C) As the builder of a SkySurfer Aircraft, it is your responsibility to double check the quality of all materials used in construction. Although all materials supplied to you by SkySurfer Aircraft LLC have been quality checked, it is up to you to give each part a careful examination before installing it on your Aircraft. This duty is especially important in connection with composite materials, which may be damaged in shipment, handling or storage. If you encounter any part or building materials which is not airworthy, then it is up to you to contact SkySurfer Aircraft LLC to arrange for a replacement. Also, if you have any questions about the plans and instructions provided with the aircraft kit, it is up to you to reach out to SkySurfer Aircraft LLC to resolve it. If it appears as though a drawing or instruction can be read in more than one way, it is your responsibility to find out which interpretation is correct. SkySurfer Aircraft LLC may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without any obligation to do so, attempt to provide clarification regarding its plans and instructions. Any such clarification, if provided, is offered as a courtesy only, without warranty of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any purpose, and shall not be relied upon as a substitute for the Purchaser’s independent obligation to exercise professional judgment in construction. SkySurfer Aircraft LLC assumes no liability for the content of any clarification provided, for any failure to provide clarification, or for any delay in responding to any inquiry. The Purchaser’s obligation to resolve any ambiguity in plans and instructions remains the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive responsibility.
D) It is critical that any person flying an Aircraft designed by SkySurfer Aircraft LLC understands certain facts. First, the Purchaser acknowledges and understands that operation of the Aircraft requires appropriate training, qualifications, experience, and demonstrated proficiency, regardless of whether applicable regulations require a pilot certificate or license. While pilots operating aircraft in the ultralight category under 14 CFR Part 103 are not required to hold an FAA-issued pilot certificate, the absence of a certification requirement does not diminish the necessity of adequate training, experience, and demonstrated competency. SkySurfer Aircraft LLC makes no representation regarding what level of training, experience, or proficiency constitutes adequate qualification for any individual pilot, and the determination of whether any individual is competent to operate the Aircraft is solely the responsibility of that individual and not SkySurfer Aircraft LLC. No person should operate the Aircraft without first obtaining adequate training in a similarly configured aircraft and achieving demonstrated proficiency. SkySurfer Aircraft LLC assumes no duty and accepts no liability in connection with any determination regarding pilot qualification or readiness to fly. Second, any pilot who wants to fly the Aircraft should first have adequate experience in a similarly configured training aircraft. Finally, by definition, any pilot who flies an experimental or ultralight Aircraft is an experimental pilot. This maxim is especially true for the first flights of the Aircraft. Initial test flights should be approached with extreme caution, following established guidelines. If you do not know these guidelines, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) can help you.
E) By definition, the SkySurfer Aircraft which is the subject of this Agreement is an experimental Aircraft (or an ultralight aircraft if built to those specifications) and is not certificated to the same standards as manufactured general aviation Aircraft. There are some regimes of flight in which the Aircraft has not been tested. It is possible for a pilot to place the Aircraft into these certain flight regimes which may render the Aircraft uncontrollable or unrecoverable. Operation of the Aircraft under these circumstances could result in serious injury or even death. Therefore, any person flying the Aircraft must accept responsibility for acting as a test pilot. There are no guarantees that the Aircraft constructed by the Purchaser will be the same as, or even similar to, the prototype constructed by SkySurfer Aircraft LLC. The Purchaser is the manufacturer of the Aircraft assembled with components supplied by SkySurfer Aircraft LLC. The Purchaser accepts sole responsibility and liability for construction of the Aircraft. Purchaser also accepts liability and responsibility for the safe and careful operation of the completed Aircraft. In summary, building and flying any experimental or Ultralight aircraft involves certain inherent risks which you assume by ordering, building and flying this aircraft. It is up to you minimize these risks by exercising extreme care in every activity associated with construction and flight. By developing an attitude of professionalism, safety and attention to detail, you will be a safer pilot enabling you to enjoy your SkySurfer Aircraft even more.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
5. Indemnification and Release:
The Purchaser agrees, on behalf of the Purchaser, the Purchaser’s heirs, executors, administrators, assigns, and any subsequent purchasers, owners, or operators of the Purchaser’s kit or completed Aircraft, to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SkySurfer Aircraft LLC and its past, present, and future officers, directors, shareholders, members, managers, employees, agents, representatives, licensors, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “SkySurfer Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, causes of action, proceedings, judgments, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses of any nature (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees, court costs, and all other defense costs) arising out of, related to, or in connection with: (a) the Purchaser’s construction, assembly, maintenance, storage, transport, repair, modification, display, demonstration, or operation of the Purchaser’s Aircraft or any component thereof; (b) any use or misuse of the plans, designs, or license granted hereunder; (c) any violation of applicable law in connection with the foregoing; or (d) any claim by any third party, including without limitation bystanders, property owners, governmental authorities, or any other person or entity, arising from the construction or operation of the Purchaser’s Aircraft. The Purchaser assumes all liability in conjunction with the construction, maintenance, and operation of the Purchaser’s kit or completed SkySurfer Aircraft. The Purchaser, on behalf of himself or herself, or themselves, and the Purchaser’s heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably releases the SkySurfer Indemnitees from any and all liability for property loss or damage, bodily injury, or death, resulting from or related to the Purchaser’s construction, maintenance, storage, transport, or operation of the Purchaser’s SkySurfer Aircraft. The Purchaser understands and agrees that SkySurfer Aircraft LLC is unwilling to enter into this Agreement unless induced to do so by the Purchaser’s agreement to the indemnification and release provisions of this Section, and that the Purchaser’s agreement to these provisions constitutes material consideration for SkySurfer Aircraft LLC’s obligations hereunder.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
6. Purchase Order:
The terms and conditions of the SkySurfer Aircraft LLC Purchase Order, Sale Order, Vehicle Configuration, and/or Final Price Sheet used to order or purchase any kit or component are expressly made a part of this Agreement.

7. Governing Law:
SkySurfer Aircraft LLC and the Purchaser agree that this agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, USA. The parties also agree that if any portion of this agreement is invalidated in any manner, any remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
8. Entire Agreement:
This instrument constitutes and embodies the entire agreement of the parties. There are no promises, terms, conditions or obligations other than those contained herein. With respect to the subject matter hereof, this Agreement supersedes all previous communications, representations or agreements oral or written, between the parties.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
10. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SkySurfer Aircraft LLC and the SkySurfer Indemnitees (as defined in Section 5) from and against any and all losses, costs, liabilities, damages, judgments, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of, or inability to use, the Product; (b) your violation of this Agreement; (c) your violation of any rights of another party; or (d) your violation of any applicable laws, rules, or regulations. SkySurfer Aircraft LLC reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with SkySurfer Aircraft LLC in asserting any available defenses. This indemnification obligation is in addition to, and not in lieu of, the indemnification and release obligations set forth in Section 5, and both provisions shall operate together to provide the broadest possible protection to the SkySurfer Indemnitees. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require you to indemnify any SkySurfer Indemnitee solely to the extent prohibited by applicable law as a matter of public policy that cannot be waived by contract; however, any such exception shall be construed as narrowly as applicable law requires and no more broadly.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
11. Force Majeure.
Neither party will be liable to the other for any failure to perform its obligations due to an event beyond the control of such party, including, but not limited to, any Act of God, terrorism, war, political insurgence, insurrection, riot, civil unrest, act of civil or military authority, uprising, earthquake, flood or any other natural or man-made eventuality outside of that party’s control, which causes the termination of an agreement or contract entered into, or which could not have been reasonably foreseen. Any party affected by such event will inform the other party and use all reasonable endeavors to comply with this Agreement.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
12. Modification of this Agreement.

This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.
(b) Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your dispute or claim or request for relief to info@skysurferaircraft.com. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, except that disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or requests for relief of $250,000 or less (not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest) shall be subject to JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. In the event JAMS is unavailable or declines to administer the arbitration, the parties shall mutually agree upon an alternative established arbitration provider; if the parties cannot agree within thirty (30) days, the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The rules of the selected arbitral forum shall govern all procedural matters not addressed in this Agreement, except to the extent such rules conflict with this Arbitration Agreement, in which case this Arbitration Agreement shall control. Payment of all filing, administrative, hearing, and other arbitration fees shall be governed by the applicable rules of the selected arbitral forum. If you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the cost of arbitration would be prohibitively expensive as compared to the costs of litigation, SkySurfer Aircraft LLC will pay as much of the filing, administrative, and hearing fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive, not to exceed SkySurfer Aircraft LLC’s share of such fees under the applicable rules. Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that a claim or defense was frivolous or brought in bad faith, in which case the arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, award attorneys’ fees against the party asserting such frivolous or bad faith claim or defense. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require SkySurfer Aircraft LLC to subsidize an arbitration where the Purchaser’s claims are frivolous, brought in bad faith, or are barred by this Agreement. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and SkySurfer. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
(d) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND SKYSURFER HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and SkySurfer are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 15(a) above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
(e) Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of California. All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.
(f) 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: info@skysurferaircraft.com, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your SkySurfer username (if any), the email address you used to set up your SkySurfer account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
(g) Severability. Except as provided in Section 15(e), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
(h) Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with SkySurfer.
(i) Survival of Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if SkySurfer makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing SkySurfer at the following address: info@skysurferaircraft.com.

17. Exclusive Venue.
To the extent the parties are permitted under this Agreement to initiate litigation in a court, both you and SkySurfer agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement that are permitted to be brought in court pursuant to this Agreement will be litigated exclusively in the state courts of San Francisco County, California or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and both parties hereby irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objection to such venue, including any objection based on inconvenient forum.

18. Governing Law.
This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of California, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
19. Notice.
Where SkySurfer requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing SkySurfer with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to SkySurfer is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/permitted by this Agreement, SkySurfer’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to SkySurfer at the following address: info@skysurferaircraft.com. Such notice will be deemed given when received by SkySurfer at the address above or by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail to SkySurfer Aircraft 201 E Center St Ste 112 PMB 3048 Anaheim, CA 92805.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
20. Consent to Electronic Communications.
The communications between you and SkySurfer use electronic means, whether you visit our website or send us emails, or whether we post notices on our website or communicate with you via e-mail. For contractual purposes, you (1) consent to receive communications from SkySurfer in an electronic form; and (2) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that SkySurfer provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were to be in writing. The foregoing does not affect your statutory rights.
