Terms of Service

MinLine — operated by [Company Legal Name] — Effective [Effective Date]

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of MinLine (the "Service"), a web application operated by [Company Legal Name] ("Company," "we," "us"). By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you ("you" or "User") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Not Affiliated with Any Airline

The Service is an independent, third-party tool built for airline pilots. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to any airline, air carrier, or their parent or affiliated companies. All airline names, marks, and scheduling system names referenced by Users or in uploaded materials remain the property of their respective owners and are used, where used at all, solely for identification and are not implied to be sponsors of the Service.

2. What the Service Does

The Service accepts a bid package or pairing document that you upload yourself, and generates ranked, informational groupings intended to help you evaluate options ahead of submitting your own bid through your employer's official bidding system (e.g., a PBS or equivalent preferential bidding system). The Service does not submit bids on your behalf, does not communicate with any airline crew scheduling system, and has no ability to affect, control, or guarantee the outcome of any bid award. All bid awards are determined solely by your employer's scheduling system and applicable collective bargaining agreement, work rules, and seniority.

3. Eligibility and Your Uploaded Data

You represent that you are an active airline pilot (or otherwise authorized crewmember) subject to a bid or pairing system, that you are at least 18 years old, and that you have the right to upload and use, for your own personal reference, any bid package, pairing sheet, or schedule document you submit to the Service. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service, including uploading documents issued by your employer, complies with your employer's policies, your collective bargaining agreement, and any confidentiality obligations that apply to you. Do not upload another crewmember's personal schedule, seniority, or contact information without their consent.

4. License to Your Content

You retain ownership of any document, file, or data you upload to the Service ("User Content"). You grant the Company a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and analyze your User Content solely to provide and improve the Service to you. The Company will not sell your User Content or share it with any airline, employer, or third party except as described in the Privacy Policy or as required by law.

5. No Guaranteed Outcomes

The Service provides informational estimates and rankings only. It does not guarantee any specific pay, credit, schedule, days off, or bid award, and it is not a substitute for your own review of your pairing package, your collective bargaining agreement or pilot working agreement, or consultation with your scheduling department or union representative. You are solely responsible for verifying, before submitting any bid, that your selections comply with all applicable legal and contractual limits (duty time, rest, minimum credit, and similar rules).

6. Beta / Free Access Period

The Company may offer the Service free of charge during a testing or beta period, with access limited to invited Users (e.g., via passcode). Features, availability, and pricing during this period may change at any time without notice as the Service moves toward general availability and paid subscriptions.

7. Subscriptions and Payment

Following the beta period, the Service may be offered on a recurring monthly subscription basis at the pricing displayed at the time of purchase. By subscribing, you authorize the Company to charge your chosen payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel. Subscriptions renew automatically each billing period unless cancelled prior to the renewal date through your account settings or by contacting [support email]. Except where required by law, fees already charged are non-refundable. The Company may change subscription pricing on a going-forward basis with reasonable advance notice to active subscribers.

8. Prohibited Uses

• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the underlying ranking logic of the Service.
• Resell, sublicense, or provide access to the Service to anyone outside your own account.
• Upload data you are not authorized to use, or another individual's personal or schedule data without consent.
• Use the Service in any way that violates your employer's policies, your collective bargaining agreement, or applicable law.
• Use automated means (bots, scrapers) to access the Service outside of its intended interface.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, ranking methodology, design, and branding, is owned by the Company and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you a limited, revocable right to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial reference; no other rights are granted.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY RANKING OR CALCULATION WILL BE ACCURATE OR RESULT IN ANY PARTICULAR BID OUTCOME.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PAY, CREDIT, SCHEDULE, OR EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. THE COMPANY'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any claim arising from your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any employer policy or collective bargaining agreement in connection with your use of the Service.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service and cancel your subscription at any time. The Company may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, misuse the Service, or if required by law. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 9–12) will survive.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [State], without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in [State], and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

15. Changes to These Terms

The Company may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by posting an updated version with a new effective date, or by direct notice for active subscribers. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
