Terms

1. Scope

These terms apply to altnautica.com, the hosted ground station at command.altnautica.com, the documentation site and the investor portal. They are a contract about a service, not about software.

The software is different. Mission Control, both agents, the extension monorepo and the Android application are licensed under the GNU General Public License, and that licence is the whole of your permission to use them. Nothing on this page adds a restriction to it, and if anything here appeared to, the licence would win. A self-hosted deployment is outside these terms entirely.

2. Using the hosted ground station

It is provided as-is and free of charge, and it is the same build as the source. Please do not use it to attack or interfere with anything: no attempts to reach another operator's aircraft, fleet or account, no load testing, no scraping the service as a data source, and no using it to operate an aircraft unlawfully. We may suspend access that is doing any of those, and we may take the service down for maintenance without notice.

Security research is welcome and is governed by our disclosure policy rather than by this clause. Read that page before you test anything.

3. Flight safety, and what this software is not

You are the operator. You are responsible for the airworthiness of your aircraft, for the airspace you fly in, for the authorisations that airspace requires, and for everything the aircraft does. This platform is not certified avionics, it is not a substitute for a pre-flight check, and no feature on it removes the requirement to be able to take manual control.

Features marked In Development or Planned are exactly that. Do not build an operation around one, and do not treat a maturity badge as conservative marketing: it means the thing is not finished.

Compliance exports are a reporting aid. They format a record you already hold into a shape an authority or an insurer can read. They do not constitute regulatory approval, and they do not check whether your flight was lawful.

4. No warranty, and the limit of what we owe you

The hosted services are provided without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that they will be available, uninterrupted, or free of defects. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for lost profit, lost data, or damage to an aircraft or a payload, arising from your use of the hosted services. Where liability cannot be excluded it is limited to the amount you paid us for the service in question, which for the free services is nothing.

The software carries its own warranty disclaimer in sections 15 and 16 of the GPL, and that is what governs the software.

5. Accounts and the investor portal

Keep your credentials to yourself, do not share an account, and tell us if you think it has been compromised. The investor portal contains confidential company information and access is granted by role: registering an account does not entitle you to that content. Anything you are shown there is confidential and is not to be redistributed. We may suspend or delete an account that breaches these terms, and you may delete yours at any time by asking.

6. Content and trade marks

The Altnautica name and wordmark are ours. The press kit sets out how to use them in coverage of us, which is permitted; using them to imply that we endorse, certify or supply your product is not. Documentation content is dedicated to the public domain and needs no permission at all.

7. Changes, and the law that applies

We may update these terms; the date at the top changes when we do, and continuing to use the hosted services after that is acceptance. These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of Bangalore have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. If you are a consumer somewhere that gives you non-waivable local rights, this clause does not take them away.

If a provision here is unenforceable, the rest stands. Questions about any of this go to the contact form.
