TERMS OF SERVICE

LAST UPDATED: APRIL 2026 ยท VERSION 2.0

These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you”) and v1prep (“we”, “us”, “our”). Please read them carefully. By creating an account or using the Service you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted these Terms.

1. Definitions

  • Service — the v1prep website, web application, mobile app and related content.
  • Content — question banks, explanations, notes, schemas, videos, audio, and any other material made available through the Service.
  • Subscription — a paid plan granting access to premium Content for a recurring period (monthly or yearly) or lifetime access.
  • Consumer — a natural person acting outside their trade, business, craft or profession (as defined in EU Directive 2011/83/EU).

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and purchase a Subscription. If you are between 13 and 18, you may use a free account only with verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian. The Service is not directed at children under 13 (under 16 in the EU/EEA) and we do not knowingly collect their data.

3. Description of the Service

v1prep provides aviation training content — including question banks, study notes, schemas and progress tracking — for pilot training and airline interview preparation. Content covers EASA ATPL theory, Airbus A320 Family type rating, Boeing 737 (NG / MAX) type rating, and related subjects.

4. Educational Purpose, Independence & Disclaimer

v1prep is an independent training tool. It is not an official, authority-approved or certified resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any aviation regulator (EASA, FAA, ICAO, UK CAA, GCAA), aircraft manufacturer (Airbus, Boeing, ATR, Embraer, etc.), airline, or Approved Training Organisation (ATO).

Content is provided for educational and training purposes only. It is not a substitute for official manufacturer documentation (FCOM/FCTM/QRH), regulatory authority materials (EASA/FAA/ICAO), approved ATO courseware, your operator's SOPs, or instruction from certified flight instructors and examiners. Users are solely responsible for consulting authoritative sources for any operational, certification or licensing decision.

We are committed to the highest editorial accuracy. If you spot a discrepancy or error, please report it via the ⚑ REPORT ERROR button beneath any question's explanation, or via our Contact form. See the full Disclaimer & Independence statement.

5. Subscriptions, Pricing & Auto-Renewal

Paid plans (PRO, Lifetime, School licences) are billed in advance through our payment processor Gumroad, who acts as Merchant of Record and handles VAT/sales-tax collection and remittance in all supported jurisdictions.

Auto-renewal notice (UK Consumer Rights Act / EU consumer rules): monthly and yearly Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price, unless you cancel before the renewal date. You will receive an email reminder at least 7 days before renewal for yearly plans. You can cancel at any time from your Account panel or the Gumroad customer portal (link included in your receipt).

We may change prices for future billing periods; existing Subscriptions continue at the original price until renewal, and you will be notified of any change at least 30 days in advance.

6. Digital Content & Right of Withdrawal

EU/UK Consumers: under EU Directive 2011/83/EU and the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a distance contract. Because the Service is digital content supplied immediately, you expressly consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once you begin accessing paid Content. Despite this, we voluntarily offer a 14-day money-back guarantee subject to our Refund Policy.

See our Refund Policy for full details.

7. Licence & Acceptable Use

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access the Content for personal, non-commercial training use only, while your account is active and in good standing. You agree not to:

  • resell, redistribute, sublicense, publish or publicly share paid Content;
  • reverse-engineer, decompile, scrape or use automated tools to extract Content;
  • share your account credentials or allow third parties to use your account;
  • use the Service for any unlawful, fraudulent, or infringing purpose;
  • upload malicious code, overload our infrastructure or attempt to gain unauthorised access;
  • circumvent access controls, payment systems, or usage limits.

8. Intellectual Property

All Content, trademarks, logos, interface design, source code and databases are owned by v1prep or its licensors and are protected by copyright, database-right and trademark laws. Questions and explanations may reference public regulatory, manufacturer or academic sources (cited where applicable); the curation, wording, selection, arrangement, schemas and platform are our proprietary work.

Third-party trademarks (Airbus, Boeing, EASA, ICAO, etc.) appear for identification purposes only; no affiliation or endorsement is implied.

9. User Content

When you submit content to us (bug reports, error reports, suggestions, comments), you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable licence to use, reproduce, modify and incorporate such content into the Service without obligation to you.

10. Warranty Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uptime or accuracy. Nothing in these Terms limits any statutory rights you have as a consumer — in the EU/UK this specifically includes conformity of digital content under Directive (EU) 2019/770 and the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, v1prep's aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred euros (€100). We exclude liability for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, loss of profit, data, goodwill or exam results.

Nothing in this clause excludes or limits liability for: death or personal injury caused by negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; gross negligence or wilful misconduct; or any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable consumer protection law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless v1prep, its officers, employees and agents from any claim, damage or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or infringement of any third-party right by your use of the Service.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you materially breach these Terms, with or without notice depending on severity. You may close your account at any time from the Account panel; closure terminates access but does not entitle you to a refund beyond the Refund Policy window. Sections that by their nature should survive (IP, liability, indemnity, governing law) survive termination.

14. Modifications to the Service & Terms

We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. Material changes to these Terms will be notified via email or a prominent site banner at least 30 days before taking effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you may cancel your Subscription and request a pro-rata refund of any unused paid period.

15. Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control (natural disasters, war, strikes, government action, internet or utility outages, cyber-attacks, pandemics).

16. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Operator's country of establishment (the country in which the natural person Operator has their habitual residence, or, if the Operator is a legal entity, the country of its registered seat — as specified in our Legal Notice / Imprint), without regard to conflict-of-law rules (UN CISG excluded). Courts of that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction for business-to-business disputes. Consumer protection: if you are a Consumer resident in the EU/EEA or UK, nothing in this clause deprives you of the protection of the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence (Art. 6 Rome I / Art. 17-18 Brussels I bis), and you may also bring proceedings before the courts of your place of residence.

17. Online Dispute Resolution (EU)

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obliged or willing to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

18. Severability, Waiver, Assignment

If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder shall continue in full force. Failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a corporate transaction on notice to you.

19. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and v1prep regarding the Service.
