Airspace Link is a provider of UAS services within the FAA’s Low-Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC). LAANC may be used to satisfy compliance with Air Traffic Control (ATC) authorization.

Planning tools should be checked prior to flight for any changes that could impact the operation. Airspace Link provides LAANC services subject to the terms of the FAA’s Privacy Statement, which is available at https://www.faa.gov/uas/programs_partnerships/data_exchange/privacy_statement/

Licensee may not, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, assign all or any part of these Terms or Licensee’s rights under these Terms or delegate performance of Licensee’s duties under these Terms without Airspace Link’s prior written consent. Any purported assignment, sale, transfer, delegation or other disposition by Licensee, except as permitted herein, will be null and void.

No waiver by either party of any breach or default under these Terms will be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. Further, these Terms may not be amended by Licensee except as mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing.

18. SEVERABILITY; INTERPRETATION.

If any provision in these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force or effectbut theremaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in effect. The parties shall meet and confer in good faith with respect to any provision found to be in contravention of the law in order to agree on a substitute provision. Any heading, caption or section title contained herein is for convenience only, and in no way defines or explains any section or provision. All terms defined in the singular shall have the same meanings when used in the plural, where appropriate and unless otherwise specified. The words “include” and “including” will not be construed as terms of limitation and will therefore mean “including but not limited to” and “including without limitation.”
