Terms of Service

1. Scope of AvPlat Services

1.1 AvPlat Platform is a marketplace for aviation which enables registered users (“Members”) who offer services related to the aviation industry (Members who offer services are “Service Providers” and the services they offer are “Services”) to publish such Services on the AvPlat Platform (“Listings”) and to communicate and transact directly with Members who are seeking to avail such Services (Members using Services are “Customers”).

1.2 AvPlat does not own, create, sell, resell, provide, control, manage, offer, deliver, or supply any Listings or Services on its AvPlat Platform. Service Providers alone are responsible for their Listings and Services on the AvPlat Platform. When Members make or accept any of Services, they are entering into a contract directly with the concerned Service Provider. AvPlat is not and does not become a party to any contractual relationship between Members. AvPlat is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any Member, except as specified in the Payments Terms.

1.3 While we may facilitate the resolution of disputes, AvPlat has no control over and does not guarantee (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Listings or Services, (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Listing descriptions, Ratings, Reviews, or other Member Content (as defined below), or (iii) the performance or conduct of any Member or third party. AvPlat does not endorse any Member, Listing or Services. Any references to a Member being "verified" (or similar language) only indicate that the Member has completed a relevant verification or identification process and nothing else. Any such description is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by AvPlat about any Member, including of the Member's identity or background or whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable.

1.4 If you choose to use the AvPlat Platform, as a Service Provider, your relationship with AvPlat is limited to being an independent, third-party contractor, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of AvPlat for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of AvPlat.

1.6 Due to the nature of the Internet, AvPlat cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the AvPlat Platform. AvPlat may restrict the availability of the AvPlat Platform or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the AvPlat Platform. AvPlat may improve, enhance and modify the AvPlat Platform and introduce new AvPlatServices from time to time.

18.2 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and AvPlat each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact AvPlat’s customer service team by emailing us. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration.

18.3 Agreement to Arbitrate. You and AvPlat mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or to the use of the AvPlat Platform, the Services, or the Collective Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and AvPlat agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.

18.4 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and AvPlat each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).

18.5 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in Singapore in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC Rules") for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause. The tribunal shall consist of 3 members. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The venue and seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore.

18.6 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.

18.7 Jury Trial Waiver. You and AvPlat acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.

18.8 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and AvPlat acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney-general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless you and AvPlat both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this paragraph is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute.
