Terms
Taxijet provides an information portal on the global
communications network (the Internet®) which includes postings of
information relating to aircraft charters, jet, turboprop and other
aircraft; it principally serves as a site where air taxi and charter
operators post information regarding available flights, offer
quotes/estimates for flights and make the necessary contacts to
enter into arrangements to provide flights for persons desiring
flights and/or aviation services (the “End User” or
“Charterer”). Taxijet provides this service (the
“Service”) subject to the following Terms Of Use (“Terms”); by using
the Service in any way, you are agreeing to comply with these Terms.
In addition, when using Taxijet Services, you agree to abide by any
applicable posted guidelines or requirements of Taxijet, which may
change from time to time.
Should you object to any term or condition of these Terms or
any modification hereof or become dissatisfied with Taxijet in any
way, your only recourse is to discontinue use of Taxijet.

you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general
release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know
or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the
release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his
settlement with the debtor."
