1. 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

discontinue use of Taxijet.

representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you
and such organizations and/or individuals. You should make whatever
investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with
any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties. You

disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such
disputes and/or our service. If you are a California resident, 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."
