Terms of Service

Last updated: August 14, 2026 · Effective date: August 14, 2026

Welcome to Airplein. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Airplein Studios LLC (“Airplein,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Colorado limited liability company. They govern your use of the Airplein iPhone app, the airplein.com website, and any related services (together, the “Services”). Airplein is an art habit tracker — sessions, points, streaks, and challenges — with a places and map layer for plein air painters and urban sketchers.

By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect and use your information. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

Please note: Section 16 (Dispute Resolution) contains an arbitration provision and class-action waiver that affect how disputes between you and Airplein are resolved.

1. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent that you meet this requirement and that any registration information you provide is accurate.

You can create an account with an email address and password, or by signing in with Google or Sign in with Apple. Authentication is handled by Amazon Cognito. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us at hello@airplein.com if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

You may delete your account at any time from within the app (Settings → Delete Account). Deletion is permanent and removes your account, your content, and associated data from our systems, as described in our Privacy Policy.

2. What Is Free, What Is Pro, and Payment

Core tracking stays available on the free tier: you can record a session, use the map, keep streaks, and use spots without paying. Challenge of the Week also stays free. The rest of the challenge catalog, practice insights on the streak screen, and a verification check and avatar highlight on your profile are Airplein Pro features.

We currently offer three paid options, purchased through Apple In-App Purchase (with entitlements managed by RevenueCat):

• Pro monthly — an auto-renewing subscription billed each month;
• Pro yearly — an auto-renewing subscription billed each year, with a 7-day free trial that converts to a paid subscription unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends;
• Pro lifetime — a one-time, non-consumable purchase that does not auto-renew.

The price and billing period are shown in the App Store purchase sheet before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. We never see your card number.

• Auto-renewing subscriptions renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends.
• Manage or cancel in your Apple ID subscription settings (Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions). Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
• Apple processes payment and handles refunds under Apple’s policies. Contact Apple for billing questions and refund requests on App Store purchases.

We may change prices or Pro features prospectively. If a price change affects an existing subscription, you will be notified under Apple’s procedures and may cancel before the change takes effect. A lifetime purchase is not refunded by us if we later change Pro features; any refund is Apple’s to decide.

3. Your Content

The Services let you upload and share content, including photos of your artwork, painting locations (“spots”), session details, notes, and profile information including your avatar (collectively, “Your Content”). You retain all ownership rights in Your Content. Airplein does not claim ownership of your artwork.

So that we can operate the Services, you grant Airplein a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute Your Content for operating, improving, and promoting the Services (for example, showing public artwork on the map or featuring community work on airplein.com). This license ends when you delete the relevant content or your account, except (a) for content you have already shared publicly that others have viewed, or that remains in encrypted backups for a limited period, typically up to 30 days, and then is purged, and (b) spots you contribute to the shared map, which may remain available to the community after your account is deleted, with identifying attribution removed.

You are responsible for Your Content. You represent that you own it or have the rights needed to share it, and that it does not violate anyone else’s rights or any law.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Services to:

• post content that is unlawful, infringing, hateful, harassing, threatening, pornographic, or otherwise objectionable;
• post images that are not your own artwork or that you do not have the right to share;
• create spots that encourage trespassing on private property or entering restricted or dangerous areas;
• impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone;
• harass, stalk, or attempt to locate another user against their wishes;
• scrape, harvest, or bulk-download data from the Services, or access the Services by automated means other than interfaces we provide;
• interfere with or disrupt the Services, probe or circumvent security measures, or reverse-engineer any part of the Services except as permitted by law;
• use the Services for commercial purposes without our prior written consent.

5. Content Moderation; Zero Tolerance for Objectionable Content

There is no place on Airplein for objectionable or abusive content. Images uploaded to the Services are screened by automated AI moderation (AWS Bedrock) and may also be reviewed by a person. We may remove or restrict any content that violates these Terms, and we may suspend or permanently terminate the account of any user who posts objectionable content or engages in abusive behavior.

You can report content or users from within the app or by emailing hello@airplein.com. We review reports and typically act within 24 hours. A single report hides the reported content from you (the reporter). It does not automatically hide that content from everyone else. Repeated reports of the same artwork can queue it for broader review.

Automated moderation is not perfect. We do not guarantee that all violating content will be caught, and we are not responsible for content posted by users, though we will act on violations we become aware of.

6. Location Sharing and Privacy Controls

With your permission, the app uses When-In-Use GPS to tag where you painted. You may also set an optional home or studio zone. Content you share publicly — including spots you create and artwork placed on the map — can reveal the exact place where the art was made. Think carefully before sharing locations near your home, workplace, or other places you visit regularly.

The app provides visibility settings for sessions and an optional home-zone feature that helps keep locations near a place you designate private. You are responsible for choosing and maintaining the privacy settings that are right for you. Airplein is not liable for consequences of location information you choose to share.

7. Spots, Outdoor Activity, and Assumption of Risk

Spots on Airplein are contributed by users. We do not verify that any spot is safe, legal, or physically accessible, that access is permitted, or that conditions described are accurate or current. A spot’s presence on the map is not a recommendation or an assurance of lawful access.

Painting and sketching outdoors involves inherent risks, including risks from weather, terrain, traffic, wildlife, other people, and remote locations. You use the Services and visit any location at your own risk. You are solely responsible for evaluating conditions, obeying laws and posted restrictions, respecting private property, and exercising your own judgment. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you assume all risks arising from your outdoor activities and release Airplein from liability for injuries, losses, or damages arising from them.

8. Points, Streaks, and Challenges

The Services include points, streaks, badges, challenges, and similar features. These have no monetary value, cannot be redeemed, sold, or transferred, and may be changed, reset, or discontinued at any time. We may adjust or remove points earned through bugs, abuse, or violations of these Terms. Some challenge catalog items and practice insights are Pro features, as described in Section 2.

9. Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

We respect intellectual property rights and expect users to do the same. If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, send a notice that includes the information required by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)) to:

Your notice should include:

• a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner;
• identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
• identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate it on the Services (such as a URL);
• your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• a statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

We may remove content in response to valid notices and may terminate accounts of repeat infringers. If we remove your content, you may send a counter-notice as provided by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

10. Airplein’s Intellectual Property

The Services — including the Airplein name, logo, software, design, and all content we provide (excluding Your Content and other users’ content) — are owned by Airplein Studios LLC or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app and website for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms. No other rights are granted.

11. Third-Party Services

The Services incorporate third-party services, including Apple (App Store and in-app purchases), RevenueCat (subscription entitlements), Amazon Web Services, Mapbox (maps), and the providers described in our Privacy Policy. Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms. We are not responsible for third-party services, websites, or content linked from the Services.

12. Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or other feedback about the Services, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use it without restriction or compensation to you.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT INFORMATION ON THE SERVICES (INCLUDING USER-CONTRIBUTED SPOTS AND LOCATION INFORMATION) IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AIRPLEIN AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, YOUR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES, OR CONTENT POSTED BY OTHER USERS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE OR (B) $50 USD. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Airplein Studios LLC and its owners, employees, and agents from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from Your Content, your use of the Services, your outdoor activities, or your violation of these Terms or of any third-party right.

16. Dispute Resolution; Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

Before filing a claim, email hello@airplein.com and give us 30 days to try to resolve it informally.

If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (available at www.adr.org). This is individual arbitration only. You and Airplein each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could. Hearings, if any, will take place in Colorado or, if the AAA rules allow, in the county where you live or by video or telephone.

Either party may bring a qualifying claim in small claims court instead of arbitration.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing hello@airplein.com with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out,” your name, and the email address on your account. If you opt out, or if a court finds this arbitration agreement unenforceable as to a claim, that claim must be brought exclusively in the state courts of Colorado located in Jefferson County or Denver County, or in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, and you and Airplein consent to venue there.

17. Termination

You may stop using the Services or delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms (including by posting objectionable content), if required by law, or if we discontinue the Services. Where practical, we will give you notice before termination not caused by your violation. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 3, 9, and 12–16) survive.

18. Apple App Store Terms

The app is licensed, not sold, to you. These Terms are between you and Airplein, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. To the extent any warranty applies and the app fails to conform to it, you may notify Apple and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Airplein, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the app, including product-liability, regulatory, consumer-protection, and intellectual-property claims. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Your use of the app must comply with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo or designated as a terrorist-supporting country, and that you are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

19. Changes to These Terms and the Services

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the app or by email before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. We may also modify, add, or remove features of the Services at any time.

20. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Airplein regarding the Services. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We may provide notices to you by email or through the Services.
