You retain ownership of the content you post on Cru, including photos, videos, text, logbook entries, and other materials ("User Content"). By posting User Content on Cru, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform such content in connection with the Services and Cru's business operations, including for purposes of promoting and redistributing part or all of the Services in any media formats and through any media channels.

This license continues even if you stop using the Services, but you may terminate this license for specific content by deleting such content from the Services. However, content that has been shared with others may continue to appear if they have not deleted it.

Platform Content

All intellectual property on the platform, including but not limited to logos, trademarks, service marks, trade names, design, user interface, proprietary code, algorithms, and features, is owned by or licensed to Cru Social Inc. You may not use, copy, reproduce, modify, or create derivative works of such content without our express written permission.

5. Aviation and Logbook Disclaimers

Cru is not a certifying authority, regulatory body, employer, or official recordkeeper for aviation purposes. Any aviation-related posts, endorsements, qualifications, flight times, logbook entries, or professional information shared on the platform are user-generated and not verified, certified, or endorsed by Cru Social Inc.

Important Aviation-Specific Disclaimers:

• Logbook Data: Cru's logbook functionality is designed to help pilots maintain FAA-compliant records under 14 CFR §61.51. However, Cru does not certify, validate, or guarantee the accuracy of any flight time, experience, or logbook data entered by users. Users remain solely responsible for ensuring their logbook entries are accurate, complete, and meet all applicable regulatory requirements. We recommend maintaining backup copies of your flight records.
• No Regulatory Compliance: The Services do not substitute for pilot certificates, medical certificates, or any other regulatory documentation. Users must independently verify all aviation credentials and maintain compliance with all applicable regulations.
• Professional Information: Information about employment, training, certifications, ratings, and qualifications posted by users is self-reported and unverified. Users must exercise independent judgment and conduct their own due diligence before relying on any aviation-related information shared via the platform.
• Safety Disclaimer: Cru does not provide aviation safety advice, flight planning services, weather briefings, or operational guidance. Users should rely only on official FAA sources, certified flight instructors, and approved aviation resources for safety-critical information.

6. Third-Party Services and Integrations

The Services may integrate with or contain links to third-party services, websites, or applications. Cru is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of service of any third-party services.

YOU AND CRU AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Exceptions to Arbitration

Either party may bring a lawsuit in court solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or infringement of intellectual property rights without first engaging in the informal dispute resolution or arbitration process described above.
