Last updated: February 27, 2026
These terms apply to independent drone pilots who apply to join or use HireDronePilot.
1. Platform Role and Relationship
HireDronePilot is an intro marketplace and a facilitator and record keeper only. Nothing in these terms creates employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture between HireDronePilot and an independent drone pilot.
2. Independent Contractor Status
Each drone pilot is an independent contractor and contracts directly with clients. HireDronePilot is not a party to drone pilot-client contracts.
3. Drone Pilot Responsibilities

- Insurance validity and suitability for each job.
- Permissions, flight planning, and RAMS.
- Service delivery standards, timelines, and output quality.

HireDronePilot is not liable for drone pilot-client disputes, scope disagreements, workmanship claims, delays, cancellations, or payment outcomes. Quotes, contracts, and disputes must be resolved directly between client and drone pilot.
