Terms of Use
Last updated: May 2026
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of SimRoster's website, application, and related services, including any content, features, and functionality we offer. By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree to these terms in their entirety, you must not access or use our services. We recommend that you read these terms carefully and keep a copy for your records.
1. Acceptance and Eligibility
By creating an account or using our services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. You must be at least 13 years of age to use our services. If you are under 18, you should use our services only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. You represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement and that you are not prohibited from using our services under applicable law. If you are using our services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these terms.
We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated terms on our website or through our application. Your continued use after such posting constitutes acceptance of the modified terms. If you do not accept the modified terms, you must stop using our services and may close your account. It is your responsibility to review these terms periodically for changes.
2. Description of Services
SimRoster is a web-based subscription service for flight simulation. It helps you discover and fly realistic real-world routes and, if you choose, run a structured airline career. Paid access includes the full feature set described on our website and in the app at the time you subscribe. Core capabilities include:
- Flight Browser: browse and search thousands of real airline routes with filters for airline, aircraft, region, haul type, and more; bookmark routes for later; schedule personal flights on your calendar.
- Career Mode: join a simulated airline with contracts, dispatch assignments, rank progression from First Officer to Captain, type ratings, messages, and dispatch-reviewed PIREPs before flight time credits to your logbook.
- Logbook and tools: a unified logbook for career and browser flights, METAR and weather helpers, dispatch requests (including beta features), crew ID, and related planning tools.
SimRoster runs in your browser on phone, tablet, or computer. It works alongside flight simulators you already use (such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane, and others). We do not install into or control your simulator. The scope and availability of features, airlines, and routes may change over time. We do not guarantee that any particular feature, airline, or route will remain available indefinitely. We may add, remove, or modify features with or without notice.
Our services are for entertainment and simulation purposes only. They are not a substitute for real-world training, certification, or professional advice. You are responsible for your use of our services and for ensuring that your use complies with all applicable laws and regulations. We do not provide any real-world aviation training, and nothing in our services should be relied upon for operational or safety decisions in real aviation.
Access requires a compatible device, internet connection, and an up-to-date browser. We do not guarantee compatibility with all devices or operating systems. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment or services needed to access SimRoster. We may make beta, preview, or experimental features available; such features are provided "as is" and may be discontinued or changed without notice.
3. Account Registration and Security
You need an account to use most features. You may register with email and password or, where offered, sign in with Google. When you use Google sign-in, we receive basic profile information from Google (such as your name and email) as permitted by your Google account settings and Google's policies. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update it as needed. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We are not liable for loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your credentials or from unauthorized use of your account.
We may suspend or terminate your account if we believe you have violated these terms or for any other reason at our discretion. You may close your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at hello@simroster.com. Upon termination, your right to use our services ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will survive.
4. Subscription, Pricing, and Payment
Full access to SimRoster requires a paid plan unless we state otherwise on our website or in the app. There is no time-limited free trial at this time. You may create an account and explore limited areas of the service; subscribing unlocks the full route catalog, progression, airline themes, and related paid features.
Current subscription pricing (new subscribers): $5.99 per month or $59 per year, billed through Stripe. The price shown at checkout is the price you agree to pay for that subscription. One plan includes all features; we do not sell separate feature tiers for consumer pilots.
Grandfathered monthly pricing: subscribers who were already on a monthly plan before our April 2026 price change may continue at $4.99 per month for as long as that subscription remains active and is not cancelled. If a grandfathered subscription is cancelled, any new subscription is at the then-current price (currently $5.99 per month unless we change it).
Lifetime access (limited offer): from time to time we may offer a one-time lifetime purchase (currently advertised at $49.99 USD when available) that grants permanent access without recurring subscription fees, subject to inventory limits and the terms shown at purchase. Lifetime offers may be discontinued or sold out at any time. Lifetime access is tied to your account and is not transferable.
Pricing, plans, and promotional offers may change for new purchases at any time. We will show applicable prices before you complete checkout. Payment is processed by Stripe and is subject to Stripe's terms. By subscribing or purchasing lifetime access, you agree to pay all fees for your chosen plan. You are responsible for any taxes that may apply in your jurisdiction.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel before the end of the current billing period. You may cancel at any time through your account settings or Stripe's customer billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain access until then. We do not provide refunds for partial periods or unused time after cancellation.
4.1 No Refunds
All fees paid for subscriptions and lifetime access are non-refundable. We do not offer refunds for any reason, including but not limited to: partial billing periods, unused subscription time, cancellation of your subscription, change of mind, dissatisfaction with the service, or failure to use the service. This no-refund policy applies regardless of how much of the subscription period you have used. By subscribing or purchasing lifetime access, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this no-refund policy and that you will not be entitled to any refund once payment has been processed. The only exception is where a refund is expressly required by applicable law in your jurisdiction; in such cases, your statutory rights remain unaffected. If you have any questions about billing or cancellation, contact us at hello@simroster.com before you pay.
If payment fails, we may suspend or terminate your access until payment is received. We may change subscription offerings, pricing, or billing practices for new purchases. Price changes apply to subsequent billing periods or new checkouts as described at the time of the change.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree to use our services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these terms. You must not use our services to violate any law, infringe the rights of others, transmit harmful or malicious content, attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or other accounts, interfere with the operation of our services, or use our services in any way that could damage, disable, or overburden our infrastructure. You must not use our services to harass, abuse, or harm others or to distribute spam or unsolicited communications.
You must not create multiple accounts for abusive purposes, scrape or harvest data from our services without permission, or use automated means to access our services in a manner that violates these terms or our technical documentation. We may take action, including suspension or termination of your account, if we determine that you have violated acceptable use standards. We may also report illegal activity to the appropriate authorities.
Prohibited conduct includes, without limitation: impersonating another person or entity; using the service for any commercial purpose other than your personal use as a subscriber; reverse engineering, decompiling, or disassembling any part of the service except where expressly permitted by law; circumventing any access controls or usage limits; introducing viruses, malware, or other harmful code; or using the service in any manner that could negatively affect other users or the integrity of the platform. We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations and to cooperate with law enforcement where required.
6. Third-Party Trademarks, Airline Names, and Logos

We do not warrant that our services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any content on our services. We do not warrant that defects will be corrected or that our services or the servers that make them available are free of viruses or other harmful components.
SimRoster is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any flight simulator, flight simulation software, or platform (including but not limited to Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane, Infinite Flight, or similar products). Our services are for flight simulation and entertainment only. They are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representative of any real airline, aviation authority, or training organization. Nothing in our services constitutes professional, legal, or aviation advice. You use our services at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties and assume no liability for any damages arising from your use of our services. See our Disclaimer for additional information.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or in connection with your use of our services or these terms, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
In no event shall our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to our services or these terms exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or one hundred dollars, whichever is greater. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in such jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. The limitations in this section apply regardless of whether the claim is based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other theory.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with your use of our services, your violation of these terms, your violation of any law or the rights of a third party, or any content you submit to our services. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, at your expense, and you agree to cooperate with our defense. You will not settle any claim that affects our rights or imposes obligations on us without our prior written consent.
11. Dispute Resolution
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms or our services shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of a recognized arbitration body, except that either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. You waive any right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding. Nothing in this section shall prevent either party from seeking relief in small claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction.
These terms and any dispute arising hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which SimRoster operates, without regard to conflict of law principles. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of that jurisdiction for the purpose of any proceeding related to these terms or our services.
12. Force Majeure
We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these terms where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, riot, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, or shortages of transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials. If a force majeure event continues for an extended period, we may suspend or terminate the affected part of the service upon reasonable notice where permitted by law.
13. Export Control and Compliance
You may not use, export, re-export, or transfer the service or any portion thereof in violation of any applicable export control or sanctions laws and regulations. You represent that you are not located in, incorporated in, or a resident of any country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions, and that you are not on any list of prohibited or restricted parties. You are responsible for complying with all applicable local, national, and international laws in your use of our services.
14. Severability
If any provision of these terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of these terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the parties' intent, or if that is not possible, severed from these terms.
15. General Provisions
These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding our services and supersede any prior agreements. If any provision of these terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. You may not assign or transfer these terms or your account without our prior written consent. We may assign these terms without restriction. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created by these terms.
We may provide notices to you by email, through our application, or by posting on our website. Notices are deemed given when sent or posted. You are responsible for keeping your contact information current. For questions about these terms, contact us at hello@simroster.com. We will respond to reasonable inquiries in accordance with our operational capacity.
No waiver of any term or condition of these terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term. Our failure to assert any right or provision under these terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Headings in these terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. These terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights. We may make available translations of these terms for convenience; in the event of a conflict, the English version shall prevail.
