Terms of Service
Effective: May 2026
These Terms govern your use of CertiWatt (“the Service”). By using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. CertiWatt is operated by an independent developer and is not represented by legal counsel; these Terms are written in plain English by the operator and describe how the Service actually works.
1. Service description
The Service produces informational verdicts on whether a specific lithium-ion power bank may be carried on a specific commercial flight, based on publicly available aviation regulations, airline policies, manufacturer specifications, and recall notices. Each verdict cites its sources. See the Disclaimer for the limits of this Service.
2. No warranty
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. CertiWatt makes no warranty, express or implied, regarding accuracy, completeness, fitness for purpose, or non-infringement. Specifically, CertiWatt does not warrant that any verdict will be accepted by airline or security staff, that any cited regulation is current, or that the Service will be available without interruption.
3. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, CertiWatt’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the fees you paid to CertiWatt in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) two hundred US dollars. CertiWatt is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of revenue, loss of devices, or travel disruption.
4. Acceptable use
- Use the Service for personal travel planning or B2B integration under a written agreement.
- Do not scrape the Service or attempt to reverse-engineer the rule corpus beyond what the public API permits.
- Do not represent CertiWatt verdicts as official regulatory determinations.
- Do not bypass rate limits, security mechanisms, or authentication.
5. API and partner integrations
- Unless a written agreement says otherwise, API access is experimental, rate-limited, and may change or be suspended to protect the Service or its data sources.
- Partners must not remove or obscure source citations, ruleset version, verdict ID, or the final-authority disclaimer when presenting a verdict to users, support agents, or downstream systems.
- Partners must not market or display CertiWatt outputs as guaranteed approval, official certification, legal advice, or a substitute for airline, airport, security, or regulator decisions.
- Partners are responsible for their own user interface, customer communications, logs, privacy notices, and any personal data they add before sending requests to CertiWatt.
- Cached verdicts must not be presented as current unless the cache duration, refresh behavior, and stale-data handling are allowed by a written agreement.
