Terms and licence

1. The seller

Airside is sold through Paddle.com Market Ltd as merchant of record. Your purchase contract, your invoice and your payment relationship are with Paddle, under Paddle's buyer terms.

The licence to use the software is between you and MELİKBER GÜNGÖR YAZILIM, the sole proprietorship of Melikber Güngör, registered in Istanbul, Türkiye, trading as Airside. That is what the rest of this page covers. The imprint carries our full details.

2. What you are buying

A perpetual licence to Airside, an air traffic control simulator for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. It is not a subscription and there is no recurring charge.

Airside requires Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which you must already own and have installed.

The free demo. An account that has not bought Airside may use it free for one hour, counted from the first time it opens on a computer. Each computer gets one demo, whichever e-mail address is used on it. The demo ends on its own and nothing is charged.

3. What the licence allows

You may install and use Airside for your own use, on one computer, and reinstall it as often as you need. You may publish videos, streams and screenshots made with Airside, including commercially, without further permission.

A licence runs on one computer, and your account page shows which one. If you move to a different computer, or the one you have is replaced, has failed, or has been lost or stolen, write to support from the e-mail address on the account and we will put it right, once in any twelve months.

Updates to Airside are included and are not charged for. We do not commit to a particular feature or a particular date. If we later release something substantial enough to be a product of its own, such as a further controller position, it may be sold separately; the licence you hold is not affected by that and keeps its own updates.

4. What the licence does not allow

• Sharing, reselling, renting, sublicensing or transferring your licence key, or using one licence to let other people run Airside.
• Circumventing, disabling or modifying the licence check, or assisting anyone else to.
• Reverse engineering, decompiling or disassembling the software, except to the extent the law where you live permits regardless of this clause.
• Redistributing the software or any part of it, including the voice and speech models it ships with.
• Removing or altering any notice identifying us as the author.

The software is licensed, not sold. All rights not granted above are reserved.

5. Internet connection

Airside verifies your licence with our server when it starts, and will not open if it cannot reach it. A session already running is not interrupted by a brief loss of connection.

6. Ending a licence

Your licence ends if it is refunded, if the payment is reversed, if it is shared or the licence check is circumvented, or if you ask us to close your account. We may also end it where Airside is used unlawfully.

7. Warranty

We warrant that Airside performs as described on this site. Beyond that, and to the extent permitted by law, the software is provided as is. We do not warrant that it is free of faults, that it is fit for a particular purpose you have in mind, or that it is compatible with every add-on, aircraft or scenery package.

Airside is entertainment software. It is not a training device and must not be relied on for real aviation.

8. Liability

Nothing here limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.

Otherwise, and to the extent permitted by law, our total liability in connection with Airside is limited to the amount you paid for it, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss.

9. Problem reports

If you send us a problem report, you permit us to open it and use what you wrote and the files that came with it to diagnose the problem you reported. It is used for nothing else and is deleted after 60 days. What a report contains is set out in the privacy policy.

10. Changes

We may change these terms for future purchases and will update the date above. Rights under a licence already bought are not withdrawn retroactively.

11. Third parties

Airside is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Microsoft Corporation, Asobo Studio, or any airline, airport or aircraft manufacturer whose name or livery may appear. Microsoft Flight Simulator is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation. Airline names, codes and liveries identify real operators for the purpose of simulation.

Airside includes open source software. The licences of those components are supplied with the application and continue to apply to them.
