01Who we are

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Summit Jet website, our messaging channels and any flight we arrange for you. “Summit Jet,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Summit Jet LLC. By using the site, sending us a request or confirming a booking, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

02We are an air charter broker

Summit Jet LLC is an air charter broker and not a direct air carrier. We do not own or operate aircraft and we do not have operational control of any flight.

  • Every flight we arrange is operated by an independent air carrier holding an FAA Part 135 certificate (or the foreign equivalent for international flights).
  • That operator has full operational control: aircraft, crew, maintenance, safety, weather and go/no-go decisions.
  • Before you pay, we tell you the name of the operator that will perform your flight, as required by U.S. Department of Transportation rules (14 CFR Part 295).
  • When you book, you also agree to the operator’s own terms and conditions of carriage.

03Our services

We help you find and book:

  • Empty Legs: one-way repositioning flights sold at a reduced price. Routes and times are set by the operator and can change or be cancelled at short notice if the aircraft is needed for its main trip.
  • Shared Flights: a seat on a private flight shared with other passengers. A shared flight may need a minimum number of passengers and can be rescheduled or cancelled if that minimum is not reached.
  • Discovery Flights: an introductory flight in a training aircraft with a certified flight instructor. The instructor is pilot in command at all times and may shorten or cancel the flight for safety, weather or regulatory reasons.
  • Private Charter: the whole aircraft for your own route and schedule.

04Quotes and prices

Prices shown on the site, including the examples in “Four ways to fly private,” are estimates for illustration. They are not offers and are not guaranteed. A price becomes binding only when we send you a written quote for a specific flight and you accept it.

  • Quotes are based on availability at the time they are issued and can expire or change until confirmed.
  • Unless a quote says otherwise, it may exclude items such as de-icing, international handling, customs, permits, catering requests, Wi-Fi, overnight crew costs and extra waiting time.
  • Applicable federal excise tax, segment fees and airport fees will be shown on your quote or invoice.

05Booking and payment

  • A booking is confirmed only when you sign or accept the flight agreement and we receive payment as stated in it.
  • Unless your agreement says otherwise, payment is due in full before departure. Short-notice bookings may require immediate payment.
  • We accept bank wire, ACH and major cards. Card payments may carry a processing fee, which we will show you before you pay.
  • If payment is not received on time, we and the operator may cancel the booking.
  • Extra costs that arise during the trip at your request (for example, a changed itinerary or added waiting time) will be invoiced after the flight.

06Changes and cancellations

Each booking has its own change and cancellation terms, which are set out in your flight agreement and depend on the operator and the type of flight. As a general guide:

  • Private charters usually carry cancellation charges that increase as the departure date gets closer, up to 100% of the price.
  • Empty legs and shared seats are often non-refundable once confirmed, because they are sold at a reduced price.
  • If an operator cancels for a reason within its control and we cannot find a comparable replacement, you will receive a refund of the amount you paid for that flight.
  • Delays or cancellations caused by weather, air traffic control, airport closures, government action, mechanical safety issues or other events outside the operator’s control are not grounds for compensation beyond what the operator’s terms allow.

Your signed flight agreement always takes priority over this general guide.

07Passengers, baggage and documents

  • You must provide the full legal names, dates of birth and any required travel document details for all passengers before departure.
  • Each passenger is responsible for valid passports, visas, health documents and permission to enter every country on the route.
  • Baggage limits depend on the aircraft. Tell us in advance about oversized items, sports equipment or pets.
  • Hazardous materials, illegal substances and weapons not permitted by law are prohibited.
  • The operator and crew may refuse boarding to anyone who is intoxicated, disruptive, a safety risk or without proper documents. No refund is owed in that case.
  • Minors must travel with a parent or guardian, or with written consent where required.

08Using our website

You may use the site for personal, lawful purposes. You agree not to:

  • send false information or make requests on behalf of someone without their permission;
  • copy, scrape, resell or commercially exploit the site or its content without our written consent;
  • interfere with the site’s security or upload malicious code.

Information on the site is general and may change without notice. We work to keep it accurate but do not guarantee that it is complete or current.

09Intellectual property

The Summit Jet name, logo, text, designs and photos on this site belong to Summit Jet LLC or are used under license. You may not use them without our written permission. Aircraft manufacturer names and logos belong to their owners and are shown for identification only.

10Third-party services

Flights, ground transportation, catering and other services are provided by independent third parties. We are not responsible for their content, policies or performance.

11Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • Our services are provided “as is.” We do not give warranties beyond those required by law.
  • Because the operator has operational control, Summit Jet is not liable for the performance of the flight, including delays, diversions, injury or loss of baggage. Those matters are governed by the operator’s terms and applicable law, including international conventions where they apply.
  • We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, such as missed connections, lost business or lost profits.
  • Our total liability for any claim relating to a booking is limited to the amount you paid to Summit Jet for that booking.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

12Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Summit Jet LLC and its members, staff and partners against claims, losses and costs arising from your breach of these Terms, your violation of the law, or the conduct of passengers travelling under your booking.

13Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida and applicable U.S. federal law. Any dispute will be handled exclusively by the state or federal courts located in Broward County, Florida, and you agree to their jurisdiction. Before starting any legal action, please contact us so we can try to resolve the issue informally.

14Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Bookings already confirmed remain subject to the Terms in force when they were confirmed. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
