WHO CAN FLY.
- Flyers may be as young as three (3) years of age. There is no upper age limit.
- All flyers must be in good health and physical condition.
- To provide a safe experience for flyers and instructors, iFLY may not be able to accommodate any flyer who weigh over two hundred sixty (260) pounds; additional evaluation by an iFLY staff member upon check-in will be required to determine whether the flyer can be accommodated.
- Children under eighteen (18) years of age need to have a parent or guardian to sign their Waiver (defined below).
- You should not fly if you have a current or prior head, neck, back, or shoulder injury, heart condition, or any other condition that may impede your ability to take part in physical activity or increase the risk of injury.
- You cannot fly if your weight exceeds three hundred (300) pounds, you are pregnant, or have hard casts or hard prosthetics that cannot be removed.
- High flights (ability to fly higher and faster with an instructor) are available to add to the flight experience for flyers who weigh two hundred sixty (260) pounds or less and may not be available to guests with other flight restrictions.
- Management reserves the right to refuse service to anyone at any time. Additional restrictions may apply.
WAIVER.
All interested flyers, or their parent or legal guardian (as applicable), must complete a legal contract with iFLY in order to fly (“ Waiver ”). This Waiver ensures all flyers understand the nature of the sport of body flight, and the risks involved. All information obtained through the Waiver is used solely for this purpose and will not be shared by iFLY with any third party, except where authorized by the flyer or their parent or legal guardian (as applicable), or otherwise in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Customers who are concerned about supplying such information for any reason should discuss this with iFLY prior to making any purchase or reservation. Refusal to complete the Waiver will result in the inability to participate and forfeiture of any flight purchases, which are non-refundable.
RESERVATIONS.
You must arrive on time for your scheduled reservation. We recommend that you arrive 10 minutes early to your reservation start . You may be in a group with other individuals and the experience will begin promptly upon the scheduled reservation time. Participants who arrive late to their reservation time may not be able to fly and will not be eligible for a refund. In order to fly, the customer is responsible for arriving on time to check in and must:
- arrive in appropriate physical condition;
- arrive unimpaired;
- arrive in appropriate clothing, including properly fitting lace-up athletic shoes and clothing that can fit below a jump suit;
- provide a valid government-issued identification card or passport;
- complete a Waiver and Preflight video;
- arrive on time and be aware that our schedule rarely permits the rebooking of missed appointments.

See: (iFLYworld.com/terms) for additional Terms and annual holiday blackout periods.
FLIGHT RESCHEDULING/REFUNDS.
iFLY’s reservation system functions similarly to that of an airline. Upon making a reservation, we secure the spot for the designated individual, preventing its availability to other paying guests. To ensure an optimal experience for all our patrons, we have established the following rescheduling and refund policy.
Small Groups & Single Flyers:
- Guests must contact iFLY at least 48 hours before the reservation time in order to reschedule or refund the reservation.
- Without 48-hours’ notice, reservations are nonrefundable and cannot be rescheduled to a different date or time.
- Customers with repeated cancellations or no-shows may lose flight privileges.
- iFLY cannot be held responsible for missed reservations as a result of extenuating circumstances such as transportation, weather, nor any other reason outside of the control of iFLY, nor for expenses related to scheduled reservations.
- You must arrive on time for your scheduled reservation. Participants who arrive late to their reservation time may not be able to fly and will not be eligible for a refund.
Groups and Events: The 48-hour refund policy only applies to reservations of 5 or less flyers.
- Reservation requests for 6 or more flyers may require a deposit to book.
- The remaining balance must be paid no later than 7 days prior to the event.
- Reservations that cancel prior to 7 days before the event date are eligible for a refund.
- Cancellations within 7 days or less from the event will forfeit all payments made and are not eligible for a refund.
- iFLY cannot be held responsible for missed reservations as a result of extenuating circumstances such as transportation, weather, nor any other reason outside of the control of iFLY, nor for expenses related to scheduled reservations.
Camps and Large Block Reservations Rescheduling/Refund: The 48-hour refund policy only applies to skydivers/experienced flyers for block reservations of less than 2 hours. For reservations with 2 or more hours reserved, or consecutive reservations over a month or more, the cancellation policy is 7-days in advance of the first flight for a refund.
- Camp coaches should provide the final camp schedule to the tunnel coordinator one week before the camp begins.
- Coaches are responsible for their booked time. If a student cancels outside of the cancellation window, the coach will not receive a refund.
- It is recommended that coaches share the cancellation policy with their students when the time is booked.
- Reservations rescheduled within 7 days of original reservation date are no longer eligible for a refund.
- Customers with repeated cancellations or no-shows may lose flight privileges.
- iFLY cannot be held responsible for missed reservations because of extenuating circumstances such as transportation, weather, nor any other reason outside of the control of iFLY, nor for expenses related to scheduled reservations.
UNEXPECTED MAINTENANCE.
We do our best to ensure all reservations are honored. However, iFLY is a mechanical device that may occasionally require unexpected maintenance. Reservations cancelled by iFLY may be refunded or rescheduled based on availability and customer preference. Rescheduling of Tunnel Time cancelled by iFLY may or may not be available at the rates and/or schedules which are compatible with the customer’s schedule. iFLY will make every effort to reschedule under the same terms wherever possible.
PERSONAL ITEMS AND USE OF LOCKERS.
Safety of customers, instructors, and the equipment will require all personal items be removed prior to your flights, including any and all jewelry, bags, wallets, coins, papers, tissues; in short, nothing can remain on the flyer’s person except shoes, clothing, and the supplied flight gear. For the convenience of our customers, iFLY provides lockers in which personal items can be stored. iFLY will not be responsible for the loss or theft of any items on the premises, including from the lockers. We encourage our customers to leave all items of value at home or with a trusted spectator during flight sessions.
FLIGHT TIME VS. TUNNEL TIME.
Customers may fly for the amount of time indicated for the particular activity purchased, which includes the time it takes to walk between the staging area and flight chamber before and after flight (“ Flight Time ”). “Block Time,” “Experienced Flyer,” and “Skydiver” time are called “ Tunnel Time .” Tunnel Time begins when the doors close and ends when the doors open. System start-up, shutdown, and flyer transition time will reduce the amount of useable Flight Time. Use and sharing of Tunnel Time is the responsibility of the purchaser and/or flyers. iFLY and its instructors and coaches will make every effort to maximize the useable Flight Time but is not responsible for any unusable time. Any Disputes regarding the amount of Tunnel Time delivered must be made in writing, and iFLY will make every effort to review complaints using the video recording system (see Section 12, above, for additional information). Regarding such Disputes submitted in writing by customer to iFLY:
- if iFLY deems it valid, it will compensate the purchasers/and or flyers by with additional Tunnel Time and/or a partial refund at its sole discretion; a complaint is considered valid if Tunnel Time delivered is more than five seconds less than the Tunnel Time purchased, according to the video recording;
- if iFLY deems it invalid, the party who submitted it will be responsible for an administrative review fee.
ACCURACY OF PRICING AND ONLINE BOOKINGS.
We do our best to provide accurate pricing information in our advertisements, web site, quotes, and online booking system; however, we disclaim responsibility for any errors included therein. All sales are subject to current pricing and review by management.
CREDIT ON ACCOUNT.
- Customer Responsibility. It is the customer’s responsibility to retain all information related to “ Credit on Account ” (for example, Gift Certificates, Gift Cards, Flight Passes, Flight Cards) and/or the associated serial numbers, as applicable. Please treat these items as if they were cash. Lost Credit on Account, serial numbers, and/or certain other related information (as applicable) cannot be replaced or redeemed. Customer is advised to safeguard any computer login information, passwords, gift certificates, gift certificate codes, or any other identifier that is linked to their customer account and/or reservations to avoid unauthorized use of their account. iFLY is not responsible for any unauthorized use of your account. Use of any of the information to book, change, or cancel any reservations by the customer or any other person is the responsibility of the customer.
- No Credit on Account Refunds. iFLY does not refund Credit on Account. Voided purchases, whether due to being lost in the mail, a cancelled sale, or an incomplete payment, have no value and will not be honored under any circumstances. Chargebacks, stopped checks, or any other invalid or incomplete payment will result in the voiding of the corresponding purchase(s).
SHIPPING POLICY.
All shipped orders will be sent via the United States Postal Service First Class Mail unless otherwise stated or selected during the order process. iFLY cannot be responsible for undelivered or delayed mail.
REFUND POLICY.
Purchases of Flight Time, Credit on Account, and digital recordings of flights are non-refundable unless otherwise specified in the terms of a particular offer. Unopened merchandise in new condition may be returned for a refund within fifteen (15) days of purchase. Special order items are non-refundable. Refunds of credit/debit card purchases will be refunded to the same credit/debit card. Cash purchases will be refunded by check via US mail sent within fifteen (15) days of the return.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION.
- Application. This Arbitration Agreement (defined below) only applies to you if your country of residence or establishment is the United States. If your country of residence or establishment is not the United States, and you nevertheless attempt to bring any legal claim against iFLY in the United States, this Arbitration Agreement will apply for determination of the threshold issue of whether this Section 12 applies to you, and all other threshold determinations, including residency, arbitrability, venue, and applicable law.
- Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. iFLY is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly Dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom this Section 12 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with iFLY’s customer service team (described in paragraph 12.C, below, and if necessary, (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“ AAA ”). You and iFLY each retain the right to seek resolution of the Dispute in small claims court, if applicable, as an alternative to arbitration.
- Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Before initiating arbitration, you and iFLY each agree to notify the other party of any Dispute in writing (“ Notice of Dispute ”) and attempt in good faith to negotiate an informal resolution. Any Notice of Dispute you send to us must include: (i) your name; (ii) your residence address; (iii) your username (if applicable); (iv) your email address or phone number; (v) a detailed description of the Dispute; and (vi) the relief you seek. Your Notice of Dispute must be sent to legal@iflyworld.com at least thirty (30) days prior to initiating arbitration. Before we commence arbitration, we will send you a Notice of Dispute to the email address you use in connection with the Service, or other appropriate means. If we are unable to resolve a Dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is sent, you or we may commence arbitration by filing a written demand for arbitration (available at www.adr.org) with the AAA and providing a copy to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules (available at www.adr.org).
- Agreement to Arbitrate. Except as provided in Section 12.C, above, you and iFLY mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or any use of the iFLY Service or any Content (regardless of whether it arises during or after your use of the Service is terminated), whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory (collectively, “ Disputes ”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “ Arbitration Agreement ”). Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury and may limit the amount of discovery permitted as compared to what may be allowed in court. Arbitration can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, which are subject to the limitations on liability provided in Section 9, above. If there is a Dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and iFLY agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.
- Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. Despite Section 12.D, above, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either you or us to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) any claim or cause of action seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack); (iii) a request for the remedy of public injunctive relief; or (iv) file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim. You and iFLY agree that the remedy of public injunctive relief will proceed after the arbitration of all arbitrable claims, remedies, or causes of action, and will be stayed pending the outcome of the arbitration pursuant to section 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act.
- Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act governs all substantive and procedural interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by the arbitrator in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “ AAA Rules “) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. In order to initiate arbitration, a completed written demand (available at www.adr.org) must be filed with the AAA and provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA rules.
- Modification to AAA Rules – Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, iFLY agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option: (i) in Travis County, Texas; or (ii) remotely, via phone or video conference. If the amount in controversy is five thousand dollars ($5,000) or less, the parties agree to proceed solely on the submission of documents to the arbitrator.
- Modification to AAA Rules – Attorney’s Fees and Costs. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules. Each you and us will be responsible for our own attorney’s fees, except either party may make a request that the arbitrator award attorneys’ fees and costs upon proving that the other party has asserted a claim, crossclaim or defense that is groundless in fact or law, brought in bad faith or for the purpose of harassment, or is otherwise frivolous, as allowed by applicable law and the AAA Rules.
- Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief allowed by law or the AAA Rules, but declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
- Jury Trial Waiver. You and iFLY acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.
- No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and iFLY acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative or consolidated proceeding. Unless we agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in this Section 12.K as to any claim, cause of action or requested remedy, then only that claim, cause of action or requested remedy will be severed from this Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that a claim, cause of action or requested remedy is severed pursuant to this Section 12.K, then you and we agree that the claims, causes of action or requested remedies that are not subject to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator.
- Opt-out. You have thirty (30) days to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement after agreeing to these Terms.
