Commute Magic — Terms of Service
Last updated 2026-09-07.
Commute Magic (the "Service") is a software tool that estimates the probability that a commuting airline crewmember reaches report time, using public schedule and weather data. The Service is operated by its developer (the "Operator"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. The Service is information, not advice
Every number, verdict, alert and recommendation the Service shows is a statistical estimate built from historical schedules, weather forecasts and third-party data. It is not a guarantee, a dispatch release, a crew scheduling instruction, an employer communication, or operational or professional advice of any kind. Flights are cancelled, delayed, retimed, diverted and oversold in ways no model sees. The Service does not know seat availability, loads, jumpseat priority, your employer's rules, or whether you will be boarded.
2. You decide, and you carry the consequences
You are solely responsible for your own commute, your report time, your compliance with your employer's policies and applicable regulations, and every decision you make about them.
You agree that you use the Service at your own risk, that you will not rely on it as your only source of information about a flight or a duty, and that you will confirm your duty, report time and travel arrangements through your employer's official channels. Commuting to a duty assignment carries inherent risk that no software can remove, and you assume that risk.
3. No warranty
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", with all faults, and without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of accuracy, reliability, availability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
The Operator does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free; that any prediction, alert or notification will be correct or will be delivered; that defects will be corrected; or that the Service will remain available at all. Notifications depend on your device, its settings, your carrier and third-party delivery services, none of which the Operator controls.
4. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator shall not be liable to you or to anyone else for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of pay, wages, per diem, employment, seniority, certification, reputation, opportunity or data, or for any disciplinary action, missed report, missed flight, missed duty, hotel, travel or other expense, however caused and under any theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator's total liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the Service in the twelve months before the claim arose, or (b) ten US dollars (US$10).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions the above limitations apply to the fullest extent the law allows, and nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.
5. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Operator from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, your commuting or duty decisions, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any law, regulation or employer policy.
6. Third-party data and services
Schedule, weather and flight-status inputs come from public sources (including the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the FAA and NOAA) and from licensed third-party providers. Their accuracy, completeness and availability are theirs, not the Operator's. The Service is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for any airline, the FAA, the DOT, any data provider, or any employer.
7. Your account and acceptable use
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service, and you are responsible for everything that happens under your login. Keep your password private. You may sign in with a password or with Google; signing in with Google on an account that already has a password clears that password and its recovery code, and signs out every other session. You may delete your account at any time in Settings; deletion is immediate and described in the Privacy Policy. You may not scrape, reverse engineer, overload, or attempt to access other users' data or any part of the Service you are not authorised to use. The Operator may suspend or terminate any account, at any time and for any reason, including abuse of the Service.
What other crew see. When you confirm the flight — or the one-stop routing — you plan to take, the Service records it and shows other crewmembers planning the same route on the same day a count — how many people, how many pilots, how many flight attendants, and how many from each airline; each leg of a routing counts on its own flight. Nothing is recorded until you confirm it. It never shows your name, email, account or any other identifier, and there is no messaging or contact path between users. You are responsible for what you choose to record; if you would rather not appear in a count, do not confirm that flight, or delete the day. Do not use these counts to identify, track, harass or report on a colleague, or to infer anyone's duty assignment for any employment purpose — doing so is a breach of these terms and may cost you your account.
8. Paid features
The Service has a free tier and a paid Pro subscription. The free tier covers planning a commute by hand, the duties calendar, and your track record. Pro adds briefings pushed to your phone before each decision deadline, the deadline alarm, and the live schedule board. The model and the probabilities are identical on both tiers; Pro changes what is automated and how fresh the schedule evidence is, not the accuracy of any number.
Pro is billed through Google Play Billing, monthly or yearly, at the price shown in the app before you buy — prices are set in Google Play, not by the Operator. Google Play handles payment entirely; the Operator never receives your card number or billing address. Cancel any time in Google Play's subscriptions page; cancelling stops the next renewal and does not refund the current period. Refunds follow Google Play's own policy, not a separate policy of the Operator's. The Operator may change, add or remove what each tier includes, free or paid, at any time, and will give notice before removing something the Pro tier already includes.
9. Changes and termination
The Operator may modify these terms. The "last updated" date above changes with them, and material changes will be announced in the app. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept it. The Operator may modify, suspend or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice, and shall not be liable for doing so.
10. Disputes, governing law, and class-action waiver
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service or these terms shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court. You and the Operator each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding. You may opt out of this arbitration clause by emailing the contact address below within 30 days of first accepting these terms; opting out does not affect any other part of these terms.
11. General
If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and the Operator about the Service. The Operator's failure to enforce a term is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these terms; the Operator may.
