Terms of Use & Affiliate Disclosure

Effective date: March 20, 2026 · Last updated: March 20, 2026

Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using MiddAir at middairphotography.com (the "Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1. Nature of the site — content aggregation

MiddAir is a content aggregation and curation service. We do not produce original news, editorial content, or investigative journalism. The Site automatically collects and organizes publicly available content — specifically, article headlines, summaries, and links — from third-party drone and UAS publications via their public RSS feeds.

Important: MiddAir is not the author, editor, publisher, or owner of any news content displayed on this Site. All articles, stories, and reports originate from independent third-party publications. MiddAir makes no representations about the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any third-party content. We do not verify, fact-check, or endorse any content aggregated from third parties.

If you have a concern about a specific piece of content displayed on this Site, please contact the original publisher directly. MiddAir will promptly remove any content upon written request from a rights holder to middairphotography@outlook.com.

2. No safety or regulatory advice

Critical notice: Nothing on this Site constitutes official safety guidance, regulatory advice, airspace authorization, or operational clearance of any kind. MiddAir does not provide weather information, flight clearances, or safety assessments. For all safety-critical information, airspace authorization, and regulatory guidance, you must consult official sources including the FAA at faa.gov and the relevant aviation authorities for your jurisdiction.

MiddAir is not liable for any flight operation, accident, incident, regulatory violation, property damage, personal injury, or other consequence arising from reliance on information found on or linked from this Site. The user assumes full responsibility for all drone operations and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

3. Affiliate disclosure

MiddAir participates in affiliate advertising programs. This means that when you click certain links on this Site — particularly links in the "Gear" section — and make a qualifying purchase, MiddAir may receive a commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you.

Specifically, MiddAir is a participant in:

Amazon Services LLC Associates Program — an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com. Our Amazon affiliate tracking ID is middairphotography-20.
Pond5 Contributor Referral Program — the Pond5 link on this site uses a referral tracking URL (ref=Timothy51270). If you sign up as a Pond5 contributor through this link, MiddAir may receive a referral benefit at no additional cost to you.

Gear recommendations on this Site are based on community interest, publicly available reviews, and editorial research. Affiliate relationships do not influence which products are featured, and manufacturers do not pay for product placement in our gear recommendations. Cards in the sidebar labeled Affiliate use affiliate or referral tracking links. Cards labeled Resource are editorial recommendations with no commercial relationship.

FTC Disclosure: In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), MiddAir discloses that affiliate and referral links may appear on this Site. These are clearly labeled where applicable. The existence of affiliate relationships does not affect the objectivity of our content curation or news aggregation.

4. Intellectual property

The MiddAir name, wordmark, and original design elements of this Site are the property of MiddAir. All third-party content aggregated on this Site — including article titles, summaries, and images — remains the property of its original publishers. MiddAir does not claim ownership over any third-party content. We display brief summaries (short excerpts or descriptions) under the principles of fair use for the purposes of news aggregation and commentary.

If you believe any content on this Site infringes your copyright, please contact middairphotography@outlook.com with a description of the material, your contact information, and a statement of your rights. We will respond promptly.
