• Compliance with aviation regulations
• Any claims arising from their services
BlueTubeTV is not liable for any incidents, damages, or claims arising from pilot operations. We strongly recommend carrying at least $1,000,000 in liability coverage.
6. Reviews & Ratings
Clients may leave reviews and ratings after completed jobs. Pilots with consistently low ratings (below 3.5 stars) may face:
• Reduced visibility in search results
• Required performance improvement plan
• Account suspension
Pilots may respond to reviews professionally. Fraudulent reviews from either party will result in review removal and potential account action.
