Terms in one paragraph

Data comes from flight-status feeds and Flyback’s own departures scan; amounts are per passenger before any “extraordinary circumstances” defence. Flyback is a self-service tool, not a law firm. Don’t resell the data or present it as your own; link back. We may change limits to keep the service up.
