External factors involved in capturing your data with drones, such as harsh weather conditions, delayed permission to fly, local changes in costs of reaching the flying sites, all drone operators busy or other unforeseen circumstances might delay the delivery date, force us to cancel the quote/order and/or result in higher cost which GLOBHE as a connecting Crowddroning platform cannot be held liable for. We will inform you of any changes before proceeding.

In the event the Single order is canceled within 48 hours from the payment of the advance payment, GLOBHE may refund the advance payment reduced with any incurred cost.

We reserve the right to change our fees and to institute new charges at any time (including, for clarity, for any renewal), upon notice to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through posting of such notice on our website, as determined by Globhe in our sole discretion. Your use of the Service following such notification constitutes your acceptance of any new or increased fees.
