Version 1.0 · Effective 8 September 2026
These terms apply to everyone who books training, whether or not you are a member of Mekatron Flyers Club. They sit alongside the club terms rather than replacing them.
Please read these Terms carefully before booking a training session. They apply to everyone who books training, whether or not you are a member of Mekatron Flyers Club.
These Terms govern the provision of flight training, instruction, and related services ("the Training Services") by Mekatron & Persones Ltd. ("Mekatron") to the person named in the booking ("the Participant").
1.2 These Terms apply in addition to, and do not replace, any Mekatron Flyers Club Member Terms and Conditions or Liability Waiver the Participant may have separately agreed to. Where the two conflict in respect of Training Services, these Terms prevail.
1.3 Membership of Mekatron Flyers Club is not required in order to book Training Services, and booking Training Services does not confer membership or any membership benefit.
2.1 The Participant must meet the minimum age stated for the relevant programme at the time of booking. Minimum ages differ by programme and are shown on each programme's page.
2.2 Mekatron may decline or discontinue a booking where, in its reasonable judgement, the Participant is not suited to the programme selected, or where continuing would present a safety risk to the Participant or to others.
2.3 The Participant must disclose at the time of booking any medical condition, injury, or impairment that could reasonably affect their ability to participate safely. Mekatron relies on that disclosure when accepting a booking.
3.1 Where the Participant is under 18 years of age, a parent or legal guardian must complete the booking, agree to these Terms, and sign the accompanying Liability Waiver on the Participant's behalf.
3.2 The parent or guardian remains responsible for the Participant's compliance with these Terms and with all safety instructions issued during a session.
3.3 Mekatron may require a parent or guardian to remain present for the duration of a session where the Participant is below a stated age.
4.1 A session is confirmed only once payment has been received in full and Mekatron has issued a booking confirmation.
4.2 All fees are quoted in Nigerian Naira (₦) and are inclusive of any applicable taxes.
4.3 Sessions may be booked up to 14 days in advance, and no later than 24 hours before the session begins.
4.4 Session times are allocated subject to instructor availability. Mekatron does not guarantee the availability of any particular instructor, date, or time unless expressly confirmed in writing.
Sessions are not refundable. Rescheduling is free if you give at least 12 hours' notice.
5.1 A Participant wishing to cancel or reschedule a confirmed session must give Mekatron at least 12 hours' notice before the session is due to begin. This applies equally to single sessions and to sessions forming part of a bundle.
5.2 Where at least 12 hours' notice is given, the session may be rescheduled to the next mutually available slot at no additional charge. No refund is offered as an alternative to rescheduling.
5.3 Where less than 12 hours' notice is given, the session is forfeited. It is treated as delivered, counts against any bundle, and is not refunded.
6.1 A Participant who does not attend a confirmed session without notice forfeits that session. It is treated as delivered, counts against any bundle, and is not refunded.
6.2 A Participant arriving materially late may have their session shortened so that subsequent bookings are not affected. The session is treated as delivered in full.
6.3 A Participant who attends a session while, in the reasonable judgement of the instructor, unfit to participate safely — including through the influence of alcohol or drugs — may be refused instruction. The session is treated as delivered.
7.1 Where sessions are purchased as a bundle, the sessions are personal to the Participant and may not be transferred or resold without Mekatron's written consent.
7.2 Unused sessions in a bundle expire after the period stated for that programme at the time of purchase. The expiry date is shown on the Participant's account, and reminders are sent before it falls due. Expired sessions are not refunded.
7.3 A bundle may limit how many sessions can be taken in a single week. Any such limit is stated for that programme at the time of purchase.
7.4 Bundles are sold at a discount against the single-session rate. Where a bundle is refunded in the circumstances permitted by these Terms, sessions already delivered are charged at the single-session rate before any balance is returned.
8.1 Mekatron may cancel or reschedule a session where weather conditions, equipment failure, instructor illness, site unavailability, or any other circumstance beyond its reasonable control makes it unsafe or impractical to proceed.
8.2 Where Mekatron cancels a session, or where a session is held over because of weather, the session is not deducted from any bundle and the Participant may reschedule at no additional charge or, at the Participant's election, receive a full refund of that session.
8.3 Where Mekatron reassigns a session to a different instructor, the Participant will be told in advance.
8.4 Mekatron is not liable for travel, accommodation, or other incidental costs incurred by the Participant in connection with a cancelled session.
The Participant agrees at all times to:
9.2 Mekatron may terminate a session immediately, without refund, where the Participant's conduct presents a risk to any person or to property.
10.1 Where Mekatron provides aircraft or equipment for use during a session, it remains the property of Mekatron at all times.
10.2 The Participant is responsible for loss of or damage to Mekatron equipment caused by their wilful misconduct or by a failure to follow instructions. Damage occurring during normal instructed use is not charged to the Participant.
10.3 Where the Participant brings their own aircraft or equipment, they warrant that it is airworthy, adequately maintained, and legal to operate. Mekatron may decline to instruct on equipment it considers unsafe.
11.1 Training Services are provided on a reasonable-endeavours basis. Mekatron does not warrant that the Participant will achieve any particular standard of competence, pass any assessment, or obtain any licence or certification.
11.2 Any certificate issued by Mekatron records attendance and the standard demonstrated at the time of assessment. It is not a licence to operate and does not substitute for any authorisation required by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority or any other regulator.
12.1 Mekatron may capture photographs, video, or other recordings during a session and use them for promotional, educational, and archival purposes.
12.2 A Participant who does not wish to appear in such material may notify Mekatron in writing at any time, and Mekatron will make reasonable efforts to exclude them from future material.
13.1 Mekatron collects and processes the Participant's personal information for the purpose of delivering the Training Services, in accordance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act and Mekatron's Privacy Policy.
13.2 Information disclosed under clause 2.3 is shared with the assigned instructor to the extent necessary for the Participant's safety.
14.1 Mekatron may amend these Terms from time to time. The version in force at the time a session is booked governs that booking.
These Terms shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Nigerian courts.
Flight training involves the operation of model aircraft and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) under instruction. Participation carries inherent risks that may result in property damage, personal injury, serious injury, or death. The presence and supervision of a qualified instructor reduces these risks but does not remove them. By signing this agreement, the participant acknowledges these risks and agrees to the terms set out below.
I acknowledge that participation in training conducted by Mekatron & Persones Ltd. ("Mekatron") involves inherent risks, including but not limited to:
1.2 I confirm that I am participating voluntarily and with full knowledge of these risks.
2.1 I understand that being under instruction does not make the activity safe. An instructor may not be able to prevent an incident, may not be able to take control of an aircraft in time, and may not be able to prevent injury arising from my own actions or from equipment failure.
2.2 I understand that I remain responsible for my own conduct during a session, including where I am acting on an instruction given to me.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I hereby release and discharge the following parties from any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses arising from my participation in training:
3.2 This release shall not apply where loss or injury results directly from gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of Mekatron or its representatives, nor shall it exclude any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
4.1 I confirm that I am medically fit to participate and that I have disclosed any condition, injury, medication, or impairment that could reasonably affect my ability to participate safely.
4.2 I consent to Mekatron arranging emergency medical treatment on my behalf if I am unable to consent at the time, and I accept responsibility for the cost of that treatment.
I understand and agree that:
6.1 I accept responsibility for injury to any third party, or damage to any third party's property, caused by an aircraft I am operating, except where I was acting in direct compliance with an instruction given to me.
Where the participant is under 18 years of age:
8.1 I grant Mekatron permission to use photographs, videos, recordings, or other media captured during training for promotional, educational, and archival purposes, and I understand I may withdraw this permission in writing at any time.
This agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with this agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Nigerian courts.
By signing below, I confirm that:
