These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", or "your") and PAVE Space GmbH ("PAVE Space", "we", "us", or "our"), a company incorporated under Swiss law and headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. By accessing or using the PAVE Space website at pavespace.org ("the Site"), requesting access to our orbital logistics platform, or entering into any commercial relationship with PAVE Space, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you are accessing the Site or our services on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and references to "you" in these Terms shall mean that entity. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with these Terms, you must not use the Site or our services.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes by posting the revised Terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Site or our services after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must discontinue use of the Site and our services.
These Terms should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference.
PAVE Space develops and commercializes technology for orbital logistics, including propulsion systems, in-space transfer vehicles, and mission planning software. Our services and products include, but are not limited to:
The availability of any specific product, service, or feature may vary depending on your location, regulatory requirements, and applicable export control laws. PAVE Space reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any product or service at any time with reasonable notice.
Use of the Site is open to any individual or organization. However, access to PAVE Space's orbital logistics products and software platform is restricted to qualified commercial entities, research institutions, and government bodies operating in the space industry or related technical fields. Consumer use of our core propulsion and transfer vehicle technology is not contemplated.
All users must be at least 18 years of age. By using the Site, you confirm that you are of legal age to enter into binding contracts in your jurisdiction.
Certain features of the Site or access to specific resources — such as technical documentation, beta software tools, or demonstration scheduling — may require you to register for an account or provide contact information. When registering, you agree to:
PAVE Space reserves the right to deny, suspend, or terminate access to any user at our sole discretion, particularly where we have reason to believe that registration information is false, inaccurate, or relates to a prohibited party under applicable export control or sanctions regulations.
All content on the Site, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, photographs, illustrations, data visualizations, software code, and technical documentation, is the property of PAVE Space GmbH or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws, including Swiss copyright law, EU copyright law, and international treaties.
PAVE Space's proprietary technology — including its orbital transfer vehicle designs, propulsion module architecture, thruster qualification methodologies, trajectory optimization algorithms, and associated trade secrets — constitutes valuable intellectual property developed through significant investment. Nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership interest in this technology.
Subject to these Terms, PAVE Space grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site solely for your personal or internal business purposes. This license does not include:
The PAVE Space name, logo, and product names are trademarks of PAVE Space GmbH. You may not use these trademarks without our prior written consent. References to third-party products, services, or company names on the Site are for informational purposes only and do not imply endorsement by PAVE Space or any affiliation with the named parties.
If you submit any feedback, suggestions, ideas, or technical specifications to PAVE Space — through the Site, by email, or in any other form — you grant PAVE Space a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, and incorporate such submissions into our technology and services without obligation or compensation to you. You represent that any such submissions are your original work and do not infringe any third-party rights.
The purchase, licensing, or procurement of PAVE Space hardware, software, or professional services is governed by separate commercial agreements negotiated and executed between the parties. These Terms govern your use of the Site and informational resources and do not constitute an offer or commitment to supply any product or service at any particular price or specification.
Where pricing information is displayed in connection with any software subscription, data access, or service offering, all prices are stated in US Dollars (USD) unless expressly indicated otherwise. PAVE Space reserves the right to change pricing at any time. For hardware procurement and project-based contracts, pricing is determined through individual commercial negotiations and formal quotation processes.
Payment terms for any commercial engagement are as set out in the applicable contract, purchase order, or subscription agreement. In the absence of specific payment terms in a separate agreement, invoices issued by PAVE Space are due and payable within 30 days of the invoice date. Late payments may be subject to interest at the rate of 5% per annum above the Swiss National Bank's reference interest rate.
PAVE Space's propulsion technology and orbital logistics systems are subject to export control regulations under Swiss law, EU dual-use regulations, and the US Export Administration Regulations (EAR), as applicable. By engaging with PAVE Space, you represent that you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or controlled by any party or jurisdiction subject to sanctions administered by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), the European Union, or the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. PAVE SPACE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PAVE SPACE, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE SITE, ANY CONTENT ON THE SITE, OR ANY THIRD-PARTY CONTENT OR SERVICES ACCESSED THROUGH THE SITE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
IN JURISDICTIONS THAT DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, PAVE SPACE'S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
PAVE SPACE'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE SHALL NOT EXCEED EUR 100 (ONE HUNDRED EUROS). THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE.
The limitations set out in this section do not apply to liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable Swiss law.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PAVE Space and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms, your use of the Site, any content you submit or transmit through the Site, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Switzerland, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) does not apply to these Terms.
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms, or the breach, termination, or invalidity thereof, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Zurich, Switzerland. You irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for this purpose.
Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceedings, we encourage you to contact PAVE Space at info@pavespace.org to attempt to resolve any issue informally. We will make reasonable efforts to address your concern within 30 days of receiving written notice of the dispute.
In the course of evaluating or engaging with PAVE Space's technology, you may receive access to non-public technical information, business plans, financial data, or other proprietary information ("Confidential Information"). You agree to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and not to disclose it to any third party without PAVE Space's prior written consent, except as required by law. This obligation survives the termination of any commercial relationship between the parties.
Where a mutual non-disclosure agreement (NDA) has been executed between you and PAVE Space, the terms of that NDA shall govern with respect to Confidential Information exchanged under its scope.
PAVE Space may terminate or suspend your access to the Site and any associated services at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to a breach of these Terms, without prior notice and without liability to you. Upon termination, all rights granted to you under these Terms shall immediately cease.
Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including sections on Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law, and Confidentiality.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
PAVE Space's failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. A waiver of any right in a specific instance does not operate as a general waiver of that right in future instances.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and PAVE Space with respect to your use of the Site and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings relating to the same subject matter. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and a separately executed written commercial agreement between you and PAVE Space, the terms of the separately executed agreement shall prevail with respect to the subject matter of that agreement.
