3. Membership Account. Upon Member’s execution of this Agreement and performance of any prerequisites to membership, AeroVanti shall create a Membership Account in the name of Member.

(b) Pricing of Aircraft. Schedule C sets forth the maximum hourly rates and fees with respect to each category of aircraft. Such hourly rates are subject to change upon thirty (30) days' notice to Member. The cost of each flight will be based on Estimated Billable Flight Time (rounded up to the next tenth of an hour or six minutes).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, based on Member demand at time of booking, requested departure date and time, and requested route, certain flights may be priced lower than as calculated herein. Such flight quotes that are priced below the capped rate pricing shall be based on pricing and availability at the time of booking. If a reserved flight is delayed due to weather, air traffic congestion or any other matter beyond the Operator’s control the Member will be invoiced for the higher of the quoted or actual flight time.
