Terms of service

What we do, what we do not do, who owns what, and the accuracy limits you are agreeing to. Written to be read rather than skipped.

The service

CelesticLabs Private Limited processes drone imagery you have already captured and returns photogrammetry deliverables. We do not fly, we do not place ground control, and we do not plan flights. These terms apply when you use dronegrid.celesticlabs.org or send us a dataset.

What you are confirming when you send us imagery

Flight legality is yours, not ours. We receive files after the fact and have no way to verify what permissions were held. If you were not entitled to capture it, do not send it to us.

Who owns what

You own your imagery. You own the deliverables we generate from it, outright, with no licence back to us and no restriction on how you use them commercially.

We take only the limited permission needed to do the work: to store, process and transmit your imagery for the purpose of producing and delivering your outputs, and to keep them until retention expires. Any marketing use requires your separate written permission for that specific dataset.

Accuracy — the part that matters

Photogrammetry produces measurements with limits. These are ours, and they are the same figures we publish on the site:

Deliverables are not a substitute for a licensed survey. Do not use them for setting out, boundary determination, cadastral work, or any purpose where a metre of positional error carries legal or contractual weight. If you are unsure whether your use case fits, ask before you book.

Pilot programme terms

Pilot pricing is

5 for essentials (orthomosaic, surface model, report) and $35 for all six deliverables, per dataset. We will tell you before any price change affects you.

If something goes wrong

If a reconstruction fails or the output is unusable through our fault, we will reprocess it once at no charge or refund you. If your imagery cannot produce a usable result — insufficient overlap, missing GPS, motion blur, too few images — we will tell you what we found and refund you rather than deliver something misleading.

What you may not do

Limits on our liability

We are a small company processing imagery for a fixed per-dataset fee. Our total liability for any claim connected to a job is limited to the amount you paid for that job.

We are not liable for decisions made on the basis of our deliverables, or for indirect or consequential losses — lost profit, lost contracts, remediation of work carried out in reliance on a measurement. This is precisely why we publish our error bars: so you can judge whether a model is fit for your decision before you make it.

Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Ending it

You can stop using the service at any time and ask us to delete your data. We may decline or stop work on a job that breaches these terms, and will refund anything paid for work not delivered. Retention still applies to files already produced: they are deleted after 90 days.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at [city], India. Questions: legal@celesticlabs.org. Proposed effective date: 2026-08-26.
