Terms of service for PrepAMT FAA A&P test prep

PrepAMT Academy is operated by Ancestorii Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (number 17224876). In these terms “we”, “us” and “our” mean that company, and “you” means the person using the service.

Registered office: 41 Pentre Road, Maerdy, Ferndale, Wales, CF43 4DP.

Everything (questions, complaints, notices under these terms) goes to support@prepamtacademy.com.

Using the service means you accept these terms. If you do not, do not create an account.

PrepAMT is independent test preparation for the FAA A&P, the mechanic certificate with Airframe and Powerplant ratings. It is not affiliated with, approved by or endorsed by the Federal Aviation Administration.

PrepAMT is not an FAA certificated Part 147 Aviation Maintenance Technician School. It does not administer tests, it cannot authorize you to test, and nothing bought here has regulatory standing.

Read plainly, that means all of the following, and none of it is small print:

Our material is not the regulation. This is a plain-English summary, not the official text. Always check the current regulation, the current ACS and your local FSDO before relying on any of it. We work from primary sources and date every page with when we last read them, and rules change, sometimes between a page being written and you reading it. Where our material and the current 14 CFR, the current Airman Certification Standards or your local FSDO disagree, they are right.

An account is personal to you. Do not share your password, and do not let somebody else use your account, including a colleague preparing for the same tests. If you think somebody else has your password, change it and tell us.

You must be 16 or over to hold an account, and the email address you register must be one you control. You are responsible for what happens under your account.

You can close your account at any time, yourself, from the Leaving section of your account screen. Deletion is not instant: it opens a fourteen-day window during which you can sign back in and cancel, and at the end of it the account and the data described in the privacy policy are erased. If a paid subscription is still renewing you will be asked to cancel it first, under Manage billing, because closing the account does not, and cannot, cancel a subscription for you. Writing to us instead still works.

The free plan is a plan, not a trial. It is not time-limited, it does not ask for a card, and it does not turn into a paid plan on its own. If you never buy anything, nothing on this site will ever charge you.

Pro is a monthly subscription. What it costs is shown on the pricing section, and again at checkout before you confirm anything. That same amount is then charged to the same card every month on the anniversary of the day you started, until you stop it. There is no minimum term, no contract length and no cancellation fee.

Stripe takes the payment, not us. Card details are entered on Stripe’s own pages and handled entirely by them. We never see your card number, we do not store it, and we could not charge it ourselves if we wanted to: all we hold is Stripe’s reference for your subscription and the date it next renews. Stripe is named in the privacy policy as a processor, with what passes through them.

You can cancel at any time, from your own account screen. Open your account, choose Manage billing, and cancel. You do not need to write to us, give a reason, or wait for us to answer.

Cancelling stops the next charge; it does not cut short the month you have already paid for. Pro stays open until the end of that period and your account goes back to the free plan afterwards. We tell you the exact date in two places: on the account screen, and in the cancellation email we send you at the time.

Your work is not part of the subscription. Every answer you have given and every mock you have sat stays on your account whether you are paying or not. Ending Pro does not delete anything and does not close your account.

An expired or declined card does not close your account on the spot. Stripe retries a failed charge over the following days, and while it is retrying you keep Pro. You will hear from Stripe about the card, and you can replace it from the same Manage billing screen.

We also allow a short buffer, 3 days, after each billing period ends, so that a renewal we hear about a few minutes or hours late can never lock you out of something you have already paid for.

If the retries are exhausted and the subscription ends, your account returns to the free plan. Nothing is deleted.

We refund what we should not have taken. If you were charged after cancelling, charged twice, or charged on an account you do not recognise, write to support@prepamtacademy.com and we will refund it in full. We would rather give the money back than argue about it.

We do not refund part-months as a matter of course. Cancelling part way through a month leaves Pro open until the end of it rather than refunding the unused days, and that is the trade: you keep what you paid for instead of losing it on the day you cancel. If your circumstances make that the wrong answer, ask. A person reads the address above and there is no script.

Your statutory rights are not affected by any of this. If you are a consumer, whatever rights the law of your own country or state gives you about cancellation and refunds apply on top of what is written here, and nothing above limits them.

The price shown on the pricing section comes from Stripe rather than from anything we type by hand. We hold it for about an hour at a time, and if Stripe is slow to answer we show the last figure we stored, so that page can sit a little behind a change we have only just made. The checkout cannot: it is Stripe’s own page, and the figure it shows you there is the figure that will be charged. Prices are in US dollars and there is no other currency.

If we change the price of an existing subscription we post the change here before it takes effect, as section 09 requires, and the version date at the top of this page moves with it. You can cancel before the new price applies.

A promotion code changes what you pay for as long as the code says it does, and your subscription then continues at the ordinary price. The checkout tells you what you are being charged before you confirm.

The questions, explanations, study guides and everything else we publish are ours, and you get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use them to prepare for your own certificate. That license lasts as long as your account does.

What it does not cover:

What is not ours. Regulatory text and the syllabus structure come from 14 CFR Part 65 and FAA-S-ACS-1, works of the United States Government, which carry no copyright in the United States. We claim nothing over those, and they are acknowledged in the footer of every page. Our copyright is in what we wrote about them.

On that third point specifically: nothing we publish is copied from a live test, and if it were it would be both illegal and useless to you. Cheating on an FAA knowledge test carries its own consequence under 14 CFR § 65.18: ineligibility for any airman certificate for a year, and suspension or revocation of anything you already hold.

We can suspend or close an account that breaches section 05 or section 06, or where we are required to by law. Where it is reasonable to do so we will warn you first and give you a chance to put it right; where a breach is serious (sharing the material at scale, attacking the service, attempting to obtain live test content), we may act immediately.

You can close your account at any time, for any reason, without telling us why.

We work hard to keep the service available and accurate, and we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free. It may be unavailable for maintenance, or because something we depend on has failed.

We are not responsible for the outcome of your tests. Preparation is not a guarantee, the 70% is set by the FAA and not by us, and the fees for a retest, PSI Services, LLC’s and the examiner’s, are yours. Nor are we responsible for a decision you make about when to book, however good the readiness reading looked.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. Subject to that, and to the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost profits or opportunities, or for test fees, travel or time.

If you are a consumer, you have statutory rights that these terms do not affect.

We may change these terms. Where a change is material, and a change to the price of a subscription certainly is, the new version goes up on this page before it takes effect, not after, and the version date at the top moves with it. That date is the version in force, and this page is where a change shows up first.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its courts have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of your own country or state, and you may be able to bring proceedings there.

If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.
