Terms of Service

Last updated: July 19, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using SimTuts ("the Service"), you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

SimTuts is a flight-simulation training platform. Its core offering is a suite of free, browser-based training tools — including the A320 MCDU and Boeing 737 CDU trainers, approach-plate reading quizzes, ATC radio practice, and takeoff-performance calculators — together with written guides for flight simulators including DCS World, MSFS 2024, and X-Plane. An optional Premium subscription unlocks advanced scenarios, AI-graded feedback, SimBrief flight-plan import, and progress saving across devices.

3. Simulation Only Disclaimer

All content, instruction, guides, tutorials, and materials provided through SimTuts relate exclusively to flight simulation software and virtual environments. Nothing on this platform constitutes real-world flight training, aviation instruction, or operational guidance.

  • SimTuts is not an approved training organisation (ATO) and does not provide any form of real-world pilot training or certification
  • Guides, training tools, and all other content are intended solely for use within flight simulation software such as DCS World, MSFS 2024, and X-Plane
  • Procedures, techniques, and information discussed on this platform may differ significantly from real-world aviation practices and must not be applied to real aircraft operations
  • SimTuts and its content creators accept no responsibility for any consequences arising from the application of any material from this platform to real-world aviation or any other real-world activity
  • If you require real-world flight training, you must seek instruction from a qualified flight instructor at an approved training organisation

By using this platform, you acknowledge and agree that all material is for simulation purposes only and that you will not rely on it for real-world flight operations.

4. User Accounts

To use certain features of the Service, you must register for an account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information
  • Maintain the security of your password and account
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account
  • Be responsible for all activities that occur under your account

5. Payment and Billing

All payments are processed securely through Stripe. Prices are displayed in the platform currency and are subject to applicable VAT where required.

  • Your card is securely stored with Stripe and is not accessible to SimTuts
  • You can manage your payment method at any time in your account settings or via the Stripe customer portal linked from your settings
  • We reserve the right to refuse or cancel transactions
  • Where a refund is due (see section 6), it is processed through Stripe back to your original payment method

6. Premium Subscription

SimTuts offers an optional Premium subscription. Premium is sold by SimTuts and is billed through Stripe.

  • Price: £6.99 per month, or £49 per year. Prices include VAT where applicable.
  • Billing starts immediately: Your chosen payment method is charged at the price above when you subscribe, and your Premium access begins straight away. There is no free trial — the core A320 MCDU and Boeing 737 CDU trainers are free to use so you can try SimTuts before you subscribe.
  • Auto-renewal: Premium renews automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual) at the then-current price, until you cancel. We will charge your saved payment method at the start of each renewal period.
  • How to cancel: You can cancel at any time in your account settings, or via the Stripe customer portal linked from your settings. Cancellation stops future renewals; you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for. We do not provide pro-rata refunds for partial periods except where required by law.

6.1 Your 14-Day Right to Cancel (Consumers)

If you are a consumer, you normally have a statutory right to cancel a purchase of digital content within 14 days, without giving a reason, under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.

6.2 Immediate Access and Waiver of the Cancellation Right

Premium is digital content that is supplied immediately. By starting your subscription and accessing Premium features, you expressly request and consent to the supply of Premium beginning immediately, and you acknowledge that you will lose your 14-day right to cancel once supply has begun. If you have not accessed any Premium feature, your statutory cancellation right is unaffected and you may cancel for a refund within 14 days. This does not affect your other legal rights, including in respect of digital content that is faulty or not as described.

7. File Sharing

Users may share files (such as mission files, documents, and images) with other users using third-party cloud storage services (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive).

  • External Services: SimTuts does not host user-shared files. All files are stored on third-party platforms subject to their own terms of service.
  • User Responsibility: Users are solely responsible for the content of files they share. You must ensure you have the right to share any files and that they do not contain malware, illegal content, or copyrighted material you don't have permission to distribute.
  • No Liability: SimTuts is not responsible for the content, security, or availability of files shared via external links. We do not scan, moderate, or verify files shared between users.
  • Reporting: If you receive suspicious, malicious, or inappropriate files or links, please report them to us immediately. We reserve the right to suspend users who share harmful content.

Safety Recommendation: We recommend scanning downloaded files with antivirus software before opening them.

8. Prohibited Activities

Users may not:

  • Use the Service for any illegal purpose
  • Harass, abuse, or harm other users
  • Attempt to bypass payment systems or security measures
  • Share account credentials with others
  • Scrape or data mine content from the platform
  • Share files containing malware, viruses, or malicious code
  • Share copyrighted material without proper authorization
  • Share illegal, obscene, or harmful content
