Terms & Conditions
Amarsi & Co – Drone Search
1. Service Overview
Amarsi & Co Drone Search is a voluntary, community-focused service operated solely by Jay Amarsi.
The purpose of this service is to provide aerial visual support in the search for missing pets using legally compliant drone operations.
This service does not guarantee the location, recovery, or return of any animal.
Drone Search is an assistance-only service and does not replace ground searches, professional tracking, or animal rescue services.
2. Nature of the Service
By requesting this service, you understand and agree that:
This service is free of charge to those within 10 miles of the Chesterfield area with no obligations.
There will be a £0.45 per mile charge, plus a £20 call out charge for searches outside of this area, which is not payable unless a drone has been deployed and has physically become ‘airborne’.
All searches are conducted at my discretion, based on safety, legality, and availability.
I do not capture, handle, or physically retrieve animals.
I provide aerial observation only, and any findings must be followed up by the owner or appropriate professionals.
Results are not guaranteed due to terrain, weather, signal conditions, and pet behaviour.
3. Requesting Assistance
Submitting a request does not guarantee acceptance or attendance.
I reserve the right to decline or postpone a request for reasons including (but not limited to):
Unsafe weather conditions
Legal or regulatory restrictions
Airspace limitations
Land access issues
High-risk environments
Personal availability
Conflicts with the Drone Code or CAA regulations
A response will be provided as soon as possible to confirm whether assistance is feasible.
4. Land Access & Permissions
Drone Search may involve flying over private, agricultural, or restricted land.
It is the requester’s responsibility to:
Obtain permission from landowners where necessary
Provide accurate information about land boundaries
Ensure safe and lawful access for ground search teams
I reserve the right not to fly in any location where permission cannot be verified or safety cannot be ensured.
5. Safety & Compliance
All flights are conducted in accordance with:
The UK CAA Drone Code
Open Category regulations
A2 CofC certification requirements
Operator ID and Flyer ID obligations
Local airspace and legal restrictions
I will never operate a drone:
In unsafe or high-risk conditions
Over crowds or gatherings
Beyond visual line of sight (VLOS)
In areas prohibited or restricted by law
Contrary to the Drone Code, even at the owner’s request
Safety always takes priority over search activity.
6. Use of Images, Video & Data
Any aerial images, videos, or mapping data collected during a search may be shared with the pet owner for search purposes only.
I will not:
Share imagery publicly without permission
Record or store personal information unnecessarily
Use footage for marketing without explicit consent
Images may occasionally be used anonymously for training or awareness unless the owner requests otherwise.
7. Liability
By requesting this service, you acknowledge that:
Drone Search is voluntary and offered “as is”
No guarantee is made regarding outcomes or results
I am not liable for loss, injury, damage, or missed sightings
Owners remain responsible for ground searching and recovery efforts
Owners must exercise judgement and take appropriate steps following any information provided by the drone search.
8. Volunteer Participation
Volunteers may be invited to support the service, including:
Additional drone pilots
Dog walkers or hikers
Landowners or farmers
Community members assisting ground searches
Volunteers operate at their own risk and must follow safety guidance.
Volunteers are not employees of Amarsi & Co and act independently.
