6 RISK
6.1 RENEWAL OF THE OPERATIONAL AUTHORISATION (UKPDRA-01)
Following an assessment by the CAA of the Buyer’s Operational Authorisation renewal application, if the advised documents or criteria are not met the Buyer’s application may be rejected and an assessment fee of £124.00 charged. On the basis that the application was prepared using information and documents provided by the Buyer as accurate, and taken in good faith by the Seller, this risk is assumed by the Buyer and the Seller cannot, at any point, take on the risk or any costs should the application be rejected and an assessment fee charged. Additionally, if there are any delays in the Buyer submitting the application to the CAA that result in the Buyer needing to update their certification before the CAA can process the application the Seller cannot, at any point, take on any associated risks or costs that result. In the event of any delays in the Buyer submitting the application to the CAA, that result in the CAA charging a higher application fee due to authorisation lapsing before the application was submitted the Seller cannot, at any point, take on any associated risks or costs that result.
6.2 APPLICATION FOR NEW OPERATIONAL AUTHORISATIONS (OSC)
Please refer to the Terms and Conditions for OPERATING SAFETY CASE SUPPORT.

findings of the initial investigation prove to be inaccurate to due inaccurate or incomplete information being provided to the Seller by the Buyer.
6.4 CAA AUDIT SUPPORT
Following the notification of an upcoming CAA audit by the Buyer to the Seller, the Seller will endeavour to provide the Buyer with advice on preparing for the audit. The Seller cannot, at any point, take on the risk of any costs should the Buyer not follow the Seller’s advice in preparing for the audit. In addition, the Seller cannot, at any point, take on the risk of any costs relating to the Buyer not advising the Seller of CAA queries raised during the audit. The Seller cannot assume any responsibility for the Buyer not incorporating recommendations from the Seller in maintaining compliance with unmanned aircraft operations.
6.5 REMOTE PILOT COMPETENCY ANNUAL REVIEW
Where an onsite remote pilot competency and annual review has been organised to include any practical, outdoor flying elements there is a risk of poor weather on the day requiring the practical, outdoor flying elements to be rescheduled, sometimes with little or no advanced notice. The Seller cannot, at any point, take on the risk of any costs should the practical, outdoor flying elements need to be rescheduled due to weather. If the Buyer insists on the practical, outdoor flying elements go ahead, against the advice of the Seller, and the weather does not improve, resulting in the practical, outdoor elements not being feasible, the Seller reserves the right to charge for the re-booking of the visit within reason. In the event of anticipated poor weather, the Buyer would have the option of either rescheduling the day or adjusting the schedule for the day to remove the practical, outdoor flying elements.
