NOTICES AND CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT
NOTICE
If the passenger’s journey involves an ultimate destination or stop in a country
other than the country of departure, the Montreal Convention, 1999, may be
applicable. Where applicable, the Convention governs and may limit the liability
of carriers with respect to death or injury and for destruction or loss of, or
damage to, baggage and for delay. See, also, notices headed "Advice to
International Passengers on Limitations of Liability" and "Notice of Baggage
Liability Limitations".
CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT
1. As used in this contract "ticket" means this passenger ticket and baggage
check, or this itinerary/receipt if applicable, in the case of an electronic
ticket, of which these conditions and the notices form part, "carriage" is
equivalent to "transportation", "carrier" means all air carriers that carry or
undertake to carry the passenger or his baggage hereunder or perform any other
service incidental to such air carriage, "electronic ticket" means the
Itinerary/Receipt issued by or on behalf of Carrier, the Electronic Coupons and,
if applicable, a boarding document. "Montreal Convention" means the Convention
for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to International Carriage by Air,
done at Montreal on 28th May 1999.
2. Carriage hereunder is subject to the rules and limitations relating to
liability established by the Montreal Convention unless such carriage is not
"international carriage" as defined by the Convention.
3. To the extent not in conflict with the foregoing carriage and other services
performed by each carrier are subject to:
(i) provisions contained in the ticket;
(ii) applicable tariffs;
(iii) carrier’s conditions of carriage and related regulations which are made
part hereof (and are available on application at the offices of carrier), except
in transportation between a place in the United States or Canada and any place
outside thereof to which tariffs in force in those countries apply.
4. Carrier’s name may be abbreviated in the ticket, the full name and its
abbreviation being set forth in carrier’s tariffs, conditions of carriage,
regulations or timetables; carrier’s address shall be the airport of departure
shown opposite the first abbreviation of carrier’s name in the ticket; the
agreed stopping places are those places set forth in this ticket or as shown in
carrier’s timetables as scheduled stopping places on the passenger’s route;
carriage to be performed hereunder by several successive carriers is regarded as
a single operation.
5. An air carrier issuing a ticket for carriage over the lines of another air
carrier does so only as its Agent.
6. Any exclusion or limitation of liability of carrier shall apply to and be for
the benefit of agents, servants and representatives of carrier and any person
whose aircraft is used by carrier for carriage and its agents, servants and
representatives.
7. Checked baggage will be delivered to bearer of the baggage check. In case of
damage to baggage moving in international transportation complaint must be made
in writing to carrier forthwith after discovery of damage and, at the latest,
within seven days from receipt; in case of delay, complaint must be made within
21 days from date the baggage was placed at the passenger’s disposal. See
tariffs or conditions of carriage regarding non-international transportation.
8. This ticket is good for carriage for one year from date of issue, except as
otherwise provided in this ticket, in carrier’s tariffs, conditions of carriage,
or related regulations. The fare for carriage hereunder is subject to change
prior to commencement of carriage. Carrier may refuse transportation if the
applicable fare has not been paid.
9. Carrier undertakes to use its best efforts to carry the passenger and baggage
with reasonable dispatch. Times shown in timetables or elsewhere are not
guaranteed and form no part of this contract. Carrier may without notice
substitute alternate carriers or aircraft, and may alter or omit stopping places
shown on the ticket in case of necessity. Schedules are subject to change
without notice. Carrier assumes no responsibility for making connections.
10. Passenger shall comply with Government travel requirements, present exit,
entry and other required documents and arrive at airport by time fixed by
carrier or, if no time is fixed, early enough to complete departure procedures.
11. No agent, servant or representative of carrier has authority to alter,
modify or waive any provision of this contract.
NOTICE OF BAGGAGE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS
Liability for loss, delay, or damage to baggage is limited unless a higher value
is declared in advance and additional charges are paid. For most international
travel (including domestic portions of international journeys) the liability
limit is 1,000 Special Drawing Rights of the International Monetary Fund for
each passenger. The carrier does not accept fragile or perishable articles for
carriage. Nor does it accept items of extraordinary value, such as currency and
jewelry. By tendering your baggage for carriage you are representing to the
carrier that no such items are contained therein. In accepting your baggage, the
carrier relies on this representation. Additional protection can, usually, be
obtained by purchasing insurance from a private company. For additional
information, please contact your insurance company representative.
ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL PASSENGERS ON LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Passengers on a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country
other than the country of origin are advised that the provisions of a treaty
known as The Montreal Convention may be applicable to the entire journey,
including any portion entirely within the country of origin or destination.
Where the Montreal Convention is applicable, it governs and may limit the
liability of the carrier in respect of death or injury and for
destruction or loss of, or damage to, baggage, and for delay.
DENIED BOARDING BY OVERBOOKING
In those countries where Denied Boarding compensation regulations are in force,
carriers operate compensation plans for passengers with confirmed reservations
who are denied boarding because of non-availability of seats caused by
overbooking. Details of these plans are available at the airline’s offices.
NOTICE OF GOVERNMENT IMPOSED TAXES, FEES AND CHARGES
The price of this ticket may include taxes, fees and charges that are imposed on
air transportation by government authorities. These taxes, fees and charges,
which may represent a significant portion of the cost of air travel, are either
included in the fare, or shown separately in the "TAX" box(es) of this ticket.
You may also be required to pay taxes, fees and charges not already collected.
THINK BEFORE YOU PACK IT, BECAUSE...
For safety reasons, carriage of certain goods in your baggage is forbidden:
MATCHES, LIGHTERS, GAS, PAINTS, FIREWORKS, BLEACH, etc. So make sure your
baggage is safe. In case of doubt, ask your airline. |
