The passenger shall not operate any other electronic devices on board without Carrier’s permission, except that hearing aids and heart pacemakers may be used.

If in the course of concluding the contract of carriage by air, Carrier also agrees to make arrangements for the provision of additional services (such as hotel accommodation and excursions trips on the ground), whether or not the cost of such arrangements is for the account of Carrier, Carrier acts only as agent for the passenger and is not liable to the passenger for any damage, loss or expense whatsoever arising from or in connection with such arrangements.

Para. 1. General.

The passenger shall be solely responsible for complying with all laws, regulations, orders, demands and travel requirements of countries to be flown from, into or over, and with Carrier’s Regulations and instructions. Carrier shall not be liable for any aid or information given by any agent or employee of Carrier to any passenger in connection with obtaining necessary documents or visas or complying with such laws, regulations, orders, demands, and requirements, whether given in writing or otherwise; or for the consequences to any passenger resulting from his failure to obtain such documents or visas or to comply with such laws, regulations, orders, demands, requirements, rules or instructions.

Para. 2. Travel Documents.

Carrier reserves the right to refuse carriage of any passenger who has not complied with applicable laws, regulations, orders, demands or requirements or whose documents do not appear to be in order, or who does not permit Carrier to take and retain copies thereof.

Para. 3. Refusal of Entry.

The passenger agrees to pay the applicable fare whenever Carrier, on government order, is required to return a passenger to his point of origin or elsewhere owing to the passenger’s inadmissibility into a country, whether of transit or of destination.

Carriage to be performed by several successive Carriers under one ticket, or under a ticket and any conjunction ticket issued in connection therewith, is regarded as a single operation.

Para. 1.

The Liability of each carrier involved in your journey will be determined by the carrier?s own Conditions of Carriage. If we issue a ticket or check a baggage for carriage on another carrier, we do so only as an agent for the other carrier, and we carry no liability for this carriage. Our liability for the carriage of passengers and baggage is governed by the Convention.
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 the Warsaw Convention may be applicable to the entire journey, including any portion entirely within the country of origin or destination. For such passengers traveling by a carrier on a journey not to, from, or having an agreed stopping place in the United States of America, liability of the carrier for death or personal injury to passengers is limited in most cases to approximately U.S. $ 10,000 or U.S. $ 20,000.

Para. 2.

Additional protection can usually be obtained by purchasing insurance from a private company. Such insurance is not affected by any limitation of the carrier?s liability under the Convention. For further information please consult your Airline or Insurance Company Representative.

Para. 3.

To the extent not in conflict with the foregoing and whether or not the Convention applies:
(a) Carrier is liable only for damage occurring on its own line. A carrier issuing a ticket or checking baggage over the lines of another carrier does so only as agent for such other carrier. Nevertheless, with respect to checked baggage the passenger shall also have a right of action against the first or last carrier.
(b) Carrier is not liable for damage to unchecked baggage unless such damage is caused by the negligence of Carrier. If there has been contributory negligence on the part of the passenger, Carrier’s liability shall be subject to the applicable law relating to contributory negligence.
(c) Carrier is not liable for any damage arising from its compliance with any laws or government regulations, orders or requirements, or from failure of the passenger to comply with the same.
(d) The liability of Carrier in the case of loss, damage or delay of checked baggage shall be limited to 250 French gold francs or its equivalent (US equivalent approximately $20) per kilogram. For the purposes of the Convention, if the weight of the baggage is not recorded on the baggage check, it is presumed that the total weight of the checked baggage does not exceed the applicable free baggage allowance for the class of service concerned, as provided in Carrier?s Regulations. In the event of loss, damage or delay of part of the checked baggage, the liability limit of Carrier shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of weight to the part concerned.
(e) Carrier’s liability shall not exceed the amount of proven damages. Carrier shall furthermore not be liable for indirect or consequential damages.
(f) Carrier is not liable for injury to a passenger or for damage to a passenger’s baggage caused by property contained in such passenger’s baggage. Any passenger whose property causes injury to another person or damage to another person’s property or to the property of Carrier shall indemnify Carrier for all losses and expenses incurred by Carrier as a result thereof.
(g) Carrier is not liable for damage to fragile or perishable items, money, jewellery, precious metals, silverware, negotiable papers, securities or other valuables, business documents, passports and other identification documents, samples, medicines or drugs, which are included in the passenger’s checked and carry-on baggage, whether with or without the knowledge of Carrier.
(h) If a passenger is carried whose age or mental or physical condition is such as to involve any hazard or risk to himself, Carrier shall not be liable for any illness, injury or disability, including death, attributable to such condition or for the aggravation of such condition.
(i) On failure of Carrier, otherwise than in circumstances referred to in Article 8 Paragraph 1, Article 9 Paragraph 3 or Article 10 Paragraph 2(b) or (c), to provide space in the class of service for which a reservation has been duly made in accordance with Article 6 hereof, Carrier’s liability for damages for such failure shall be limited to reimbursement of reasonable expenses of the passenger for accommodation, meals, communications and ground transport to and from the airport, up to the time when Carrier is able to provide such space either on another of its own services or on the services of another carrier.
(j) Any exclusion or limitation of liability of Carrier shall apply to and be for the benefit of agents, employees and representatives of Carrier and any person whose aircraft is used by Carrier and such person’s agents, employees and representatives. The aggregate amount recoverable from Carrier and from such agents, employees, representatives and persons shall not exceed the amount of Carrier’s limit of liability.

Para. 4.

Unless so expressly provided nothing herein contained shall waive any exclusion or limitation of liability of Carrier under the Convention or applicable laws.

Para. 1. Notice of Claims.

No action shall lie in the case of damage to checked baggage unless the person entitled to delivery complains to Carrier forthwith after the discovery of the damage, and, at the latest, within seven days from the date of receipt; and in the case of delay, unless the complaint is made at the latest within twenty-one days from the date on which the baggage has been placed at his disposal. Every complaint must be made in writing and dispatched within the times aforesaid.

Para. 2. Limitation of Actions.

Any right to damages shall be extinguished if an action is not brought within two years reckoned from the date of arrival at the destination, or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived, or from the date on which the carriage stopped. The method of calculating the period of limitation shall be determined by the law of the court seized of the case.

1. c) When a passenger with a normal fare ticket, or a special fare ticket which has the same validity as a normal fare ticket, is prevented from travelling within the period of validity of his ticket because at the time such passenger requests reservations Carrier is unable to provide space on the flight, the validity of such passenger’s ticket will be extended until Carrier’s first flight on which space is available in the class of service for which the fare has been paid.

Para. 3. Coupon Sequence.

When flight coupons, or in the case of an electronic ticket, an electronic coupon, are issued without a reservation being specified thereon, space will be reserved on application subject to the conditions for the relevant fare and the availability of space on the flight applied for.

(d) Where applicable, the passenger coupon and all unused flight coupons not previously surrendered to Carrier shall be retained by the passenger throughout his journey and shall be produced and the applicable flight coupons surrendered to Carrier at Carrier’s request.

(e) If the passenger fails or has failed to use the flight coupons, or in the case of an electronic ticket, the electronic coupon, in sequence, Carrier is entitled to recompute the fares in accordance with Carrier’s Regulations for the use of said coupons and the passenger is liable to pay to Carrier any difference between the recomputed fares and the fares already paid by or due from the passenger.

For these purposes the passenger authorizes Carrier to retain such data and to transmit it to its own offices, other carriers or the providers of such services, in whatever country they may be located.
