3.1.3 Some Tickets are sold at fares which may be partially or completely non-refundable. You should check the fare rules at the time of booking and choose the fare best suited to your needs. You may also wish to ensure that you have appropriate insurance to cover instances where you might have to cancel your Ticket or are prevented from travelling.

3.1.4 If you have a Ticket, as described in 3.1.3 above, which is completely unused, and you are prevented from travelling due to EVENTS BEYOND YOUR CONTROL, provided that you promptly advise us and furnish evidence of the EVENTS BEYOND YOUR CONTROL, we will provide you with a credit of the non-refundable amount of the fare, for future travel on us, subject to deduction of a reasonable administration fee.

3.1.5 The Ticket is and remains at all times the property of the issuing carrier.

3.1.6 Except in the case of an Electronic Ticket, you shall not be entitled to be carried on a flight unless you present a valid Ticket containing the Flight Coupon for that flight and all other unused Flight Coupons and the Passenger Coupon. In addition, you shall not be entitled to be carried if the Ticket presented is mutilated or if it has been altered otherwise than by us or our Authorised Agent. In the case of an Electronic Ticket, you shall not be entitled to be carried on a flight unless you provide positive identification and evidence that a valid Electronic Ticket has been duly issued in your name.

3.1.7(a) In case of loss or mutilation of a Ticket (or part of it) by you or non-presentation of a Ticket containing the Passenger Coupon and all unused Flight Coupons, upon your request we will replace such Ticket (or part of it) by issuing a new Ticket, provided there is evidence, readily ascertainable at the time, that a Ticket valid for the flight(s) in question was duly issued and you sign an agreement to reimburse us for any costs and losses, up to the value of the original ticket, which are necessarily and reasonably incurred by us or another Carrier for misuse of the Ticket. We will not claim reimbursement from you for any such losses which result from our own negligence. The issuing carrier may charge a reasonable administration fee for this service, unless the loss or mutilation was due to the negligence of the issuing carrier, or its agent.

3.1.7(b) Where such evidence is not available or you do not sign such an agreement, the carrier issuing the new Ticket may require you to pay up to the full Ticket price for a replacement Ticket, subject to refund if and when the original issuing carrier is satisfied that the lost or mutilated Ticket has not been used before the expiry of its validity. If upon finding the original Ticket before the expiry of its validity, you surrender it to the carrier issuing the new Ticket, the foregoing refund will be processed at that time.

3.1.8 A ticket is valuable and you should take appropriate measures to safeguard it and ensure it is not lost or stolen.

3.2 PERIOD OF VALIDITY
3.2.1 Except as otherwise provided in the Ticket, these Conditions, or in applicable Tariffs (which may limit the validity of a ticket, in which case the limitation will be shown on the Ticket), a Ticket or voucher is valid for:

3.2.1(a) one year from the date of issue; or

3.2.1(b) subject to the first travel occurring within one year from the date of issue, one year from the date of first travel under the Ticket.

or you may be entitled to a refund in accordance with Article 10.

3.2.3 If after having commenced your journey, you are prevented from travelling within the period of validity of the Ticket by reason of illness, we may extend the period of validity of your Ticket until the date when you become fit to travel or until our first flight after such date, from the point where the journey is resumed on which space is available in the class of service for which the fare has been paid. Such illness must be attested to by a medical certificate. When the flight coupons remaining in the Ticket, or in the case of an Electronic Ticket, the Electronic Coupon, involve one or more Stopovers, the validity of such Ticket may be extended for not more than three months from the date shown on such certificate. In such circumstances, we will similarly extend the period of validity of Tickets of other members of your immediate family accompanying you.

3.2.4 In the event of death of a Passenger en route, the Tickets of persons accompanying the Passenger may be modified by waiving the minimum stay or extending the validity. In the event of a death in the immediate family of a Passenger who has commenced travel, the validity of the Passenger's Tickets and those of his or her immediate family who are accompanying the Passenger may likewise be modified. Any such modification shall be made upon receipt of a valid death certificate and any such extension of validity shall not be for a period longer than forty-five (45) Days from the date of the death.

3.3 COUPON SEQUENCE AND USE
3.3.1 The Ticket you have purchased is valid only for the transportation as shown on the Ticket, from the place of departure via any Agreed Stopping Places to the final destination. The fare you have paid is based upon our Tariff and is for the transportation as shown on the Ticket. It forms an essential part of our contract with you. The Ticket will not be honoured and will lose its validity if all the coupons are not used in the sequence provided in the Ticket.

3.3.2 Should you wish to change any aspect of your transportation you must contact us in advance. The fare for your new transportation will be calculated and you will be given the option of accepting the new price or maintaining your original transportation as ticketed. Should you be required to change any aspect of your transportation due to EVENTS BEYOND YOUR CONTROL, you must contact us as soon as practicable and we will use reasonable efforts to transport you to your next Stopover or final destination, without recalculation of the fare.

3.3.3 Should you change your transportation without our agreement, we will assess the correct price for your actual travel. You will have to pay any difference between the price you have paid and the total price applicable for your revised transportation. We or our Authorised Agents will refund you the difference if the new price is lower but otherwise, your unused Coupons have no value.

3.3.4 Please be aware that while some types of changes will not result in a change of fare, others, such as changing the place of departure (for example if you do not fly the first segment) or reversing the direction you travel, can result in an increase in price. Many fares are valid only on the dates and for
the flights shown on the Ticket and may not be changed at all, or only upon payment of an additional fee.

3.3.5 Each Flight Coupon contained in your Ticket will be accepted for transportation in the class of service on the date and flight for which space has been reserved. When a Ticket is originally issued without a reservation
being specified, space may be later reserved subject to our Tariff and the availability of space on the flight requested.

3.3.6 Please be advised that in the event you do not show up for any flight without advising us in advance, we may cancel your return or onward reservations. However, if you do advise us in advance, we will not cancel your subsequent flight reservations but Article 3.3.4 will be applicable in this case.

Fares do not include ground transport service between airports and between airports and town terminals. Your fare will be calculated in accordance with our Tariff in effect on the date of payment of your Ticket for travel on the specific dates and itinerary shown on it.

Likewise, if a new tax, fee or charge is imposed even after Ticket issuance, you will be obliged to pay it. Similarly, in the event of any taxes, fees or charges which you have paid to us at the time of Ticket issuance are abolished or reduced such that they no longer apply to you, or a lesser amount is due, you will be entitled to claim a refund. If you do not travel, you may apply in writing for a full refund of taxes, fees and charges paid, in which case the refund may be subject to a reasonable administration charge.

4.3 CURRENCY
Fares, taxes, fees and charges are payable in the currency of the country in which the Ticket is issued, unless another currency is indicated by us or our Authorised Agent at or before the time payment is made (for example, because of the non-convertibility of the local currency).

Carriage to be performed by us and other Carriers under one Ticket, or a Conjunction Ticket is regarded as a single operation for the purposes of the Convention. However, your attention is drawn to Article 15.4.3.

ARTICLE 15 - LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE

15.1 LIABILITY RULES
15.1.1 Our liability to you will be governed by our Conditions of Carriage and the liability of each Carrier involved in your journey will be determined by its own Conditions of Carriage.

15.1.2 Unless otherwise stated in these Conditions, international travel, as defined in the Convention, is subject to the liability rules of the Convention.

15.2 LIABILITY FOR DEATH, WOUNDING OR OTHER BODILY INJURY TO PASSENGERS
15.2.1 Our liability in respect of damages sustained in the event of death, wounding or any other bodily injury of a passenger in the event of an accident shall not be subject to any financial limit, be it defined by law, convention or contract.

15.2.2 For any damages up to the sum of the equivalent of 100,000 SDRs (US $120,000), we shall not exclude or limit our liability by proving that we and our agents have taken all necessary measures to avoid the damage or that it was impossible for us or our agents to take such measures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we prove that the damage was caused by, or contributed to by, the negligence of the injured or deceased passenger, we may be exonerated wholly or partly from our liability in accordance with applicable law. For claims in excess of this limit, we shall not be liable for damages if we can prove that:

• such damage was not due to our or our agent's negligence or other wrongful act or omission; or
• such damage was solely due to the negligence or other wrongful act or omission of a third party.

15.2.3 We shall, without delay, and in any event not later than fifteen (15) days after the identity of the natural person entitled to compensation has been established, make such advance payment as may be required to meet immediate economic needs on a basis proportional to the hardship suffered.
Such advance payment shall not be less than the equivalent of 16,000 SDRs (US $19,000) per passenger in the event of death.

15.2.4 An advance payment shall not constitute recognition of our liability and may be offset against any subsequent sums paid on the basis of our liability. Such advance payment is not returnable, except (i) in cases where we prove that the damage was caused by, or contributed to by, the negligence
of the injured or deceased passenger, or (ii) in circumstances where it is subsequently proved that the person who received the advance payment caused, or contributed to, the damage by negligence or was not
the person entitled to compensation.

15.2.5 We are not responsible for any illness, injury or disability, including death, attributable to your physical condition or for the aggravation of such condition.

15.3 LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE TO BAGGAGE
15.3.1 We will not be liable for Damage to Unchecked Baggage unless such Damage is caused by our negligence.

15.3.2 We shall only be liable for Damage sustained in case of Damage to Checked Baggage where the event that caused the Damage took place on board our aircraft or during any period within which the Checked Baggage was in our charge. We shall not be liable if and to the extent that the Damage resulted from the inherent defect, quality or vice of the Baggage. Except in the case of an act or omission done with intent to cause Damage or recklessly and with knowledge that Damage would probably result, our liability generally in the case of Damage to Checked Baggage shall be limited to 1,000 SDRs (US$1,200) per passenger, unless you have made a special declaration of higher value at the latest at check-in and paid a supplementary fee.

--provided that if in accordance with applicable law different limits of liability are applicable such different limits shall apply. 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 carriage concerned. If in the case of Checked Baggage a higher value is declared in writing pursuant to an excess valuation facility, our liability
shall be limited to such higher declared value.

15.3.3 We are not liable for any Damage caused by your Baggage. You shall be responsible for any Damage caused by your Baggage to other persons or property, including our property.

15.3.4 We shall have no liability whatsoever for Damage to articles not permitted to be contained in Checked Baggage under Article 8.3, including fragile or perishable items, items having a special value, such as money, jewellery, precious metals, computers, personal electronic devices, negotiable papers, securities, or other valuables, business documents, personal medication, passports and other identification documents, or samples.

15.4 GENERAL
15.4.1 Any liability we have for Damage, will be reduced by any negligence on your part which causes or contributes to the Damage in accordance with applicable law.

15.4.2 We are not liable for any Damage arising from our compliance with applicable laws or Government rules and regulations, or from your failure to comply with the same.

15.4.3 We will be liable only for Damage occurring during carriage on flights or flight segments where our Airline Designator Code appears in the carrier box of the Ticket for that flight or flight segment. If we issue a Ticket or if we check Baggage for carriage on another Carrier, we do so only as agent for the other Carrier. Nevertheless, with respect to Checked Baggage, you may make a claim against the first or last carrier.

15.4.4 Except where other specific provision is made in these Conditions, we shall be liable to you only for recoverable compensatory Damages for proven losses and costs, in accordance with the Convention.

15.4.5 The contract of carriage, including these Conditions of Carriage and exclusions or limits of liability, applies to our Authorised Agents, servants, employees and representatives to the same extent as they apply to us. The total amount recoverable from us and from such authorised Agents, employees, representatives and persons shall not exceed the amount of our own liability, if any.

15.4.6 Nothing in these Conditions of Carriage shall waive any exclusion or limitation of our liability under the Convention or applicable laws unless otherwise expressly stated.

15.4.7 Nothing in these Conditions of Carriage:

• prevents us from excluding or limiting our liability under the Convention or any laws which apply or
• waives any defence available to us under the Convention or any laws which apply against any public social insurance body or any person liable to pay, or who has paid, compensation for the death, wounding or other bodily injury of a passenger.

ARTICLE 16 - TIME LIMITATION ON CLAIMS AND ACTIONS

16.1 NOTICE OF BAGGAGE CLAIMS
Acceptance of Baggage by the bearer of the Baggage Check without complaint at the time of delivery is sufficient evidence that the Baggage has been delivered in good condition and in accordance with the contract of carriage, unless you prove otherwise.

Every such notification must be made in writing.

16.2 LIMITATION OF ACTIONS FOR DAMAGES
Any right to Damages shall be extinguished if an action is not brought within two years of the date of arrival at destination, or the date on which the aircraft was scheduled to arrive, or the date on which the carriage stopped. The method of calculating the period of limitation shall be determined by the law of the court where the case is heard.
