The terms and conditions of the third-party service provider shall apply, and we shall have no liability to the passenger in respect of those services, including any decision by the third-party provider to cancel or refuse service to the passenger, except where such liability arises from our own negligence.<\/span><\/p>\n

14.2. Travel document<\/span><\/p>\n

Before departure, the passenger must present to us all documents required by the laws, regulations, orders, decrees, requirements or conditions of the relevant countries, including passport, travel permit or other documents valid for entry and exit, and any other such papers. If we request it, the Passenger must allow us to hold and photocopy their passport or other equivalent identity documents, which will be handed over to a member of the flight crew for safekeeping until the end of the flight.

14.4. The Passenger is responsible for any fines and detention fees, as well as for the journey ticket as required by the Authorities<\/span><\/p>\n

If we are required to pay or deposit any fines or incur any costs because the Passenger fails to comply with the travel laws, regulations, orders, or other requirements of any relevant country, or does not possess the necessary documents, the Passenger must reimburse us for all such amounts paid or payable. We may use any payments the passenger has made to us but not yet utilized, or any funds we hold on the passenger\u2019s behalf, to cover the above charges.<\/span><\/p>\n

14.5. Customs or other official inspection<\/span><\/p>\n

If requested, the passenger must be present for customs officers or other authorities to inspect their baggage.

 <\/p>\n

ARTICLE 16. LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE<\/b><\/p>\n

16.1. General principles<\/span><\/p>\n

16.1.1. The Conditions of Carriage and the Applicable Law govern Our liability to the Passenger. If the Passenger\u2019s itinerary involves another carrier, that carrier\u2019s liability is governed by the applicable laws, unless otherwise provided in these Conditions of Carriage regarding their carriage conditions. Such carrier may have lower limits of liability.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.1.2. The Applicable Law may include the Convention and\/or laws which apply in individual countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.1.3. We shall be liable only for damage arising on flights operated by Us, or on flights for which We have legal responsibility to the Passenger. If We issue the Ticket or check-in Baggage for the Passenger on another carrier\u2019s flight, We do so only as an agent for that carrier.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.1.4. Article 16 stipulates the liability limits and summarizes the provisions We apply under the applicable laws. In the event of any conflict between this Article 16 and the applicable laws, the applicable laws shall prevail.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.2. Compensation liability for Damage to Passenger\u2019s death or injury<\/span><\/p>\n

Our liability for proven damages sustained in the case of death or injured of a Passenger when the accident arising out of or in connection with carriage performed by Us shall be subject to the rules and limits set forth under applicable laws, as well as the following supplementary provisions:<\/span><\/p>\n

16.2.1. The liability limits for each Passenger who sustained death or injured shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Convention. We shall not be liable for damage sustained by each Passenger in excess of the limits specified in the Convention if we can prove that:<\/span><\/p>\n

(i) The damage was not due to the negligence, other wrongful acts, or omissions of Us, Our employees, or Our Designated Agent; or<\/span><\/p>\n

(ii) The damage was solely due to the negligence, other wrongful acts, or omissions of a third party.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.2.2. We are liable for damages to Passenger when the accident took place on board the aircraft or in the course of any of operations of embarking or disembarkation. If the damage was caused by the Passenger\u2019s fault, We may be exonerated wholly or partly from Our liability.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.2.3. We shall make advance payments to the Passenger or the person entitled to claim compensation in accordance with Our Other Regulations, which comply with applicable laws. Such advance payments shall not constitute a recognition of Our liability and shall be offset against any amounts subsequent compensation paid as damage by Us.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.3 Compensation liability for Damage to Baggage<\/span><\/p>\n

16.3.1. We shall not be liable for Damage to Unchecked Baggage (other than Damage caused by delay) unless the Damage was resulted from Our fault or that of Our Designated Agent.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.3.2. In accordance with the Applicable Law, We shall not be liable for Damage result from the inherent defect, quality, or vice of the Baggage. Likewise, We will not be liable for fair wear and tear of Baggage resulting from the ordinary handling and moving during air transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.3.3. The limit of Our liability for Damage to Baggage (including both Unchecked Baggage and Checked Baggage) in the case of destruction, loss, damage, or delay shall be as prescribed by the Convention, or a higher amount not exceeding the declared sum under Article 9.7 of these Conditions of Carriage (unless We can demonstrate that the declared sum is greater than the actual interest).<\/span><\/p>\n

16.3.4. We compensate for Damage to Baggage based on actual Damage suffered, but not exceeding Our liability limit. Passenger shall be responsible for providing evidence of the actual Damage to their Baggage.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.3.5. These liability limits shall not apply if the Damage to Baggage resulted from an act or omission of Us, Our employees, or Our Designated Agent, done intentionally or recklessly and with knowledge that damage would probably result. If such act was committed by an employee or a agent, it is also proved that such employee or agent was acting within the scope of their duties.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.3.6. If the Passenger\u2019s itinerary is subject to relevant national laws, the liability limits for Damage to Checked Baggage and Unchecked Baggage under such laws shall apply to the Passenger\u2019s Baggage.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.3.7. If the Passenger\u2019s journey is not subject to the Convention and the laws of the country concerned do not set liability limits for Damage to Checked Baggage and Unchecked Baggage, We will apply the liability limits specified in Article 16.3.3 of these Conditions of Carriage.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.3.8. Passenger may declare the value (in accordance with Article 9.7 of these Conditions of Carriage) or purchase separate insurance for their Baggage if the actual value or replacement cost of Checked Baggage exceeds Our liability limit.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.3.9. If the weight or number of pieces of Baggage is not specified on the Excess Baggage Ticket, it is presumed that the total weight or number of Checked Baggage does not exceed the free allowance for the Passenger\u2019s service class, as disclosed by Us in accordance with applicable laws.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.3.10. We shall not be liable for Damage to Baggage occasioned by delay if We can prove that We, Our employees, and Our Designated Agent (i) took all measures that could reasonably to avoid such Damage but the Damage nonetheless occurred, or (ii) were unable to take such measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.3.11. We shall not be liable for any injury to the Passenger or any Damage to the Passenger\u2019s Baggage caused by items contained in the Passenger\u2019s own Baggage or anyone else\u2019s Baggage. Passenger shall be liable for any Damage caused by their Baggage to others, including property, and shall indemnify Us for all losses and expenses We incur as a result thereof<\/span><\/p>\n

16.3.12. We are not liable for damage to any items listed in Article 9.3.3 of these Conditions of Carriage when contained in Passenger\u2019s Checked Baggage that has not been declared as high-value Baggage, nor for damage to similar items, whether or not We were aware of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.3.13. We are not liable for any Damage to Passenger\u2019s Baggage resulting from the Passenger\u2019s failure to comply with Article 9.4.4 of these Conditions of Carriage, including failing to receive Baggage, complete Baggage check-in, or re-tag baggage identification tag for carriage on a flight operated by another carrier with whom we have no interline agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.3.14. We shall not be liable for any damage to Baggage, unless such damage results from Our fault. If the damage is partly due to the Passenger\u2019s fault, our liability shall be governed by the Applicable Law determining the apportionment of liability.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.4. Compensation liability for damage occasioned by delay in the carriage of Passenger<\/span><\/p>\n

16.4.1. Our liability for Damage occasioned by delay in the carriage of Passenger is limited by the Convention.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.4.2. Whether or not the Convention applies to Passenger\u2019s claim for compensation, We shall not be liable for any Damage occasioned by delay if we can prove that We, Our employees, and Designated Agent (i) took all measures that could reasonably to avoid such Damage but the Damage nevertheless occurred, or (ii) were unable to take such measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.5. Other rules<\/span><\/p>\n

To the extent not in inconsistent with the foregoing provisions, and whether or not the Convention applies:<\/span><\/p>\n

16.5.1. We are not liable for any Damage resulting from Our compliance with, or the Passenger\u2019s failure to comply with applicable laws.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.5.2. Unless otherwise provided in these Conditions of Carriage, Our liability for compensation shall be limited to actual Damage proven by the Passenger and in accordance with applicable laws.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.5.3. If a Passenger is carried in a mental, age-related, or physical condition that may pose a hazard or risk to that Passenger, We shall not be liable for any illness, injury, disability, or death resulting from that one of such conditions or its consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.5.4. Any exclusion or limitation of Our liability shall also apply to and be for the benefit of Our employees and Our Designated Agent, as well as the owner of any aircraft operated by Us and their employees, servants, and representatives. The total amount of compensation for damage payable by Us, Our employees, and Our Designated Agent shall not exceed the liability limits set forth in these Conditions of Carriage and relevant Applicable Law.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.5.5. Unless otherwise provided in these Conditions of Carriage, nothing in these Conditions of Carriage gives up any exclusion or limitation of Our liability under the Convention or applicable law.<\/span><\/p>\n

16.5.6. We shall be not liable for any Damage caused by Force Majeure.<\/span><\/p>\n
