2. Article 2. SCOPE OF APPLICATION AND RIGHT TO TRANSPORT

2.1. These General Conditions of Carriage govern carriage on flights or portions of flights, operated or to be operated under the Amelia International flight number (Designation Code NL) or Amelia flight number (Designation Code 8R), whether the Ticket has been issued by the Carrier or an authorised third party, for payment or free of charge (unless otherwise provided for in a contractual document binding Amelia International or Amelia and the Passenger) or subject to a discount.

The General Conditions of Carriage define the rights and obligations of the Passenger and the Carrier pursuant to the Contract of Carriage or the right to carriage defined in Article 2.6.

2.2. The fact that one or more provisions of the General Conditions of Carriage are invalid shall not affect the validity of the other provisions of the said General Conditions of Carriage.

2.3. Carriage under these General Conditions of Carriage is subject to the rules of liability of Air Carriers in respect of the carriage of Passengers and their Baggage, as set out in the Montreal Convention of 28 May 1999, and Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EC) No. 889 of 13 May 2002 amending Council Regulation (EC) No. 2027 of 9 October 1997 or any other text applicable to carriage which may supplement or replace them.

2.4. The purchase of Amelia International/Amelia flights and/or carriage on Amelia International/Amelia flights implies the full acceptance by the Passenger of the General Conditions of Carriage and the unreserved acceptance of all the provisions set out in these General Conditions of Carriage.

2.5. Amelia International / Amelia may update these General Conditions of Carriage at any time, without prior notice. Therefore, Passengers are advised to review them each time they visit the website. The General Conditions of Carriage applicable to carriage are those in force at the time of purchase. However, certain provisions may be mandatory under the applicable law or regulations, in which case they shall apply to the carriage of the Passenger.

2.6. In the context of a carriage subject to a Charter Contract, the Passenger only acquires a right to carriage with respect to the organiser of his/her journey, being a natural or legal person with whom he/she has concluded a contract. Thus, this right may not be invoked against the Carrier in the event that the Charter Contract binding the Carrier with the trip organiser is not validly concluded or executed in accordance with the terms of the Charter Contract. This takes into account in particular the case of non-payment of the Charter by the Charterer.

2.7. When the issuer of the Ticket is not Amelia International / Amelia (the tour operator sends the Passenger a ticket designating Amelia International as carrier), the status of Effective Air Carrier by Amelia International / Amelia is acquired according to the terms of the contract concluded between Amelia International / Amelia and the third party.

2.8. The regulatory provisions set out in these General Conditions of Carriage are not exhaustive and do not exempt each passenger from taking any measures imposed on him/her by the authorities (French or foreign) in order to comply with the requirements of the various States.

2.9. The Ticket, these General Conditions of Carriage and any additional regulations made known to the purchaser prior to purchase constitute the terms of the contract of carriage between the Passenger and the Carrier.

3. Article 3. TIMETABLES AND TIMETABLE CHANGES – CARRIER SUBSTITUTIONS

3.1. The Passenger must contact their Tour Operator, if applicable, in order to confirm the times or their presence. If the Passenger has purchased their ticket from the Carrier or on the flyamelia.com website, they do not have to confirm their presence.

3.2. The flights indicated in the Schedules may change between the date of their publication and the date of their purchase due to external constraints or at the request of the Charterer.

3.3. The complexity of air transport operations does not allow the Carrier to guarantee strict compliance with schedules. Nevertheless, the Carrier undertakes to implement all necessary measures to carry Passengers and their Baggage with reasonable diligence. In this context, and in order to avoid the Cancellation of the carriage, the Carrier may be led to bring forward or delay the flight, to make one or more intermediate stops, to make the journey on another aircraft or on the services of another Carrier or by any other means of transport. The Carrier’s liability is then that provided for by the texts applicable to the liability of the air carrier.

3.4. In order to be contacted in the event of a change of timetable or irregularity, it is the Passenger’s responsibility to provide their contact details at the time of purchase.

3.5. Where the Passenger holds a single Contract of Carriage within the meaning of Article 36 of the Montreal Convention, the Carrier shall apply the provisions of the applicable regulations.

4. Article 4. COMMON PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE CARRIAGE OF PASSENGERS AND LUGGAGE AND RELATED LIABILITY

4.1. In the cases provided for in the Convention, any action for damages must be brought within five years of arrival at destination or of the day on which the aircraft should have landed or of the cessation of carriage.

4.2. The Carrier’s liability is governed by the Montreal Convention of 28 May 1999, implemented in the Community by Regulation (EC) No 2027/97 as amended by Regulation (EC) No 889/2002 and by French law.

• The Carrier shall in no way be held liable for any damage resulting from the Carrier’s compliance with any legal or regulatory provisions (laws, regulations, decisions, requirements and provisions), compliance with operational standards or standards imposed by the competent authorities, in particular the services responsible for civil aviation and/or air navigation, or from the Passenger’s failure to comply with such provisions.
• The Contract of Carriage, including the General Conditions of Carriage and the exclusions of liability or limitations recalled herein, apply to and benefit the Carrier’s authorised agents, its servants and agents when they acted within the scope of their duties, its representatives and the owner of the aircraft used by the Carrier as well as its crews, employees or representatives. The total amount of any sums paid above shall in no case exceed the amount of the Carrier’s liability as provided for in the Agreement. Their liability shall be determined in accordance with the conditions and limits provided for in the Agreement.

5. Article 5. PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE CARRIAGE OF PASSENGERS AND RELATED LIABILITY

5.7. Respective responsibilities of the Carrier with whom the contract has been concluded and the actual Carrier

If the Air Carrier performing the flight is not the one with which the contract has been concluded, the Passenger has the right to address a complaint or claim to either of them.

• Fragile objects.

         6.7.3 It is also reminded that the Carrier is entitled to be exempted from liability when the damage results from the nature or inherent vice of the Baggage.

6.8. Excess baggage and excess baggage

         6.8.1. Without having to pay a supplement, each Ticket entitles the holder to the carriage of a certain number of Baggage items (always limited in weight) determined according to :

• The fare paid and the class of transport,
• The Charterer of the flight, if applicable.

6.8.2. This baggage allowance is shown on the Ticket and must be taken into account in all cases.

6.8.3. The acceptance of Baggage in excess of the allowances (in number or weight) is subject to operational conditions at the time of flight.

         6.8.4. Checked Baggage accepted in the hold must not exceed certain weight and size limits, the maximum dimensions of Checked Baggage are defined as follows: height + width + depth (including wheels and handles) = 158 cm maximum. In any case, each Checked Baggage item may not exceed a maximum weight of 23 kg. Additional pieces or baggage exceeding the weight allowance will be subject to excess baggage charges. The conditions relating to the payment of excess Baggage at the airport are available on request at the Carrier’s sales points.

6.9. Specific goods

         6.9.1 Concerning oversized Baggage (i.e. Baggage weighing more than 23 kg and/or whose dimensions exceed 158 cm (height + width + depth, including wheels and handles), in particular nautical equipment, such as sailboards, long boards, paddles, etc.), the carriage of such Baggage is only possible after prior agreement from the Carrier. Therefore, at least 48 hours before departure, the Passenger must send a request to the following email address book@flyamelia.com in order for the carriage to be authorised. If the carriage is authorised, the Passenger must pay the price of the carriage of the oversized baggage/material, if applicable.

6.10. Carry-on baggage

         6.10.1. Only one piece of hand luggage is authorised in the cabin with maximum dimensions (length, height, depth) H 55 x W 35 x D 25 cm per Passenger. It remains in the custody of the Passenger. Passengers must comply with legal and regulatory requirements, in particular in terms of safety and security.

         6.10.2. The weight of such hand luggage shall not exceed 12 kg.

         6.10.3. Where a Passenger has attempted to carry Baggage in the cabin when the Baggage does not comply with the applicable conditions, the Passenger shall be deemed to have engaged in fraudulent behaviour. The Baggage may, at the sole discretion of the Carrier, be seized and :

• Rejected for carriage. The Baggage will then be made available to the Passenger at the airport where it is collected, with the Carrier not ensuring in any way the custody or preservation of the Baggage. The collection of the Baggage does not imply a deposit contract;
• Carried in the hold subject to the payment of any excess baggage, it will be governed by the liability regime applicable to Checked Baggage;
• The Carrier may refuse to board the Passenger if his/her behaviour justifies it.
  Passengers’ attention is drawn to the fact that, for sanitary reasons, foodstuffs or perishable goods contained in seized Baggage as well as the Baggage concerned may be destroyed, without the Carrier being held liable.

         6.10.4. Non-dangerous medicines are accepted in the cabin but must remain in the custody of the Passenger. Amelia International / Amelia staff are not authorised to take charge of the Passenger’s medication or vaccines. The Passenger must take into account the restriction on liquids contained in cabin baggage, since 6 November 2006. For medicines requiring refrigerated packaging, the Passenger must make all necessary arrangements, as the Carrier does not provide any specific equipment.

         6.10.5. The Carrier’s liability may not be sought in the event of Damage to unchecked Baggage, unless such Damage is the direct result of the fault of the Carrier, one of its employees or agents, which fault must be proven by the Passenger who invokes it.

6.11. Hold Baggage is checked in to the destination indicated on the Amelia International or Amelia ticket.

If the Passenger has a connecting flight with another airline, they must collect their Baggage after the Amelia International / Amelia flight and before checking in for the next flight. The Passenger must therefore enter the territory of the State in which the connection is made. Consequently, the Passenger must have the necessary travel documents to enter the territory to which Amelia International / Amelia is sending him/her, i.e. the country in which the connection is made, in addition to those necessary to enter the territory of final destination.

7. Article 7.

TRANSPORT OF ANIMALS – DOGS AND CATS ONLY

7.1. Dogs and cats are the only animals that may be carried in the cabin or in the hold subject to weight, size and availability. See definition of Pets and Service Animals.

7.2. In application of the law, the transport of category 1 dogs (attack dogs) is prohibited regardless of the mode of transport (hold, freight or cabin).

7.3. The Passenger is responsible for obtaining all necessary travel documents for his/her dog or cat, including but not limited to an up-to-date vaccination booklet, dog or cat passport, certificate of good health or any other entry/exit document for the country of destination. In any case, the dog and/or cat must be at least twelve (12) weeks old and must be up to date with the veterinary requirements of the country of departure, destination and transit, if applicable. Please note that since 3 July 2011, new rules are in force. In particular, and with some exceptions, only the microchip will be recognised as a means of identification for travel within the European Union, except for dogs or cats identified by tattoo before this date, provided that it is clearly legible. The new rules must be consulted beforehand on the website of the French Ministry of Agriculture, Food, Fisheries, Rural Affairs and Town and Country Planning: http://www.agriculture.gouv.fr/animaux-de-

7.4. Dogs and cats may be transported in the hold (or in the cabin, see 7.6) provided that they have a specific cage adapted to air transport (materials, locking mechanism, etc.) and payment of a surcharge (except for Assistance Animals). Prices are available from Amelia International / Amelia sales outlets.

7.5. The cage must be large enough to allow the dog or cat to stand and turn around. Only one dog or cat per cage is allowed. If the cage is not suitable, the dog or cat may not be transported.

7.6. In the cabin, the maximum weight of the dog or cat (including cage or bag) is 8 kg. If this weight is exceeded, the animal must travel in the hold. The cage or bag must not exceed the following size: W 40cm x H 23cm x D 55cm. It is recommended to use a soft bag that can be placed under the seat more easily. In the hold, the maximum weight including the cage is 60 kg.

However, the Carrier reserves the right to refuse carriage of dogs or cats if it reasonably believes that the health/safety of the dog or cat, persons or property is not assured or that the provisions of Article 7 are not complied with.

7.8. Service Animals are accepted in the cabin and do not occupy a seat. They may be taken on board regardless of their weight or size, the Passenger is advised to inform the Carrier 48 hours before the flight.

Nevertheless, the Carrier reserves the right:

• To ask Passengers to provide evidence that the Service Animal will not need to relieve itself or will be able to relieve itself without creating health or sanitary problems;
• For safety reasons, to refuse carriage in the cabin of an Assistance Animal within the limits of applicable law.

The carriage of Service Animals is free of charge and does not give rise to the payment of an excess. The Carrier reserves the right to ask the Passenger to provide proof that the animal is a Service Animal.

7.9. Where Amelia International / Amelia is not the Carrier

In the case of effective air travel, the carriage of Animals is prohibited in the cabin (except for Service Animals) and in the hold. However, some airlines accept the carriage of Pets, the Passenger must enquire with the Carrier.

7.10. Cabin travel for snub-nosed animals

Under stress, snub-nosed animals such as pugs, bulldogs, boxers, Pekingese, Shih Tzu and Persian cats can suffer from breathing difficulties. We therefore recommend that you seek the advice of your vet before travelling by plane.
