In the event that:

any Aircraft required for the operation of any Flight is detained (whether lawfully or not) by any third party (including but not limited to detention by any aviation or airport authority, overflight authority or by way of lien or requisition for hire or otherwise); or

if the Carrier has an administrator, receiver, administrative receiver, trustee or other like person appointed over a part or all of its assets or business and as a result the Carrier is unable to perform the Flights at the same cost to the Carrier; or

if the Carrier becomes insolvent, enters into voluntary liquidation or is compulsorily wound up then By Appointment DMC shall use reasonable endeavours to find an alternative carrier to operate such Flights as may be affected by the occurrence of any of the above events. Where the cost of replacement exceeds the provisions of the guarantee then any additional costs in securing an alternative carrier shall be for the account of the Charterer.

If a Flight is, or is to be delayed beyond the scheduled time of departure by reason of any failure by the Charterer or any passenger to comply with its obligations hereunder or any other act or omission on the part of the Charterer or any passenger, in all cases which is not attributable to Force Majeure or otherwise not beyond Charterer’s or any passenger’s control, then By Appointment DMC shall use reasonable endeavours to make arrangements with the Carrier to re-schedule the affected Flight provided always that the Charterer shall indemnify By Appointment DMC in respect of any loss incurred by, or increased charges levied on, By Appointment DMC as a result of such delay.

IfBy Appointment DMC By Appointment DMC is unable to make arrangements with the Carrier to re-schedule the affected Flight, By Appointment DMC reserves the right in such circumstances to cancel the Charter Agreement with respect to the affected Flight, and to charge the Charterer the applicable cancellation charges in the Charter Contract.

In the event of any delay (other than any delay for technical reasons the responsibility and liability for which shall lie with the Carrier) deviation or diversion of any Flight, the Charterer shall be solely responsible for any and all accommodation, refreshments, meals, transportation or any other additional costs, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities of whatsoever nature incurred in respect of the Charterer’s passengers wherever and howsoever the same shall arise.

The Charterer may cancel a Flight pursuant to this Agreement at any time prior to departure by notice in writing to By Appointment DMC, subject to the cancellation terms set out in the Charter Contract.

Cancellation charges shall vary depending on the Carrier and Flight(s) to be performed. By Appointment DMC shall use reasonable endeavours to minimise cancellation charges raised by the Carrier however the Charterer acknowledges that such charges will be levied upon By Appointment DMC in the event of Charterer’s cancellation and as such, the cancellation charges as between By Appointment DMC and Charterer represent a genuine pre-estimate of the loss that By Appointment DMC will suffer and do not in any way represent a penalty.

7. Aircraft and Crew

The captain of the Aircraft shall have complete discretion concerning preparation of the load carried and its distribution and of the Aircraft for flight, whether or not a Flight shall be undertaken or abandoned once undertaken and deviation from proposed route, where landing shall be made and all such other matters relating to the operation of the Aircraft and the Charterer shall accept all such decisions as final and binding.

All ground and operating personnel, including cabin staff, are authorised to take orders only from the Carrier unless specific written agreement shall first have been obtained from the Carrier whereby certain defined instructions may be accepted by such personnel from the Charterer.

Subject always to the Carrier’s conditions of carriage, in the event that a passenger’s conduct, behaviour or health is deemed by the captain of the Aircraft to cause, or be likely to cause, discomfort or nuisance to other passengers or jeopardise the safety of the passengers and/or the Aircraft, then the captain of the Aircraft shall be entitled to take any action deemed necessary to procure the safety of the passengers and Aircraft including, but not limited to diverting or returning to the airport of departure and/or removing the passenger(s) in question. If such action is deemed necessary, Charterer shall compensate By Appointment DMC against any loss incurred by By Appointment DMC as a result of such diversion and removal.

8. Exclusion of Liability

By Appointment DMC is not an air carrier neither is it an operator of aircraft or agent of the Carrier and accordingly shall not be deemed to undertake any carriage to which this Agreement relates as a common carrier.

The Charterer hereby acknowledges that it recognises that By Appointment DMC is not in any way responsible for the acts, omissions or defaults of the Carrier or the failure of the Carrier to perform its obligations contemplated hereunder and hereby waives any claims against By Appointment DMC for the Carrier’s acts, omissions and defaults, including but not limited to, technical failure of the Aircraft resulting in accident, cancellation or delay.
