NOTICE CONCERNING CARRIERS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

If the carriage involves an ultimate destination or stop in a country other than the country of departure, the Montreal Convention or the Warsaw Convention may be applicable to
the liability of the Carrier in respect of loss of, damage or delay to cargo. Carrier's limitation of liability in accordance with those Conventions shall be as set forth in subparagraph
4 unless a higher value is declared.

CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT
1. In this contract and the Notices appearing hereon:
CARRIER includes the air carrier issuing this air waybill and all carriers that
carry or undertake to carry the cargo or perform any other services related to
such carriage.
SPECIAL DRAWING RIGHT (SDR) is a Special Drawing Right as defined by the
International Monetary Fund.
WARSAW CONVENTION means whichever of the following instruments is
applicable to the contract of carriage:
the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to International
Carriage by Air, signed at Warsaw, 12 October 1929;
that Convention as amended at The Hague on 28 September 1955;
that Convention as amended at The Hague 1955 and by Montreal Protocol No.
1, 2, or 4 (1975) as the case may be.
MONTREAL CONVENTION means the Convention for the Unification of Certain
Rules for International Carriage by Air, done at Montreal on 28 May 1999.
2. 2.1

2.2

Carriage is subject to the rules relating to liability established by the

Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention unless such carriage is
not international carriage as defined by the applicable Conventions.
To the extent not in conflict with the foregoing, carriage and other related
services performed by each Carrier are subject to:
2.2.1

applicable laws and government regulations;

2.2.2

provisions contained in the air waybill, Carriers conditions of

carriage and related rules, regulations, and timetables (but not the
times of departure and arrival stated therein) and applicable
tariffs of such Carrier, which are made part hereof, and which may
be inspected at any airports or other cargo sales offices from
which it operates regular services. When carriage is to/from the
USA, the shipper and the consignee are entitled, upon request, to
receive a free copy of the Carriers conditions of carriage. The
Carriers conditions of carriage include, but are not limited to:
2.2.2.1 limits on the Carriers liability for loss, damage or delay
of goods, including fragile or perishable goods;
2.2.2.2 claims restrictions, including time periods within which
shippers or consignees must file a claim or bring an
action against the Carrier for its acts or omissions, or
those of its agents;
2.2.2.3 rights, if any, of the Carrier to change the terms of the
contract;

In carriage to which neither the Warsaw Convention nor the Montreal

Convention applies Carrier shall, in accordance with the procedures set
forth in its general conditions of carriage and applicable tariffs, permit
shipper to increase the limitation of liability by declaring a higher value for
carriage and paying a supplemental charge if so required.

7. 7.1

In cases of loss of, damage or delay to part of the cargo, the weight to be
taken into account in determining Carriers limit of liability shall be only the
weight of the package or packages concerned.

7.2

Notwithstanding any other provisions, for foreign air transportation as

defined by the U.S. Transportation Code:
7.2.1

in the case of loss of, damage or delay to a shipment, the weight

to be used in determining Carriers limit of liability shall be the
weight which is used to determine the charge for carriage of such
shipment; and

7.2.2

in the case of loss of, damage or delay to a part of a shipment,

the shipment weight in 7.2.1 shall be prorated to the packages
covered by the same air waybill whose value is affected by the
loss, damage or delay. The weight applicable in the case of loss
or damage to one or more articles in a package shall be the
weight of the entire package.

8. Any exclusion or limitation of liability applicable to Carrier shall apply to Carriers

agents, employees, and representatives and to any person whose aircraft or
equipment is used by Carrier for carriage and such persons agents, employees
and representatives.
9. Carrier undertakes to complete the carriage with reasonable dispatch. Where
permitted by applicable laws, tariffs and government regulations, Carrier may
use alternative carriers, aircraft or modes of transport without notice but with due
regard to the interests of the shipper. Carrier is authorized by the shipper to
select the routing and all intermediate stopping places that it deems appropriate
or to change or deviate from the routing shown on the face hereof.
10. Receipt by the person entitled to delivery of the cargo without complaint shall be
prima facie evidence that the cargo has been delivered in good condition and in
accordance with the contract of carriage.
10.1 In the case of loss of, damage or delay to cargo a written complaint must
be made to Carrier by the person entitled to delivery. Such complaint must
be made:

2.2.2.4 rules about Carriers right to refuse to carry;

10.1.1 in the case of damage to the cargo, immediately after discovery of

the damage and at the latest within 14 days from the date of
receipt of the cargo;

2.2.2.5 rights of the Carrier and limitations concerning delay or

failure to perform service, including schedule changes,
substitution of alternate Carrier or aircraft and rerouting.

10.1.2 in the case of delay, within 21 days from the date on which the
cargo was placed at the disposal of the person entitled to delivery.

3. The agreed stopping places (which may be altered by Carrier in case of

necessity) are those places, except the place of departure and place of
destination, set forth on the face hereof or shown in Carriers timetables as
scheduled stopping places for the route. Carriage to be performed hereunder by
several successive Carriers is regarded as a single operation.
4. For carriage to which the Montreal Convention does not apply, Carriers liability
limitation for cargo lost, damaged or delayed shall be 19 SDRs per
kilogram unless a greater per kilogram monetary limit is provided in any
applicable Convention or in Carriers tariffs or general conditions of carriage.
5. 5.1

6.2

Except when the Carrier has extended credit to the consignee without the
written consent of the shipper, the shipper guarantees payment of all
charges for the carriage due in accordance with Carriers tariff, conditions
of carriage and related regulations, applicable laws (including national
laws implementing the Warsaw Convention and the Montreal Convention),
government regulations, orders and requirements.

5.2

When no part of the consignment is delivered, a claim with respect to

such consignment will be considered even though transportation charges
thereon are unpaid.

6. 6.1

For cargo accepted for carriage, the Warsaw Convention and the Montreal
Convention permit shipper to increase the limitation of liability by
declaring a higher value for carriage and paying a supplemental charge if
required.

10.1.3 in the case of non-delivery of the cargo, within 120 days from the
date of issue of the air waybill, or if an air waybill has not been
issued, within 120 days from the date of receipt of the cargo for
transportation by the Carrier.
10.2 Such complaint may be made to the Carrier whose air waybill was used,
or to the first Carrier or to the last Carrier or to the Carrier, which
performed the carriage during which the loss, damage or delay took place.
10.3 Unless a written complaint is made within the time limits specified in 10.1
no action may be brought against Carrier.
10.4 Any rights to damages against Carrier shall be extinguished unless an
action is brought within two years 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.
11. Shipper shall comply with all applicable laws and government regulations of any
country to or from which the cargo may be carried, including those relating to the
packing, carriage or delivery of the cargo, and shall furnish such information and
attach such documents to the air waybill as may be necessary to comply with
such laws and regulations. Carrier is not liable to shipper and shipper shall
indemnify Carrier for loss or expense due to shippers failure to comply with this
provision.
12. No agent, employee or representative of Carrier has authority to alter, modify or
waive any provisions of this contract.
