3. Early Termination

Either Party may terminate this Agreement before the natural expiry of the Term by providing prior written notice to the other Party of nine (9) months.

4. Incentive Exceptions

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, all Incentives and Eligible Booking volume calculations may be adjusted by Amadeus (i) where the Provider makes, or has made before the Effective Date, its content available in the System in exchange for a direct or indirect reduction of Amadeus booking related distribution fees or at a charge, and/or (ii) with respect to Provider content that becomes part of a Provider and/or Amadeus content program, and/or (iii) with respect to Provider content for which the Provider restricts payment of incentives, (the “Affected Content”).

In any such event, Amadeus will notify Customer in writing of the terms and conditions applicable to bookings of Affected Content. Such terms and conditions may include, but are not limited to, a reduction in Incentives or the imposition of applicable charges with respect to the Affected Content. The Parties will discuss in good faith any such terms and conditions upon the Customer’s request. Subject to the foregoing, the terms and conditions with respect to the Affected Content will apply upon the date stated in Amadeus’ notice, unless otherwise agreed between Amadeus and Customer. If Customer chooses not to accept such terms and conditions by notifying Amadeus within 30 days of Amadeus’ notice, then: (i) Amadeus may restrict access to the Affected Content, and/or (ii) no Incentives will apply on such Affected Content. For clarification(a) content not in the System as of the Effective Date that becomes available after the Effective Date, and (b) content that is booked on low cost or budget Providers and/or via Amadeus ticketless access, will not qualify for Incentives unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.

At the time Amadeus notifies Customer that it will apply the terms of this provision, Customer may request that an international auditing firm such as Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG or PWC (the “Auditor”) verifies Amadeus’ compliance with this provision. Customer shall bear the cost of such audit. The Auditor will issue a report which shall be limited to confirming whether Amadeus meets the requirements of this provision. Amadeus will pay the cost of such audit if the report indicates that the requirements of this provision were not met. The Auditor will be subject to a confidentiality agreement to ensure confidentiality of Amadeus and its Provider’s information.

Amadeus has programs and/or arrangements in place in certain markets as of the Effective Date with respect to certain air Providers. Such programs and/or arrangements will apply to the affected Customer Offices. All such programs and/or arrangements are subject to change upon notice to the Customer.

Annexure 2

The Amadeus GDS Fare Guarantee policy

This document describes the Fare Guarantee Policy (the “Policy”) which Amadeus GDS applies when reviewing fare claims for the possible reimbursement of ADM’s issued by airlines. Amadeus GDS will consider investigating the cause of ADM’s issued by airlines that meet the standards identified in this Policy. (Detailed below)

Amadeus GDS will review such claims on a case-by-case basis and will take the criteria outlined in this Policy into consideration as it determines the validity of the ADM. In no event should this Policy be construed to, or relied upon, to guarantee the lowest fare. Rather, this Policy represents a good-faith effort on the part of Amadeus GDS to promote fare accuracy at the time of ticketing.

The Amadeus GDS Fare Guarantee

Amadeus GDS guarantees fares, taxes, surcharges and fees that have been quoted with Amadeus GDS automatic pricing functions and ticketed on Amadeus GDS ticketing systems. Unless ticketed, the fare quote is not covered by the Amadeus GDS guarantee, regardless of the auto pricing function used or ticketing indicators. This applies for both online and offline agents alike.

To identify if the ticketed fare might qualify for the guarantee, following conditions must be met:

 

  1. The fare was quoted using an Amadeus GDS automatic pricing function without any overrides and a fare record (TST) was automatically stored with a fare calculation mode indicator (FCMI) of “I” (letter I)

 

  2. The ticket was issued on the same day as the creation of the TST without using any overrides, so that the validation box of the ticket shows a ‘Fail code’ of “0” (number zero.

 

  3. PNRs ticketed using Private fares with TST indicator “I” and Fail Code “F”, Negotiated fares (only ATPCO loaded) with TST indicator “F” and Fail Code “N” and Published fares with a net remit – TST indicator “I” and Fail Code “Z” are also accepted for investigations.

Fare Claims not Covered by Amadeus

If the cause of a claim is found to be due to one of the below exceptions, the claim will be rejected regardless of the auto pricing and ticketing indicators, and hence such claims will not be eligible for compensation.

 

  1. Fares, rules, taxes and surcharges incorrectly filed by an airline or any other non-Amadeus GDS party that has resulted in a pricing discrepancy.

 

  2. Negotiated fares entered by airlines or travel agencies, including Dynamic discount Fares; or those fares uploaded from third-party applications.

 

  3. Carrier rules filed either as “free text” / “NOTES” in any rules category or in the Rules Application section.

 

  4. Fare displays (FQD), “Low Fare Search” (FXC/FXD) displays and informative pricing (FQP). These types of display are for Information only, and there is no guarantee that the results will include the lowest possible fare or the bookability of any given fare.

The portions of this document marked by “XXXX” have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

  5. Tickets containing OPEN Eligible Segments. In these cases it is not possible to price a specific airline fare level.

 

  6. Discrepancies between Amadeus GDS fare quote and other pricing systems (GDSs).

 

  7. Tickets issued in any other system than Amadeus.

 

  8. Obvious under collections (extremely low fares which logically may not be possible. For E.g. INR5 for a economy class ticket)

 

  9. Ticket data manually overridden or updated (TST indicator changing to M1 or another number depending on the type of intervention).

 

  10. ADMs resulting from pricing entries being manipulated to override the system default selection. For e.g. manually specifying stopover/transit points, pricing by fare basis (/L- option).

 

  11. Misuse of pricing discounts (for e.g. pricing a seamen discount for a non-seamen).

 

  12. Ticket commissions contested by airlines, which are not result of configuration changes by Amadeus.

 

  13. Tickets resulting from or associated with misuse of Amadeus GDS system.

 

  14. Violations of ticket restrictions (advance purchase rules).

 

  15. Violations of Sales restrictions category within the fare rules (including not adhering to ticket stock restriction warning messages)

 

  16. ADMs issued as a result of travel agencies cancelling and rebooking flight Eligible Segments as a means of extending ticketing time limit.

 

  17. ADMs issued as a result of travel agency not complying with the carriers’ policies.

 

  18. Prepaid ticket advices (PTA).

 

  19. Any tax discrepancies (Including manipulation to under collect surcharges/taxes/fees) resulting from applying inappropriate validating carrier (other than the validating carrier chosen by the system by default) to price an itinerary.

 

  20. Overpayments

 

  21. Fares priced using Temporary Ticketing (TY) Mode

Eligibility/Prerequisites for making a fare claim

 

    The claim should fully comply with the above stated Amadeus GDS Fare Guarantee policy.

 

    A legible copy of ADM should be submitted.

 

    Maximum time limit condition for fare quote claims – 12 months after date of ticket issuance.

 

    Legible copy of any costs incurred (receipts etc.) should be submitted.

 

    Wherever possible clearly identify the cause of ADM.

 

    If possible furnish the details of expected fare wherever applicable.

 

    Provide with the Amadeus PNR where ticket was Issued.
