Sec. 4. CHECKED BAGGAGE Upon delivery to PPA of your Baggage to be checked, PPA shall take custody thereof and issue a Baggage Tag. If the Baggage has no name, initials or other personal identification, you shall affix such identification to the Baggage prior to acceptance by PPA. Checked Baggage will be carried on the same flight as you, subject to considerations of safety, security, or any other legal and valid cause, in which case, PPA will carry the Checked Baggage on PPA's next flight on which space is available. PPA reserves the right to restrict the weight, size and character of Baggage according to capacity and accommodation of the particular aircraft. You must ensure that the Checked Baggage is sufficiently robust and well secured to withstand the usual and normal rigors of carriage by air without sustaining damage except for ordinary wear and tear.

PPA may refuse to carry as Baggage any item, reasonably considered by PPA to be unsuitable for carriage by reason of its size, shape, weight, content, or character; or for safety or operational reasons; or for the comfort of other Passengers. PPA may refuse to accept Baggage as Checked Baggage unless it is properly packed in suitcases or other similar containers to ensure safe carriage with ordinary care in handling. PPA may refuse to carry as Baggage any item, due to security, safety or operational reasons, including Baggage which does not belong to you or which you have pooled with your Baggage. PPA will not be liable for such Baggage and PPA reserves the right to seek indemnity from you in respect of claims or losses incurred as a result of damage caused to it. Subject to laws, rules, or government regulations, PPA shall carry passenger wheelchairs or other disability-assistive devices, unless such carriage would be inconsistent with safety requirements. PPA shall not check through Baggage for other carriers with whom it does not have an interline agreement with.

If you are unwilling to comply with such request, PPA may refuse to carry you and/or your Baggage. In the event a search or scan causes damage to your Baggage, PPA shall not be liable for such damage unless due to its fault or negligence. The right of search of PPA does not impose an obligation on PPA, nor does it constitute an agreement, either express or implied, by PPA to allow carriage of items which would otherwise be precluded from carriage under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article. Sec. 8. EXCESS VALUE DECLARATION AND CHARGES You may declare a value for Checked Baggage in excess of the applicable limits of liability. If you make such a declaration, you shall pay the applicable charges in accordance with PPA’s Tariffs. PPA shall have the option to inspect the Checked Baggage to ascertain veracity of the declared value. PPA will refuse to accept an excess value declaration on Checked Baggage when a portion of the carriage is to be provided by another carrier which does not offer the facility. Except as otherwise provided in PPA's Tariffs, excess value charges shall apply for the entire travel and shall be payable at the point of origin, provided that if at a Stopover en route, you declare a higher excess value than that originally declared, additional excess value charges for the increased declared value from such Stopover to final destination shall be payable. Sec. 9. COLLECTION AND DELIVERY OF BAGGAGE You are required to collect your Baggage as soon as it is available for collection at places of destination or Stopover. Should you not collect it within a reasonable time, PPA may charge you a storage fee. Only the bearer of the Baggage Tag is entitled to delivery of Baggage. If a person claiming the Baggage is unable to produce the Baggage Tag and identify the Baggage by any other means, PPA will deliver the Baggage to such person only on the condition that he or she establishes to PPA's satisfaction his or her right to the same. PPA also reserves the right to require such person to furnish adequate security to indemnify PPA for any possible loss, damage or expense which may be incurred by PPA as a result of such delivery. Acceptance of Baggage by the bearer of the Baggage Tag without written complaint at the time of delivery is proof that the Baggage has been delivered in good condition and in accordance with these General Conditions of Carriage. Sec. 10. UNCLAIMED BAGGAGE Any Baggage which is unclaimed after being in PPA's possession for thirty (30) days shall be disposed of by PPA in any manner it deems proper. Sec. 11. ANIMALS Carriage of animals by PPA shall be subject to the following conditions: You must ensure that animals, such as dogs, cats, household birds and other pets, are properly crated and accompanied by valid health and vaccination certificates, entry permits, and other documents required by countries of entry or transit, failing which, they will not be accepted for carriage. Animals may be accepted for carriage as Checked Baggage, subject to PPA's Tariffs. If accepted, the animal, together with its container and food carried, shall not be included in your free baggage allowance, and will constitute excess baggage, for which you will be required to pay the applicable excess baggage rate. Animals shall not be carried in the Passenger cabin. However, PPA may issue policies to allow service animals, such as guide dogs, accompanying Passengers with disability, consistent with applicable laws, rules, and government regulations. Provided that, containers and food of such animal shall be considered as Checked Baggage and will be carried subject to PPA's Tariffs. You shall assume full responsibility for the animal carried: (i) Where carriage is not subject to the liability rules of the Convention, PPA shall not be liable for any injury to or loss, sickness or death of such animal.

PERSON TO WHOM REFUND WILL BE MADE Except as provided in this Article, refund shall be made either to the Passenger, or to the person who has paid for the Ticket upon presentation of satisfactory proof of entitlement to the refund. If a Ticket has been paid for by a person other than the Passenger, and PPA, upon instruction of such person, has so indicated on the Ticket that there is a restriction on refund, PPA shall make a refund only to that person paying for the Ticket or to that person's order. A refund made to anyone holding himself or herself out as a person to whom refund may be made in terms of (a) above shall be deemed a proper refund and shall discharge PPA from liability and any further claim for refund. Refund due to Tickets paid for with credit cards will only be charged back to the credit card accounts originally used for the Ticket purchase. The refundable amount to be charged back to the credit card account of the card owner may vary from the originally debited amount due to differences in the exchange rate. Such variances do not entitle the recipient of the refund to a claim against PPA. PPA shall not be held liable for any damages that may result from the ticket cancellation. If the credit card used is not under Passenger’s account name, Passenger warrants that the he/she and the credit card holder both agreed that: 1) either the Passenger or credit card holder may apply for online refund; and 2) the refund will automatically be charged back to the credit card account originally used. Sec. 3. INVOLUNTARY REFUNDS If PPA cancels a flight, or fails to operate a flight reasonably according to schedule, or fails to stop at a point to which you are destined or ticketed to Stopover, or is unable to provide previously confirmed space, the amount of the refund shall be subject to these General Conditions of Carriage, PPA’s Tariffs, and applicable laws, rules, and government regulations. Sec. 4. VOLUNTARY REFUNDS If you are entitled to a refund of your Ticket for reasons other than those set out in Section 3 of this Article, the amount of the refund shall be in accordance with PPA's Tariffs. Sec. 5. RIGHT TO REFUSE REFUND PPA may refuse refund when your application is made thirty (30) days after the expiry of the validity of the Ticket. PPA may refuse refund on a Ticket which has been presented to PPA or other carriers or to government officials of a country as evidence of intention to depart from such country, unless you are able to establish to PPA's satisfaction that you have permission from the government to remain in the country or that you will depart such country by another carrier or by another means of transport. PPA may refuse refund in the circumstances covered by Article 7, Section 2 of these General Conditions of Carriage. Sec. 6. CURRENCY All refunds will be subject to applicable laws, rules, and government regulations of the country in which the Ticket was originally purchased and of the country in which the refund is being made. Subject to the foregoing provision, refunds will normally be made in the currency in which the Ticket was paid but may be made in another currency in accordance with PPA's Tariffs.

LIMITS ON LIABILITY ON INTERNATIONAL CARRIAGE Unless otherwise stated in these General Conditions of Carriage, International Carriage, as defined in the Convention, is subject to the liability rules of the Convention. Sec. 3. LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE Where your carriage is not subject to the liability rules of the Convention, our liability provisions are as follows: PPA will not be liable to you for any loss or expense incurred due to your failure to comply with any of the provisions of this General Conditions of Carriage. PPA is not liable if it proves that it or any of its agents have taken all necessary measures to avoid the damage or that it was impossible for it to take such measure. In the carriage of Baggage, PPA is not liable if it proves that the damage was occasioned by negligence in the handling of the aircraft or in navigation and that, in all other respects, it has taken all necessary measures to avoid the damage. PPA is liable only for damage occurring on its own line or air services. When PPA issues a Ticket or Baggage Tag over the lines or air services of another carrier, PPA does so only as agent for such other carrier and assumes no responsibility for the acts or omissions of such other carrier. Nevertheless, with respect to Checked Baggage, you shall have a right of action against the first or last carrier. PPA is not liable for damage to Unchecked Baggage unless such damage is caused by the negligence of PPA. If there has been contributory negligence on your part, PPA's liability shall be subject to the applicable laws, rules, and government regulation relating to contributory negligence. PPA is not liable for damage arising from its compliance with any laws, rules, and government regulations, orders or requirements, or from your failure to comply with the same. If in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and government regulations, different limits of liability are applicable such different limits shall apply. If the weight of the Baggage is not recorded on the Baggage Tag, it is presumed that the total weight of the Checked Baggage does not exceed the applicable free baggage allowance for the class of service concerned. If in the case of Checked Baggage a higher value is declared pursuant to Article 8, Section 7, the liability of PPA shall be limited to such higher declared value. PPA's limit of liability shall not exceed the amount of proven damages. PPA shall furthermore not be liable for indirect or consequential damages. PPA is not liable for injury to you or for damage to your Baggage caused by property contained in your Baggage. In the event that your property causes injury to another person or damage to another person's property or to PPA’s property, you shall indemnify PPA for all losses and expenses incurred by PPA as its result. PPA is not liable for loss or damage to fragile or perishable items, money, jewelry, precious metals, silverware, negotiable papers, securities, or other valuables, business documents, passports and other identification documents or samples. Carriage of the foregoing shall be allowed only under special arrangements with PPA. PPA is not liable for any consequence resulting solely from your state of health. The aggregate amount you may claim from PPA, including from Authorized Agents, employees, or representatives shall not exceed the limits of liability as prescribed in these General Conditions of Carriage. Unless so expressly provided nothing herein contained shall waive any exclusion or limitation of liability of PPA under the Convention or applicable laws, rules, and government regulations. In the Domestic Carriage of persons, the limit of liability for death or injury of persons attributable solely to the act, omission or negligence of PPA and not due to any cause beyond its control, shall be governed by the relevant local law or regulation. In the Domestic Carriage of Checked Baggage, the limit of liability for loss, damage or delay of the Checked Baggage or of any object contained in the Baggage, attributable solely to the act, omission or negligence of PPA and not by any cause beyond its control, shall be governed by the relevant local law or regulation. Article 14 DENIED BOARDING COMPENSATION Section 1. DENIED BOARDING Subject to the exceptions provided under Section 2 of this Article, PPA shall compensate Passengers holding confirmed reservations and who have undergone all the prerequisite formalities for check-in, but were denied boarding due solely to unavailability of space, in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and government regulations.
