However, the General Conditions of Carriage are not applicable in situations where they are contrary to the law in force or to the Tariffs filed, in which case, this right or these Tariffs would prevail.
In the event of a difference between the General Conditions of Carriage and the Regulations of the Carrier, the General Conditions of Carriage will prevail. In the event of the invalidation of one or more provisions of the General Conditions of Carriage, the other provisions of the General Conditions of Carriage will remain valid and will be applicable.
2.2 Code Sharing
Some DreamJet airline services may be subject to a Code-Sharing agreement with other carriers. In such cases, the General Conditions of Carriage will apply and the Passenger will be informed of the identity of the Carrier, at the time of Booking or at the latest during check-in.
Article 3 - Tickets
3.1 Ticket Properties
Tickets are nominative. Only Passengers whose names appear on the Ticket may be carried. The identity of the ticket holder can be verified at any time.
Unless otherwise specified, the beneficiary of a Ticket, identified as such on the Ticket, is not authorized to transfer or transfer the Ticket.
Tickets sold by the Carrier or an Authorized Agent may be, depending on the case, partially or completely non-refundable. It is up to the Passenger to choose the Rates that best meet their expectations and to ensure that they take out the appropriate insurance to cover the cases where they have to cancel their trip, to the exclusion of any liability of the Carrier.
The Ticket is, and remains at all times, the property of the Carrier. The recipient of the Ticket must ensure before traveling that it is not lost or stolen.
The price paid by the Passenger is based on the Carrier's Tariff for transport indicated on the Ticket.
3.2 Conditions of use of Tickets and Flight Vouchers
Only Passengers presenting a valid Electronic Ticket or Ticket are entitled to be carried on a Flight. However, a Passenger presenting a Ticket containing all of the following items may be authorized to be carried:
- the Flight Coupon for this Flight,
- any other unused Flight Vouchers, and
- the Passenger Coupon.
The beneficiary of a damaged, torn, damaged, modified or altered Ticket may be refused to be transported, without this engaging the responsibility of DreamJet or the Carrier.
The Ticket is valid only for the transport indicated on it, from the place of departure to the final destination via all agreed Stops. As such, the Passenger must use all the Vouchers in the order indicated on the Ticket for the Ticket to be valid.
The Carrier will accept each Ticket Flight Coupon for transport in the class, on the date and on the Flight for which the Passenger has a Reservation, unless the Passenger does not meet the check-in and boarding conditions provided for in the General Conditions of Carriage, or the Carrier must prevent him from boarding due to overbooking, or the Carrier exercises his right to refuse to transport him in accordance with the General Conditions of Carriage.
If the Carrier issues a Ticket without a Booking being indicated on it, the Passenger may make a Booking later. However, this possibility will depend on the Rate applicable on the date of the subsequent Booking and on the availability of a seat on the Flight chosen by the Passenger.
Cancellation by the Passenger of a Booking before the Check-in Deadline for their Flight will not necessarily result in the cancellation of their Return Ticket or their Reservations for the rest of the trip.
If the Passenger does not cancel a Booking before the Check-in Deadline for their Flight, and does not show up for boarding, the Carrier may decide to cancel their return Ticket and/or Bookings for the rest of the trip.
3.3 Modifying the Ticket
Any modification of the Ticket must be made with the agreement of the Carrier or Authorized Agent and according to the terms and rates defined by the Carrier or the Authorized Agent.
If some changes do not result in price changes (based on the Rates shown), other changes, such as changing the departure point or travel destination, may result in changing the applicable Tariff. Many Fares are only valid on the dates and for the flights indicated on the Ticket and cannot be changed unless you pay an additional price. It is the Passenger's responsibility to inquire about the conditions for modifying his Ticket from the Carrier.
3.4 Ticket validity period
Unless otherwise indicated on the Ticket, in the General Conditions of Carriage, or in any applicable Tariffs, a Ticket may be used for transport purposes during:
- one (1) year from the date of its issue, or
- for Tickets covering several transports, one (1) year from the date on which the Passenger travelled for the first time using the Ticket, provided that the first Flight was made within one year following the date of issue.
Article 4 - Bookings
4.1 General provisions
The Carrier or Authorized Agent records the Booking in the Carrier's computer system. At the request of the Passenger, the Carrier or the Authorized Agent gives the Passenger a written confirmation of his Booking.
Some Fares are subject to conditions that limit or exclude the Passenger's rights to modify or cancel their Booking.
The Carrier or Authorized Agents may charge the Passenger additional costs for the issuance or modification of their Ticket, or for the provision of other Booking services in accordance with the Tariff in force on the day of such issue or modification.
4.2 Cancellation of the Booking in case of non-payment of the price
If the Passenger has not paid the price of his Ticket, surcharges, surcharges, taxes, fees or charges applicable no later than the date fixed by the Carrier or the Authorized Agent, the latter may decide to cancel the Booking, without prejudice to the collection of all related costs.
4.3 Personal data
The Carrier and companies affiliated with the Carrier, Authorized Agents and any other companies involved in the provision of reservation, payment, transport or facility services, and related services or data processors may use the personal data collected in connection with the Booking, including any information concerning the purchase history and the manner in which the person concerned uses the carrier's services and facilities, for non-commercial purposes.
With the prior consent of the person concerned, this personal data may be used for commercial purposes.
Public authorities, and in particular public prevention and enforcement authorities, may require the communication of this information, without the Carrier or Authorized Agents being able to oppose it. The personal data of the person concerned may, if necessary, be sent outside the European Economic Area.
The persons concerned have the right to access, modify and rectify the personal information thus collected, stored, and transferred to the extent that it proves to be inaccurate or incomplete. They can exercise this right by letter sent to DreamJet's head office (53, avenue Jean Jaurès, 93350 Le Bourget, France).
4.4 Passengers requiring advance arrangements
A Passenger may ask the Carrier or the Authorized Agent, at the time of Booking, to provide him with particular assistance. In such a case, the Carrier or Authorized Agent will make every effort to satisfy the Passenger's request as far as possible. The Carrier may decide, at any point of boarding and/or connection, to refuse to transport the Passenger or that of one of his Baggage if a Passenger requests special assistance during check-in or boarding not requested at the time of Booking the trip.
The Carrier may decide, at any point of embarkation and/or connection, to refuse to transport the Passenger or any of his Baggage when the Passenger is an unaccompanied child, a pregnant woman or a sick Passenger and if the arrangements reasonably required for their transport have not been made prior to their check-in.
In the cases provided for above, the Carrier reserves the right to cancel the Passenger's Reservation and to terminate the Contract of Carriage without having to refund the ticket price. The Passenger will be denied boarding and will then have to bear all the resulting costs.
4.5 Seat
The Carrier cannot guarantee that the Passenger will be able to occupy a given seat. He can change the seat assignment at any time, even after boarding the aircraft, according to his needs, in particular for reasons of proper functioning, safety or security.
4.6 Aircraft Type
The type of aircraft indicated to the Passenger at the time of Booking the Ticket or later is given for information purposes only. Imperatives related to security and safety, reasons independent of the Carrier, operational constraints may lead the Carrier to modify the aircraft type without this engaging its responsibility.
4.7 Reconfirmation of Bookings
In some cases, the Passenger may be required to reconfirm the Bookings made. The Carrier indicates to the Passenger the conditions and deadlines within which the Passenger must reconfirm the Bookings made in order to continue their trip or to make their return trip.
In the absence of confirmation under the conditions and deadlines indicated by the Carrier to the Passenger, the Carrier may decide to cancel Bookings made for intermediate, subsequent or return flights, without prejudice to the collection of all related costs.
Article 5 - Passenger rights
5.1 Passenger rights in case of Force Majeure
All or part of the Ticket price, when the trip could not be completed due to a case of Force Majeure, may be non-refundable. In such a situation, the Carrier grants the Consumer a credit for the non-refundable part of the price when the following conditions are cumulatively met:
- the Consumer has a Ticket that has absolutely not been used;
- the Consumer promptly notified the Carrier of the existence of Force Majeure events and,
- the Consumer provides the Carrier with proof of the reality of these Force Majeure events.
The credit can be used for a subsequent trip for a transport carried out with the Carrier, by the Passenger or by any person of his choice. The Carrier reserves the right to charge administrative fees, the amount of which will be charged against this credit.
5.2 The Passenger's right to transfer their Booking when the regulations for travel packages, vacation packages and organized travel packages apply
If the Passenger requests it, the Carrier or an Authorized Agent may issue a new Ticket to another person in place of the Passenger Ticket when the legal and regulatory conditions require it in terms of travel packages, vacation packages and organized travel packages.
In such a case, the Passenger must:
- provide proof of the fact that he has complied with legal and regulatory provisions and that he is entitled to transfer the Booking;
- notify the Carrier or an Authorized Agent with reasonable notice, and no later than seven (7) days before the start of the trip, of its intention to transfer the Booking prior to the departure date;
- provide the Carrier or an Authorized Agent with the full name, address and telephone number of the person in whose name he wishes the new Ticket to be issued;
- deliver the Ticket to the Carrier or to an Authorized Agent and pay the Carrier or Authorized Agent an administrative fee in connection with the issuance of the new Ticket.
Article 6 — Passengers with reduced mobility
6.1 General provisions and reservations
Any Passenger with reduced mobility who needs specific assistance is requested to inform the Carrier of their particular needs at the time of Booking.
The Carrier ensures the transport of Passengers with reduced mobility when arrangements have been made to take into account their particular needs. Even when the Passenger does not inform the Carrier, at the time of Booking, of his particular needs, the Carrier undertakes to make every reasonable effort to take into account his particular needs. In this case, the Carrier will only be bound by an obligation of means.
6.2 Headquarter
All seat rules contained in the General Conditions of Carriage apply to the allocation of seats to Passengers with reduced mobility. When, in addition, the Passenger's disability requires that he be assigned a bulkhead seat, for example, in the case of a disability for which he must be accompanied in the cabin by a service dog, in accordance with the provisions of the General Conditions of Carriage, and insofar as the Passenger with reduced mobility actually requests a bulkhead seat, this seat will be made available to him, if it has not already been assigned to another Passenger with reduced mobility.
6.3 Travel with an escort
When this is imperative for the safety of the Passenger with reduced mobility, or if the Passenger with reduced mobility is unable to ensure their own evacuation from the aircraft, or if the Passenger with reduced mobility cannot understand the safety instructions, the Carrier may assign accompanying personnel to the Passenger.
6.4 Baggage
The transport of assistive devices, such as a wheelchair or a cane, is free, so they will not be included in the Baggage Allowance.
For flights where the use of medical oxygen is authorized, the use of the medical oxygen service will be invoiced in addition to the price of the Ticket to the Passenger with reduced mobility. In addition, Passengers with reduced mobility must be assisted by an accompanying person.
The Carrier reserves the right not to accept Passengers who have to travel on a stretcher.
Article 7 - Check-in and boarding
The Passenger must have completed the check-in process and received their boarding pass for the Flight no later than the Check-in Deadline. Otherwise, the Carrier may decide to cancel the Passenger's Booking and not to transport the Passenger.

Taxes, fees, charges or fees may be created, imposed, or changed after the date the Ticket was issued. In the event of the creation, imposition or modification of these taxes, fees, charges or fees after the Ticket has been issued, the Passenger undertakes to pay the amount of these taxes, fees, charges or fees.
In the same way, if taxes, fees, charges or fees paid by the Passenger in addition to the Tariff applicable when the Ticket was issued, are abolished or reduced, the Passenger may, at his request, be reimbursed.
If the Passenger does not use his Ticket, he may request a refund of all taxes, fees, charges or fees that he has paid, minus administrative fees, if the applicable texts provide for this possibility.

Under no circumstances may the Passenger request any compensation from the Carrier for any compensation as a result of the modification of these schedules.

The Air Carrier undertakes to respect the conventions, legislation and regulations applicable to the carriage of Passengers in terms of liability for delays, cancellations and denied boarding not justified by situations provided for in the General Conditions of Carriage.
Article 12 - Price refunds, surcharges, taxes, fees and charges
12.1 General provisions

If the Carrier or Authorized Agent loses a Passenger's Ticket or part of it, the Carrier undertakes to replace or have the lost Ticket or part of the Ticket replaced. However, the Carrier will not be responsible for the direct or indirect consequences of the loss of the Ticket or the part of the Ticket concerned, so the Passenger will not be entitled to claim any compensation from the Carrier as a result.
12.3 Non-reimbursement of the price
Except where the legislation, regulations or the Agreement applicable to the carriage of the Passenger or to the sale of the Ticket concerned provides otherwise, the option to grant the reimbursement of all or part of the Ticket is left to the free discretion of the Carrier.

The Passenger must inform himself about the conditions of entry into the territory applicable to any country to which he goes and in general to all the laws, regulations and acts of all countries that the Passenger leaves, enters or crosses by plane or in which he is in the capacity of Transit Passenger and undertakes to comply with them.
The Passenger must present to the Carrier, before his trip, at the time of check-in and boarding and in any case at all times, all passports, visas, health certificates and other valid and valid travel documents necessary for his trip. When required by law and applicable regulations, the Passenger must be present when their Baggage is inspected by customs officials or other agents.

15.2 Refusal to enter a territory
The Carrier is not responsible for the refusal and for the direct and indirect consequences of a refusal issued to the Passenger by the authorities and the government of this country upon entry into the territory of a country. Consequently, in the event of refusal of entry into the territory of a country, the Passenger will have to pay:
- any fine, penalty or charge that would be imposed on the Carrier by the competent government as a result of this refusal;
- any detention costs that would be invoiced to the Carrier;
- the price of transporting the Passenger back to his place of departure;
- any other costs that the Carrier would pay or should pay or would agree to pay with the authorities and/or the government of that country. Under no circumstances is the Carrier required to reimburse the Passenger, whose entry into the territory of the country of destination has been refused, for the Transport Ticket to the place where entry was refused.
15.3 Reimbursement of fines, detention costs and other charges
In the event of non-compliance by the Passenger with the laws or regulations, or other obligations applicable in terms of travel, entry to the country to which the Passenger travelled, or in the event of failure to produce the necessary documents required by this country, the Passenger is required to pay all fines, penalties, penalties, fees, charges or costs (such as, for example, detention fees) paid by the Carrier as a result of non-compliance with these laws,, or obligations.
The Carrier reserves the right to deduct the amount of the amounts paid by it due to the Passenger from the value of any unused portion of the Ticket, or from any amount belonging to the Passenger and in the possession of the Carrier.
15.4 Inspections by customs, police or other public authorities
When the laws, regulations or acts so provide, the Passenger must be present during the inspection of his Baggage by customs services or other competent officials or public officials. The Carrier is not responsible for direct or indirect damage suffered by the Passenger and/or his Baggage during an inspection or as a result of his absence during an inspection.
15.5 Security check
The Passenger authorizes officials or public officials, airport authority agents or the Carrier and its Authorized Agents to carry out security checks on him or his Baggage and undertakes not to oppose them.
Article 16 - Successive carriers
When several carriers participate in the provision of transport services under a Ticket, or under a Complementary Ticket, the transport is considered to be a single operation for the application of the Conventions.
Article 17 —Dreamjet's responsibility towards the Passenger and their luggage
DreamJet applies European Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004, establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and the cancellation or long delay of a flight, an upgrade or a downgrade, and repealing Regulation EEC No. 295/91 or any other regulation supplementing, replacing or replacing it. Departing from airports in countries outside the European Union, the Carrier implements the regulations applicable in this territory. Information relating to passengers' rights in the event of delay, cancellation or denial of boarding in particular, can be consulted on the European Union website by following the link below: http://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/passenger-rights/air/index_fr.htm
17.1 Scope
The General Conditions of Carriage govern DreamJet's liability when acting as a Carrier.
The terms of carriage of Dreamjet's Codeshare partners govern the liability of these carriers. The general conditions of carriage of each other carrier involved in the trip govern the liability of each of these carriers. These general conditions of carriage may provide for conditions and limits of liability that are more restrictive than the General Conditions of Carriage. If the air carrier actually operating the flight is not the same as the one with which a contract of carriage was concluded, the Passenger has the right to file a complaint or claim with one or the other.
17.2 General provisions
If DreamJet is liable, it is incurred only under the conditions set out in this article. In the event of an inconsistency between the Convention or other laws in force and this article 17, the Convention and other applicable laws shall prevail if their application is of public order.
DreamJet cannot be held liable when DreamJet or its agents:
- have complied with applicable laws, regulations, and public standards; or
- that the Passenger has not respected the laws, regulations and public standards in force.
Unless otherwise provided in the General Conditions of Carriage, DreamJet's liability is limited to the compensatory Damages that the Passenger is entitled to receive as a result of proven damages or costs, in accordance with the Convention or applicable laws.
The contract of carriage concluded between DreamJet and the Passenger (including the General Conditions of Carriage) applies to DreamJet agents, agents, employees and representatives in the same manner as it applies to DreamJet. Consequently, the total amount that the Passenger is, if applicable, entitled to recover from DreamJet, as well as from its agents, servants, employees and representatives, will not exceed the total amount of DreamJet's liability.
Nothing in the General Conditions of Carriage constitutes any waiver of any exclusion or limitation of liability to which DreamJet is entitled under the Agreement or any law that may apply.
Nothing in the General Conditions of Carriage prohibits DreamJet from excluding or limiting its liability under the Convention or any laws that may apply, nor does it constitute a waiver of any defense at its disposal under the Convention or any laws that may apply, against any social insurance organization or any person who may pay, or have paid, compensation in the event of the death of a Passenger, or injury or personal injury suffered by him.
17.3 Compensation in the event of the death of a Passenger, injury or any other bodily injury suffered by a Passenger
DreamJet is responsible for Damage incurred in the event of death or injury suffered by a Passenger, when the accident that caused the Damage occurred on board the aircraft under their control or during any boarding and disembarking operations on such aircraft, and subject to cases of exemption from liability.
DreamJet's liability in the event of death, injury or any other personal injury suffered by a Passenger as a result of an accident will not be subject to any financial limitation. The amount of reparable damage will only cover the value of the damage actually suffered, as determined by amicable agreement, expert opinion or by the competent courts.
DreamJet will only indemnify the Passenger in excess of the amounts received by the latter, under the social or insurance regime to which they are affiliated and for Compensatory Damages only.
If the Damage was caused, in whole or in part, by the negligence, or other wrongful act, or a faulty omission of the injured or deceased Passenger, or the person claiming compensation, DreamJet may be released, in whole or in part, from its liability, in accordance with applicable law.
Likewise, DreamJet may be exempt, in whole or in part, from its liability, if the death, disability, illness or personal injury that occurs result from the Passenger's state of health, physical or mental, prior to boarding the flight, or from its worsening.
When Personal Injury is likely to exceed 113,100 SDR per Passenger, it will be reduced accordingly if the Damage is not due to negligence, or to any other wrongful act, or to an omission attributable to DreamJet, or attributable to one of its agents, agents or servants or if the Damage is solely the result of the negligence, other wrongful act or omission of a third party.
In the event of death or personal injury resulting from an air accident, within the meaning of the Convention, applicable laws or regulations, the person identified as a Person Entitled to Compensation may benefit from an advance allowing him to meet his immediate needs, in proportion to the material damage suffered. This advance will not be less than the equivalent in EURO of 16,000 SDR per Passenger in the event of death. Subject to the law in force, this advance will be paid within fifteen (15) days of the identification of the beneficiary and will be deductible from the final amount of the repairs due to the deceased Passenger.
The payment of advances or advance payments does not constitute an acknowledgement of DreamJet's liability and such amounts may be deducted from amounts subsequently paid by DreamJet as compensation, depending on DreamJet's responsibility.
17.4 Compensation for Damages Caused to Passengers by Delay
Only direct, proven and resulting directly and/or exclusively from a delay is reparable, to the exclusion of any indirect damage, which is not exclusively due to it or any form of damage that is not compensatory for damage actually suffered. The Passenger must establish the existence of the Damage resulting directly and exclusively from the delay.
DreamJet's liability for Damage caused to a Passenger by a delay is limited to 4,694 SDR.
DreamJet will not be liable for Damages caused to the Passenger as a result of a delay, as long as DreamJet or its agents took all reasonable steps to avoid the Damage, or if it was impossible for DreamJet or its agents to take such measures.
17.5 Compensation in case of damage caused to Baggage or resulting from delayed Baggage
If DreamJet issues a Ticket for carriage by another Carrier (other than under the CE airline designation code) or checks Baggage intended for transport by another carrier (other than under the CE airline designation code), DreamJet acts exclusively as the agent of that carrier, which will therefore be solely responsible for any Damage. However, with regard to Checked Baggage, the Passenger has a right of appeal against the first or last Carrier involved in his trip.
DreamJet is not responsible, in any way whatsoever, for Damage to items that the Passenger has placed in their Checked Baggage in violation of the prohibitions provided in this regard by the General Conditions of Carriage, or in the case of authorized firearms, when the Passenger has not complied with applicable laws and regulations and with the General Conditions of Carriage.
DreamJet is in no way responsible for any Damage caused to Hand Baggage or items placed by the Passenger in their Hand Baggage.
DreamJet's liability may not exceed the amount of proven direct and/or exclusive Damages and DreamJet will in no way be liable for indirect damages, which are not exclusively caused by DreamJet or for any form of damage that is not compensatory for the harm actually suffered.
DreamJet's liability for Damage caused to Baggage, including any Damage resulting from a delay, is limited to 1,131 SDR, except when the Passenger proves that the Damage results directly and exclusively from an act or omission attributable to DreamJet or its agents:
- committed with the intent to inflict Harm, or
- recklessly, and knowing that damage would likely result, insofar as the Passenger provides evidence that the DreamJet employees or agents responsible for the act or omission were acting within the scope of their duties.
When the Passenger validly completes a special declaration attesting to a higher value and pays the applicable fees, DreamJet's liability will be limited to the higher declared value.
Unless otherwise required, DreamJet is not responsible for Damage caused to Baggage as a result of a delay.
DreamJet is not responsible for Damages caused by Passenger Baggage. The Passenger is solely responsible for any Damage caused by their Baggage to other persons or property, including those of DreamJet or its agents.
Article 18 — Baggage Complaints
The receipt of a Baggage, by the Passenger or by a person in possession of a Baggage Check or a Baggage Identification Form, of a Checked Baggage, without complaint on the part of the given time, constitutes sufficient proof of the fact that this Baggage was delivered to him in good condition and in accordance with the General Conditions of Carriage.
In the event of Damage to Checked Baggage, the Passenger must send the Carrier a written complaint as soon as the Damage is discovered by the Carrier, and at the latest within seven (7) Days of the date on which the Passenger receives the Checked Baggage concerned.
In the event of a delay in the transport of Checked Baggage, the Passenger must send the Carrier a written complaint within twenty-one (21) days following the date on which the last Checked Baggage was made available to him.
Article 19 — Time limits for appeal
The Passenger or his dependants are deprived of their right to compensation when no action is brought within two (2) years from:
- the date of arrival at the place of destination;
- the date the aircraft should have arrived; or
- the date on which the transport was completed.
The method for calculating the limitation period will be determined by the legislation of the jurisdiction competent to hear the appeal.
Article 20 — Notifications and deadlines
With respect to the sending of notifications, the Carrier will not count the day on which such notification was sent. To determine the validity of a Ticket, the Carrier will not count the day it was issued or the day the flight started.
Article 21 - End of the Contract
If the Passenger does not comply with the provisions contained in the contract of carriage, the General Conditions of Carriage, the General Conditions of Carriage, the regulations of the Carrier and the applicable laws and regulations, the contract of carriage will be automatically terminated without prior notice or formal notification, and the amounts already collected from the Ticket price will be retained definitively by the Carrier.
Article 22 —Applicable Law and Competent Court
Unless otherwise provided by public order: (i) the General Conditions of Carriage are subject to French law, to the exclusion of any Convention or rules relating to conflicts of law; (ii) any dispute relating to the General Conditions of Transport and the activities they govern will be brought before the competent Court of Paris (France).
In application of article R322-2 of the French Civil Aviation Code, any action for liability against the carrier as a result of the transport service will be brought, at the choice of the applicant, either before the court of the carrier's domicile, the main seat of the carrier or the place where he owns an establishment by the care of which the contract was concluded, or before the court of the place of destination.
In the event of a dispute between the professional and the consumer, they will endeavour to find an amicable solution.
In the absence of an amicable agreement, the consumer has the option of referring free of charge to the consumer mediator responsible for the professional, namely the Association of European Mediators (AME CONSO), within one year from the date of the written complaint sent to the professional.
The referral to the consumer mediator must be made:
- or by completing the form provided for this purpose on the AME CONSO website: www.mediationconso-ame.com ;
- or by post addressed to AME CONSO, 11 Place Dauphine — 75001 PARIS.
