1. AVIATION CHARTER TERMS & CONDITIONS
Important Notes:
Unless otherwise specified, defined terms have the same meaning as in the Greek Elite terms of use. The Baltic Air Charter Association (“BACA”) has produced an Industry Standard ‘passenger aircraft charter agreement’ as a legal guide to its members and their private aviation customers. Aircraft Operators using Greek Elite agree to adopt the following Standard Charter Terms in their dealings with Greek Elite Members. The Standard Charter Terms are modeled substantially on BACA’s charter agreement, with the aim of providing consistency of contractual approach for Greek Elite Members.
PARTIES
Charterer: The Greek Elite Member (which shall include its representative(s) as applicable) making the Flight booking using Greek Elite, whose details are set out in a Charter Contract.
Carrier: The Aircraft Operator whose quotation for provision of a Flight to the Charterer has been accepted by the Charterer in accordance with an Agreement and the terms of Greek Elite (as applicable) as detailed in a Charter Contract.
DEFINITIONS
“Agreement” means these Standard Charter Terms, the Charter Contract, and any Special Conditions.
“Aircraft” means any aircraft (including helicopters) operated in connection with any Flight.
“Charter Price” means the total amount set out in Greek Elite invoice(s) issued in respect of a single Agreement (which includes Greek Elite’s fee for facilitating an Agreement).
“Flight” means a flight described in a Charter Contract.
“Charter Contract” means the online confirmation issued to the Charterer by Greek Elite confirming an aircraft charter and Flight details.
“Greek Elite” means Greek Elite LTD, the company operating the platform and facilitating aviation charter services.
“Greek Elite Exchange Rate” means the midpoint rate as published on www.oanda.com, plus a 2% currency administration fee.
“Greek Elite Members” means those persons who subscribe to use the services of Greek Elite as are made available through Greek Elite or through any mobile application made available by Greek Elite from time to time.
“Greek Elite Tender Process” means the online process by which the Charterer submits a request for fulfillment of a Flight requirement. This is then responded to by one or more Aircraft Operators who can fulfill the Charterer’s itinerary requirements, submitting a quotation together with details of any Special Conditions or Charterer requirements.
“Special Conditions” means those variations to the Standard Charter Terms upon which the Carrier will perform the Flight for the Charterer and which, in the event of inconsistency with these Standard Charter Terms, take precedence as between the Parties.
2. CHARTER
2.1 The Carrier shall make available to the Charterer the Aircraft as specified in a Charter Contract and the Charterer shall take the Aircraft on charter from the Carrier upon the terms and conditions of an Agreement (including any Special Conditions which have been notified to the Charterer by the Carrier during the Greek Elite Tender Process).
3. CANCELLATION
If the Charterer wishes to cancel any Flight(s) after confirmation of the related Agreement, the following rates will be paid immediately by the Charterer to Greek Elite as agreed compensation for such cancellation:
• 50% of the Charter Price if canceled after completion of an Agreement;
• 100% of the Charter Price if canceled within 2 weeks of the scheduled departure time as set out in a Charter Contract.
4. CHARTER PRICE AND PAYMENT
4.1 Greek Elite offers a payment gateway for Aircraft Operators through its services at Greek Elite. The Charterer shall pay Greek Elite the Charter Price at the time, in the amount, currency and to the address specified in accordance with the provisions set out therefore in a Charter Contract.
4.2 The Charter Price is based on aviation fuel costs calculated on the Booking Date. If, for any reason whatsoever there shall be any increase in the cost of aviation fuel between the Booking Date and the date of operation of any Flight, then the Charterer shall, if so required by the Carrier, pay Greek Elite on demand such amount as shall fully compensate the Carrier for such increase in costs.
4.3 If for any reason payment of the Charter Price or any instalment thereof shall not be made on the due date then the Charterer shall pay to the Carrier interest on the amount unpaid at the rate of 6% per annum above the base rate for the time being of Lloyds TSB Bank plc, calculated on a daily basis from the due date until the date of payment (both before and after judgment), compounded monthly.
4.4 The Charter Price is agreed in the currency shown on the Charter Contract. On request from the Charterer Greek Elite in its sole discretion, may elect to accept settlement of the price in either US Dollars, Euros, or GBP Sterling. On request, a new invoice will be issued to the Charterer, converting the Charter Price using the Greek Elite Exchange Rate on the date of issue of the invoice. If immediate payment is not received, then Greek Elite reserves the right to recalculate the conversion of the Charter Price into the Charterer’s requested currency at the date of payment, and issue a revised and/or further invoice for any additional amounts outstanding at the date of payment. All such invoices issued under an Agreement shall evidence the “Charter Price” of that Agreement and are subject to these Standard Charter Terms.
4.5 Payment of the Charter Price shall be made directly to the account specified by Greek Elite, which is authorised to accept payment on behalf of the Carrier and received in cleared funds in such account, no later than 2 weeks prior to the date of the Flight as set out in a Charter Contract. When Flights are booked within 2 weeks of the proposed date of the Flight, full and immediate payment of the Charter Price is required at the time of booking (subject to clause 4.13). At the request and cost of the Charterer, Greek Elite can arrange for prepaid sums to be placed on hold in an escrow account. Time shall be of the essence for payment of the Charter Price and any other sums under any Agreement.
4.6 No set-off or counterclaim (whether arising in respect of an Agreement or any other carriage) shall entitle the Charterer to withhold payment of any sums whatsoever payable under or by reason of an Agreement.
4.7 The Charterer shall be responsible for reimbursing the Carrier on demand in respect of any de-icing costs incurred in connection with the performance of an Agreement.
For a fee in addition to the Charter Price, the Charterer may obtain a de-icing waiver through Greek Elite. If the Charterer does not purchase a de-icing waiver, Greek Elite shall implement a credit card hold of 1500 EUR or equivalent currency. This credit card hold shall be released on full settlement of the related outstanding invoice in respect of an Agreement by Charterer in accordance with these Standard Charter Terms. If the Charterer fails to make such settlement, the Charterer agrees that Greek Elite shall be entitled to request payment of the sum on hold from the Charterer’s credit card.
4.8 In the event that the Charterer requests a change in routing or any other significant change (for example flight time change, passenger manifest change, change of airport or additional flight requirements) in respect of one or more Flights being undertaken by the Carrier under an Agreement and such requests are accommodated by the Carrier (which shall be at the Carrier’s sole discretion), Greek Elite will issue an amended or replacement Flight Confirmation and the Charterer will pay on demand any additional costs set out therein.
4.9 Greek Elite operates as an aircraft charter booking platform and acts as a facilitator between Charterers and Aircraft Operators. Greek Elite deducts from the Charter Price a facilitation fee before remitting funds received from the Charterer to the Carrier.
4.10 Payment of sums due under these Standard Charter Terms may be made by credit or debit card. If the Charterer makes payment of the Charter Price by credit or debit card then the Charterer shall be additionally responsible for card charges (currently 4%) incurred by Greek Elite and/or the Carrier in facilitating payment by debit or credit card. For the avoidance of doubt, debit and credit card charges are not refundable in the event of:
(a) cancellation of Flight(s) or an Agreement, and/or
(b) refund of pre-authorised payments taken by Greek Elite from the Charterer’s credit card pursuant to the clause.
4.11 If the Carrier is unable to perform a Flight in accordance with a Flight Confirmation due to an Aircraft technical failure, Greek Elite shall use its reasonable commercial endeavours to find a suitable replacement Aircraft and shall disclose any extra costs to the Charterer. If Greek Elite’s efforts are successful, but the Charterer elects not to accept the replacement Aircraft found by Greek Elite, Greek Elite shall be entitled to retain all sums due to it under these Standard Charter Terms (including Greek Elite’s fee for facilitating an Agreement) had the Charterer accepted the replacement Aircraft. If Greek Elite’s efforts are unsuccessful, the Charterer’s sole remedy shall be a full refund of the Charter Price (less Greek Elite’s fee for facilitating an Agreement) in respect of that part of any Charter Contract which cannot be fulfilled due to Aircraft unavailability. Any such refund which relates to a partial cancellation of an Agreement shall be calculated on a pro-rata basis as follows: percentage of total Charter Price (less Greek Elite’s fee for facilitating an Agreement) to be repaid shall equal the percentage of total flight hours under the Charter Contract which will not be flown due to unavailability of the Aircraft. For example, if 7 flight hours of a total of 28 flight hours chartered were unavailable, the Charterer would be due a refund of 25% of the Charter Price (less Greek Elite’s fee for facilitating an Agreement).
4.12 Unless agreed in advance of the Flight, WiFi charges are not included in the Charter Price. Any charges by the Carrier for WiFi used, that was not included in the Charter Agreement will be passed onto the Charterer to be paid on receipt of the invoice.
4.13 If the Charterer pays the Charter Price by bank transfer within 2 weeks of the proposed date of the Flight, then the Charterer shall additionally provide to Greek Elite credit card details using which Greek Elite may complete pre-authorisation of the relevant Charter Price plus the 4% transaction fee payable pursuant to clause 4.10. If:
(a) The relevant payment by bank transfer is not received by Greek Elite’s bank within 3 working days (being any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday when banks are generally open for normal business in London) after the Booking Date, or
(b) The Charterer requests that Greek Elite take the relevant payment by credit card,
Then the pre-authorised payment of the Charter Price plus the 4% transaction fee will be taken from the Charterer’s card.
If a bank transfer is received by or on behalf of Greek Elite after Greek Elite has taken the relevant pre-authorised sums from the Charterer’s credit card, then (at the election of the Charterer) either:
(i) the bank transfer will be refunded to the Charterer, or
(ii) the pre-authorised payment will be refunded to the Charterer’s credit card (less the 4% transaction fee paid pursuant to clause 4.10 and any fees or charges levied on Greek Elite in connection with refunding such pre-authorised credit card payment).
