Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions (“the Conditions”) apply to each Booking You make with us and identify any liability we may have in relation to that Booking. Each Supplier You might have bought a service or product from, where we acted as a disclosed agent, may have its own terms and conditions. Please ensure that you have familiarised yourself with such terms and conditions, if applicable, and that you are in agreement therewith before buying a product from a Supplier through Us. We accept no liability or responsibility of any nature whatsoever for the performance, or failure to perform, of any Supplier or any loss or damage suffered by you resulting from or relating to the services or products purchased from such Supplier.

In any case of ambiguity, conflict or lack of clarity between these conditions and any other conditions from a Supplier or Service Provider, these conditions shall take precedence.

CHARTER OPERATIONS
If carriage is performed pursuant to a charter agreement, these Conditions of Carriage shall apply unless otherwise explicitly limited, by reference or otherwise, in the charter agreement or the Ticket.

CODE SHARES
On some services we may have arrangements with other carriers known as "Code Shares", meaning that even if you have a reservation with us and hold a ticket where our name or airline designator code is indicated as the carrier, another carrier may operate the aircraft. If such arrangements apply, we will advise you of the carrier operating the aircraft at the time you make a reservation. These conditions shall apply under these codeshares unless otherwise explicitly limited on the ticket issued.

OVERRIDING LAW
These Conditions of Carriage are applicable unless they are inconsistent with our Tariffs or applicable law in which event such Tariffs or laws shall prevail. If any provision of these Conditions of Carriage is invalid under any applicable law, the other provisions shall nevertheless remain valid. The Applicable and governing law in all instances, unless otherwise specifically stated, shall the Zimbabwean law.

CONDITIONS PREVAIL OVER REGULATIONS
Except as provided in these Conditions of Carriage, in the event of inconsistency between these Conditions of Carriage and any other regulations we may have, dealing with particular subjects, these Conditions of Carriage shall prevail.

Fares apply only for carriage from the airport at the point of origin to the airport at the point of destination, unless otherwise expressly stated. Fares do not include ground transport service between airports and between airports and town terminals. Your fare will be calculated in accordance with our Tariff in effect on the date of payment of your ticket for travel on the specific dates and itinerary shown on it. Should you change your itinerary or dates of travel, this may impact the fare to be paid?

TAXES, FEES AND CHARGES  

Applicable taxes, fees and charges imposed by government or other authority, or by the operator of an airport, shall be payable by you. At the time you purchase your Ticket, you will be advised of taxes, fees and charges not included in the fare, most of which will normally be shown separately on the Ticket. The taxes, fees and charges imposed on air travel are constantly changing and can be imposed after the date of Ticket issuance. If there is an increase in a tax, fee or charge shown on the Ticket, you will be obliged to pay it. Likewise, if a new tax, fee or charge is imposed even after Ticket issuance, you will be obliged to pay it. Similarly, in the event any taxes, fees or charges which you have paid to us at the time of Ticket issuance are abolished or reduced such that they no longer apply to you, or a lesser amount is due, you will be entitled to claim a refund.

CURRENCY  
Fares, taxes, fees and charges are payable in the currency of the country of trip origin, unless another currency is indicated by us or our Authorised Agent at or before the time payment is made (for example, because of the non-convertibility of the local currency). For all bookings into Zimbabwe, tickets will only be issued if paid in the currency of country of origin. 

GROUP FARES
To qualify for a group quotation, a minimum of (ten) 10 passengers is required to travel together throughout the journey (i.e. from the point of departure to the final destination). In these cases, a group booking fee will apply, as determined by us from time to time.

ADMINISTRATION FEE
We reserve the right to charge reasonable administration fees that are not included in the price of the Ticket. Such fees will apply to special requests including, but not limited to special approved refund requests, e.g. in the event of the death of the Guest. The Administration fee shall not exceed 30% of the ticket price sought to be refunded or the prevailing bank rates of Standard Bank of South Africa or CBZ Bank of Zimbabwe whichever is greater.

PAYMENT CARD CHARGES ANF FEE
Under certain circumstances, when transacting with credit, debit or other payment cards, you may be liable to pay additional fees and charges imposed by your card issuer. We have no control over these charges and fees and accept no liability in respect thereof.

CHECK-IN DEADLINES
Check-in Deadlines are different at every airport and we recommend that you confirm for yourself about these Check-in Deadlines and honor them. Your journey will be smoother if you allow yourself ample time to comply with the Check-in Deadlines. We reserve the right to cancel your reservation if you do not comply with the Check-in Deadlines indicated. We or our Authorised Agents will advise you of the Check-in Deadline for your first flight with us. For any subsequent flights in your journey, you should inform yourself of the Check-in Deadlines. Check-in Deadlines for our flights can be found in our timetable, or may be obtained from us or our Authorised Agents. Generally Check in shall be 2 hours ahead of departure time for International Flights and 1 Hour for Domestic Flights.

We may cancel the space reserved for you if you fail to arrive at the boarding gate in time.

FAILURE TO COMPLY
We will not be liable to you for any loss or expense incurred due to your failure to comply with the provisions of this Article.
