    • 2.2The Agreement is concluded between you and Kiwi.com upon completion of a Booking or ordering of any Kiwi.com Service and our confirmation of receipt of your Booking or order.

When it comes to any Third Party Service Reservation made in the name and on behalf of the Other Passengers, you represent that you have the authorization to act on their behalf.
    • 2.5All completed Bookings will be filed by us, and you may access them using your Kiwi.com Account.
    • 2.6PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IF YOU LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES AND CONTRACT WITH KIWI.COM, INC. UNDER THE TERMS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT APPLIES TO YOU ABOUT RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, INCLUDING A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO BRING CLAIMS AS CLASS ACTIONS AND THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT, AND A LIMITATION ON YOUR RIGHT TO BRING CLAIMS AGAINST KIWI.COM, INC. MORE THAN 1 YEAR AFTER THE RELEVANT EVENTS OCCURRED, WHICH IMPACTS YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS IF ANY DISPUTE WITH KIWI.COM, INC. ARISES. SEE ARTICLE 15.4 FOR DETAILS ON THESE PROVISIONS.
  • 3.PRICE LOCK
    • 3.1The prices of Carriages are highly dynamic and tend to change often. To protect you against this price volatility, Kiwi.com may offer you the option to lock the price of a specific itinerary that you have found through the Kiwi.com Platform for a certain time period (for the purpose of this Section 3 “Locked Term”). Unless specified within the offer otherwise, the Locked Term shall be 72 hours from the moment of your confirmation and payment of the fee as specified below.
    • 3.2The protection against the changes shall apply up to a certain price increase which will be communicated to you within the offer (for the purpose of this Section 3 “Locked Limit”). If the prices of Carriages change within the Locked Term and the increase is lower or equal to the Locked Limit, you will be able to complete the Booking for the original price of the Carriages which was displayed to you at the time when you locked it. If the price decreases, you may complete the Booking with the new (lower) price.
    • 3.3The locked price shall only be applicable to the specification of the Booking as selected at the time of the confirmation and payment of the Price Lock Fee - if you add Third-Party Services or select other paid additions in the Booking Process while completing the locked Booking, the overall Booking Price will change
    • 3.4For the Price Lock, you will be required to pay a fee in the amount specified within the offer (for the purpose of this Section 3 “Price Lock Fee”).
    • 3.5Should the price difference at the time of your attempt to complete the Booking be higher than the Locked Limit, we shall refund you the Price Lock Fee. If you attempt to complete the Booking but the Carriage has been sold out, we will refund you the Price Lock Fee as well. We may offer you to pay the difference exceeding the Locked Limit and complete the Booking anyway.
  • 4.INITIAL BOOKING
    • 4.1Kiwi.com enables you to search for offers of Carriage and Carrier Ancillaries from various Carriers acting as traders, as well as other Third-Party Services from various Third-Party Service Providers, combine them with additional Kiwi.com Services into Bookings and instruct Kiwi.com to order all of these Third-Party Services on your behalf.
    • 4.2Upon completion of the Booking, you therefore instruct and authorize Kiwi.com to broker the conclusion of all necessary contracts with the Third-Party Service Providers on your behalf and provide you with all the necessary information to duly enjoy the Third-Party Services with limitations as explained in Art. 5.5. Kiwi.com shall be authorized to perform any and all actions on your behalf necessary to order the Third-Party Services that match the specification of your Booking. If we cannot order your selected seats, you authorize us to order the remaining Third-Party Services and refund the seating price to you. We may offer you similar seats in the same part of the plane. You can refuse them and request a refund of the seating price. If we find the same Third-Party Services (as already ordered) for a lower price, we shall cancel them with the Third-Party Service Providers, request the refunds, and make the Third-Party Service Reservations again. We will keep the refunds received for these redundant reservations to cover the costs of the new ones. Any difference will be kept by Kiwi.com as the Kiwi.com Service Fee.
    • 4.3Under this Agreement, Kiwi.com brokers the conclusion of the Contracts of Carriage on your behalf between you and the Carriers. In some cases, Kiwi.com may conclude the Contracts of Carriage with the Carriers also on behalf of the Other Passengers. That means that you or the Other Passengers, as applicable, will become the party to the Contracts of Carriage and will be bound by their terms and conditions. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourselves with the terms and conditions of the Contracts of Carriage. This shall also apply to any other Carrier Reservations done on your behalf or on behalf of the Other Passengers under this Agreement.
    • 4.4When we order the Third-Party Services on your behalf, we will email you confirmation of the Booking which can be subsequently managed as described in Section 5.
    • 4.5Virtual Details
      • 4.5.1Upon completion of the Booking, you acknowledge and agree that for the purpose of reservation of the Third-Party Services, we may create a virtual email address and payment details dedicated to your Booking which shall be used while reserving the Third-Party Services (for the purpose of Art. 4.5 “Virtual Details”). That means that we may:
        • (a)provide the virtual email address to the Carriers and other Third-Party Service Providers, and
        • (b)use the virtual payment details to pay the Carrier Reservation Price to the Carriers and the price for the Third-Party Services to the Third-Party Service Providers.
      • 4.5.2Furthermore, you acknowledge these Virtual Details to be your personal data and agree with the fact that these Virtual Details shall be transferred to the Carriers as your personal data while making the Carrier Reservations. That means that where the Carriers require the email address and payment details of the customer, we shall use these Virtual Details. For any cases where the Carriers might require the provision of the customer data as provided to us by the customer, you declare that these Virtual Details are provided by you to Kiwi.com.
      • 4.5.3The fact that we provide the Third-Party Providers with the Virtual Details also means that any information and payments from the Third-Party Providers shall be received by Kiwi.com and passed on to you according to the conditions of this Agreement.
    • 4.6Virtual Interlining. One of the core advantages of Kiwi.com is our ability to combine flights into Virtual Interlining Itineraries where you can connect Carriages of Carriers who do not cooperate together, and therefore often travel for cheaper prices. When constructing the Virtual Interlining Itineraries, we use our best knowledge and effort to make sure that there is enough time to transfer. However, when choosing a Virtual Interlining Itinerary, you should be aware of the following:
      • 4.6.1during the layovers, you will need to collect and recheck your luggage, and
      • 4.6.2you will probably need to go through customs checks so you might need to have any visas or other required documentation and fulfill other local entrance requirements to be able to enter the countries in your layover destinations.
  • 5.BOOKING MANAGEMENT
    • 5.1Booking Management is an assistance service consisting of:
      • 5.1.1receiving all communication from the Third-Party Service Providers related to ordered Third-Party Services, processing the received communication, choosing the important information necessary for your enjoyment of the ordered Third-Party Services, and providing you with this information via our communication channels,
      • 5.1.2accepting or rejecting alternative Carriages offered by the Carriers in case of cancellation or a schedule change caused by the Carrier as further explained in Art. 5.7 - 5.9 below.
    • 5.2Post-booking Services. Upon your request and payment of respective prices as charged by the Third-Party Service Providers and as possible under your contractual relationship with the Third-Party Service Providers or agreements between the Third-Party Service Providers and Kiwi.com, we shall:
      • 5.2.1process changes of your Third-Party Service Reservations, and
      • 5.2.2process your requests to order further Third-Party Services.
    • 5.3For the provision of the Post-booking Services, we shall have the right to a Processing Fee whose amount will be communicated to you before your confirmation and payment of this service. The default amount of the Processing Fee is €30 per request. You have the option to lower or remove the Processing Fee through the purchase of a corresponding option in the Booking Process under the conditions described therein. When we offer to make additional Carrier Reservations on your behalf as part of the Post-booking Services, we don’t apply the Processing Fee and the displayed price shall include the Carrier Reservation price and a Kiwi.com Service Fee.
    • 5.4For the performance of the Booking Management and Post-booking Services, you hereby authorize Kiwi.com to perform any and all actions on your behalf necessary to provide these services or, should Kiwi.com deem necessary to do so, to ensure the successful provision of the ordered Third-Party Services by the Third-Party Service Providers to you to match the specification of your Booking, including any necessary communication with the Third-Party Service Providers in our name or your name.
    • 5.5In an effort to offer you the best prices for the Carriages, in some cases, we make the Carrier Reservations via channels or third parties which do not allow us to give you access to the user interfaces of the Carrier Reservations (e.g. Global Distribution Channels or Booking Partners). In such cases, you will have to process all your requests with the Carriers through our Post-booking Services.
    • 5.6Compensations recovery referral. Upon completion of your Booking, you instruct us to provide you with services of claim recovery referral. For the purpose of provision of the referral, you hereby instruct us to assess your eligibility for any compensation claim and to infer (under our sole discretion) that it is appropriate to refer you to the services of a third-party company AirHelp Germany GmbH. If we conclude that you might be eligible for compensation by the Carriers, we will send you an invitation to order compensation enforcement services from AirHelp. You are not obliged to have your claims enforced this way. The fee for the services provided by AirHelp shall be governed by your agreement with AirHelp.
    • 5.7Virtual Interlining - Schedule Changes. For our Virtual Interlining Itineraries, where we have the option to accept or reject alternative Carriages offered by the Carriers on your behalf, we shall do so based on the impact of this offered alternative on your ability to board the next Carriage in your Itinerary, i.e. whether you will have enough time in the specific layover destination for the self-transfer as explained in Art. 4.6 (for the purpose of Art. 5.8 and 5.9 “Self-transfer Time Requirement”).
    • 5.8If any of the offered alternatives meet the Self-transfer Time Requirement and the change between the original and the new departure is 24 hours or less, we shall accept the offered Carriage that in our opinion best matches the specification of your original Itinerary and inform you about this change. If none of the offered alternatives meets the Self-transfer Time Requirement, we will reject them and request a refund. This is considered an Assisted Refund Service.
    • 5.9In cases where at least one of the offered alternatives meets the Self-transfer Time Requirement (or if there is no further connecting Carriage) but the difference between the original departure and the new departure for any of the offered alternatives would be more than 24 hours, where possible, we shall inform you about the change and allow you to decide whether to accept any of the offered alternatives. If you do not inform us about the decision via designated means within the timeframe that we specify, we will request a refund. This is considered an Assisted Refund Service.
  • 6.FEES, COSTS, AND CHARGES
    • 6.1Booking Price consists of:
      • 6.1.1Carrier Reservation Price
      • 6.1.2Non-Carrier Ancillary Services Price, and
      • 6.1.3Kiwi.com Service Fee which consists of, as applicable,
        • (a)the fee for the reservation of the Carriage and Carrier Ancillaries,
        • (b)the fee for the reservation of the Non-Carrier Ancillary Services,
        • (c)the fees for the additional Kiwi.com Services (e.g. Disruption Protection), higher tiers of customer support services, Standard & Flexi or equivalent packages or other Kiwi.com Services selected in the Booking Process, and
        • (d)the fee for the Kiwi.com Guarantee or for Kiwi.com Benefits.
    • 6.2The breakdown of the Booking Price into the Carrier Reservation Price, the Non-Carrier Ancillary Services Price, and the Kiwi.com Service Fee is available to you during the Booking Process. The Carrier Reservation Price is further broken up into the price of the Carriage (base fare) and the Carrier Ancillaries.
    • 6.3Prices of Carriage
      • 6.3.1Although we always try to have the most accurate and up-to-date information about the Carrier Reservation Prices, these prices tend to be very volatile and sometimes may even change seconds after you finish your Booking. Therefore, we cannot always guarantee that the price which we offer you in the Booking Process is the price offered at that exact moment by the Carriers.
      • 6.3.2Once you complete the Booking, we subsequently try to order all the Third-Party Services which you have chosen, including the individual Carriages. However, the Carrier Reservation Price for which we manage to purchase those Carriages might change in the meantime and therefore be a little different from the price which was displayed to you in the Booking Process. If there is a reasonable difference (within our discretion) between the price which was displayed to you in the Booking Process and the actual Carrier Reservation Price, Kiwi.com shall complete the Carrier Reservation anyway and the difference shall be added to or deducted from the Kiwi.com Service Fee. In this case, your Booking Price will remain unchanged, and you will not incur any additional costs.
      • 6.3.3Furthermore, even if you choose connecting Carriages offered by a single Carrier (e.g. a return flight), we generally order individual one-way Carriages to each of the destination airports in your Booking. That means that the displayed Carrier Reservation Prices will be a combination of the one-way Carriages as offered by the Carrier and therefore might be in a given instance slightly different from the price of the connecting Carriage offered by the Carrier.
    • 6.4Price Change. As explained in Art. 6.3.1, sometimes, the Carrier Reservation Prices change in the time between your completion of the Booking and our attempt to complete the Carrier Reservations on your behalf. To a certain degree, Kiwi.com shall cover the difference. However, if the price difference exceeds our internally determined ratios, at our full discretion, we reserve the right to request you to pay the difference before purchasing the Carriages or to refund you the Booking Price in accordance with Art. 8.4.
    • 6.5Where these Terms & Conditions define specific prices in EUR, if you select a different currency in the Kiwi.com Platform, the prices shall be converted into your selected currency using recent exchange rates from reliable and widely recognized sources.
  • 7.REBOOKING YOUR FLIGHTS
    • 7.1If you have selected the flexible rebooking conditions (Standard & Flexi or equivalent packages) in the Booking Process, you can order our Rebooking Service as defined in this Section below. Otherwise, you can rebook your flight according to the airline’s policies. If your booking includes the Kiwi.com Guarantee, we will help you with the rebooking with the airline.
    • 7.2If you order the Rebooking Service, Kiwi.com shall cancel your original Carrier Reservations and make a new Carrier Reservation on your behalf under the following conditions. You will only be required to pay the difference between the price of your original Carrier Reservation and the new Carrier Reservation. Should the price of the new Carrier Reservation be lower than the original Carrier Reservation, we will make it on your behalf and no additional payment shall be required from you. Kiwi.com shall request a refund for the original canceled Carrier Reservation according to the conditions of the cancellation service under Art. 9.2.3. Kiwi.com will use the refund consisting of 80% of the Carrier Reservation Price to cover the costs of the new flight (should the price of the new Carrier Reservation be less than the refund, Kiwi.com will keep the remainder).
    • 7.3You will have the right to order the Rebooking Service only once. If your Booking includes the flexible rebooking and flexible cancellation conditions, upon ordering the Rebooking Service, you will lose the right to order the cancellation service under the conditions of Art. 9.2.3 and will only have the right to order it under the conditions of Art. 9.2.2 or 9.2.4.
    • 7.4Unless otherwise specified, you may order the Rebooking Service up to 48 hours before the start of the first Carriage in your Itinerary. If you purchased the Flexi or equivalent package less than 6 days before the first departure, it is possible up to 4 hours before.
  • 8.CANCELLATIONS BEFORE WE BOOK THE FLIGHTS
    • 8.1Immediate Cancellation. Kiwi.com may offer you Immediate Cancellation of your non-processed Booking (meaning before confirmation of your Booking according to Art. 4.4). Upon your request, we will verify whether any Third-Party Services have already been ordered. If no Third-Party Services have been ordered, we will confirm your request, cancel your Booking, and promptly refund you the Booking Price in the form of the Kiwi.com Credit reduced by the amount of the Immediate Cancellation fee. In consideration of this service, we are entitled to a fee of 10 % of your Booking Price. That means that in case of an Immediate Cancellation, Kiwi.com shall refund you 90% of the Booking Price.
    • 8.2Your right to cancel the Booking. If we do not confirm your Booking within 24 hours after you completed the Booking (for Bookings completed 48 hours or more before the planned departure), within 8 hours after you completed the Booking (for Bookings completed 24 hours or more, but less than 48 hours, before the planned departure) or within 4 hours after you completed the Booking (for Bookings completed 12 or more, but less than 24 hours, before the planned departure), you may cancel the Booking and we will refund you the Booking Price. In this case, we also reserve the right to contact you and try to find an alternative solution which would satisfy your needs and settle the differences between the original price and the price of the alternative. However, you are not entitled to cancel your Booking if we have already ordered any of the Third-Party Services. If you completed the Booking less than 12 hours before the planned departure, you are not entitled to cancel it. The time periods allotted for confirming the Booking shall be suspended from the moment we request necessary information from you until the time when you have provided all such requested information in full.
    • 8.3Our right to cancel the Booking. Kiwi.com is entitled to cancel the non-processed Booking if we are not able to order the Third-Party Services for reasons outside of our influence, for example if:
      • 8.3.1your payment was deemed fraudulent by our fraud detection service,
      • 8.3.2the price changed for reasons we are not responsible for, e.g. unexpected price change by the Carrier, and you declined to pay the difference,
      • 8.3.3the ticket which you ordered was sold out before we managed to book it,
      • 8.3.4we were unable to book the ticket due to a technical issue on the side of the Carrier or Non-Carrier Ancillary Service Provider,
      • 8.3.5some of the information you provided to us was invalid or missing and therefore it was not possible to finish the reservation with the Carrier or Non-Carrier Ancillary Service Provider,
      • 8.3.6you already made the same order, and our systems detected that the order was a duplicate.
    • 8.4Should the non-processed Booking be canceled under Art. 8.2 or Art. 8.3, we shall return the Booking Price to your original payment method. We reserve the right to offer you Kiwi.com Credit instead of a monetary refund and refund you to the original payment method only after the expiry of this offer or after your choice of the original payment method.
  • 9.CANCELLATIONS AFTER WE BOOK THE FLIGHTS
    • 9.1General provisions
      • 9.1.1Representation by Kiwi.com. Upon confirmation of your order of the Refund Handling Service through the Kiwi.com Platform, or via contact with our customer support team, you appoint Kiwi.com as your attorney-in-fact and grant us power of attorney and all powers necessary to represent you in the extent necessary for the recovery of the refund from the Carrier, limited to the pre-trial phase of recovery. If a written power of attorney is required by the Carrier or other involved party, on our request, you are obliged to provide us with such written confirmation in a form set by us. Furthermore, you expressly agree that Kiwi.com is allowed to carry out any and all actions that may be necessary to practically recover the amount in your name (e.g. using the B2C customer contact channels of the Carriers, filing chargebacks, etc.). However, if you wish, you may exercise your rights directly with the Carrier, without the assistance of Kiwi.com.
      • 9.1.2Refunding up to the Booking Price. If the Carrier Reservation Price increases after you complete the Booking but before we manage to complete the Carrier Reservation as described in Art. 6.3.2, the total refundable amount under any of our Refund Handling Services shall be limited by the value of the Booking Price. Should the recovered amount exceed the Booking Price, we will keep the difference as a fee for a Refund Handling Service.
      • 9.1.3Non-refundability of Kiwi.com Service Fee. The Kiwi.com Service Fee is non-refundable and unless expressly stated otherwise, the various refund methods described below are only applicable for the Carrier Reservation Price. The price of Non-Carrier Ancillary Services is refundable based on the terms and conditions of the Non-Carrier Ancillary Service Providers applicable to the selected Non-Carrier Ancillary Services.
    • 9.2Your options if you wish to cancel your flights
      • 9.2.1If you wish to cancel your reserved Carriage for your own reasons and there is no Disruption of the ordered Carriage (e.g. the flight wasn’t canceled), you may do so using the Kiwi.com cancellation services under the below defined conditions.
      • 9.2.2Saver & Standard. If you have selected the basic cancellation conditions (Saver & Standard or equivalent packages), you are entitled to an Assisted Refund Service under which we will, upon your request, cancel Carriages that you select, apply for refunds from the Carriers, and forward you the received refunds. For this service, Kiwi.com shall have the right to a fee in the amount of €30 per person per flight that shall be deducted from the received refunds from the Third-Party Service Providers. Should Kiwi.com receive nothing or less than the fee, it waives the right to the difference between the recovered amount and the fee. Kiwi.com may waive the fee entirely. If we do so, this will be specified during the Booking Process or within the cancellation service offer. The conditions of Art. 9.3.3(b) apply.
      • 9.2.3Flexi. If you have selected the Flexi ticket type, Kiwi.com shall have the right to a fee equal to 20% of the Carrier Reservation Price. That means that in case of a cancellation, Kiwi.com shall refund you 80% of the Carrier Reservation Price . Once you order this cancellation service, Kiwi.com shall pay you the guaranteed amount up-front and deduct the fee from any amount which it will receive from the Carrier after the cancellation of the Carriage. Should Kiwi.com receive nothing or less than the fee, it waives the right to the difference between the recovered amount and the fee. Please note that if you select the Kiwi.com Guarantee Flexi option — meaning you are choosing both the Kiwi.com Guarantee and cancellation/rebooking conditions simultaneously — the terms outlined in Article 19.3 will apply.
      • 9.2.4No unique Kiwi.com cancellation conditions. If you don’t select any unique Kiwi.com cancellation conditions in the Booking Process, you are entitled to an Assisted Refund Service under which we will, upon your request, cancel the Carriages that you select, apply for refunds from the Carriers, and forward you all received refunds. The conditions of Art. 9.3.3(b) apply.
      • 9.2.5Unless otherwise specified, you may order any of the cancellation services above up to 48 hours before the start of the first Carriage in your Itinerary. If you purchased the Flexi or equivalent package less than 6 days before the first departure, it is possible up to 4 hours before the first departure.
      • 9.2.6Bereavement and Medical Refunds. If you need to cancel your Carriage due to the death of a family member or one of the passengers, or due to medical conditions that prevent you from traveling, you may request a refund through us. We will forward your request to the Carriers and pass on to you any refund or compensation we receive from them. To process your refund request, you will likely be required to provide supporting documents, such as a death certificate, proof of relationship to the deceased, or relevant medical documentation. Your refund eligibility, recovered amounts and lengths of the processing will depend on the terms and policies of the Carriers.
    • 9.3Your rights if the Carrier cancels your flights
      • 9.3.1If the Carriage gets canceled by the Carrier, the conditions of the Refund Handling Service available to you shall depend on whether you have the rights under the Disruption Protection or Connection Protection, and whether your Itinerary includes US flights and Section 18 applies.
      • 9.3.2Disruption Treatment Services. If you have any of the Disruption Treatment Services and your Carriage was canceled (or otherwise disrupted), Section 10 applies.
      • 9.3.3Assisted Refund Service (upon application)
        • (a)You also have the option to request the Assisted Refund Service where we, upon your confirmation, cancel the Carriages affected by Disruption, ie. the Carriages that were canceled or rescheduled by the Carriers, and try to recover any available refunds from the Carrier under the conditions as further defined below. The recovered amounts and the lengths of the processing will depend on the terms and policies of the Carrier and relevant laws.
        • (b)Given the fact that the amount, method, and processing time of the refunds always depends on the Carrier, Kiwi.com cannot (and does not) guarantee the outcome and the duration of the refund recovery efforts. There might be cases where you don’t have the right to a refund under the Contract of Carriage or the applicable law. In such a case, we will let you know that the booking is not refundable. We will keep trying to claim the refund for 6 months after your request. If we do not receive any refund or information about non-refundability from the Carrier until then, we will consider it as non-refundable and inform you about the fact. However, you can try claiming the refund with the Carrier yourself, and if we receive any refund after this period, we will still refund you in accordance with the conditions of this Agreement. Third parties processing the refunds might deduct handling fees from the refundable amount.
      • 9.3.4Upfront refunds (in Kiwi.com Credit or to your original payment method). Even if you do not have any of our Disruption Treatment Services, we reserve the right to offer you a Refund Handling Service where we refund you the Carrier Reservation Price of the disrupted Carriage before we receive any refund from the Carrier. The refund method will be specified in the offer. By selecting the upfront refund, you assign to us all your rights, titles and claims against the Carrier arising from or related to the disrupted Carriage for any refund (i) under the Contract of Carriage with the Carrier or (ii) based on the applicable law. If your Carriage, which is part of a single reservation issued on a single ticket (e.g. single PNR flights), is canceled, by selecting the upfront refund you give us your authorization to cancel all Carriages in this single reservation.
    • 9.4Other refund services and terms
      • 9.4.1Proactive refund recovery. Generally, we shall not initiate the recovery of any refunds for a canceled Carriage from the Carrier without your prior order of the Refund Handling Service. However, in cases of carrier bankruptcies or liquidity crises a successful recovery of refunds may be endangered. If this situation occurs and we deem that waiting for a confirmation might cause our inability to recover the refund later, we will initiate the recovery of a refund using any method at our disposal.
      • 9.4.2Alternative payment method. In case you are entitled to receive a monetary refund in accordance with this Agreement but we cannot send it back to the payment method which you used to pay to us (e.g. because the used payment method is no longer accepting refunds), we will send you a request to fill in an alternative refund method. Unless you react to this in a period specified within the request, we reserve the right to refund you in Kiwi.com Credit in the equivalent amount. If you request a bank transfer, regardless of the currency of your original payment method, the bank transfer will be conducted in euros and the eventual conversion will be handled by your bank. However, for certain supported currencies, the transfer will be made in that currency.
      • 9.4.3Costs of lost chargebacks. In case you try to recover any amount you paid to us through the chargeback system with your bank, and you subsequently lose the chargeback, i.e. your chargeback request gets denied, we shall have the right to reimbursement of the costs that we incurred in relation to the proceeding up to €20. Any such amount will be set off against any amount payable to you.
      • 9.4.4No-Show Refund. If you do not use a Carriage in your Booking that has not been canceled by the Carrier or canceled by you, you hereby authorize and instruct us to request and collect any refund for the specific Carriage (including the refund for any airport taxes, local taxes, or surcharges constituting the part of such fare) on your behalf from the respective Carriers to a similar extent as defined in Art. 9.1.1. Because we want to make sure that you can claim these refunds yourself if you want to, this authorization shall only become valid after 10 months from the date of confirmation of your Booking. You hereby agree that for the processing of these No-Show Refunds, we shall charge you a fee amounting to €59 for every Carriage. This fee shall be set off against the amount recovered from the Carriers. Should the fee exceed the total recovered amount, we shall waive the exceeding amount.
      • 9.4.5Unsolicited refunds. If we receive a monetary refund for any of your Carriages from the Carrier, even if you did not order any Refund Handling Service, we reserve the right to offer you Kiwi.com Credit in accordance with Art. 12.8.
      • 9.4.6Unpaid Bookings. If we order Third-Party Services on your behalf and later find out that your payment was not credited to our account, we will request you to pay the Booking Price. If you do not pay the Booking Price within the specified time limit, we are entitled to cancel the Booking and the Third-Party Services and retain any potential refund received from the Third-Party as compensation for our costs.
  • 10.DISRUPTION TREATMENT SERVICES

If your Carriage, which is part of a single reservation issued on a single ticket (e.g. single PNR flights), is disrupted, by selecting the instant Kiwi.com Credit you give us your authorization to cancel all Carriages in this single reservation.
      • 10.1.3You are not eligible for instant Kiwi.com Credit if you accept an alternative flight or claim a refund directly with the Carrier.

If there is no available Alternative Carriage within 24 hours, the 24-hours period will be extended to 48 hours.
        • (b)If we learn about the Disruption before or at the time of the departure of the first Carriage, you will have the right to Kiwi.com Credit amount calculated according to Art. 10.2.1 (a), up to the Carrier Reservation Price displayed to you in the Booking Process.

      • 10.2.3You are not eligible for instant Kiwi.com Credit if you accept an alternative flight or claim a refund directly with the Carrier. Accepting instant Kiwi.com Credit in conjunction with the Carrier’s arrangements may lead to the invalidation and forfeiture of the Kiwi.com Credit, or it could result in the cancellation of the accepted alternative flights.
      • 10.2.4Where a stay of one or more nights becomes necessary due to the Alternative Carriage on which we have based the instant Kiwi.com Credit amount under Art. 10.2.1 (b), and you book your accommodation via the link we send to you and you pay for it, we will refund you the costs up to the amount that was communicated to you.
    • 10.3TRANSFER PROTECTION
      • 10.3.1We offer limited protection against Disruptions where the Disruption is communicated to us by the customer, the Carrier, or is otherwise discovered by us less than 1 hour prior to the departure of the first Carriage in the Itinerary under the conditions further specified in Art. 10.3 (for the purpose of this Art. 10.3 “ Transfer Protection ”). The Transfer Protection is not provided for Bookings consisting of Carriages offered by the Carriers as part of a single reservation issued on a single ticket (e.g. single PNR flights).
      • 10.3.2Under the Transfer Protection, you will have the right to either the arrangement of an Alternative Carriage or the Assisted Refund Service (to be chosen by us):
        • (a)Assisted Refund Service. By confirming this option, you are ordering the Refund Handling Service under the conditions of Art. 9.3.3. This means that we will request the refund from the Carrier on your behalf and send it to you after we receive it, according to the terms outlined in these Terms & Conditions.
        • (b)Arrangement of an Alternative Carriage. As soon as we learn about the Disruption, we will try to search for an Alternative Carriage. Upon your confirmation of this option and, if required, payment of the price difference (as detailed below), we shall proceed to order these Alternative Carriages. Conditions of Section 4 shall apply correspondingly. For the arrangement of the Alternative Carriage, we may ask you for additional charges under the following conditions:
          • (i)If the Carrier Reservation Price of the Alternative Carriage is equal or lower than the Carrier Reservation Price of the Carriages in your original Itinerary, we will add the Alternative Carriage to your Booking at no additional charge.

  • 13.SMART TICKETS (HIDDEN CITY & THROWAWAY TICKET)
    • 13.1Sometimes, under the pricing policies of the Carriers, a return Carriage may be cheaper than a one-way Carriage, or a connecting Carriage through a certain destination may be cheaper than a direct Carriage to that destination. You may use those policies to your benefit and travel for a cheaper price. The purchase of Carriages where you intend to finish your trip at a place that is not the last airport on the itinerary (Hidden City), or the purchase of a return Carriage intended to be used only on the outbound portion (Throwaway Ticket) is what we call for the purpose of this section a "Smart Ticket".
    • 13.2Sometimes we may come across such instances and offer you the option to add Smart Tickets into your Booking through the Kiwi.com Platform. Where we do so will be made clear to you through a clear label and explanation. You should be aware that certain Carriers seek to prevent this practice, and impose restrictions and measures in their Contracts of Carriage concerning Smart Tickets. If you intend to purchase a Smart Ticket, we recommend that you check the Contracts of Carriage of your chosen Carriers before you complete the Booking.
    • 13.3If you ever find yourself in a situation where a legal claim is brought against you by a Carrier in relation to the Smart Tickets in your Booking due to the alleged breach of the Carrier’s contractual clauses, let us know and we will try to offer you assistance. Such assistance may be e.g. reimbursement of the costs of your legal expenses, assistance in the legal proceeding, or reimbursement of the amount claimed by the Carrier. Provision of any such assistance is entirely at our discretion and we will decide based on the individual circumstances of your case. Furthermore, a prerequisite to any assistance under this Article is your full cooperation and timely provision of all required information.
    • 13.4No-Checked-Bag Itinerary. Sometimes, we also offer special Itineraries with limited possibility to include a checked bag due to short layover times or other such limitations. This is communicated to you before you make the Booking. For No-Checked-Bag Itineraries, it is not possible to add checked luggage through the Kiwi.com Services, and you should not try to add them directly with the Carriers. If you do, we are not responsible for any financial or other obligations which might arise from you not being able to board your Carriages, or you losing your luggage.
  • 14.REPRESENTATION AND LIMITED WARRANTY
    • 14.1We represent and warrant to you, that we shall provide the Kiwi.com Services using personnel of required skill, experience, and qualifications and in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with generally recognized industry standards for similar services, and shall devote adequate resources to meet our obligations under the Agreement.

      • 14.4.1We are not liable for any damage, harm, or loss arising from or related to:
        • (a)any actions or omissions of the Carriers or other third parties in connection with the Carriages.

Subject to the provisions below, including exceptions set forth in this Article 15.4, you and Kiwi.com, Inc. agree to arbitrate any disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement and/or your use of the Kiwi.com Platform (for the purpose of this Article individually a “Dispute,” or more than one, “Disputes”).
      • 15.4.1Initial Dispute Resolution. Most Disputes between you and Kiwi.com, Inc. can be resolved informally. You and we agree to present all Disputes in good faith to one another, giving each party enough time to evaluate the claim and respond accordingly, before commencing any arbitration or court proceedings, as permitted herein. You and we agree that all Disputes may be resolved within 60 days of the party that claims there is a Dispute giving notice to the other party, and Disputes that are not resolved within that timeframe can be resolved as described below before either party can initiate arbitration regarding any Dispute.
      • 15.4.2BINDING ARBITRATION.
        • (a)Scope of Arbitration Agreement
          The parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (for the purpose of this Article 15.4, the “FAA”) will govern its interpretation and enforcement.
          The parties agree that after completing the informal dispute resolution process in Article 15.4.1, any remaining Disputes can be resolved through binding individual arbitration, rather than by a court of law, except as otherwise provided below. If the parties’ Dispute involves some arbitrable claims and some non-arbitrable claims, all non-arbitrable claims must be stayed until completion of the arbitration. This Arbitration Agreement shall apply to all Disputes, including those that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Arbitration Agreement. By agreeing to this Arbitration Agreement, you and Kiwi.com, Inc. expressly agree not to initiate or participate in any existing or future class, collective or representative actions against the other, as set forth in Article 15.4.2. (d).
          Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this Arbitration Agreement will not require arbitration of the following types of claims: (a) small claims actions brought on an individual basis that are within the scope of such small claims court’s jurisdiction, (b) injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s confidentiality rights or copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (which, to be clear, does not include matters regarding a customer’s personal data), and (c) claims not subject to arbitration as a matter of generally applicable law, after accounting for FAA preemption. Additionally, to the extent a Dispute seeks public injunctive relief that is found to be a cognizable claim, such Dispute must be resolved by a court of law, and stayed pending the resolution of the arbitration of any related Dispute.
          To the extent the parties are permitted under this Arbitration Agreement to have a Dispute resolved by a court of law rather than in arbitration, you and Kiwi.com agree that such Disputes shall be litigated exclusively in state or federal courts in Miami-Dade County, Florida. You also agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such disputes. This shall not apply to Disputes that are within the scope of a small claims court or action.
        • (b)Arbitration Rules and Forum
          The arbitration will be conducted exclusively through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) through a single mutually agreed upon arbitrator, in accordance with the provisions of the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, available at www.adr.org.
          To start an arbitration, you can get submission instructions at: https://adr.org/Support. Kiwi.com, Inc. will pay filing fees up to the extent required and as defined in the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, but in no greater amounts other than sort forth therein. If, however, the arbitrator determines that claims were filed for the purposes of harassment or were patently frivolous, the arbitrator can reallocate the arbitrator’s compensation and administrative fees, including the filing and hearing fees, as set forth in the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorneys’ fees in certain cases. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
          Arbitration will take place on a documents-only basis or you can choose to conduct the proceedings by telephone, video, or in-person. For in-person arbitration, the proceedings will be in the city or county where you reside.
        • (c)Arbitrator Powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable, or whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity, provided that such relief (including injunctive relief) is limited to your individual circumstances. Notwithstanding the requirements of this arbitration provision, if the Dispute involves a claim for public injunctive relief, you may choose to sever that claim from the arbitration proceeding and bring it in any court of proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
        • (d)Waiver of Jury Trial. You and Kiwi.com, Inc. waive any rights to sue in court and receive a judge or jury trial, except as otherwise specified in this Arbitration Agreement.
        • (e)Waiver of Consolidated Actions. You and Kiwi.com, Inc. agree to waive any right to have Disputes decided on a class, collective or representative basis, except as set forth in this Article 15.4 (“Class Action Waiver”). In any case in which (1) Disputes are filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (2) a civil court of competent jurisdiction finds all or part of the Class Action Waiver unenforceable, the class, collective, and/or representative action must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction. This provision does not prevent you or Kiwi.com, Inc. from participating in a settlement on a class-wide, collective, or representative basis. Unless you and we both agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings or more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
        • (f)ONE YEAR LIMITATION PERIOD / LIMITATION ON LEGAL ACTION. YOU AND KIWI.COM, INC. AGREE THAT YOU MUST INITIATE ANY PROCEEDING OR ACTION AGAINST KIWI.COM, INC. WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE OF THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT OR FACTS GIVING RISE TO A DISPUTE THAT IS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. OTHERWISE, YOU FOREVER WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION, OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, BASED ON SUCH EVENTS OR FACTS, AND SUCH CLAIM(S) OR CAUSE(S) OF ACTION ARE PERMANENTLY BARRED.
        • (g)Severability. If it is determined that any part of this Arbitration Agreement cannot be enforced as to a particular claim for relief or remedy (such as injunctive relief), then that claim or remedy (and only that claim or remedy) shall be severed and must be brought in a court of proper jurisdiction and any other claims must be arbitrated.
        • (h)Opt-Out. YOU MAY CHOOSE TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION AND PURSUE YOUR CLAIM(S) IN COURT BY NOTIFYING US OF YOUR INTENT TO DO SO WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU AND WE CONCLUDED THE AGREEMENT (the "Opt-Out Deadline"). You may opt out of these arbitration procedures by sending an email with your name, booking number, and travel dates via email to [email protected]. IF YOU WISH TO DO SO, YOU MUST OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION FOR EACH BOOKING MADE WITH US. If you do not inform us of your intent to opt out in the manner described above by the “Opt-Out Deadline", you will be unable to pursue the claims against us in court.
        • (i)Choice of Law. To the extent state substantive law applies to any Dispute, the law of the State of Florida shall apply, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
        • (j)Survival. This Arbitration Agreement survives the end of the relationship between you and Kiwi.com, Inc., including cancellation of or unsubscribing from any services provided by Kiwi.com, Inc.
