This User Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) shall come into force and become legally binding for the Company and the User (the “Parties”) at the moment when the User first time starts to book or use the Service(s).

When starting to use the Service(s), the User shall be deemed to have accepted the terms of this Agreement without any reservations, exceptions or limitations not contained herein. In case of the User’s disagreement with any provision of this Agreement, the User shall not use the Service(s).

The Company encourages the Users to review the Agreement frequently to ensure that the User understands the terms and conditions that apply when he uses the Service(s). If the User does not agree to the revised Agreement, the User may not use the Service(s).

This edition of the Agreement enters into force on June 1, 2020 and is effective until the following edition is adopted.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES AND BOOKING

The Company offers, through the Provider(s), the following services on the Site: Ground Handling, Permits & Slots, Representation & Supervision, Crew Assistance, Ground Transportation, Fueling, Flight Catering, Hotel Accommodation (the “Service(s)”).

The Services allow the User to book flight support services in the selected airport listed on the Site (the “Airport”) through licensed operators, service providers and handlers as partner organizations (the “Provider(s)”) which have entered into separate agreements with the Company.

For a single ground handling Service consisting of the arrival and the subsequent departure diversions and unscheduled Services at agreed timings of the same aircraft, the Provider(s) shall provide the enclosed services (Annex B of the Main Agreement of the Standard Ground Handling Agreement (SGHA) of January 2018 – to enclose under Clause 2.3) of Annex A of the Main Agreement of the Standard Ground Handling Agreement (SGHA) of January 2018, as published by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) which shall apply as if such terms were repeated here in full. By signing this Agreement, the parties confirm that they are familiar with the aforementioned Main Agreement and Annex A.

The User shall place an order no later than 48 (Forty-Eight) hours before the Service(s) date, and providing accurate correct booking information. The Site shall confirm the order only upon prior confirmation by the Provider(s), and upon full payment by the User of the Service(s) Price for the ordered Services. Upon confirmation of the order by the User and payment of the Service(s) Price, and approval of the Provider(s), a confirmation will be issued to the User for each order placed. User should ensure to have booking confirmation and/or booking reference number during the flight travel to enable the Provider to verify the booking placed through the Site.

The User acknowledges and agrees that:

Upon placing an order through the Site, the User acknowledges to have, read, understood and accepted the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

the User’s ability to obtain flight support services through the use of the Services does not establish the Company as a provider of the flight support services or as a ground handler. When the User submits an order on the Site by selecting a Service(s) in an Airport and approving its terms including, for example the Airport, the aircraft type, the MTOW, the preferred handling (Business/Private jets/Passenger aircraft/Cargo Aircraft), the price payable for the Service(s) (the “Service(s) Price”), the User shall be deemed to have approved the entry into a paid flight support service contract with the Provider(s) directly (the “Services Contract”) but not with the Company. Upon the Provider(s) confirming the requested Service(s) by notifying the User through the Site, the Services Contract shall be deemed executed between the User and the Provider(s).

The Users may receive the Services only if they are flying through carriers or aircrafts complying with the applicable laws.

Due to the nature of the Services provided under this Agreement, the liability of the Company is limited to an obligation to accurately transmit the information between the User and the Provider as well as to transfer prepayment or full payment for a specific Service received from the User to the Provider. The Company shall not be liable for the credibility of the information passed as well as for the due and in good faith performance of the Provider’s obligations within any services agreements between the Provider(s) and the User. The Company bears no responsibility for any losses including the loss of gains and physical losses and damages in any way determined by the use of the Services.

The Services, the software used for the provision of the Services and other content of the Site through which the Services are available (including but not limited to the “adhoc.aero” logo and other logos and registered trademarks) are protected by the Company’s or third parties’ intellectual property rights. The User is hereby granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-sub licensable, revocable, non-transferable license to: (i) access and use the respective intellectual property solely in connection with his use of the Services; and (ii) access and use any content, information and related materials that may be made available through the Services, in each case solely for the User’s personal, non-commercial use. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by the Company.

There may exist certain technical limitations and restrictions on the Services, which can lead to the inaccessibility of the Services or delays in the transmission of communication at a particular time due to some reasons beyond the Company’s control.

The Provider(s) may subcontract part but not all of the Service(s). In this case, the Provider(s) will nevertheless be responsible to the User for the proper rendering of Service(s) by the subcontractors as if it had been performed by the Provider(s) themselves.

The User enters into this Agreement at its sole risk and that the Services and any information provided to the User are provided “as is” and “as available”.

The relations between the User and the Company fall exclusively within the Agreement contained herein. Nothing shall be presumed to indicate that the Company and the User have entered into or have agreed to enter into any other contract or have any rights and obligations before each other within any other agreement.

SERVICE(S) PRICE AND PAYMENT TERMS

The ground handling services as per Annex A of the SGHA shall be charged at Service(s) Prices determined as per the prevailing published rates and tariffs for the Airport location specified according to the aircraft types for each arrival and subsequent departure of the same aircraft within the specified ground times provided in the handling request. For all other Service(s) not falling under Annex A, the Company and the Provider(s) shall set the rates for Service(s) Prices.

Any disbursements made by the Company or the Provider(s) on behalf of the User will be reimbursed by the User at cost price plus an accounting surcharge of ten percent (15 %).

In all cases, the User shall be required to pay for all Service(s) availed before departure of flight including all airport related charges, taxes, royalties, and government levies as per the tariffs existing at the time of flight handling.

The Company does not collect, process and/or store User’s payment data without the User’s express approval.

Unless this Agreement provides otherwise:

all payments made by a User under this Agreement shall be made gross, free of right of counterclaim or set off and without deduction or withholding of any kind other than any deductions or withholding required by law; if a User makes a deduction or withholding required by law from any payment, the sum due shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of any such deduction or withholding, the Company receives a sum equal to the sum it would have received had no deduction or withholding been made;
all payments made by the Company (whether as a refund to the User or on another basis) shall be deemed to be inclusive of all taxes that may be payable by the User in connection with the payment, and the payment of such taxes are the User’s sole responsibility. Under no circumstances shall the Company have an obligation to deduct or withhold any tax when making any payment to the User.

CANCELLATION OF SERVICE(S), AMENDMENT OF ORDERS AND REFUND POLICY

The User may unilaterally cancel a Service(s) booked and fully or partly paid for by sending an e-mail to the Company’s support address service@adhoc.aero.

Refund in cases of cancellation, amendment of orders, or no-shows are subject to the Terms and Conditions of the Provider(s). However, irrespective of the Terms and Conditions of the Provider(s) in this respect, User hereby acknowledges and agrees that if the cancellation or the amendment of an order is placed less than forty-eight (48) hours but at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the confirmed Service(s) time, an amount representing 7.5% of the price shall be retained by the Company; and if the cancellation or the amendment is placed within twenty-four (24) hours of the confirmed Service(s) time, or in the event of a no-show, an amount of 15% of the price shall be retained by the Company.

A change by the User of the essential Service(s) conditions (such as the time, the Airport, the aircraft details, MTOW, number of passengers, etc.) equates to the cancellation of the Service(s) initiated by the User, and the Provider(s) has the right to refuse to perform the Service(s) in accordance with the changed conditions. Refund of the Service(s), the essential terms of which have been changed by the User, is carried out in accordance with this section 4.

For any cancellation made by the Company or the Provider(s) of the Service(s), the Company undertakes to return to the User the funds transferred to the Company as full or partial pre-payment. The User may request the Company for refund of the amount paid for the cancelled Service(s) within 4 (four) months from the agreed date of the Service(s). Upon the expiration of this term such request may be addressed directly to the Provider(s) only.

In other cases, the Company bears no obligation to return the funds to the User.

User hereby acknowledges that the Company, the Site are not providing the Services for which the User is about to place an order, but rather are merely platforms allowing the actual service provider to promote and sell its services thereon. The User hereby also acknowledges that neither the Company, nor the Site may be held liable for direct, indirect, special or consequential damages caused to the User as a result of placing, confirming, cancelling, amending, or rejecting an order by the Provider(s), or as a result of the Service(s) as provided by the service provider.
