12. | ARBITRATION |
Any question concerning the existence, validity, or termination of this Agreement, and any other dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, that cannot be resolved by agreement between the Parties shall be finally settled by arbitration according to the ICC Rules and the following:
12.1 | The number of arbitrators shall be three. Each Party shall nominate one arbitrator for confirmation by the ICC. If a Party fails to nominate an arbitrator within the time period specified by the ICC Rules, the ICC Court of Arbitration shall appoint an arbitrator for that Party. The arbitrators nominated by (or on behalf of) the Parties shall, within 21 days after their confirmation by the ICC Court of Arbitration, agree on a third arbitrator who shall act as the chairman. |
12.2 | The language of the arbitration shall be English. |
12.3 | The decision of the arbitrators shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. Any award rendered by the arbitrators may be enforced by any court or authority of competent jurisdiction. |
12.4 | The place of the arbitration shall be Singapore. |
12.5 | Any monetary award shall be denominated in U.S Dollars. |
12.6 | The arbitrators shall be bound to follow the terms and conditions of this Agreement including, but not limited to, all limitations of liability provided herein. |
13. | GENERAL PROVISIONS |
13.1 | Assignment. Customer may not assign this Agreement or any right or obligation under this Agreement without Amadeus consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. If Amadeus permits an assignment, the assignee will be deemed to have assumed and be bound by all of Customer obligations under this Agreement. Amadeus may assign this Agreement to (i) a company within the Amadeus Group, and (ii) to any entity that acquires substantially all of Amadeus’ assets. |
13.2 | Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be responsible for, nor be deemed to be in default under this Agreement on account of, any failure to perform or delay in performance hereunder caused directly or indirectly by any fact beyond such Party’s reasonable control including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, criminal acts of third parties, embargo, strikes or other labour disputes, work stoppages, riots, civil unrest, fires or acts of government (“Force Majeure”). The Party claiming that Force Majeure has occurred shall without unnecessary delay notify the other Party in writing of the cause and effect of the Force Majeure. The Parties shall use their best efforts to avoid, overcome and offset the effects of any cause or potential cause of an event of Force Majeure. The Party claiming Force Majeure shall notify the other Party immediately of the cessation of the Force Majeure. Upon cessation of the cause of the Force Majeure, this Agreement shall again become fully operative, provided that should such Force Majeure event continue for greater than sixty (60) days, either Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party, and the provisions of Clause 10 will apply. However, a Force Majeure event will not relieve either Party of the obligations accrued prior to the occurrence of the Force Majeure. For clarification of doubt, Amadeus’ liability to pay Incentives to the Customer on Net Bookings made by Customer prior to such Force Majeure event will survive such events. |
13.3 | IP/Tradenames/Trademarks. The owner of all patent, trademark, copyright and any other intellectual property right will continue to be the owner of such property rights. No right to such property is granted by one Party to the other by virtue of this Agreement. Except for Amadeus’ right to identify Customer as a customer of Amadeus, the Parties will not use one another’s tradename or trademarks without prior written consent of the owner. Amadeus will own all development provided or funded by Amadeus or its contractors except solely as otherwise agreed in writing. |
10
13.4 | Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, exclusive of conflicts of law principles. |
13.5 | Material Revenue Change. Should there be a decrease of chargeable booking fee from Amadeus to any Provider, Amadeus upon receiving intimation to this effect, shall notify Customer of such change. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith any adjustments necessary to the Incentive rates resulting from such change. In the event that the Parties cannot agree to such adjustments after reasonable consultations and escalation to senior management within their respective organizations during a period of no less than forty-five (45) days, Amadeus may reduce the Incentive on such segments. In such cases, and at Customer’s request and expense, Amadeus shall facilitate a certificate issued by an independent third party auditor or accounting firm confirming that, based on such firm’s assessment, the reduction in the Incentive to Customer reflects the reduction in the booking fee from the applicable Provider. |
13.6 | Change in Law/Regulation. The Parties understand that the travel industry in which they operate is constantly evolving due to technological advancements, regulatory overview and changes in Provider distribution policies. The Parties desire the flexibility to address material changes in the industry. Accordingly, in the event there is a material change in any law or regulation governing or applying to GDSs, Providers or travel agency companies which have or will have a direct or indirect material adverse effect upon the benefits of this Agreement to either Party, then the affected Party may notify the other Party of such material change in law or regulation, as well as proposed changes to this Agreement (the “Notice”). The Parties will then meet as appropriate with the goal of addressing the proposed changes in good faith. If the Parties do not agree to such changes within forty-five (45) days after the date of the Notice, then the affected Party may terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days written prior notice to the other Party and the provisions of Clause 10 will apply. Each Party will be relieved of any future payment/repayment obligations under this Agreement as of the effective date of such cancellation. Each Party will bear its own costs and expenses incurred as a result of said termination. |
13.7 | Booking and Transaction Counts. The automated records that Amadeus relies upon for Booking and Transaction data shall prevail in any dispute about Booking or Transaction counts. |
13.8 | Waiver. No waiver of any provision or of any breach of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or of any subsequent breach. |
13.9 | Independence. In no event shall either Party act as an agent of the other. The Parties are entirely independent from the other and this Agreement in no manner creates a partnership, joint venture or similar relationship. |
13.10 | Entire Agreement / Modification. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to this subject matter and supersedes and cancels all prior agreements or understandings, oral or written. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in writing, signed by authorized representatives of each Party. |
11
13.11 | Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is for the benefit of the Parties only. It does not confer any rights or benefits on any other party. |
13.12 | Identification of Customer and Customer Locations. Customer agrees, and will cause Customer Locations and Customer Offices to agree as necessary, to their identification in any marketing, booking and sales data that Amadeus, Amadeus IT Group, S.A. or any other company of the Amadeus Group decides to make available. |
13.13 | Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability and shall not in any way affect or impair the validity, legality and enforceability of the balance of such provision or any other provision of this Agreement. The Parties shall endeavour in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) or such portion thereof with such valid, legal and enforceable provision(s) the economic effect or which is as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s). |

For Customer Locations in Sri Lanka, UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Hong Kong and Germany, which are non-majority or non-wholly owned joint ventures or subsidiaries but with a dedicated Customer Office ID, Customer shall provide Amadeus with a letter from such Customer Location whereby such Customer Location agrees to forego all payments from the Amadeus Group that are not specifically covered under this Agreement.

EXHIBIT 2
COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS
The commercial conditions detailed in Exhibit 2 below are valid only for the Customer Locations identified in Exhibit 1 above.
I. | Incentives |
Amadeus shall pay the incentives as per the terms below (“Incentives”):
A. | India Booking Incentives. As consideration for Customer making XXXX (XXXX) and subject to I (C) Net Bookings in India during the Term, Amadeus will pay Customer an incentive per Net Booking (“India Incentive”) as follows: |
Type of Booking |
Incentive in USD per Net Booking |
|||
All international Bookings |
XXXX | |||
All domestic Bookings on Jet Airways, Jet Lite, Kingfisher Airlines |
XXXX | |||
All domestic Bookings on Air India |
XXXX |
India Incentives on Kingfisher will be paid until 30 June 2012 from the Effective Date of this Agreement. India Incentive payments will be restarted only upon receipt of all payments due to Amadeus from Kingfisher.
B. | India Excess Booking Incentive |
Amadeus will pay to Customer a top-up incentive of XXXX U.S. Dollars (the “Excess Booking Incentive”) for every Net Booking created in the Customer Locations in India in excess of XXXX (XXXX) Net Bookings during the Term. The Excess Booking Incentive will be added to the applicable India Incentives and paid in accordance with the Incentive payment schedule detailed in Section K below.
C. | India Booking Targets |
The Parties have agreed to the following Net Booking targets originating from Customer Locations in India over the Term (the “India Booking Targets”).
Period |
01Apr’12- 30Mar’13 |
01Apr’13- 30Mar’14 |
01Apr’14- 30Mar’15 |
01Apr’15- 30Mar’16 |
01Apr’16- 30Jun’17 |
|||||||||||||||
Net Booking Target |
XXXX | XXXX | XXXX | XXXX | XXXX |
In the event that Customer achieves at least XXXX of the India Booking Targets over each Period, then Amadeus will pay to Customer the full India Incentive as per the table in Clause A above. In the event Customer achieves less than XXXX of the India Booking Targets over the Period, then the India Incentive will be reduced in proportion to the shortfall percentage of the India Booking Targets.

Confidential Treatment Requested
The portions of this document marked by “XXXX” have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission
India Booking Targets will be calculated for each Period at the end of that Period. Any applicable reduction in India Incentives will be deducted from the last quarter Incentive payment of the applicable Period. All Net Booking counts shall then be set to zero and recalculated for the next Period.
In the event that, during any subsequent Period, Customer exceeds its India Booking Targets, then Amadeus will count these bookings towards any previous Period’s shortfall. In the event that the addition of these bookings would have allowed the Customer to have reached its previous Period’s XXXX minimum threshold, then Amadeus will pay back to Customer any deduction on India Incentives that may have been applied the previous Period as a result of such shortfalls. By the same measure, any excess Net Bookings achieved in a preceding Period may be carried over and counted towards the subsequent Period’s Booking Target.
For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Customer achieves XXXX (XXXX) Net Bookings from its India Customer Locations during the Term, then any India Incentive deductions previously applied for a given Period as a result of Customer not achieving its India Booking Targets will be repaid in the final quarter’s Incentive payment of the final Period.
Examples:
During the Period 1 April 2012 – 30 March 2013 the India Booking Target is XXXX bookings. Customer must therefore reach a minimum of XXXX Net Bookings (XXXX * XXXX) from its Indian Customer Locations to earn full India Incentives.
During the Period 1 April 2012 – 30 March 2013 Customer generates XXXX Net Bookings from its Customer Locations. Therefore (XXXX / XXXX) = XXXX. Full India Incentives apply.
During the Period 1 April 2012 – 30 March 2013 Customer generates XXXX Net Bookings from its Indian Customer Locations. Therefore (XXXX / XXXX) = XXXX, a shortfall of XXXX bookings. Customer has not reached the XXXX minimum threshold so a reduction of XXXX on all India Incentives for that Period will be applied. This amount will be deducted from the last quarter Incentive payments for that Period.
During the Period 1 April 2013 – 30 March 2014 Customer generates XXXX Net Bookings from its Indian Customer Locations versus a minimum threshold of XXXX (XXXX * XXXX). Therefore (XXXX / XXXX) = XXXX. Full India Incentives apply for that Period. In addition, because Customer has exceeded the India Booking Target by XXXX Net Bookings, such Net Bookings can be added to the previous Period’s XXXX Net Booking shortfall. Customer therefore retroactively achieves the previous Period’s minimum threshold and previous deductions will be repaid in the final quarter’s Incentive payment of the current Period.
D. | Sri Lanka Booking Incentives. As consideration for Customer complying with the terms of this Agreement, Amadeus will pay Customer an incentive per Net Booking (“Sri Lanka Incentive”) from its Sri Lanka Customer Location(s) as follows: |
Market(s) |
Incentive in USD per Net Booking |
|||
Sri Lanka |

E. | UAE Booking Incentives. As consideration for Customer making the UAE Net Booking targets detailed below, Amadeus will pay Customer an incentive per Net Booking (“UAE Incentive”) created from its UAE Customer Locations as follows: |
Market(s) |
Incentive in USD per Net Booking |
|||
UAE |
XXXX |
The Parties have agreed to the following UAE Net Booking targets originating from Customer’s UAE Customer Locations:
Period |
01Apr’12- 30Mar’13 |
01Apr’13- 30Mar’14 |
01Apr’14- 30Mar’15 |
01Apr’15- 30Mar’16 |
01Apr’16- 30Jun’17 |
|||||||||||||||
Net Booking Targets | ||||||||||||||||||||
UAE Customer Locations |
XXXX | XXXX | XXXX | XXXX | XXXX |
In the event Customer achieves less than XXXX of the above targets from its UAE Customer Locations, then UAE Incentives will be reduced in proportion to the shortfall percentage in the corresponding Net Booking Targets.
UAE Net Booking Targets will be calculated for each Period at the end of that Period. Any applicable reduction in UAE Incentives will be deducted from the last quarter Incentive payment of the applicable Period. All Net Booking counts shall then be set to zero and recalculated for the next Period.
In the event that, during any subsequent Period, Customer exceeds its respective UAE Net Booking Targets, then Amadeus will count these bookings towards any previous Period’s shortfall. In the event that the addition of these bookings would have allowed the Customer to have reached the previous Period’s XXXX minimum threshold, then Amadeus will pay back to Customer any deduction on UAE Incentives that may have been applied the previous Period as a result of such shortfalls. By the same measure, any excess Net Bookings achieved in a preceding Period may be carried over and counted towards the subsequent Period’s Net Booking Target.
Examples:
During the Period 1 April 2012 – 30 March 2013 Customer generates XXXX Net Bookings out of its UAE Customer Locations representing XXXX of the UAE Net Booking Target and XXXX below the minimum threshold. The UAE Incentive for the UAE Customer Locations will therefore be reduced by 20% for that Period.
During the Period 1 April 2013 – 30 March 2014 Customer generates XXXX Net Bookings out of its UAE Customer Locations, representing XXXX above the UAE Net Booking Target. Therefore full UAE Incentives apply for that Period. In addition, because Customer has exceeded the UAE Net Booking Target by XXXX Net Bookings, such Net Bookings can be added to the previous Period’s shortfall. Customer therefore retroactively achieves the previous Period’s minimum threshold and previous deductions on the UAE Incentives will be repaid in the final quarter’s Incentive payment of the current Period.

In the event Customer achieves less than XXXX of the above targets from GCC Customer Locations during each Period, then the GCC Incentives will be reduced in proportion to the shortfall percentage in the corresponding Net Booking Targets.
GCC Net Booking Targets will be calculated for each Period at the end of that Period. Any applicable reduction in GCC Incentives will be deducted from the last quarter Incentive payment of the applicable Period. All Net Booking counts shall then be set to zero and recalculated for the next Period.
In the event that, during any subsequent Period, Customer exceeds its GCC Net Booking Targets, then Amadeus will count these bookings towards any previous Period’s shortfall. In the event that the addition of these bookings would have allowed the Customer to have reached the previous Period’s XXXX minimum threshold, then Amadeus will pay back to Customer any deduction on GCC Incentives that may have been applied the previous Period as a result of such shortfalls. By the same measure, any excess Net Bookings achieved in a preceding Period may be carried over and counted towards the subsequent Period’s Net Booking Target.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, all Incentives and Net Booking volume calculations will not apply to bookings of Content where the Provider makes or has made that Content available in the System in exchange for a direct or indirect reduction of Amadeus booking related distribution fees or at a charge, and/or including Content that becomes part of a Provider and/or Amadeus content program, and/or including Content for which the Provider restricts payment of incentives, (the “Affected Content”). In any such event, Amadeus will notify Customer in writing of the terms and conditions applicable to bookings of Affected Content.

The Parties will discuss in good faith any such terms and conditions upon the Customer’s request. Subject to the foregoing, the terms and conditions with respect to the Affected Content will apply upon the date stated in Amadeus’ notice, unless otherwise agreed between Amadeus and Customer in good faith. If Customer chooses not to accept such terms and conditions by notifying Amadeus within 30 days of Amadeus’ notice, then: (i) Amadeus may restrict access to the Affected Content and/or (ii) no Incentives will apply on such Affected Content.

EXHIBIT 6
Amadeus Fare Guarantee
The following Exhibit explains the standard against which all fare claims are measured and which may be amended from time to time.
Customer acknowledges that Amadeus is subject to certain technical limitations with regards to the retrieval of data necessary for the investigation of past date claims. For such past date claims Amadeus will undertake good faith efforts to retrieve the necessary data to investigate such claims. However, in the event such data is no longer retrievable / recoverable by Amadeus due to technical limitations then Amadeus reserves the right to reject such claim(s).
Amadeus guarantees public fares quoted by using auto pricing functions in the Amadeus central system, at the time of ticketing.
This guarantee is subject to the following terms and conditions, which apply to both handwritten tickets and automated tickets:
Agents shall automatically store the price in the PNR (TST). Amadeus only guarantees the fare if the TST is stored with an automatic indicator (failcodes I 0 and F N), and pricing and ticketing has been made the same day. If TST is priced with FXP with command “FXP/A-(fare basis)” this should be taken as a guaranteed price and Amadeus should honour the same.
If the TST is priced for private fares using Zap Add entries the TST will be updated with the automatic indicator (fail code A O). For the avoidance of doubt, neither private fares nor the amount or percentage added through Zap Add is guaranteed by Amadeus as the owner of the fare filing is the airline and the Zap Add an agreement between the airline(s) and the Customer concerned. In the event Customer receives a claim from a given airline in relation to a private fare using Zap Add, and where the Customer believes the fare was incorrectly filed by the airline(s), then Amadeus will work in good faith with the Customer and airline(s) concerned to investigate such a discrepancy.
A - If the ticket is issued automatically by an Amadeus agent ticketing system and if a ‘0’ failcode indicator is printed on the ticket.
B - If the ticket is issued manually, then at least a printout of the TST with an ‘I’ indicator is required. Agents shall retain a printout of the pricing entry response and resulting TST. As proof Amadeus only accepts system prints (ENTRY : WRA/TQT) provided the sign attribute -IHW- is set to Yes. If the ticket is issued manually, Amadeus can accept a copy of the electronically stored TST for Tickets issued with fail code I 0. The electronic copy must indicate the same date as the date of issuance of the manual ticket.
Amadeus does not guarantee fares or tickets under the following conditions:
If the conditions ‘A’ and ‘B’ have not been complied with by the ticketing agent.
Any manual intervention to the stored fare record (TST), in which cases the indicator will change to “M”.
IT / BT fares are not guaranteed, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the original TST will be guaranteed in accordance with the terms and conditions detailed above, provided that in the event of a claim the Customer maintains and provides an original electronic copy of the TST.
33
Fares entered in automated tickets issued in systems other than Amadeus.
Fares entered in tickets issued on Amadeus central ticketing system in ‘TY’ mode (TY availability depending on the market and airline set-up).
Violations of ticketing rules such as advanced or instant purchase rules, any ticket issued with a failcode ‘0’ because the agent opted to use the Amadeus functionality to extend the validity of the ‘TST’ is excluded from the fare guarantee if ticketing rules have been violated.
Tickets priced and issued with fail code I 5 when passenger type code does not match.
For the use of Zap Off functionality all fares stored in the TST will be considered manual as the TST will have the indicator set to “M” and therefore not guaranteed by Amadeus.
A ticket designator is mandatory information provided by the Airline with the agreement between Airline and Travel agency.
In case of a claim Amadeus agrees to work with the Customer and Airline(s) concerned to investigate a discrepancy related to the amount or percentage calculated incorrectly related to the Zap Off functionality.
Ticketing Restrictions
Amadeus controls whether the ticketing rules are checked with the LTD switch (last ticketing date) and the office profile (TST-validity). If LTD is not switched on, and/or the TST validity is not set to 1 day only, ADMs of this nature will be excluded from any guarantee.
Amadeus does not guarantee the TST validity superior to one day. Amadeus guarantees the fare only if priced and issued the same day.
Sales Restrictions
Offline Sales restrictions are the responsibility of the agency. When pricing a PNR, the system is unable to determine what airline the ticket will be validated on; therefore sales restrictions advising that ticket must be validated on a specific carrier cannot be verified. When validating on a different carrier, the sales restriction must be verified. In an online environment, in the event a claim is received by the Customer as a result of a Sales Restriction or validating carrier that gets processed automatically in the System, then the Parties agree to work in good faith to address the claim with the airline(s) concerned.
Negotiated Fares
Negotiated fares are loaded directly into Amadeus by the airlines or the agent. Therefore, their pricing is entirely the updater’s responsibility. Amadeus does not take responsibility in case of problems regarding negotiated fares. Any conflict needs to be handled directly with the respective updater. Amadeus can only guarantee the related taxes. In the event Customer receives a claim from a given airline in relation to a negotiated fare that the Customer believes was incorrectly loaded by the airline(s), then Amadeus agrees to work in good faith with the Customer and airline(s) concerned to investigate such a discrepancy.
Special Cases
Entries for Fare Quote with follow-up entries that lead to automatic pricing and storing of TST with fail code I, 0, including entries for overrides, will be guaranteed provided that the ticket has been issued on the same day. The airline can modify their fare rule at any time, so a fare priced is guaranteed only the day of the pricing. No claim will be accepted is a fare is no longer priced on/before the LTD.
