  • 80% of the Charter Price if cancelled less than 48 hours but more than 24 hours prior to departure.
  • 100% of the Charter Price if cancelled within 24 hours of departure.

  1. CHARTER PRICE AND PAYMENT

 

4.1 The Charterer shall pay Equinox Charter the Charter Price at the time, in the amount, currency and to the address specified in accordance with the provisions set out therefore in the Equinox Charter Agreement.

 

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 Equinox Charter 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 The Bank of England 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 Agreement. On request from the Charterer, Equinox Charter in its sole discretion may elect to accept settlement of the price in either in US Dollars, Euros or GBP Sterling. On request, a new invoice will be issued to the Charterer, converting the Charter Price using the exchange rate on the date of issue of the invoice. If immediate payment is not received then Equinox Charter 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 Equinox Charter which is authorised to accept payment on behalf of the Carrier and received in cleared funds in such account, no later than 1 week prior to the date of the Flight as set out in a Charter Contract. When Flights are booked within 1 week 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). 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.

 

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), Equinox Charter will issue an amended or replacement Flight Confirmation and the Charterer will pay on demand any additional costs set out therein.

 

4.9 Equinox Charter acts as ‘agents’ of the carrier and 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 bank transfer (wire), 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 incurred by Equinox Charter and/or the Carrier in facilitating payment by debit or credit card. For 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 Equinox Charter from the Charterer’s credit card pursuant to clause 4.13.

 

4.11 If the Carrier is unable to perform a Flight in accordance with a Flight Confirmation due to an Aircraft technical failure or for any other reason attributable to the Carrier, Equinox Charter shall find a suitable replacement Aircraft and shall disclose any additional costs to the Charterer for which they will be liable. If Equinox Charter finds a suitable replacement, but the Charterer elects not to accept the replacement Aircraft found by Equinox Charter, Equinox Charter shall be entitled to retain all sums due to it under these Standard Charter Terms (including Equinox Charter’s fee for facilitating an Agreement) had the Charterer accepted the replacement Aircraft. If Equinox Charter does not find a suitable replacement, Equinox Charter will have to indemnify and hold harmless the Charterer for any and all damages caused by the Aircraft unavailability.

 

4.12 Unless agreed in advance of the Flight, Wi-Fi charges are not included within the Charter Price. Any charges by the Carrier for Wi-Fi used, that was not included in the Charter Agreement will be passed onto the Charterer to be paid on receipt of invoice.

 

4.13. If there is any increase in security costs, aviation insurance premiums, fuel (as per 4.2), landing fees, airport passenger duty or similar costs relating to the operation of the aircraft or any part of the Charter after the date the Agreement is made, Equinox Charter shall be entitled to increase the Charter Price by an amount equal to the increased cost to Equinox Charter of providing the Charter.

 

4.14 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 Equinox Charter credit card details using which Equinox Charter 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 Equinox Charter’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 Equinox Charter takes 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 Equinox Charter after Equinox Charter 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 Equinox Charter in connection with refunding such pre-authorised credit card payment).

They replace and override any previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations, or understandings, whether written or spoken, related to the subject matter they cover.

 

13.2. No Extra Recourse: Beyond Programme Members understand that they can’t rely on any statements, representations, assurances, or warranties (whether made honestly or by mistake) that are not explicitly mentioned in these Terms and Conditions. Beyond Programme Members agree not to pursue remedies for innocent or negligent misrepresentation based on any statements within these Terms and Conditions.

 

13.3. No Waiver: If Equinox Charter doesn’t immediately use a right or remedy provided in these Terms and Conditions or by law, it doesn’t mean they’re giving up that right or remedy. It also doesn’t stop them from using it later. Equinox Charter can choose to use a right or remedy partially, and it won’t prevent them from using it fully or using other rights or remedies later on.

 

13.4. Adjusting Invalid Parts: If any part of these Terms and Conditions becomes invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, we’ll try to make it valid, legal, and enforceable to the minimum extent necessary. If we can’t do that, we’ll consider that part deleted. Removing or adjusting a part of these Terms and Conditions won’t affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the terms.

 

13.5. Rights Transfer: Beyond Programme Members can’t transfer, use as collateral, create a trust with, or otherwise handle any or all of their rights and responsibilities under these Terms and Conditions without getting written consent from Equinox Charter first.

 

13.6. No Rights for Third Parties: People who are not in direct agreement to these Terms and Conditions have no rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any of the terms contained here.

 

  1. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

14.2. Exclusive Jurisdiction: The courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims).
