Charter Agreement
The agreement that applies when you accept a flight quote from us.
These documents are drafts prepared for review by counsel and have not yet been adopted. Until they are, each quote and order is governed by its written terms.
01Parties and our role
This agreement is between you, the charterer, and T&S Private Aviation acting as an air charter broker. The flight is performed by the direct air carrier named in your quote.
02Disclosures required by DOT (14 CFR Part 295)
We are an air charter broker. We are not the direct air carrier unless the quote states that we operate the flight under our own certificate. The direct air carrier, its certificate and the aircraft type are disclosed on the quote and may change only with your consent. Any liability insurance in excess of the carrier's is stated on the quote or does not exist.
03Eligibility and acceptance
You must be at least eighteen and authorised to bind every passenger. Acceptance of a quote in writing or by payment forms the agreement.
04Price and payment
The quote price covers the services listed. Federal excise tax, segment fees, international fees and operator pass-through charges are itemised. Payment is due as the quote specifies and before departure unless agreed otherwise.
05Cancellations and refunds
Cancellation terms are stated on the quote and depend on notice given and the operator's terms. Where an operator cancels for weather or mechanical reasons, you receive a refund or a replacement aircraft at your choice.
06Empty legs and shared flights
Empty legs follow the schedule of the originating trip; departure times may move and the leg may be withdrawn, in which case you are not charged. Shared-seat flights are sold per seat with fixed schedules and the carrier's own terms.
07Extra charges and card on file
Costs arising during the trip — de-icing, extended waiting, catering changes, damage or excessive cleaning — are billed at cost plus the handling fee shown on the quote, to the payment method on file.
08Flight operations
The pilot in command has final authority over the flight, including delays, diversions and refusal of carriage for safety. Weather and air traffic decisions rest with the operator.
09Passengers, documents and baggage
You provide accurate names, dates of birth and document details for every passenger and ensure each holds valid travel documents. Baggage must be within the aircraft limits stated on the quote.
10Payment disputes
Raise any dispute within thirty days of the invoice; we will provide the operator's documentation for the charges in question.
11Liability
The direct air carrier is responsible for the operation of the flight and carries the required liability insurance. Our liability as broker is limited to the fees you paid us.
12Governing law and general terms
Florida law governs. If any clause is unenforceable the rest remains in force. This document, the quote and the Payment Terms are the whole agreement.
