6. COMPANY’S LIABILITY/TIME LIMITS FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS:

(a) The provisions and limitations of the Athens Convention Relating to the Carriage of Passengers and Their Luggage by Sea, 1974 (the “Athens Convention”) and the International Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims, 1976 (the “1976 Convention”) are incorporated in this Contract. Where the terms of this Contract conflict with any applicable mandatory provision of law or international convention, including, where applicable, the Strasbourg Convention on the Limitation of Liability in Inland Navigation, 2012 (the “CLNI Convention”), the provisions of that law or convention prevail. Copies of applicable Conventions are available on request.

(b) Company shall be liable only in accordance with the provisions and limitations of the Athens Convention and the 1976 Convention. The Athens Convention and the 1976 Convention in most cases limit Company’s liability for death, personal injury, and lost or damaged property. The Athens Convention limits Company’s liability for death of or personal injury to a Passenger to no more than 46,666 Special Drawing Rights (as defined therein).

(c) The Athens Convention presumes that luggage has been delivered undamaged unless written notice is given to us: (i) in the case of apparent damage, before or at the time of disembarkation or re-delivery; or (ii) in the case of loss or non-apparent damage, within 15 days of the date of disembarkation or re-delivery or from the time when re-delivery should have taken place.

(d) Under the Athens Convention any action for damages arising out of personal injury, death, or lost or damaged luggage shall be time-barred after a period of two (2) years. The limitation period shall be calculated as follows: (i) in the case of personal injury, from the date of disembarkation of Passenger; (ii) in the case of death, from the date when Passenger should have disembarked or the date of death, whichever is later; (iii) in the case of lost or damaged luggage, from the date of disembarkation or from the date when disembarkation should have taken place, whichever is later.

(e) In no case shall an action be brought after the expiration of a period of three years from the date of disembarkation of Passenger or from the date when disembarkation should have taken place, whichever is later.

(f) Company shall not be liable for lost or damaged valuables, except where such valuables have been deposited with Company for the purpose of safe-keeping in which case Company shall be liable up to the limit provided for in the Conventions.

(g) Where any of the Conventions permit Company to apply a deductible, Company may apply that deductible.

(h) In the event it is determined that Company is not entitled to all of the benefits of the Conventions, including the limitations stated above, Passenger may not maintain a lawsuit against Company or the Vessel, nor will Company or the Vessel be liable, for loss of life or bodily injury unless written notice of the claim is delivered to Company not later than six (6) months after the day of death or injury, the lawsuit is commenced not later than one (1) year after the day of death or injury, and valid service of the lawsuit on Company or the Vessel, as applicable, is made within thirty (30) days following the expiration of that one-year period. For all other claims, including but not limited to claims for loss or damage to Baggage, breach of contract, or other claim, not governed by the Conventions, Passenger may not maintain a lawsuit against Company or the Vessel, unless Company is provided with written notice of claim within thirty (30) days after the date of disembarkation, the lawsuit for such claim is commenced not later than one-year after the date of disembarkation, and valid service of the lawsuit on the Vessel or Company, as applicable, is made within thirty (30) days following the expiration of that one year period. In the case of a claim by or on behalf of a minor or legally incompetent person, the time periods described above shall begin to run on the earlier of: (a) date of appointment of a legal representative for the minor or legally incompetent person, or their estate (as the case may be); or (b) three (3) years after the date of death, injury or damage, as applicable.

(i) Certain third parties derive rights and exemptions from liability as a result of the terms and conditions stated herein. All of Company’s rights, exemptions from liability, defenses and immunities under this Contract (including, but not limited to, those arising under this Section 6 or applicable law) inure to the benefit of Company’s employees and agents, together with the Vessel and the Vessel’s tenders, operators, managers, charterers, officers, staff, crew members, shipbuilders and manufacturers of all component parts. These third parties will have no liability to Passenger, either in contract or in tort, which is greater than or different from Company’s liability.

(j) If a written claim is not made and suit is not commenced within the times provided in this section 6, then passenger waives and releases any right s/he may have to make a claim against company for any such bodily injury, emotional distress or injury or death or loss.

7. ITINERARY/RIGHT TO CHANGE/DETENTION: Company will make every reasonable effort to undertake the advertised and any other agreed and offered sailings, but no sailings are guaranteed, and sailings may be altered, delayed, amended, or canceled subject to circumstances. If the performance of the proposed voyage is hindered or prevented (or in the opinion of Company is likely to be hindered or prevented) by war, hostilities, blockade, epidemics, weather condition, high or low water levels, ice, labor conflicts, breakdown of the Vessel, congestion, lock operational malfunction, docking difficulties or any other cause whatsoever or if Company considers that for any reason whatsoever, proceeding to, attempting to enter, or entering or remaining at the place of disembarkation may expose the Vessel to risk of loss or damage or to be likely to delay her, Passenger and his/her property may be landed at the place of embarkation or at any place which Company or the Captain of the Vessel in his or her discretion may reasonably decide upon, at which place the responsibility of Company shall cease and this contract shall be deemed to have been fully performed, or if Passenger has not embarked, Company may cancel the proposed voyage and at Uniworld’s sole discretion provide passengers with a Future Travel Credit (FTC) or refund of monies paid to Uniworld in connection with such cruise-tour. Company reserves the right at its sole option and discretion, without any liability for damages or refund of any kind to deviate from the Vessel’s advertised or ordinary itinerary or route, to delay, advance or lengthen any sailing, to omit or change ports of call, to arrange for substantially equivalent transportation by another vessel and/or by other means of transportation, including without limitation by motor coach or other land transportation alternatives, whether belonging to Company or not, and to cause Passenger to disembark from the Vessel temporarily or permanently. Company may for any reason whatsoever cancel any sailing or terminate the Contract at any time before departure of the Vessel, and in such event, the Company’s only liability will be to provide Passengers the amount it has received for the Contract in the form of a Future Travel Credit or at Uniworld’s discretion a refund of monies paid to Uniworld in connection with such cruise-tour. For purposes of assisting other vessels or protecting life or property, the Captain of the Vessel has the right, at his or her sole discretion, to deviate from the Vessel’s advertised or ordinary itinerary or route, to delay, advance or cancel any sailing, to omit or change any ports of call, to tow or to be towed, to transfer Passenger and Passenger’s baggage to any other vessel and or other means of transportation whether belonging to Company or not, to cause Passenger to disembark the Vessel temporarily or permanently, and Passenger shall have no claims against Company in such circumstances.

8. HEALTH AND SECURITY/INDEMNIFICATION BY PASSENGER: Passenger represents and warrants that Passenger is physically and otherwise fit to travel; that s/he will at all times comply with Vessel’s rules and regulations and orders and directions of the Vessel’s officers and staff; that his/her conduct will not impair the safety of the Vessel or inconvenience other passengers.

Company and the Captain of the Vessel, without liability, at any time, may refuse to transport or may land any Passenger at any port or place, or transfer Passenger to other means of transportation, because of health or physical condition, mental disorder, failure to abide by Vessel regulations, failure to possess necessary passports, visas and health or vaccination certificates, or other causes rendering Passenger unfit to travel on the Vessel.

If Passenger is refused passage or leaves the Vessel prior to the end of the cruise for any of the reasons described in this section or for other reasons including, but not limited to, personal, medical, or business reasons, Company will not be required to refund any portion of the Contract price or be responsible for any of Passenger’s cost.

Passenger hereby consents to a reasonable search being made of Passenger’s person, baggage or other property, and to the removal and confiscation or destruction of any object which may, in the opinion of Company, impair the safety of the Vessel or inconvenience other Passengers.

Passenger shall indemnify Company for all penalties, fines, charges, losses or expenses incurred or imposed upon Company or the Vessel by virtue of any act or violation of law by Passenger.
