The confirmation will be sent via email to the address registered at the time of booking.

For bookings made via the official Animawings website, the booking code will be displayed on the screen and emailed to the address registered at the time of booking. Animawings advises passengers to print the e-ticket, which includes information that may be required during check-in. Once a booking code is issued, there is no need for the passenger to reconfirm the flight unless there are changes to the flight schedule. The passenger is responsible for ensuring that they receive the travel ticket, itinerary, and payment confirmation via email.

According to the terms and conditions of Animawings, the travel ticket acquired by the passenger, regardless of whether it was purchased online, through an agent authorized by Animawings, or via an online aggregator platform, is deemed valid exclusively for the route and itinerary specified on the ticket. Specifically, the ticket is valid solely for transportation on the specified date and flight between the place of departure and the final destination, and may only be utilized by the individual whose name is specified on the ticket.

If a passenger wishes to modify their travel dates, such as the departure or arrival date, they must contact Animawings or access their reservation to make the changes themselves. Passengers who have received confirmation of payment have the right to change their booking up to 6 hours prior to the scheduled departure time of the original flight, subject to payment of a change fee, unless otherwise specified. Any changes made by the passenger may result in a recalculation of the fare.

The passenger may choose to accept the new fare or keep the original ticket. The regulations that govern changes to an e-ticket are outlined in the General Terms and Conditions of Carriage, which are accessible on the official website.

Once the desired changes have been made, the passenger must re-enter the Online check-in process, when and where applicable, and re-issue their boarding pass. The passenger is solely responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable regulations and requirements.

In the event of an online change to the booking, any adjustments made will apply to all passengers associated with that booking. In the case where only specific passengers on a booking code require modifications, they must directly contact the Call Centre or Customer Service Department to make such changes.

It is important to note that no further modifications to the travel dates will be allowed if the ticket itinerary contains multiple flight segments and the travel date for any of the segments has already elapsed.

The passenger must inform Animawings as soon as possible by contacting customerservice@animawings.com or the Call Center and providing supporting documentation.

In such instances, the passenger must obtain their baggage from the baggage band and register it for their next flight.

The commander of the aircraft has the authority, in accordance with the Tokyo Convention and considering the aforementioned behaviors:

to deny boarding to any individual who, due to their physical or mental condition, poses a potential threat to the safety and security of the aircraft and its passengers.

These passengers have no right to a refund or compensation and may also be denied a future flight.

to decide to land at the nearest airport to disembark a turbulent passenger.

In the event that a unruly passenger engages in inappropriate behavior that constitutes a possible contravention or crime, the Airline shall report the incident and its consequences to the competent authorities for possible criminal investigation. Furthermore, if a passenger's misconduct forces the air carrier to divert the flight from its original destination, the passenger in question shall be responsible for all costs incurred as a result of the forced landing, including any penalties imposed by the authorities of the country in which it landed.

It is important to note that passengers are prohibited from consuming any alcoholic beverages onboard the aircraft, except for those served or sold by the crew members. The air carrier retains the right to refuse to serve alcoholic beverages to any passenger who appears to be in an inadequate condition in order to safeguard the safety and security of the flight.

14.2. ELECTRONIC DEVICES

The air carrier has the authority to prohibit or restrict the use of electronic devices on board the aircraft if they do not comply with the provisions and indications specified by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) "Technical Instructions for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air," the International Air Carrier Association (IATA), Animawings internal regulations, as well as those prohibited by legislation, rules or orders in force of the States of transit and/or destination.

This is done in the interest of flight safety and security. Passengers are advised to refer to the additional annexes included in the section "Animawings Terms and Conditions of Travel" for more information, and any questions can be directed to the Customer Service Department at customerservice@animawings.com.

Prior to travel, passengers have a legal obligation to present all necessary documents for travel, including but not limited to border crossing documents, health documents, and any other documents required by laws, rules, orders, or requirements of the countries involved. The airline, for security reasons, has the legal right to request copies of these documents to be made and kept. In accordance with the law, Animawings reserves the right to refuse carriage to passengers who fail to comply with the aforementioned requirements or whose travel documents are deemed inappropriate.

15.3. NECESSARY VISAS

In order to ensure compliance with international regulations and maintain the safety and security of air travel, it is the responsibility of each passenger to obtain and present all necessary travel documents, including but not limited to border crossing documents and health documents, as required by the laws, rules, orders, and requirements of the countries involved in their travel itinerary.

In the event that a passenger is refused entry to the country of destination, the passenger shall be solely responsible for paying any fines or fees imposed on the carrier by the government of that country, as well as for the cost of their return to the country of departure. The air carrier is not liable to refund the fare paid by the passenger for carriage to the country from which the passenger has been refused entry.

From a legal perspective, if the air carrier is required to pay fines, penalties, or expenses as a result of the passenger's failure to comply with the laws, rules, orders, or travel requirements of the countries concerned, or due to the failure to produce the necessary documents, the passenger is obligated to reimburse the carrier for any amount or expense incurred by the carrier for such acts or facts. The air carrier has the right to demand reimbursement from the passenger and may offset the amount of such fines or penalties against the value of the unused segments of the Ticket or any other funds of the passenger in the carrier's possession. In case the offsetting amount is not sufficient, the air carrier may take legal action against the passenger to recover the outstanding amount.

15.6. AIRPORT CUSTOMS AND SECURITY INSPECTION

In compliance with security and safety measures, passengers and their luggage are subject to anti-terrorist screening and a border police check as part of the boarding process, after the completion of check-in formalities. If requested by government officials or customs staff, the passenger may also be required to undergo additional baggage screening. Any loss or damage suffered by the passenger during or as a result of such security checks shall not be the liability of the air carrier.

15.7. INTERRUPTION IN CASE OF EMERGENCY DURING THE FLIGHT

Animawings Airlines advises passengers to carry valid medical and transportation insurance during their travel. The air carrier shall not be held liable for any of the aforementioned expenses.

16.1. GENERAL CONDITIONS OF LIABILITY

The liability of Animawings is governed by its Terms and Conditions of Travel, which limit the airline's liability. To ensure adequate coverage, Animawings recommends that passengers obtain travel insurance from an insurance company specializing in such cases. The Montreal Convention establishes rules and limitations of liability for international air transport, and these rules apply to Animawings only if the transport is an international one covered by the Convention. Similarly, Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 establishes liability rules and limitations for Community air carriage, and these rules apply to Animawings only if the carriage is a Community carriage. If a passenger's negligence, error, or omission contributes to the damage, the air carrier's liability for the damage will be reduced. Finally, the air carrier is only liable for damage occurring during the flight or on flight segments where the flight number with the carrier's code (A2) appears on the ticket.

Animawings is not responsible for the contents of baggage in the event of loss, delay, and/or damage to goods in the following categories:

Fragile or perishable articles

Money, credit cards, cheques

16.2. LIABILITY FOR HAND BAGGAGE

Animawings shall not be responsible for the loss of hand baggage.

16.3. LIABILITY FOR HOLD BAGGAGE

16.3.1. Damaged hold baggage

If hold baggage is damaged, the passenger will be compensated according to the following conditions:

1) The passenger provides Animawings:

a. Proof of purchase ( i.e. receipt or invoice);

b. PIR (Property Irregularity Report) drawn up at the Baggage Assistance Desk (the desk displaying the Animawings logo) at the airport (before leaving the baggage belt area at the arrival airport);

c. Boarding Pass and Baggage Identification Tag;

d. Demonstration photographs of damaged baggage, including a frame from which its mark can be seen (not just details).

Subject to the above conditions, the value associated with damaged hold baggage will be calculated according to the degree of wear and tear. The degree of wear and tear will be assessed according to the period of use ( i.e. the age of the baggage according to the date of purchase), as follows:

First year of use. Wear and tear represents 20% of the purchase value, according to the purchase receipt. Example: The purchase value of the baggage is 500 lei. Baggage wear and tear is 20% of 500 lei, i.e., 100 lei.

Starting from the second year of use. 10% is added to the wear and tear value for each subsequent year of use. Example. The purchase price of the hold baggage is 500 lei. In the third year of use, baggage wear and tear is 40% of the value of the baggage (500 lei), i.e., 200 lei.

2) The passenger cannot provide proof of purchase but has provided Animawings with the following:

a. PIR (Property Irregularity Report) drawn up at the Baggage Assistance Desk (the desk displaying the Animawings logo) at the airport (before leaving the baggage area of the arrival airport);

b. Boarding Pass and Baggage Identification Tag;

c. Demonstration photographs of damaged baggage, including a frame from which its mark can be seen (not just details).

Subject to the above conditions, the value associated with damaged hold baggage will be calculated according to the degree of damage and the type of baggage as follows:

Baggage is damaged and cannot be used after the flight.

 - Premium Brands: up to 80 EUR/piece

 - Regular Brands: up to 50 EUR /piece

Baggage is damaged and needs to be repaired before it can be used.

 - Premium Brands: up to 40 EUR/piece

 - Regular Brands: up to 20 EUR /piece

Please note that passengers must provide proof that the baggage is an original brand: a product code, photos, a certificate of Authenticity, or written confirmation from the company where the piece of baggage was purchased or from their Customer Service department.

Animawings will not be held responsible for: the destruction of items contained in the baggage, for any damage to the passenger's baggage caused by certain substances such as wine, oil, food, or for minor damages caused to the baggage ( i.e. scratches, tears on the seam caused by excess weight, and not only: cipher, broken zipper keys, detached side handles, missing tags, any other luggage accessories that have not been completely damaged).

If the passengers presents themselves at the check-in counter with damaged baggage prior to the flight, this will be collected and tagged accordingly, with a Limited Release label, and the air carrier will have no responsibility for the subsequent condition of the baggage should it become damaged during the journey.

If a passenger packs prohibited items as specified in Article 11.5 of the terms and conditions in their checked baggage, the air carrier cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to such items. In cases where the checked baggage contains perishable items, such as food or drinks, or damaged goods, the air carrier has the right to remove and dispose of such contents without any compensation to the passenger.

16.3.2. Delayed Baggage

In the event of delayed delivery of a passenger's checked baggage, the air carrier will be held liable for any proven damage only if it is found to have failed to take all necessary measures to prevent such damage, or if it was impossible to do so.

The compensation offered by the air carrier for delayed baggage shall be calculated on the basis of tax documents proving the purchase of personal items of essential necessity (toiletries, underwear, and, if the situation so requires, a change of clothes after more than 24 hours of delay). It should be noted that no compensation will be paid to passengers who are residents of the destination country.

The estimated amount of compensation can be up to EUR 40/day per delayed baggage.

To claim compensation for delayed baggage, passengers must send receipts for the purchases specified above, flight information, and passenger names to claims@animawings.com within 21 days of receipt of baggage

16.3.3.Lost Baggage

Animawings’ liability for the loss or lack of contents of the Checked-in Baggage shall be restricted to SDR 19 per kilogram. The value of the compensation will be determined according to the weight registered at the moment of handing over the hold baggage, and not according to the value of the missing or damaged objects. In the exceptional case that the weight of the Checked-in Baggage is not recorded upon check-in, the indemnity shall be calculated at the standard weight of 23 kilograms.

16.3.4. Others

The air carrier will not be held liable for:

damages to hold baggage that result directly or indirectly from the insufficient quality of the baggage, any defects or deficiencies in the material or shape of the baggage, or overloading of the baggage.

any damage caused to hold baggage as a result of Security Control.

superficial damage resulting from the normal handling of checked baggage. This includes but is not limited to loss or damage to straps, minor cuts and scratches, slipping, and loss or damage to items attached to the baggage that were not provided by the manufacturer and do not affect the normal subsequent use of the baggage, such as padlocks, name tags, straps, covers, and other similar items.

The Terms and Conditions of Travel do not override exclusions or limitations of liability present in international, European, or internal laws in force unless expressly stated.

To avoid any of these situations, the air carrier's recommendation is to take out a baggage insurance policy.

16.4. LIABILITY IN CASE OF ACCIDENTS

Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 889/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 May 2002, which amends Council Regulation (EC) No 2027/1997 of 9 October 1997 concerning the liability of air carriers in the event of accidents during boarding, disembarkation, or on-board an aircraft, air carriers shall not be financially limited in their liability for any death, injury, or damage resulting from an accident during these operations or flight.

For claims up to 100,000 DST, air carriers are prohibited from contesting compensation claims, whereas claims exceeding this amount may be defended against by air carriers who can demonstrate that they and their agents have taken all necessary measures to prevent such damage or that it was impossible for them to do so.

The air carrier may be partially or wholly exonerated from liability if it can prove that the damage was caused or contributed to by the negligence of the injured or deceased passenger. Within 15 days of establishing the identity of the person entitled to compensation, the air carrier shall make an advance payment to cover immediate economic needs in proportion to the damage suffered, with a minimum of 16,000 DST per passenger in the case of death.

Any advance payment does not constitute an admission of liability by the air carrier and may be deducted from any subsequent payment under its liability, but is non-refundable unless it is demonstrated that the damage was caused or contributed to by the negligence of the injured or deceased passenger, or if the recipient is not entitled to compensation.

It is of utmost importance for passengers to promptly report any delay, loss, or damage to their baggage by visiting the designated Baggage Assistance desk, located within the baggage area of the arrival airport, to generate a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) prior to leaving the area. Failure to complete a PIR report before exiting the baggage area by a passenger whose baggage has been delayed, lost, or damaged will result in the air carrier denying any responsibility for the issue.

17.1.1. If the holder of the Identification Tag/TAG collects their baggage from the baggage belt area at the arrival airport without recording a PIR report, it will be considered as adequate evidence that the baggage was delivered in good condition and accordance with the Contract of Carriage by the carrier. In line with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 889/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 May 2002 amending Regulation (EC) No 2027/1997 on air carrier liability in the event of accidents, a passenger who has experienced the loss of or damage to checked-in baggage must submit a written claim within 7 (seven) days of the registration of the PIR. If the baggage is delayed, the passenger is obliged to submit a written claim within 21 (twenty-one) days of the registration of the PIR.

17.1.2. Passengers must request a copy of the Property Irregularity Report (PIR) when reporting any type of baggage damage to the Animawings Baggage Assistance Office. The PIR is an internal company document used for baggage identification and is not an official complaint. To ensure a valid claim, the passenger is required to attach the PIR to their written claim as mentioned in the above article.

17.1.3. Once the baggage is placed on the baggage belt at the arrival airport, the carrier's responsibility for the baggage comes to an end. It is important to note that the air carrier will not be held liable for any hold baggage that is mistakenly taken by another passenger from the baggage belt at the arrival airport. In such cases, the passenger who has mistakenly taken the baggage is directly responsible for any costs incurred by both passengers, without the involvement of the carrier. The relevant authority responsible for handling such cases is the police at the arrival airport.

17.1.4. Passenger who wishes to obtain information on the status of their delayed or lost baggage must contact the Animawings Customer Service department at claims@animawings.com. This communication must take place within 7 (seven) days from the registration of the Property Irregularity Report (PIR).

17.2 LIMITATION OF ACTIONS

In accordance with the relevant European Regulations, any claim for compensation / indemnity in accordance with the Travel Terms and Conditions must be submitted within 2 (two) years from the date of arrival of the aircraft or from the date on which the aircraft was to arrive. In this case, any legal action opened after the expiration of the term provided above, is considered prescribed.

17.3. TIME OF RECEIVING AND OF RESPONSE TO COMPLAINTS
