Liability of the Carrier

10  The provisions of the Athens Convention shall be incorporated into the contract between the Carrier and the passenger in respect of any carriage by sea which the Carrier has agreed to undertake and the said provisions shall apply to passengers and luggage throughout the periods of carriage set forth in Paragraph 8 of Article 1 of the said Convention. In so far as any passenger or luggage may before or after any such period be affected by or suffer any injury loss or damage by reason of any fault on the part of the Carrier its servants agents or independent contractors or on the part of any other person for whom the Carrier is or may be responsible the Carrier shall (provided it is lawful to do so) be entitled to rely upon Articles 5 to 16 inclusive of the said Convention notwithstanding that the relevant event occurred outside any such period as aforesaid.

11  The Athens Convention (amongst other provisions) limits the Carrier's liability for death of or personal injury to a passenger and or for loss of or damage to luggage (including a vehicle) to incidents which are due to the fault or neglect of the Carrier or of its servants or agents acting within the scope of their employment. The said Convention also makes special provision for valuables for which the Carrier accepts no responsibility save where such valuables have been deposited with the Carrier for the agreed purpose of safe keeping in which event the Carrier shall be liable in accordance with the terms of the said Convention. The said Convention also presumes that luggage has been delivered undamaged unless written notice has been given to the carrier (i) in the case of apparent damage before or at the time of disembarkation or re-delivery or (ii) in the case of damage which is not apparent or of loss within 15 days from the date of disembarkation or re-delivery or from the time when such re-delivery should have taken place. Any liability on the part of the Carrier shall be subject to all exemptions and exonerations from and limitations of liability provided by the said Convention and shall in particular be subject (in the case of damage to a vehicle or loss or damage or other luggage) to the deduction of the full amount permitted under Paragraph 4 of Article 8 thereof.

12  Subject always to any express provision elsewhere in these conditions and to any compulsory applicable statutory provision the Carrier shall not in any circumstances whatsoever be liable for any injury loss or damage of or to any passenger luggage or other property howsoever whensoever and wheresoever the same may have been caused and notwithstanding that such injury loss or damage may have been caused or contributed to by any fault on the part of the Carrier its servants agents or independent contractors or on the part of any other person from whom the Carrier is or may be responsible or by the seaworthiness of any vessel whether at the time of embarkation or sailing or at any other time whatsoever. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing the above provisions shall apply whether or not the passenger luggage or property was in or on any vessel means of transport place or premises within the control of or occupied by the Carrier and whether or not the luggage or property was in the charge of the Carrier its servants agents or independent contractors.

13  Nothing in these conditions shall be in any way construed as restricting or removing the right of the Carrier or of any other carrier or of the servants agents or independent contractors of either of them to any exemption from or limitation of liability accorded to shipowners or other persons by any statute or rule of law for the time being in force. Further the Carrier (if not the owner or demise charterer of a vessel performing any part of the carriage which the Carrier has agreed to undertake) shall have in respect of any passenger or luggage carried on such vessel the same rights of limitation of liability as are given to owners and demise charterers by any statute or rule of law in addition to the rights exemptions from and limitations of liability defenses and immunities conferred by these conditions.

Liability of servants agents and independent contractors

14  All rights exemptions from and limitations of liability defenses and immunities of whatsoever nature referred to in any of these conditions shall in all respects ensure also for the benefit of all servants agents and independent contractors of the Carrier while acting in the course of or in connection with their employment or other contract so that in no circumstances whatsoever shall any such servant agent or independent contractor while so acting be under any liability greater than or different from that of the Carrier. For the purposes of the foregoing the Carrier is or shall be deemed to be acting as agent or trustee on behalf of and for the benefit of all persons who have been are or may become its servants agents or independent contractors from time to time and all such persons shall to this extent be or be deemed to be parties to the contract of which these conditions form part. The performance or prospective performance by such persons of any duties or services in any way directly or indirectly related to or connected with any passenger or luggage and or his or its conveyance or means of conveyance shall be deemed to be good consideration moving from such persons to the passenger. The passenger undertakes and agrees with the Carrier that in no circumstances whatsoever will he sue such servants agents or independent contractors in respect of any fault on their part while acting in the course of or in connection with their employment or other contract as aforesaid.

Liability of the passenger

15  The passenger shall at all times comply with any lawful order given by or on behalf of any of the vessel's officers or by any other servant or agent of the Carrier.

16  The passenger undertakes that neither he nor his luggage (including any vehicle and any luggage to which Clause 38 of these conditions applies) nor any child or domestic animal accompanying him will cause any danger injury loss or damage of or to the Carrier or its property or any other person or property whatsoever. Further should any such danger injury loss or damage be so caused in circumstances which give rise to any claim against or any liability on the part of the Carrier its servants agents or independent contractors of any of them in respect thereof then the passenger shall indemnify them and each of them against all the consequences of any such claim and any such liability of whatsoever nature the same may be and to whomsoever incurred notwithstanding that such danger injury loss or damage may have been contributed to by some fault on the part of the Carrier its servants agents or independent contractors or by some un-seaworthiness of a vessel.

17  To the extent that the Carrier may be liable (whether by contract or at common law) to indemnify any other person in respect of such person's liability for any injury loss or damage of or to any passenger or luggage the passenger concerned shall reimburse to the Carrier any sums paid or payable by the Carrier by way of such indemnity but without prejudice to the Carrier's liability (if any) under these conditions to the passenger concerned.

18  In the event of the Carrier providing or obtaining medical assistance of any kind whatsoever for any passenger (which the Carrier shall in its sole discretion be entitled but not obliged to provide or obtain) the passenger shall reimburse to the Carrier upon demand the cost of such medical assistance.

Through carriage

19  In so far as any contract or booking relates or gives rise to carriage otherwise than on any vessel or other means of transport owned or operated by the Carrier (whether or not the cost thereof has been included in any fare or other sums paid to the Carrier) the Carrier undertakes only to arrange the same as agent for and on behalf of the passenger with the party or parties providing such carriage and the Carrier shall not be liable for such carriage. In particular and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing the Carrier shall not be liable for any injury loss or damage of or to any passenger or luggage arising directly or indirectly in relation to or as a result of such carriage howsoever whensoever and wheresoever the same may have been caused and whether or not caused or contributed to by any fault on the part of any party or parties in any way directly or indirectly engaged in providing such carriage nor shall the Carrier be liable for or bound by any statement description information warranty or representation of whatsoever nature made directly or indirectly by or on behalf of any such party or parties engaged in providing such carriage. The passenger hereby authorises the Carrier to contract as his agent with the party or parties providing such carriage on any terms and conditions currently used by such party or parties.

Cancellation or variation of the voyage

20  The Carrier does not undertake that vessels will start or arrive on or at the advertised or any particular date or time and all sailings and schedules are (notwithstanding any bookings previously made) subject to cancellation or variation without notice for any cause which the Carrier or the Master reasonably considers to be justified having regard to the prevailing circumstances. In the event of any sailing being cancelled no passenger shall be entitled to any compensation or payment whatsoever save that unless the Carrier and the passenger agree to alternative arrangements for the conveyance of the passenger in accordance with Clause 21 of these conditions the Carrier shall refund to the passenger any fare or other charges paid to the Carrier in respect of that sailing.

21  Notwithstanding that a booking may have been made for a particular vessel or route and or for a sailing on or at a particular date or time the Carrier reserves the right to offer to any passenger in substitution for such original booking alternative arrangements of a reasonably similar nature. If the passenger accepts such offer these conditions shall continue to apply as they did to the original booking save that if and in so far as such alternative arrangements involve or give rise to the provision of carriage by some person other than the Carrier the provisions of Clause 18 of these conditions shall apply and the Carrier shall act solely as the agent of the passenger to arrange such carriage and this shall be the case whether or not the passenger is issued with a fresh ticket. Further if the passenger accepts such offer the Carrier shall refund to the passenger the amounts (if any) by which any fare or other charges paid in respect of the original booking exceed those applicable to such alternative arrangements. If the passenger rejects such offer the Carrier shall refund to the passenger any fare or other charges paid to the Carrier in respect of any unperformed part or parts of the carriage or other services the subject matter of the original booking which the Carrier has agreed to undertake. Whether the passenger accepts or rejects such offer the Carrier shall save as aforesaid be under no further liability in respect of the original booking. Passengers will not be entitled to a refund of the difference in fare if they are moved from the Swift to the Cruise ferry due to adverse weather conditions.

22  The Carrier or the Master may (notwithstanding any booking previously made) refuse to carry any passenger or luggage on any sailing for any cause relating to the safety of the vessel or any property on board the vessel or to the safety comfort or convenience of any other passenger or any servant agent or independent contractor of the Carrier directly or indirectly involved with the carriage in question. In such circumstances the passenger shall not be entitled to any compensation or payment whatsoever save that the Carrier shall refund to the passenger any fare or other charges paid to the Carrier in respect of that sailing.

23  The Carrier and the vessel shall have liberty to carry the luggage or any part thereof on deck or in or on any other part of the vessel to sail with or without the full complement of passengers and luggage booked to sail with or without a pilot to make trial trips to adjust compasses to carry goods or any kind whatsoever dangerous or otherwise to dry dock with or without the luggage or any part thereof on board to tow and assist vessels or be towed in all situations and to proceed on one or more occasions to or from and use any port or ports in any order or rotation for any purpose whatsoever whether in or out of or short of or beyond the route between the termini for the carriage of any passenger or luggage or the customary or advertised route provided that the said liberty shall at all times be exercised reasonably having regard to the prevailing circumstances.

24  The Carrier and the vessel shall have liberty for any purpose to carry any passenger or luggage to any port beyond the port of destination notwithstanding that the vessel may have called at such port of destination and/or discharged other passengers or luggage there to carry any passenger or luggage back to the port of destination or to the port of embarkation to tranship any passenger or luggage into (or in the case of luggage onto the deck of) any vessel to land any passenger or luggage to store luggage at any port or place and to forward any passenger or luggage to the port of destination by any route in or on any vessel or other means of transport (to whomsoever belonging) provided that the said liberty shall at all times be exercised reasonably having regard to the prevailing circumstances. None of the foregoing shall entitle any passenger to any payment or compensation whatsoever whether by way of refund of any fare or other charges paid to the Carrier or otherwise.

25  If from any cause whatsoever the carriage of any passenger or luggage to the port of destination in the vessel on which the passenger has embarked or the luggage has been loaded or the disembarkation or unloading of any passenger or luggage from such vessel is prevented or hindered for an unreasonable time or is (in the opinion of the Carrier or the Master) likely to be so prevented or hindered or if the continuation of the voyage to the port of destination is (in the opinion of the Carrier or the Master) likely to expose the vessel or her crew or any passenger or luggage to any danger whatsoever the Carrier may at any time cancel the contract and abandon the voyage and thereupon the contract shall be deemed to have been frustrated in law and the passenger shall not be entitled to any payment or compensation whatsoever whether by way of refund of any fare or other charges paid to the Carrier or otherwise.

26  Without prejudice to the generality of any other provision of these conditions the Carrier and the vessel shall have liberty to comply with any other directions or advises as to departure arrival routes ports of loading call or discharge stoppages transhipment discharge or destination or otherwise howsoever given by any Government or any department thereof or by any person acting or purporting to act with the authority of any Government or any department thereof or by any Committee or person having under the terms of the war risks insurance on the vessel the right to give such orders directions or advices. The vessel shall have liberty to carry contraband explosives munitions and warlike stores and to sail armed or unarmed.

27  The exercise in accordance with these conditions of any liberty or other right provided herein shall not constitute a deviation or a breach of contract as between the Carrier and the passenger but shall form part of and be within the scope of the contract voyage. Any passenger or luggage affected by the exercise of any such liberty or other right shall at all times remain subject to these conditions.

Tickets and fares

28  The Carrier is a ticketless operator.
