By booking and purchasing Air Transport services through the Web Site, the Passenger (or another user of the online booking system) will receive a confirmation e-mail including the booking number and the contacts for after-sales assistance.
The issuing of Tickets by Sky Alps is subject to successful payment and confirmation of the availability of the Air Transport services.
The Ticket constitutes proof of the air transport contract entered into between Sky Alps and the Passenger. Sky Alps will provide the Air Transport services exclusively to the Passenger indicated in the relevant Ticket. The Ticket is personal and cannot be transferred to others. All Passengers must identify themselves at the check-in and boarding counters with an appropriate valid ID document. Sky Alps reserves the right not to carry Passengers who do not provide appropriate identification. 
3.1.    Cancellation or modification of booking: the procedures for cancelling or amending the booked Air Transport services, if allowed, are determined by the specific fare policies relating to that Air Transport service. Hence, cancelling or changing a flight booking may not be permitted, or may require specific procedures to be followed. In this respect, the Passenger shall read all the fare rules and provisions that apply to his or her booking. In the event that the Passenger requests any amendments (cancellation or modification of booking), Sky Alps will charge a service fee to cover the costs incurred. Air Transports with the “Free date change” tag are exempt from the service fee. For more information please visit www.skyalps.com/en/plan-your-trip/change-of-booking.
3.2.    Booking Fare: After selecting all the specific services required, the total booking Fare is displayed. Such Fare includes the price for all the services selected as well as any fee for the booking management. Please note that any fee paid by the Passenger for insurance contracts is also non-refundable. 
The Fare includes all taxes, fees and charges imposed by public authorities and airport authorities with regard to Air Transport services. The Passenger will be informed about taxes, fees and charges that are not included in the Fare upon booking. Taxes, fees and charges imposed on transportation may vary prior to the Air Transport. Hence, the difference in Fare may be charged to the Passenger in addition to the Fare after the Ticket has been purchased. 
Management fees depend on the specific booking service required by the Passenger. Fees for bookings made by telephone through our call center service are charged differently than fees for online bookings made through the Web Site. After the booking has been made, Sky Alps reserves the right to charge additional service fees in the event of booking cancellation or amendments, and in the event of refund claims. Furthermore, please note that, due to the type of Air Transport services, Sky Alps may apply price changes during the time between the booking request and the payment. Therefore, final confirmation of Air Transport availability and cost can only be given upon payment. Sky Alps shall not be liable for any price increase resulting from non-immediate payment. The Passenger must settle any increase in price before the booking can be confirmed. 
3.3.    Payment: Bookings can be paid by all major credit and debit cards, as specified on this Web Site. Other methods of payment are not accepted, and Sky Alps declines any liability for cash or cheques sent by mail. Please note that your credit or debit card will be charged immediately upon booking.
For greater security, the Passenger will be asked to enter all his or her card information for every single purchase made through Sky Alps. All information is encrypted on Sky Alps’ secure server. In providing his or her credit card information, the Passenger authorizes Sky Alps to use such information, even after the booking request has been made, for the following purposes: 
(i)    for the payment of the flight services requested and the relevant agency fees; 
(ii)    for the payment of the insurance policy, if any;
(iii)    for the processing of refunds, if any;
(iv)    for the payment of agency fees due for any post-brokerage services requested by the Passenger. 
If the Passenger’s booking is paid by credit card belonging to a third party, Sky Alps reserves the right to request written authorization from the cardholder. All e-mail addresses provided must be correct and valid at the time of booking. 
For the purpose of credit card fraud prevention, Sky Alps reserves the right to carry out spot checks and to request proof of address and/or a copy of the Passenger’s credit card before issuing any Ticket. Please note that such checks are only carried out during the Sky Alps’ office hours. Therefore, the Tickets for bookings made outside such hours cannot be issued until the following working day. Sky Alps is not liable for any expenses incurred as a result of credit card checks.
3.4.    Refunds: Any request for refunds of the Tickets, unless purchased from another authorized agent (such as appointed OTAs), must be made directly to Sky Alps by sending a mail to claim@skyalps.com. Any refunds will be made by the same method of payment used upon booking, and in the name of the person who made the original payment. Any request for refunds shall be related to a booking already accepted and paid. Refunds are made in accordance with these GTC-AC, GTC-ATT and with the Fare policies relating to such Air Transport service unless purchased from third-party SkyAlps authorized travel agents including Online Travel Agencies (OTA) using GDS standard inventory.
Sky Alps may charge a fee for the processing of the refund claim. Such fees may vary on a case-by-case basis depending on the amount refundable. The Passenger authorizes Sky Alps to charge any fees due for the processing of the refund claim. 
In cases of non-refundable Ticket Fares, it is still possible to request a refund of government taxes and fees paid upon purchase.  
3.5.    Electronic Tickets: All Tickets purchased through the Web Site are issued in electronic format. E-ticketing is a paper-free way to book flights. All bookings are stored on the GDS online booking system. Sky Alps will send the Passenger a confirmation e-mail including the booking number. In some cases, a preliminary confirmation e-mail may be sent, indicating that the final booking confirmation will be sent in a second e-mail along with the electronic Ticket. 
Please note that producing the booking number and/or confirmation e-mail to Sky Alps may be required as proof of booking. It is therefore advisable to bring a printout of the confirmation e-mail/E-ticket.  
The Passenger shall check his/her e-mail account in order to verify to have received the confirmation documents and any other relevant communication. If the Passenger does not receive said communication/documentation, he/she has to inform Sky Alps promptly. 
Sky Alps provides its services based on the information provided by the Passenger and therefore cannot be held liable in the event the E-ticket does not reach the Passenger due to an incorrect e-mail address being provided or as a result of the Passenger’s spam filter settings. Furthermore, Sky Alps cannot be held liable in the event that the Passenger enters incorrect data (e.g. by mistyping names, inverting names and surnames, choosing the wrong dates etc.). In the event of a change in the Passenger’s e-mail address or phone number, the Passenger shall inform Sky Alps promptly. Additionally, it is recommended that the Passenger verifies that the name on the passport matches the name on the Ticket and/or booking confirmation.

Sky Alps shall not be held liable for the above damages to the extent that they exceed for each Passenger 128,821 SDR if Sky Alps proves that such damage was not due to Sky Alps’ (comprising its servants or agents) negligence or wrongful act or omission.
In the case of a Passenger’s injury or death, Sky Alps shall refund advance payments for covering immediate needs without delay and not later than 15 (fifteen) days after the identification of the person who has right to compensation. In case of death, the advance payment shall not be less than 16,000 SDR. Such advance payments shall not constitute a recognition of liability and may be offset against any amounts subsequently paid as damages by Sky Alps. 
Sky Alps is covered by insurance for Passenger’s injury/death within the limits of Applicable Law.
12.2.    Liability for Baggage damaged, lost or late delivery: Each Passenger is personally liable for his/her own Unchecked Baggage. Sky Alps cannot be held liable for lost/late delivered/damaged Unchecked Baggage. 
In the event of delayed delivery, destruction, loss or damage to Checked Baggage, the Applicable Law shall apply, in particular the Montreal Convention of 1999, as subsequently amended by Italian and European regulations and as detailed below. 
Sky Alps is liable up to 1,288 SDR per Passenger.
Checked Baggage delivered more than 21 (twenty-one) days late is considered lost in accordance with Applicable Law.
Sky Alps shall be liable only for the damage, direct and proved, resulting from the delay in carriage of Checked Baggage, damage to or loss of the Checked Baggage, unless it proves that it took all possible and appropriate measures in accordance with normal diligence to avoid the damage or that it was impossible to take such measures.
Sky Alps’ liability will be reduced/excluded if the Passenger through his/her own fault caused or contributed to the damage or has not taken any reasonable action to minimize or avoid such damage. 
Sky Alps is in no case liable for any damage that is a consequence of the compliance with the Applicable Law or of an order from the Public Authority, in the event that the Passenger refuses to comply with the due behaviour. All Passengers are personally liable for any damage inflicted during the Air Transport to other Passengers or another person’s property, including the Sky Alps’ and the crew’s property. Sky Alps is under no circumstances liable for loss, damage, delay in delivery in the event of transport of prohibited items, in accordance with section 9.4. 
12.2.1.    Replacement Purchases: In the event that a Passenger, due to a delay in the delivery of his/her Checked Baggage, had to make replacement purchases, Sky Alps shall contribute a maximum of 75 euros (regardless of ticket category) to the necessary expenses for personal hygiene products and a change of essential clothing (e.g. toothbrush, toothpaste, underwear). Passengers are obliged to limit damage by keeping expenses as low as possible. Sky Alps' contribution shall be paid upon presentation of proof of the expenses incurred. Passengers shall keep receipts for their purchases and refer to claim@skyalps.com. Only documented purchases will be reimbursed within the limits.
12.2.2.    Damages to the Checked Baggage: Sky Alps is not liable for normal wear and tear of the Checked Baggage (e.g. scratches, stains, dents, damage to protruding or removable parts), even if such wear and tear is caused by the transfer of the Baggage, nor for damage that existed prior to the Baggage being transported or that was caused by the inherent defect, quality or vice of the Baggage (e.g. in the case of overfilled baggage and fragile or valuable items that were not packed properly). Sky Alps is not liable for damages to the Baggage’s content. 
12.2.3.    Declaration of special interest: Each Passenger may benefit from a higher liability limit by making a special declaration at the latest when checking in Checked Baggage and paying a supplementary fee. In this case, the Checked Baggage shall be properly locked (with a key lock or combination) and Sky Alps shall verify the contents of the Checked Baggage, reserving the right to prove, in the event of a claim, that the declared amount is higher than the Passenger's actual interest. 
Under no circumstances shall Sky Alps be held liable for items of particularly significant value or that cannot be readily replaced in the event of damage/loss (such as, for example, money, securities, jewellery, precious materials, watches, works of art, electronic devices, medical devices, keys, personal, business and/or work documents), which must be kept directly by the passenger for the entire duration of the Air Transport.

12.2.4.    Checked Baggage claims: Any claim concerning the Baggage shall be submitted by the Passenger to Sky Alps in written form. The unreserved receipt of Checked Baggage by the Passenger constitutes, unless proven otherwise, a presumption that the Baggage is free of any damage.

In the case of delay, the complaint must be made within 21 (twenty-one) days from the date on which the Baggage was made available.
