The Contractor shall only accept the provision of the Services by signing this License. The Contractor’s provisioning of the Services shall indicate its acceptance to provide the Services.
In consideration of the representations, warranties, mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this License, the Parties agree as follows:
TABLE OF CONTENTS
TERMS
(1) Description of the Services
(1.1.) By signing this License, The Contractor will provide to the API Client a flight check-in service (“Automated Check-in”), which shall allow the API Client to offer to their end user(s) the option of being checked in on booked flights with almost no further end user action required and to deliver all required boarding passes (hereinafter, the “Services”).
(1.2.) The automated check-in can be broken down into the following phases:
(1.2.a.) Upon end user(s) completion of the flight booking, either through the API Client’s self-owned interface(s), webpage(s), mobile application(s) and/or merchant(s) (hereinafter “API Client Systems”) or through a third party flight booking provider, the end user(s) receives the offering to be automatically checked into the regarding flight.
(1.2.b.) The API Client submits a request to perform the check-in (hereinafter “Check-in request” to the Contractor through the provided communication interface (eg. API);
(1.2.c.) Prior to check-in, end user(s) shall have the chance to change certain preferences (e.g. preferred seats, boarding pass formats, etc.). The Service shall be performed either way the end user(s) changes flight preferences or not;
(1.2.d.) The Contractor performs the flight check-in;
(1.2.e.) The Contractor provides access via an URL to download or delivers the boarding pass to the API Client or to the end user(s) via typical messaging methods (eg. email, mobile notifications or SMS) hereinafter “Message”.
(1.3.) Prior to offering the Services to the end user(s), the API Client shall verify the availability of the Automated Check-in with the end user(s) itinerary and airline. Such verification may be accomplished through an Application Program Interface (hereinafter “API”) call to the Contractor’s servers.
(1.4.) Once the availability of the Automated Check-in service is successfully verified and granted, a check-in request shall be sent to the Contractor by:
(1.4.a.) An API call from the API Client to the Contractor’s servers. The API will respond with a check-in request ID that can be used by the API Client for further reference; so called “API Client sided request”.
(1.4.b.) By sending to the end user(s) a message containing a button (which may be titled “Activate now”) in order to activate the Automated Check-in. This button shall include a link to a “deep URL” containing the passenger information and the booked flight; so called “End user sided request”.
(1.5.) For the proper performance of the Services by the Contractor, the gathering of the certain data is necessary:
Table 1: required data for flight check-in
The latest valid set of required data is specified in the according Application Programming Interface.
On certain routes and/or airlines exceptions may apply which shall be documented in a “Service Implementation” documentation that shall outline the requirements and case-to-case details for the provision of the Automated Check-in service.
(1.6.) When any of the data needed by the Contractor is not gathered by the API Client during or post flight booking, the Contractor can through its iFrame, which is a frame that allows a visual HTML Browser window to be split into segments, each of which can show a different document, being dynamically displayed to the end user(s), gather the missing data information required for the provision of the Services. If such gathering shall be performed by the Contractor depends on the implementation scheme agreed with the API Client.
(1.7.) Once the Contractor has been provided with all needed data and at the earliest opportunity prior to departure, the Contractor will process the check-in request and deliver the end user(s)’s boarding pass. Such boarding pass will be alternatively send:
(1.7.a.) Directly through a message to the end user(s);
(1.7.b.) In a message to the API Client with sufficient metadata to be forwarded to the end user(s); or
(1.7.c.) As an HTTP POST message that the API Client can process in whichever way the API Client desires.
All email messages will be formatted in HTML and, subject to any agreed Customization in the relevant annex, customized to be consistent with layout requirements (eg. branding) of the API Client. Limitations of such customizations may apply in order to grant certain performance levels when providing the service.
(1.8.) For further comprehension of the Services, the flow of events will be as indicated below:
Diagram 1: Flow of events
This flow of events shall serve as a basis of understanding of possible events and its typical order, but not represent a precise and binding order in which events have to occur as the Automated Check-in service may be offered prior to flight booking. However, logical constraints such as the delivery of the boarding pass post-check-in apply.
(1.9.) When the API Client intends to offer the Contractor’s Services to other third parties so that they can offer the Contractor’s Services to their end user(s), the API Client shall mandatory request the Contractor prior written authorization and the API Client shall demand this other third party the same terms and conditions and agreed among the Contractor and the API Client.

The Contractor is not responsible for the configuration of, or internal equipment for, the API Client’s interface(s) that may be necessary to the successful provision of the Services, and therefore, the Contractor shall not be responsible for any underperformance or malfunction of the Services caused by the API Client’s unfitness of its interface(s). In this sense, the Parties shall collaborate in good faith, so that the provision of the Services reaches the desirable performance.
(2.4.) In addition to the aforementioned, the API Client understands and agrees that the performance of the Services may be dependent on API Client’s timely and effective performance of its responsibilities. The API Client agrees to undertake its responsibilities described in this License. Tasks that are primarily the responsibility of the API Client’s personnel will remain the API Client’s responsibility, even if the Contractor assists the API Client in performing such tasks.
(2.5.) The accuracy of the content of messages sent out to end user(s) are essential to the successful provision of the service towards end user(s) and shall create no confusion at all. Therefore all messages shall reflect the actual flight associated with each end user(s) being flight numbers and airline. Whenever such messages are sent out to end user(s), these messages shall be provided with no variation to the agreed content which shall be approved prior in written between both parties; foreseen through the documentation of the “Service Implementation”.
(2.6.) For as long as the Contractor provides the Services to the API Client, and unless otherwise agreed, the API Client shall remain proprietary of the end user(s) data and shall be granted access to such data by the Contractor.

(5.1.h.) The API Client will obtain, at its own expense, all rights necessary from any third party needed for the proper performance of the Services by the Contractor.
(6) Help / Exception Handling / Smart Dynamic Whitelist Service
(6.1.) For the case that any foreseeable or unforeseeable exception of the provision of the services results in a check-in not being able to be processed successfully in the manner to issue and/or deliver a boarding pass for the end user, the the Contractor platform delivers a Message to the end user(s) or the API Client (according to agreed Service Implementation) with the corrective action, in most of such cases being “perform check-in at airport”.
(6.2.) Foreseeable exceptions
(6.2.a.) There are numerous foreseeable exceptions all being documented on a periodical basis in a separate technical document called “Automated Check-in API Specification” under section “Error Codes” which on request is provided to engineers of the API Client for setup, integration and maintenance of the Automated Check-in service.
(6.2.b.) A very common exception is a flight that has been changed post submission of a check-in request of the API Client to the Contractor, for which if the Partner has no knowledge of any of these changes, the Contractor - not being the booking merchant - has although given technical possibility on constant PNRs, no consultation rights of those booking changes none withstanding technical integrations to travel or booking distribution systems, airlines, or airports. However, if the API Client has knowledge of those changes, the API Client shall submit those changes to the Contractor through the integrated interface (eg. API) indicating the regarding check-in request ID provided when requesting a check-in. The Contractor then updates the internal queue of pending check-ins regarding the impacted records (eg. on multi-passenger booking PNRs).
(6.3.) Unforeseeable exceptions
(6.3.a.) Unforeseeable issues arising from service provision will be, once sorted out and accordingly agreed with the API Client, annexed to this agreement if considered necessary by one of both parties. If issues are of technical of technical nature they shall become part of the relevant technical documentation.
(6.3.b.) In general, all unforeseeable technical or regulatory exceptions in direct relation with the provision of the service shall be within the comprehension of the Automated Check-in being a service that is (a) required to dynamically updating its integration layers and processing infrastructure components, and (b) provided between a constantly changing technological and regulatory environment. These changes require constant and unpredictable pace of maintenance of the service performing platform. Based on this understanding, both parties sort out performance issues due to unpredictable changes on a good faith and efforts basis and on a partner basis.
(6.3.c.) The technical solution the Contractor provides in order to limit unforeseeable exceptions arising from the provision of the service is a feature the Contractor calls “Smart Dynamic Whitelist” (hereinafter “SDW Service”) which provides the availability of given routes for the Automated Check-in service as described under 1.3 of “1. Description of the Service”.
This dynamic and smart character of the SDW Service, beyond the provision of availability of a given route, limits exceptions through an additional functionality in regards to routes becoming unavailable post check-in request, meaning (1) for end users to which the Automated Check-in service has been offered, for which later on when the time of processing the check-in arrives, and at this moment the check-in becoming unavailable for not just the first check-in opening route, but all end users who have a check-in pending on this route, in the following way:
When first time requesting a given route, the whitelist replies with “route available”, but then always replies “unavailable” until the actual check-in has been completed. Once a check-in has been completed successfully, the Contractor re-enables the given route within the whitelist.
The Contractor calls this procedure “Service Calibration” and may be undertaken on a periodical basis and be understood as a predictable scheduled Downtime for maintenance and quality assurance purposes. However this Service Calibration shall not be considered against the calculation of the availability percentage target of the platform or service. The API Client shall not be entitled to receive any compensation for such “service calibrations” meaning certain unavailability of the service. The Contractor compromises on scheduling such Service Calibration on basis of an artificial intelligence algorithm incorporated into the SDW Service intending a machine based distribution of calibration for a maximized stability of the service coverage across all supported routes.
(7) Availability / Maintenance / Troubleshooting / Support
The here listed terms apply for the Services rendered through the Platform, except for professional services (eg. consulting), that may be provided as well by the Contractor to the API Client:
(7.1.) Maintenance activities: In order to maintain and improve the functionality, performance and reliability of the Platform and the Services provided, it will be necessary to perform regularly recurring maintenance activities as well as needed emergency maintenance. While the majority of maintenance activities do not impact availability or otherwise affect the Platform or the provided Services, it will be necessary, on occasion as part of either regular recurring maintenance activity or an as-needed emergency maintenance, to conduct a predictable scheduled, Downtime. All scheduled maintenance shall be notified in advance to the API Client and the Contractor shall use best efforts to schedule same from Monday to Friday between 12a.m - 6 a.m. EST, not more than 2 hours a week.
(7.1.a.) A predictable scheduled downtime shall be a pre-planned period during which the availability, functionality or performance of the platform or the Contractor’s services may be impacted or affected, for which the API Client has been given prior notification. When predictable scheduled maintenance to the Platform is required, this will be announced by the Contractor with a notice period of three working days. The maintenance shall be carried out by the Contractor in such a way to minimize adverse effects to API Client. Further, such predictable scheduled Downtime is limited to 3 hours/month. A predictable scheduled Downtime will be conducted during times when the Services are not in high demand, whenever possible. Predictable scheduled maintenance downtimes shall not be considered against the calculation of the availability percentage target of the Platform or Service. The API Client shall not be entitled to receive any compensation for such interruptions.
(7.1.b.) If any unexpected maintenance to the Platform is necessary to maintain system functionality and initiated by the Contractor, then the Contractor shall inform the API Client immediately, and with as much advance notice as possible, indicating the start and end time then foreseeable, especially if such maintenance requires a scheduled Downtime. If unexpected maintenance or error solving measures are necessary for reasons originating solely from the API Client, this downtime will not be considered in the calculation of the availability percentage and the API Client shall not be entitled to receive any compensation for such interruptions.
(7.1.c.) Maintenance Notifications: The Contractor will notify the API Client of the described maintenance events and potential Scheduled Downtime via e-mail to the e-mail address(es) specified in the relevant Terms of Service, or to other email address(es) indicated by the API Client to such effect).
(7.2.) Support: The Contractor provides a support service (the “Support Desk”) which is the single point of initial contact for the API Client to open a troubleshooting case with or obtain support information for the Services. Support Desk is available from 8 AM to 8 PM C.E.T., Monday to Friday, excluding Spanish public holidays (respectively “Business Hours” and “Business Days”). The Contractor shall provide maintenance and support services regarding the provided Services in accordance with API Client’s instructions. The Contractor shall solve demands between 24 hours and 72 hours, not being subject to any warranty.
(7.3.) The contractor shall provide the Service at the agreed Service Level as agreed in the Terms of Service.
