| Limitation of Liability |
The liability, if any, of Carrier for loss of, damage to, or delay in the delivery of checked or unchecked baggage or its contents, is limited to the proven amount of damage or loss, but in no event shall be greater than a maximum liability amount (see Carrier for details) per fare paying passenger, unless the passenger at time of check-in has declared a higher valuation and paid an additional charge per one hundred of excess valuation.
Carrier's liability with respect to mobility aids and assistive devices checked and carried by Carrier will be limited to, but no greater than a maximum liability amount (see Carrier for details) per fare-paying passenger.
Carrier will compensate the passenger for all reasonable, documented direct and consequential damages incurred as a result of the loss, damage or delayed delivery of such baggage up to the limit of liability or declared valuation, whichever is higher, provided the passenger has exercised reasonable effort to minimize the amount of damage. Actual value for reimbursement of lost or damaged property shall be determined by the documented original purchase price less any applicable depreciation for prior usage.
Carrier will be liable for such personal property only for the period in which it is in the custody of Carrier. Carrier will assume no liability or responsibility for property carried onboard an aircraft by a passenger and retained in the custody of the passenger.
When excess value is declared, baggage will be checked and excess valuation charges collected only to point of stopover or to destination.
The declared value of personal property, including baggage, shall not exceed a maximum liability amount (see Carrier for details). Excess valuation will not apply to money, jewelry, cameras, video and electronic equipment (including computers), silverware, negotiable papers, securities, business documents, samples, items intended for sale, paintings, antiques, artifacts, manuscripts, furs, irreplaceable books or publications and similar valuables.
While every reasonable effort will be made to return items inadvertently left behind by passengers, Carrier assumes no liability for property carried onboard the aircraft by the passenger.
Carrier will not be responsible for money, jewelry, cameras, video and electronic equipment (including computers), silverware, negotiable papers, securities, business documents, samples, items intended for sale, paintings, antiques, artifacts, manuscripts, furs, irreplaceable books, or publications and similar valuables contained in checked or unchecked baggage.
Buy "excess valuation" from the airline if your property is worth more than the airline's liability limit (Check with the airline).
Your chances of recovery can be improved depending on where and how you bought your airline ticket. Some credit card companies and travel agencies offer optional baggage and/or travel insurance; some others provide it automatically.
