1 General Terms and Conditions and Cancellation Policy for the Service Webshop of Fraport AG 1. Premium Home-to-Gate Service from Fraport AG 1.1 Home-to-Gate Service Fraport AG offers air travelers departing from Frankfurt Airport a Home-to-Gate Service based on the descriptions and prices below. The service involves transporting customers to the airport and performing check-in for them and their luggage without the customers being present. It also involves escorting the customers through a separate security checkpoint, providing assistance for the passport check, and driving the customers across the apron to their departure gate in the terminal. 1.2 Scope of the Home-to-Gate Service The Home-to-Gate Service can be booked for up to four persons traveling on the same flight. In connection with that flight, it comprises the following service components: The customers indicated when booking online are picked up by a limousine at the address given in the order and driven straight to Frankfurt Airport. Pickup takes place at the address requested by the customer at the time indicated in the order confirmation. The address must be located in one of the postal districts for which the Home-to- Gate Service is offered and must be accessible by motor vehicle via a public road. A list of the postal districts for which pickup is available can be viewed on the Internet at or Depending on the number of travelers and bags, they are picked up by a vehicle of one of the following types: Mercedes S-Class Mercedes Viano (family van) VW Phaeton BMW 7 Series Each person may take up to two pieces of checked luggage plus carry-on items. Bulky luggage is only permitted up to these dimensions: 0.85 m long x 0.65 m wide x 0.45 m deep. The customer must report bulky luggage directly to the airline in advance.

2 1.2.3 After arrival at the airport, the customers bags are unloaded and moved by the Home-to-Gate Service employee, who also collects the documents required to perform check-in for the customers and their bags, walks with them to a café in the terminal, and gives each of them a voucher for a non-alcoholic beverage The Home-to-Gate Service employee takes care of check-in at the airline s counter. The customers then get their travel documents back along with their boarding passes. They are escorted through a separate security checkpoint, and if necessary the general passport check, then driven in a limousine to their flight s departure gate in the same terminal. The customers are responsible for boarding by themselves On request, customers are assisted in carrying out the steps required at Frankfurt Airport to obtain value-added tax refunds for items carried in their personal bags. In cases like this, the airline needs proof that the customs office has given permission for the items in the luggage to be exported. A tag is attached to each bag, which is presented to customs in the customer s presence. Once the customer has received the required customs stamp, the luggage is routed to the aircraft. Customers have the option of hiring a service company to submit the export documents stamped by customs, obtain the refund, and then pay the tax refund, minus a fee, to the customer in cash, by check, or by crediting the customer s credit card. If they elect to do so, they are escorted to a service company operating in the terminal from which the flight is departing and assisted there. Merchandise carried on board by hand must be reported to the customs office that is located after the passport check. There the customer receives a customs stamp and can then claim the value-added tax from the chosen local service company, minus a service fee Minors may only use the Home-to-Gate Service if they are accompanied by an adult. Child seats are available at no extra charge, but they must be requested when booking the service According to EC Regulation 1107/2006, passengers with reduced mobility are entitled to special assistance at no extra charge, which must be booked via the airline or tour operator. If wished, a person with reduced mobility can also receive that service in connection with the Home-to-Gate Service, with the scope agreed for such a service and against payment of the agreed fee, provided that they do not require any medical care, are not bed-ridden, and can use stairs without assistance, and that the fact of their reduced mobility was stated when booking the service. Since the limousines used are not equipped to carry wheelchairs, it is not possible to pick up persons requiring a wheelchair within the scope of the Home-to-Gate Service. 1.3 s for the Home-to-Gate Service The price of the Home-to-Gate Service depends on the distance to Frankfurt Airport from the pickup location chosen by the customer as shown in the following table.

Furthermore, customers may only offset claims that are uncontested or have been upheld by a court of law against claims of Fraport AG. 4.2 Fraport AG is fully liable for damages resulting from loss of life, bodily injury, or damage to health. It is fully liable for material and financial damages in cases of intent or gross negligence only. Beyond that, Fraport AG is only liable is it should violate one or more obligations which are prerequisites for properly fulfilling the contract and which customers may rightfully expect to be met, with the extent of liability being limited in such cases to damages that are reasonably foreseeable at the time of concluding the contract. This means that damages may not amount to more than 5000 euros. Liability under the German Product Liability Law remains unaffected by this and so does any liability imposed by legal requirements that the provider of a service assume responsibility even if it is not at fault.
