Each Travel Service Provider is responsible for ensuring the compliance of these Articles by all its employees, representatives, affiliates, agencies and contractors, regardless of location, including any future updates and amendments thereto. In addition, each Travel Service Provider acknowledges and agrees that, as between the Travel Service Provider and Jet, Jet owns, controls and retains all right, title and interest in and to its Content and all copyright, data and other intellectual property rights relating thereto. 4.2. Prohibition of New Online Distribution Effective 30 April 2018, no new online distribution of Jet Content is permitted by any Travel Service Provider without the express written permission of Jet. Any violation of this policy may result in suspension of Content access and loss of Jet s accreditation and plating capabilities of the violating Travel Service Provider, until such Travel Service Provider becomes compliant with these Articles. Nevertheless, prior to confirming any disciplinary action against any Travel Service Provider, the pattern of functioning will be closely monitored and irregularities, if any, viz-a-viz the Articles of this document will be brought to his attention with a view to extend an opportunity to cure such defects considered contradictory to these Articles. 6

Jet prohibits, and Travel Service Provider is liable for, any Prohibited Practice that circumvents the applicable Fare Rules. Travel Service Provider must issue a valid ticket or cancel the PNR within the applicable Ticket Time Limit. Jet reserves the right to use an automatic program to cancel segments when ticketing has not occurred within the applicable Ticket Time Limit, however, the Travel Service Provider is responsible for adhering to Ticket Time Limits.

Where taxes, airport charges, and other charges and fees are charged by Jet, these are to be applied unchanged. All Jet products and services, including fares, shall clearly indicate or provide a valid hyperlink for the applicable terms and conditions stipulated by Jet from time to time. 4.4. Convenience Fees and Merchant Expense To the extent a Travel Service Provider charges the guest a Convenience Fee for the issuance of any Jet Airways tickets, the Travel Service Provider must charge the ticket using the Travel Service Provider s merchant account. Any merchant expense passed through to Jet in such circumstances will be debited back to the Travel Service Provider for the full amount of the merchant expense plus an administrative fee of USD $50 per ADM. 4.5. GDS Booking Policy To improve the accuracy and availability of inventory, Jet has previously established clear and uniform guidelines for reserving, booking and ticketing itineraries using a GDS. It is important that all Travel Service Providers using a GDS adhere to these policies to prevent revenue leakage to Jet s inventory and avoid violations of reservations, fare and ticketing guidelines. Jet reserves the right to audit all booking transactions to identify non-compliant booking practices. 7
