Surf may from time to time offer new routes and other services or benefits, all of which are subject to change, suspension or termination at any time and also are subject to additional fees or charges. Grandfathered membership programs (and the associated fee rates), if any, are subject to change per the terms of the Agreement and do not include access to new services or benefits that may be offered after the initial date of purchase of membership.
At its sole discretion, Surf may offer certain Members trial or other promotional Memberships with different features, which are subject to the terms of this Agreement, except as otherwise stated in the promotional offer. Promotional Membership is valid only for the period specified in the promotional offer. If no period is specified, Surf may terminate promotional Memberships at any time in its sole discretion.
As one of the benefits of the Program, Surf agrees to arrange transportation services for Member to be provided by third party aircraft operators holding an Air Carrier Certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (each, an “Operator”) authorizing them to furnish air transportation services pursuant to Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 C.F.R. Part 135 (“FAR Part 135”)). Member understands that Surf is not an aircraft operator and arranges air travel and other services solely as a manager of the Program. For clarification purposes,?“Private Aircraft Charter”,?“Aircraft Charter”,?“Private Charter”,?and “Charter” refers to accessing, using, booking, arranging, or chartering an aircraft.?

All flights arranged under this Agreement are operated by an Operator, who shall have exclusive direction, control and authority over initiating, conducting or terminating flights (“Operational Control”).? Surf is not a FAR Part 135 air carrier and does not provide air carrier services. An Operator performing the flight will be subject to, but not limited to: flight time and duty time restrictions and airport limitations that may preclude or limit operations to certain airports and other applicable regulations and requirements. Member understands and agrees that an Operator shall have absolute discretion in all matters relating to the operation of the aircraft, including, and without limitation: the preparation of the aircraft for flight and the flight itself, the timing of the flight, the load carried and its distribution, the decision whether or not a flight is to be performed, the route to be flown, etc.? Member expressly agrees that an Operator shall have final and complete authority to cancel any flight for any reason or condition that in its sole and absolute judgment could affect the safety of flight and may take any other action that, in its opinion, is necessitated by considerations of safety.

In addition,?an Operator shall have the right to refuse boarding to any person:?(a) who appears to be intoxicated or under the influence of any illicit or controlled substance drug; (b) who refuses to be subject to any reasonable checks of his or her person or baggage by an Operator, or by government or airport authorities; (c) whose condition, including apparent illness or incapacity, in the sole judgment of an Operator would involve hazard or risk to himself, herself or others; (d) who fails to provide proper identification in compliance with applicable laws; or (e) who is conducting himself or herself in a manner inconsistent with, or otherwise in breach of, the terms of the Agreement. Please see the applicable Operator’s Contract of Carriage for additional terms and conditions imposed by the Operator for flights arranged under this Agreement by Surf.
Each Member, and any associated Listed Member or Guest, authorizes Surf to arrange flights to be operated an Operator. All such flights are subject to the Contract of Carriage, and each Member, Listed Member and Guest agrees that each flight taken pursuant to the Membership is expressly subject to the Contract of Carriage.?

(5) Cancellations and Changes – Members and Listed Members are permitted to change or cancel flights at any time, subject to this Agreement. For Reservation or Flight Pass cancellations on flights that are full at the time of such cancellation and if a Member or Listed Member cancels within twenty-four (24) hours of the scheduled departure time, the Member or Listed Member will lose the use of a Reservation for a 14-day period of time; provided, however, that such penalty does not apply to delayed flights, and Members and Listed Members retain the ability to change to an available earlier or later departure on the same day, on the same route without penalty.
An Operator will attempt to transport passengers and their baggage promptly and as scheduled. Flight schedules, however, are subject to change without notice and the schedules and Reservations/Flight Passes are not guaranteed. Surf will use its reasonable best efforts to promptly notify all affected passengers, using the contact information provided by each passenger, of planned or unplanned schedule changes and cancellations including, but not limited to, those due to weather. At times, without prior notice to passengers, an Operator may need to substitute other aircraft or air carriers and may change, add, or omit intermediate or connecting stops. Surf cannot guarantee that passengers will make connections to other Operator flights, or those of other air carriers. In the event that a flight is cancelled by Surf or an Operator due to circumstances entirely within the control of Surf or an Operator (i.e., insufficient pilot staffing or maintenance), then Surf shall reimburse or credit the Member for documented costs for a commercial flight or other substitute means of transportation taken by the Member due to the cancelled Surf flight, or if the Member decides to stay overnight and take a flight the next day, documented costs for a hotel stay (all of the foregoing subject to the reimbursement limitations set forth in the following sentence).? Documented costs eligible for reimbursement under the preceding sentence shall be limited as follows: up to $300 for travel between SF Bay Area and LA area; up to $400 for travel between San Diego and SF Bay Area; up to $500 for travel between Santa Barbara and SF Bay Area; and up to $400 for one night hotel stay, if the Member opts to stay overnight versus taking alternate travel.

Surf will refuse to honor any Reservation or Flight Pass when such action is reasonably deemed to be necessary to comply with applicable governmental regulations or requests.
(7) Responsibility for Listed Members and Guests; Unaccompanied Minors – Members will ensure that their Listed Members (as applicable) and/or any guests that may accompany a Member through the use of a Guest Flight (as defined below) (“Guest(s)”) comply with the Member’s obligations under the Agreement. Members will be responsible for any charges incurred by Listed Members and Guests, including Third Party Fees, as defined below. Any Guest Flights purchased by a Member may also be used for travel by that Member or any of its Listed Members. Members agree to reimburse Surf for any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred as a result of damage to the aircraft interior and/or exterior or any terminal or FBO locations which are caused by carelessness or neglect by Members, Listed Members or their Guests.

(8) Identification and Travel Documentation – In accordance with the United States Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) regulations and additional government regulations Members and Guests are required to comply with all TSA regulations, and will be required to present valid identification prior to departure for all flights. An Operator has the right to refuse boarding to any person without the required documentation or as a result of non-compliance with TSA or other government regulations without recourse or further obligation on behalf of an Operator or Surf.
(9) Conduct – Surf and/or Operator each reserve the right to refuse services to any Member or Guest in their sole discretion, and for any reason. If the conduct of a Member or Guest endangers the aircraft or any passenger or property while on board, or a Member or Guest obstructs or hinders the crew in the performance of their duties, or fails to comply with any instruction of the crew, including but not limited to, those with respect to weapons or objects that can inflict harm to persons or property, smoking in any form, drugs, alcohol, or use of any threatening, abusive or insulting words towards the crew or any behavior which causes discomfort, inconvenience, damage or injury to the crew or other passengers on the flight, Surf or Operator may take such measures as deemed necessary to prevent continuation of such conduct including restraint. Members or Guests may be disembarked and refused onward carriage at any point and may be prosecuted for offenses committed on board the aircraft. In addition, while waiting for travel or checking-in for flights at FBO or other airport facilities, Members and Guests are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that is respectful of Surf, Operator or on-ground staff, as well as other Members and Guests. If the conduct of a Member or Guest is in any way abusive, inappropriate, a violation of facility policies or the law, or threatens the safety of any person or property, Surf may take such measures as deemed necessary to prevent continuation of such conduct, including refusal of service or contacting law enforcement. If any Member of Guest is not acting in conformance with the proper rules of conduct or any community guidelines or other policies published by Surf from time-to-time, then Membership privileges may be revoked permanently in Surf’s sole discretion, without refund.

Members agree that Surf may, in its discretion, change these terms, conditions, policies, and procedures at any time.
(11) Compliance with Laws and Regulations – Travel by Members and Guests shall at all times be subject to applicable laws and regulations, including regulations and guidelines established by the Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Please note that Operator may have limitations regarding carry-on or checked luggage that are more restrictive that commercial airlines due to the nature of the cargo hold of the aircraft used for flights. For instance, transportation of firearms or weapons may not be permitted under applicable regulations and guidelines. If you have any questions regarding applicable restrictions, please contact membercare@surfair.com.
(B) Guest Flights
(1) Guest Flight Benefits – Surf offers guest flights available for purchase by Members subject to the terms of the Agreement.? A “Guest Flight” allows an individual, other than a Member or Listed Member, to travel under the applicable Member’s Membership on a limited basis.

Guests are required to pass a background check before using a Guest Flight. A background check may take up to five (5) business days to process. All Guest Flights are subject to the same terms and conditions for Members, including, but not limited to, the standard cancellation and penalty policies. Members will incur the standard penalty for late cancellation (as further set forth below) if a Member’s Guest cancels within the penalty period and the Guest Flight will become invalid and unable to be reused.
(3) Surf Policies – Guests shall at all times comply with all Surf terms, conditions, and policies in effect, such as procedures for flight Reservations/Flight Passes, wait lists, baggage, and flight cancellation policies and penalties, as well as the Contract of Carriage.?

If a Guest is a No Show, they will be unable to board the scheduled flight and the Guest Flight used for the No Show will be forfeited. Surf and the Operator will refuse to honor any Reservation or Flight Pass when such action is reasonably deemed to be necessary to comply with applicable governmental regulations or requests.
(C) Presales
(1) Presales –Presales may be made by persons interested in a Membership by paying a deposit (“Deposit”) or purchasing a Membership in advance (“Advance Purchase”) and delaying the Service Commencement Date to a date set forth in the Application.? Payment of a Deposit or Advance Purchase amount may also be referred to herein as a “Presale”. A Presale guarantees the Membership price offered on the date that the Deposit or Advance Purchase amount is paid so long as the Membership is activated within the timeframe established by Surf at the time the Presale occurs, subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement or any terms of the Application.
Presales require the following information: Membership type, pricing series, desired city or route, and payment of a refundable Deposit or Advance Purchase amount.?? A Presale guarantees a Membership if the desired city or route becomes available to Surf Members regardless of availability of Memberships on the date of the Presale; provided that, if the city or route is not made available within one (1) year of the date the Presale has been made and a launch date has not been announced by Surf, Surf may at any time after such one (1) year period and in its sole discretion: (1) refund the Deposit or Advance Purchase amount and cancel the Presale; or (2) extend the validity of the Presale for an additional period of time determined by Surf and notified to the prospective Member.? The Deposit or Advance Purchase amount is also refundable to the prospective Member at any time before the public launch of the desired city or route by contacting membercare@surfair.com.
The Service Commencement Date for prospective Members that make an Advance Purchase will automatically be the date that the desired city or route set forth on the Application is available. For Presales that are made through the payment of a Deposit rather than an Advance Purchase, the Service Commencement Date must be within ninety (90) days from the date that the desired city or route becomes available to book by Surf Members, and the prospective Member shall notify Surf of the desired Service Commencement Date within that time period.? Once a Service Commencement Date is set, the Deposit is automatically applied toward the Initiation fee. If the prospective Member does not activate the Membership within the ninety (90) day period, Surf may in its sole discretion: (1) refund the Deposit and cancel the Presale; or (2) extend the validity of the Presale for an additional period of time determined by Surf and notified to the prospective Member.
Commencing on the Service Commencement Date, all other terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to Memberships purchased as Presales, including any terms applicable to changes in Membership Fees.
(2) Cancellation of Presales – In addition to any rights of cancellation set forth in this Agreement, Surf reserves the right, based on reasonable business needs or conditions, to cancel Presales, and in such event will refund any prepaid Fees, Deposits or Advance Purchase amounts. Presales are not a guarantee that Surf will offer certain cities or routes as part of its Membership, and Surf reserves all rights in that regard.
(D) Other Third Party Products and Services

(2) Other Third Party Fees – Surf may occasionally promote or offer for sale to Members or Listed Members goods or services provided by an Other Third Party.

Member is solely responsible for any third party baggage shipping fees and agrees that Surf shall not be liable for the loss of or damage to such baggage transported by a third party baggage shipping service.
(E) Membership Fees and Billing/Payment
The Membership Fees are an access fee for use of the Surf Membership, and not a payment for air transportation. Membership Fees are non-refundable, except as specifically provided in the Agreement, even if Member fails to utilize the Membership Program.

Fees are due to Surf on a schedule as set forth in the Membership Plan Terms. Membership Fees are typically due on a monthly or annual basis, depending upon the type of Membership. Applicable taxes may be invoiced separately, if deemed necessary in Surf’s sole discretion. Any payment of Fees that is not paid by its due date will accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, from the due date until paid.

Payments processed through any of the above methods will always be subject to the terms and conditions of the respective payment processing agencies, and any violation by Member of such terms and conditions can result in cancellation of Membership. Surf has no responsibility for payments transmitted in error, or payments that fail to transmit due to an omission, by a Member or any third party, and Member shall remain responsible for any unpaid Fees that result from Member’s non-payment due to an error or omission by Member or any third party. Any fees, assessments or penalties payable by Member to any third party in connection with Member’s use of services by payment processing agencies and/or based on form of payment used by the Member shall be the sole responsibility of the Member, and Surf shall have no liability for any such fees, assessments or penalties.? All transactions shall be in accordance with Surf policies set forth for such payment options. Please contact membercare@surfair.com for any such policies.
(2) Suspension of Membership – Surf reserves the right to suspend or terminate (at Surf’s option) a Membership if payment of the Fees is not received within seven (7) days of its due date (“Membership Suspension”). Membership shall be suspended until such time that Member provides a valid payment method and all Fees due to Surf have been received, including all past due amounts and amounts for any periods of Membership Suspension.
(3) Dormancy – Dormancy status may be permitted for Members depending upon your Membership Plan, but in no event may dormancy status be elected until a Member’s account has been active for at least three (3) months or, if longer, during any prepaid Membership periods of time. Please contact membercare@surfair.com for your Membership Plan Terms. If permitted by your Membership Plan, by electing Dormancy status, in lieu of remitting your Membership Fees, you will be billed a “Dormancy Fee” (as further set forth in your Membership Plan Terms), for up to three (3) months per calendar year (“Dormancy Term”) to temporarily de-activate your Membership. During a Dormancy Term, you will be unable to book or fly on flights operated by an Operator and arranged by Surf; however, your Membership Plan will be maintained and upon conclusion of the Dormancy Term, your Membership will automatically revert to your Membership Plan and you will be billed by Surf accordingly.? All Dormancy requests require thirty (30) days advanced written notice to membercare@surfair.com prior to any Dormancy Term taking effect.

The preliminary notice may thereafter be amended in writing; however, such amended claim must be presented to Surf no later than ten (10) days after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim. Failure to provide timely written notice will not bar a claim if the claimant establishes to the satisfaction of Surf that he or she was unable, through no fault or omission of the claimant, to provide notice within the specified time. No legal action on any claim described above may be maintained against Surf unless commenced within six (6) months of Surf’s written denial of a claim, in whole or in part.

(7) Choice of Law – This Agreement will be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California without regard to their respective conflicts of laws rules.
(8) Dispute Resolution; MANDATORY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION
Please read this section carefully.? It affects legal rights that you may otherwise have and requires individual final and binding arbitration of most disputes instead of resolution in court.
In the event of a dispute under this Agreement, where such dispute has not been settled within thirty (30) days after written notice from either party to the other of the existence of the dispute, the parties agree that, at the request of either party, such dispute will be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the procedures below.
Arbitration is the submission of a dispute to a neutral arbitrator, instead of a judge or jury, for a final and binding decision, known as an “award.”? Arbitration provides for more limited discovery than in court, is subject to limited review by courts, and the result is confidential.? Each party has an opportunity to present evidence to the arbitrator in writing or through witnesses.? An arbitrator can only award the same damages and relief that a court can award under the law and must honor the terms and conditions in this Agreement.
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, PUNITIVE DAMAGES WAIVER
You and Surf agree that any dispute, whether at law or equity, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your use of Surf products or services, regardless of the date of accrual of such dispute, shall be resolved in its entirety by individual (not classwide or collective) binding arbitration, except that you or Surf may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court.
You and Surf agree that any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis and that class, mass, consolidated or combined actions or arbitrations or proceedings as a private attorney general are not permitted.
You and Surf agree to waive the right to trial by jury.
This agreement to arbitrate extends to claims that you assert against other parties, including without limit claims against Surf’s affiliates and related entities.
The Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate.
This agreement to arbitrate shall survive termination of this Agreement.? Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if any part of this agreement to arbitrate is deemed invalid or inapplicable, the remainder of the agreement to arbitrate shall still be considered valid and enforceable.? If any part of this agreement to arbitrate is deemed invalid or inapplicable, you and Surf both waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any claims to recover punitive or exemplary damages and any right to pursue any claims on a class, mass, consolidated, or combined basis.
ARBITRATION PROCEDURES
Arbitration shall be conducted by JAMS in accordance with its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”).? The JAMS Rules and instructions for how to initiate an arbitration are available from JAMS at?http://www.jamsadr.com?or 1-800-352-5267.? To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must serve at Member Care, 1408 Third Street Promenade, Suite 300, Santa Monica, CA 90401, United States.
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules, except that for claims of less than $1,000, you will be obligated to pay $25 and Surf will pay all other administrative costs and fees.? In addition, for claims of less than $1,000, Surf will reimburse you for the $25 fee if the arbitrator rules in your favor.? Reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses will be awarded only to the extent such allocation or award is available under applicable law.
Any arbitration will take place in or near the county where claimant resides and will be determined by a single arbitrator; provided, however, that upon request by either party, the arbitration shall be conducted via telephone to the extent permitted by the JAMS Rules.? The arbitration may award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive relief).
Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The proceeding will be closed except to the parties, their attorneys, representatives, witnesses, and experts, all of whom must agree or have a duty to maintain the confidentiality of the dispute and its result, except as needed to implement the ruling.

(11) Titles – Article titles and subheadings contained in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference. Such titles in no way define, limit, or describe the scope or extent of any provision of this Agreement.
(12) Conflicts – In the event of a conflict between a Contract of Carriage, Membership Agreement, Membership Plan Terms, terms printed on any ticket, terms printed on any ticketless travel authorization, and terms specified on Surf’s website or mobile device application, precedence will be given in the order in which they are listed in the foregoing and if there is more than one version of any that are applicable, the last in time.

Surf may be required to furnish Member and guest data, such as name, date of birth, and passport information, to comply with national and international security requirements or rules of governing bodies.

Surf is not an operator of aircraft or an air carrier, nor does it hold out, offer, sell or provide air transportation.? Surf procures scheduled air transportation and other services, such as ground transportation, aircraft catering, airport parking, and other concierge-type services. With regard to GDS Seats, Operators are making available for purchase by Passengers excess capacity that Operators may have on scheduled flights. Surf or Operator reserves the right to change, suspend or terminate any of the services or benefits it offers at any time, including, without limitation, changes, suspension or termination of any routes, types of aircraft used and/or operators that perform flights, and changes to (or imposition of new) fees or other charges for services or benefits.
Transportation services are provided by third party aircraft operators holding an Air Carrier Certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (each, an “Operator”) authorizing them to furnish air transportation services pursuant to Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 C.F.R. Part 135 (“FAR Part 135”)). Passenger understands that Surf is not an aircraft operator and arranges air travel and other services solely as a manager of the Surf membership programs and for purposes of providing access to the GDS. For clarification purposes,?“Private Aircraft Charter”,?“Aircraft Charter”,?“Private Charter”,?and “Charter” refers to accessing, using, booking, arranging, or chartering an aircraft.? Except when it is expressly stated that a flight is operated pursuant to a Public Charter Program, all travel arrangements are made pursuant to FAR Part 135 under the terms, restrictions and limitations reflected in this Agreement.
Surf may provide access to its software including applications, websites, electronic social/commerce, marketplaces, and integrated communication tools, which form part of its membership programs or provide access to the GDS, and are designed to enhance the user-experience, communications, service optimization, functionality and logistics of the Program (“Software”). Members can access and utilize such Program and Software only as stipulated and limited under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
All flights arranged under this Agreement are operated by an Operator, who shall have exclusive direction, control and authority over initiating, conducting or terminating flights (“Operational Control”).? Surf is not a FAR Part 135 air carrier and does not provide air carrier services. An Operator performing the flight will be subject to, but not limited to: flight time and duty time restrictions and airport limitations that may preclude or limit operations to certain airports and other applicable regulations and requirements. Passenger understands and agrees that an Operator shall have absolute discretion in all matters relating to the operation of the aircraft, including, and without limitation: the preparation of the aircraft for flight and the flight itself, the timing of the flight, the load carried and its distribution, the decision whether or not a flight is to be performed, the route to be flown, etc.? Passenger expressly agrees that an Operator shall have final and complete authority to cancel any flight for any reason or condition that in its sole and absolute judgment could affect the safety of flight and may take any other action that, in its opinion, is necessitated by considerations of safety. No such action of an Operator shall create or support any liability for loss, injury, damage or delay to Passenger.
In addition,?an Operator shall have the right to refuse boarding to any person:?(a) who appears to be intoxicated or under the influence of any illicit or controlled substance drug; (b) who refuses to be subject to any reasonable checks of his or her person or baggage by an Operator, or by government or airport authorities; (c) whose condition, including apparent illness or incapacity, in the sole judgment of an Operator would involve hazard or risk to himself, herself or others; (d) who fails to provide proper identification in compliance with applicable laws; or (e) who is conducting himself or herself in a manner inconsistent with, or otherwise in breach of, the terms of the Agreement. Please see the applicable Operator’s Contract of Carriage for additional terms and conditions imposed by the Operator for GDS Seats purchased by Passenger.
(II) GDS SEAT POLICIES
(A) NON-REFUNDABLE GDS SEAT PURCHASES
(1) Changes by Passenger – A Passenger may change their reservation for any non-refundable GDS Seat purchase with at least 24 hours notice prior to scheduled departure. Changes shall be subject to GDS Seat availability on other flights. A $100 change fee shall apply for changes made in accordance with this policy and Passenger would be responsible for any applicable fare difference.
(2) Cancellations by Passenger – Cancellation by a Passenger of reservations for non-refundable GDS Seat purchases will result in forfeiture of fare. Taxes and fees will not be refunded except when required by applicable law and, where permitted, only upon written request by Passenger.
(B) REFUNDABLE GDS SEAT PURCHASES
(1) Changes by Passenger – A Passenger may change their reservation for any refundable GDS Seat purchase with at least 24 hours notice prior to scheduled departure. Changes shall be subject to GDS Seat availability on other flights. No change fee shall apply for changes made in accordance with this policy; provided that, Passenger would be responsible for any applicable fare difference. If the fare is less for the new flight, the difference in fare amount will be refunded to Passenger.
(2) Cancellations by Passenger – Reservations for refundable fares may be cancelled by Passenger at any time up until 15 minutes prior to scheduled departure.
(3) Refund Policy – Refunds of refundable GDS Seats shall be made by Operator to the original form of payment, except that when a portion of the trip has been completed, the refund will be made in an amount equal to the applicable one-way fare (less any applicable discount) for the portion of the trip cancelled or not operated as scheduled by Operator. If reservation is not cancelled by Passenger prior to scheduled departure, the fare shall become non-refundable.
(C) COMBINED REFUNDABLE AND NON-REFUNDABLE GDS SEAT PURCHASES
Where one leg of a fare is ticketed as a refundable fare and another leg of a fare is ticketed as a non-refundable fare, the applicable refund and cancellation policies for refundable fares will apply only to the refundable portion and the applicable refund and cancellation policies for the non-refundable fare will apply to the non- refundable portion.
(D) OTHER GDS SEAT POLICIES
(1) Reservations/Flight Passes –A “Reservation” or “Flight Pass” is a paperless ticket used to book each GDS Seat made available to Passenger by an Operator. The Reservation or Flight Pass of any Passenger refused passage or removed enroute under the provisions the Contract of Carriage may be refunded to Passenger at Surf’s sole discretion. Such a refund shall be the sole recourse of any Passenger refused passage or removed enroute.
(2) Cancellations and Changes BY SURF OR OPERATOR – An Operator will attempt to transport passengers and their baggage promptly and as scheduled. Flight schedules, however, are subject to change without notice and the schedules are not guaranteed. Surf will use its reasonable best efforts to promptly notify all affected passengers, using the contact information provided by each passenger, of planned or unplanned schedule changes and cancellations including, but not limited to, those due to weather. At times, without prior notice to passengers, an Operator may need to substitute other aircraft or air carriers and may change, add, or omit intermediate or connecting stops. Surf cannot guarantee that passengers will make connections to other Operator flights, or those of other air carriers. In the event that a flight is cancelled by Surf or an Operator due to circumstances entirely within the control of Surf or an Operator (i.e., insufficient pilot staffing or maintenance), then Surf or Operator shall credit the Passenger for documented costs up to the cost of the GDS Seat purchase amount paid by Passenger, even if the fare is a non-refundable fare.? Documented costs eligible for a credit under the preceding sentence shall be limited to up to $350 per one-way airfare or up to $350 for one night hotel stay (hotel to be selected by Surf), if Passenger opts to stay overnight versus taking alternate travel. For the avoidance of doubt, a Passenger cannot opt for both alternative travel and an overnight hotel stay. In the event that a flight is cancelled due to weather or a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR), Surf will not be liable for any reimbursement costs.
(3) Check In and “No Shows” – Passenger must check in with the appropriate Surf personnel located at the departure airport at least fifteen (15) minutes prior to the scheduled departure time or the passenger will be considered a “No Show.” If a Passenger is a No Show, they will be unable to board the scheduled flight. Surf will refuse to honor any Reservation or Flight Pass when such action is reasonably deemed to be necessary to comply with applicable governmental regulations or requests.
(4) Identification and Travel Documentation – In accordance with the United States Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) regulations and additional government regulations Passenger is required to comply with all TSA regulations, and will be required to present valid identification prior to departure for all flights. An Operator has the right to refuse boarding to any person without the required documentation or as a result of non-compliance with TSA or other government regulations without recourse or further obligation on behalf of an Operator or Surf.
(5) Conduct – Surf and/or Operator each reserve the right to refuse services to Passenger in their sole discretion, and for any reason. If the conduct of a Passenger endangers the aircraft or any passenger or property while on board, or a Passenger obstructs or hinders the crew in the performance of their duties, or fails to comply with any instruction of the crew, including but not limited to, those with respect to weapons or objects that can inflict harm to persons or property, smoking in any form, drugs, alcohol, or use of any threatening, abusive or insulting words towards the crew or any behavior which causes discomfort, inconvenience, damage or injury to the crew or other passengers on the flight, Surf or Operator may take such measures as deemed necessary to prevent continuation of such conduct including restraint. Passenger may be disembarked and refused onward carriage at any point and may be prosecuted for offenses committed on board the aircraft. In addition, while waiting for travel or checking-in for flights at FBO or other airport facilities, Passenger is expected to conduct themselves in a manner that is respectful of Surf, Operator or on-ground staff, as well as other travelers. If the conduct of a Passenger is in any way abusive, inappropriate, a violation of facility policies or the law, or threatens the safety of any person or property, Surf may take such measures as deemed necessary to prevent continuation of such conduct, including refusal of service or contacting law enforcement. If any Passenger is not acting in conformance with the proper rules of conduct or any guidelines or other policies published by Surf from time-to-time, then travel privileges may be revoked permanently in Surf’s sole discretion, without refund.
(6) Compliance with Laws and Regulations – Travel by Passenger shall at all times be subject to applicable laws and regulations, including regulations and guidelines established by the Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Please note that Operator may have limitations regarding carry-on or checked luggage that are more restrictive that commercial airlines due to the nature of the cargo hold of the aircraft used for flights. For instance, transportation of firearms or weapons may not be permitted under applicable regulations and guidelines. If you have any questions regarding applicable restrictions, please contact membercare@surfair.com.
(E) Other Third Party Products and Services
(1) Other Third Party Benefits – In addition to flights operated an Operator, Surf may arrange other benefits provided by a third party (“Other Third Parties”). Other Third Parties include, but are not limited to: airport facilities, courtesy car, car rental agencies, ground/air/water transportation providers (i.e., taxi, helicopter, ferry services), shipping or transportation services, caterers, and parking services. Surf assumes no liability for, and makes no guarantees or warranties regarding, these Other Third Parties and benefits and such benefits may change or end at any time.
(2) Other Third Party Fees – Surf may occasionally promote or offer for sale goods or services provided by an Other Third Party. All fees for Other Third Party products or services purchased by a Passenger (“Other Third Party Fees“) are the responsibility of the Passenger respectively.
(3) Third Party Policies and Liability – Passenger is responsible for verifying and abiding by all Other Third Party terms and conditions, rules and policies, and use of Other Third Party services shall be deemed acceptance of any such terms, conditions, rules or policies. Other Third Parties are neither agents nor employees of Surf or its affiliates. Passenger agrees that Surf and its affiliates are not liable for the acts, errors, omissions, representations, warranties, breaches, or negligence of any Other Third Party or for any personal injuries, death, property damage, or other damages or expenses resulting therefrom, including, but not limited to, all liability for damage to Passenger’s vehicle while transported to or parked in any parking area or otherwise in the care of any Other Third Party.
(4) Parking and Ground/Air/Water Transportation – Surf does not assume responsibility for the parking of vehicles or the ground, air or water transportation of any passengers or their baggage. Surf may, at its sole discretion, offer or promote parking or other transportation options in certain locations or in conjunction with certain bundled, packaged, or charter services. Passengers are responsible for charges associated with any such parking or other transportation that they chose to accept, and the terms of this Agreement for Other Third Party service shall apply to parking or other transportation utilized by a Passenger. Surf assumes no responsibility, and all passengers waive any claims against Surf, relating to or in connection with any parking or other transportation that may be offered in connection with Surf’s services.
(5) Third Party Shipping of Baggage and Personal Property – Surf or Operator cannot transport personal property unless Passenger is accompanying such property on a flight. For a Passenger desiring the transportation of baggage to a location separate from the destination, Surf may refer the passenger to the services of a third party baggage shipping service for shipping to another destination.? Passenger is solely responsible for any third party baggage shipping fees and agrees that Surf shall not be liable for the loss of or damage to such baggage transported by a third party baggage shipping service.
(F) Amendments to Terms and Service Limitations
(1) Amendment of Agreement – Surf may amend or modify the Agreement from time to time. Amendments will be effective upon Surf’s publishing of such amended or modified terms and conditions on its website and/or mobile device applications, or via email communication to Passenger. A Passenger’s continued access or use of the service after such posting constitutes Passenger’s consent to be bound by the Agreement, as amended or modified.
(2) Non-Transferability of Membership, Rewards or Credits – GDS Seats are solely available to Passenger and cannot be lent, shared, transferred, leased or sold to any third party, except as may be allowed by GDS rules and policies.
(G) Miscellaneous

If the person entering this Agreement is doing so on behalf of a legal entity, such person represents that she or he has the legal authority to bind the legal entity to this Agreement.
(2) Background Checks – Passenger agrees and consents to periodic background checks on the Passenger at any time during the term of this Agreement and prior to any such individual’s travel on a Surf flight.? Background checks may be performed by a third party and in accordance with such third party’s policies and procedures. Passenger acknowledges and agrees that in so doing, Surf may require that Passenger provide additional information, including a social security number or global entry card (if no SSN), and may share all or a portion of such information with third party vendors for the purpose of conducting the background check. Surf warrants that it will maintain the confidentiality of information provided by Passenger as required by applicable law. Background checks may take up to five (5) business days to process.? A passenger’s acceptance of this Agreement and delivery of the passenger’s personal information constitutes consent to Surf for performing a background check. Surf reserves the right to refuse service, at its sole discretion, to any passenger that does not comply with the request for a background check or based on the results of a background check.
(3) Baggage and Personal Property – Surf personnel may assist with the handling of baggage on behalf of Passengers in connection with Passenger check-in. Surf’s liability, if any, for loss of or damage to baggage and/or its contents, with the exception of wheelchairs, mobility aids, and assistive devices used by an individual with a disability, is limited to the proven actual value of damage or loss, but in no event shall be greater than $200.00 per passenger. Surf will be liable for personal property only for the period in which it is in the custody of Surf. Surf will assume no liability or responsibility for property carried onboard an aircraft by a passenger and retained in the custody of the passenger.? Surf’s liability for loss, delay or damage to baggage is limited unless a higher value is declared in advance and additional charges are paid. Under no circumstances shall Surf be liable to any passenger for any type of special, incidental or consequential damages related to the damage, loss or delay of checked baggage.
Surf will compensate the passenger for reasonable, documented damages incurred as a result of the loss of or damage to such items up to the limit of liability as set forth above, provided that the damage was caused by Surf or occurred while the baggage was in Surf’s sole custody, and the passenger exercised reasonable effort to minimize the amount of damage as determined in Surf’ sole discretion. Actual value for reimbursement of lost or damaged property shall be calculated as the lesser of the documented original purchase price of the items, less depreciation for prior usage, or the cost to make applicable repairs. In no event will Surf be liable for damage to bags arising from ordinary wear and tear or broken or damaged handles, zippers, snaps, flaps, rivets, or wheels.? While Surf will make reasonable efforts to return carry-on items that have been left onboard an aircraft, Surf assumes no liability or responsibility for the loss of or damage to carry-on items.?

Furthermore, any other partner benefits are provided and administered by the respective third parties that provide the services.

In the case of loss of, damage to, or delay in delivery of baggage, no claim will be entertained by Surf unless preliminary written notice of such claim is presented to a Surf representative in person within one (1) day after arrival of the flight on which the loss, damage, or delay is alleged to have occurred. The preliminary notice may thereafter be amended in writing; however, such amended claim must be presented to Surf no later than ten (10) days after the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim. Failure to provide timely written notice will not bar a claim if the claimant establishes to the satisfaction of Surf that he or she was unable, through no fault or omission of the claimant, to provide notice within the specified time. No legal action on any claim described above may be maintained against Surf unless commenced within six (6) months of Surf’s written denial of a claim, in whole or in part.
