If Avian Jets efforts are successful, but the Customer decides not to accept the replacement Aircraft found by Avian Jets, Avian Jets shall be entitled to retain all sums due to it under these Terms and Conditions (including Avian Jets fee for facilitating an Agreement) had the Customer accepted the replacement Aircraft. If Avian Jets efforts are unsuccessful, the Customer’s sole remedy shall be a full refund of the Charter Price (minus Avian Jets fee for facilitating an Agreement) in respect of that part of any Charter Contract which cannot be fulfilled due to Aircraft unavailability.

Charges related to such additional expenses will be charged to the Customer’s credit card on file. If unsuccessful, the Customer must pay via wire transfer, and all funds must be received before any change will be made to the trip.
