Except when otherwise provided hereof, concerning the carriage which is not governed by the Convention as international carriage, our liability is subject to the Law.
This Article 14 summarizes the liability rules under the Convention and Law, but if it is inconsistent with the Convention, or Law, or other applicable laws, the Convention, or Law, or other applicable laws shall override this Article 14.

The Carrier is liable only for damage sustained in case of death or bodily injury of the passenger upon the condition that the accident which caused the death or injury took place on board of the aircraft or in the course of any operations of embarking or disembarking.
For damages in cases of death or bodily injury which does not exceed 128.821 SDR, we shall not avail ourselves of any defence. Nevertheless, in cases where it is proved that such damages are caused or contributed to by the negligence or other wrongful act or omission of the injured person or person claiming compensation, the Carrier shall be wholly or partly exonerated from its liability to the claimant.
For damages that exceed 128.821 SDR the Carrier can defend itself against the claim by proving that it was not negligent or otherwise at fault, or that such damage was solely due to the negligence or other wrongful act or omission of a third party.
14.3 Advance payments
For damages in cases of the death of a passenger, the Carrier shall make advance payments of up to 16.000 SDR per passenger, to the person entitled to compensation within 15 days from the day of identification of the person entitled to the compensation, in cases where such payments are required to meet immediate economic needs. Such payment, under no circumstances, shall constitute our recognition of liability, and the amount paid shall be included in the final amount to the person entitled to the compensation. This advance payment is not refundable to us except when proven that the person who has received the payment or deceased or injured passenger is partly or fully responsible for the occurred damage, or the payment was received by a person who is not entitled to such compensation.
