This AH Signature may be used on the Assignment Form, for the purpose of proving the assignment of the claim in communication with the airline and/or in court procedures, and/or on the Authority Document or other documents.
§2 Agreement
After the Customer has accepted these Terms, AirHelp agrees to deliver and the Client agrees to receive Eligibility Service and Information Service.
After the Customer has accepted these Terms and submitted (with AH Signature) either the Assignment Form or Authority Document, the Agreement shall be in place, and the Customer agrees to receive Justice as a Service and AirHelp agrees to deliver Justice as a Service.
By entering into an Agreement with AirHelp, the Customer affirms that they are authorized and have the legal capacity to enter into the Agreement on their own behalf and, where applicable, on behalf of their fellow passengers.
By submitting the Assignment Form or an Authority Document, the Customer affirms that they are authorized and have the legal capacity to sign the Assignment Form or an Authority Document on their own behalf and, where applicable, on behalf of their minor fellow passengers.
The Customer acknowledges that AirHelp only seeks Flight Compensation. The Customer agrees that AirHelp will not accept travel vouchers and/or other services as Flight Compensation and that such an offer from airlines will be considered as refusal of payment, unless AirHelp determines that the likelihood of a more favorable outcome for the Customer is low and under the circumstances it would be the best choice to accept such offer.
The Customer affirms that the Claim has not been assigned to third parties and no legal dispute is pending or expected between the Customer and the airline in the same matter.
After submitting the Assignment Form, the Customer may not assign the Claim to any other party as the legal title to the claim has been assigned to AirHelp. After submitting the Authority Document, the Customer may not mandate another third party to act on behalf of the Customer concerning the same Claim.
Any existing engagements or assignments, if any, must be canceled before submitting the Assignment Form or an Authority Document. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Customer has signed an Authority Document, the Customer can withdraw the authority given in the Authority Document by giving written notice to AirHelp. This withdrawal does not affect the Agreement itself.
If the Customer receives any direct payments or any other compensation from the airline concerned after entering into the Agreement, the Customer shall be obliged to advise AirHelp without delay. Such payments shall be considered Flight Compensation and entitle AirHelp to its Service Fee and Legal Action Fee if Legal Action was taken by AirHelp prior to the Customer receiving payment from the airline. For the avoidance of doubt, Flight Compensation does not include any payments or reimbursements of attorney’s fees, cost of legal advice, court fees, collection cost, interest, or similar, which payments shall belong solely to AirHelp.
After submitting the Assignment Form or an Authority Document, the Customer shall be obliged to cease negotiations with the airline concerned and direct any contact made by the airline to AirHelp in order to ensure that AirHelp achieves the best result possible.
§3 Description of Justice as a Service
AirHelp asserts the Customer’s Claim for Flight Compensation from the operating airline on the basis of EC 261 or any other Air Passenger Rights Regulation in force applicable to the Customer’s particular air travel.
Flight data and information may be submitted to AirHelp via the website, email, other electronic or software solutions supported by AirHelp, or phone.
To pursue the Claim successfully, AirHelp needs the Customer’s submitted Assignment Form or Authority Document, which they can send to AirHelp via the web form or using email, or postal service. On receiving a Customer’s submitted Assignment Form or Authority Document, AirHelp prepares a request for payment and sends it to the operating airline without unreasonable delay and handles all further correspondence. For this part of Justice as a Service, if Flight Compensation is paid, AirHelp charges its Service Fee (see Price List).
If the operating airline fails to pay Flight Compensation within a reasonable period after being notified by AirHelp and provided the case may be asserted with adequate certainty, AirHelp may propose and initiate Legal Action to pursue the Claim. In the event that Legal Action is undertaken as advised and Flight Compensation is paid, AirHelp charges the Legal Action Fee in addition to the Service Fee, see Price List).
In the event that a contracted legal representative is used for Legal Action, the Customer will allow AirHelp to grant the contracted legal representative access to all of the data communicated to AirHelp and allow the legal representative to transfer information concerning the proceedings to AirHelp. Where a separate Authority Document, Assignment Form, or other additional documents are required by the relevant court, the Customer undertakes to sign such additional documents. In cases where the Customer has signed an Assignment Form, and later signs an Authority Document (or similar), the Customer accepts that the Authority Document assigns the Claim back to the Customer.
If the contracted legal representative comes to the conclusion that there are insufficient prospects of success, the Customer will be advised about this and the Claim will not be actively pursued any further. In the event of changes affecting the Claim's prospects of success, AirHelp reserves the right to contact the Customer and actively pursue the Claim again.
If AirHelp or the contracted legal representative institutes legal proceedings to pursue a Claim, AirHelp will cover any costs incurred in the event the lawsuit is lost. In the event the lawsuit is won, or a settlement has been reached between the airline and AirHelp, AirHelp will cover any costs incurred that are not covered by the airline. If a lawsuit is won, a claim for reimbursement of court fees will be put forward on behalf of the Customer. The same applies for the cost of legal advice and attorney’s fees regardless of whether the legal proceedings are performed by AirHelp or a contracted legal representative.
The Customer acknowledges that it is the sole decision of AirHelp to accept any settlement offer since the Customer has assigned the Claim to AirHelp. In case AirHelp acts on behalf of the Customer pursuant to an Authority Document, the Customer authorizes AirHelp to accept or reject settlement offers based on AirHelp’s experience with the airline and the advice from external legal representatives.
AirHelp may pursue the Claim in its own name with the assigned Claim, with or without the help of a legal representative. Where appropriate and/or legally necessary, AirHelp may reassign the Claim to the Customer and the Customer agrees to grant AirHelp with an Authority Document to deliver Justice as a Service and collect and/or receive payments.
§4 Description of AirHelp Plus Membership

The Customer warrants that the data and information provided is correct, complete and true, and where applicable, given with the consent of the fellow passengers.
The Customer agrees to fully indemnify AirHelp in all respects for all third-party claims including, but not limited to, incorrect Customer communications, provision of incorrect data/information, and fraudulent conduct.
In case of incorrect data/information and fraudulent conduct, AirHelp reserves the right to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect. If the Agreement is terminated in accordance with this paragraph, the Customer will not have any right to compensation of any kind.
§8 Right of withdrawal
If the Customer qualifies as a consumer in accordance with EU consumer regulations i.e. they are a person who enters into a legal transaction for a purpose that is neither their commercial nor their independent vocational activity, they have a statutory right of withdrawal.
The Customer can withdraw their acceptance of the Agreement within 14 days from the conclusion of the Agreement (e.g., letter, email) without the need to specify any reasons. To exercise their right to withdrawal, the withdrawal must be communicated within the 14-day period mentioned above and it must clearly state their wish to withdraw from the Agreement. Due to the nature of the service provided to the Customer, they cannot withdraw from our Agreement, if we have informed the Customer that the airline has accepted the Claim, as in such an event we have completed the service they requested. The withdrawal can be sent to:
AirHelp Germany GmbH
Boxhagener Straße 18
10245 Berlin
Germany
or
e-mail: info@airhelp.com
§9 Final Provisions
AirHelp is authorized to alter these Terms and the Price List and to set forth additional conditions at any time and without notice. However, changes with a negative effect on the Customer will not apply to the Customer, unless the Customer agrees to new changes.
The laws of Germany apply to these Terms, the Assignment Form, and the Agreement between AirHelp and the Customer. The Customer is, however, always entitled to claim due to protection under mandatory provisions provided by laws of the country where the Customer resides.
Should any provision of these Terms be or become void, illegal, or unenforceable, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions in any way whatsoever.
Rights and obligations fully or partially related to any submitted Claim may be transferred without restrictions by AirHelp to any entity within the corporate group of AirHelp and by AirHelp to third parties.
The English version of these Terms shall prevail in case of inconsistency to any other language version.

waive any later default by you.
