This Website is owned by KLM and operated by KLM and/or its suppliers. The intellectual property rights, including the copyrights, in the material contained in this Website and any KLM trademarks and brands included in that material belongs to KLM and/or its licensors and/or its suppliers.

No material, information, software, products or services obtained from this Website may be modified, copied, displayed, performed, licensed, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted, sold, distributed, researched, recovered, monitored or retrieved  in any way, without the prior written permission of KLM. User may only download one copy of the material on a single computer for User's own personal non-commercial use only, provided User keeps intact all accompanying copyright and other proprietary notices.

The information, software, products, and services published on this Website may include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. KLM and/or its suppliers make no representations about the suitability of the information, software, products, and services contained on this Website for any purpose. All such information, software, products, and services are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. KLM and/or its suppliers hereby disclaim all warranties and conditions with regard to this information, software, products, and services, including all implied warranties and conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. In no event shall KLM and/or its suppliers be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special or consequential damages arising out of or in any way connected with the use of this Website or with the delay or inability to use this Website, or for any information, software, products, and services obtained through this Website, or otherwise arising out of the use of this Website, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise.

The foregoing does not apply in the event of wilful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of KLM and/or its suppliers and/or in the event of damage resulting from death or injury.

The prices stated on the KLM website are shown in one specific currency for each country. However, it is possible to pay in a different currency. This process is called Multi Currency Pricing. The relevant middle rate is used to convert the original currency into the preferred payment currency, with the addition of a fixed surcharge. This surcharge is market-based and KLM always endeavours to keep this fee (including the middle rate applied) lower than the rates applied by credit and debit card-issuing institutions like banks. However, KLM cannot be held liable for any differences in these rates.

If the payment currency is different from the currency charged to your credit or debit card, the bank issuing the card will convert the rate. KLM cannot be held liable for this conversion.

If you have chosen to pay in a currency other than the original currency on the KLM website, the institution issuing your card may still charge a fee. This depends on the country and bank. These fees are called ‘overseas charges’ or ‘cross-border charges’ and are not related to exchange rates. These fees are also charged by the card-issuing institutions responsible for the currency conversions. This is an agreement between the card-issuing institution and the cardholder. Consequently, KLM cannot be held liable for these fees.

This Website may contain links or references to or parts of other Internet sites maintained by third parties. KLM does not operate or control in any respect any information, products or services on such third-party sites neither the accessibility thereto. Third party links and references are included solely for the convenience of users, and do not constitute any endorsement by KLM and/or its suppliers. User assumes sole responsibility for use of third-party links and references.

Any third party that wishes to establish links to this Website should notify KLM of their intention prior to doing so. KLM reserves the right to deny permission for any such links to this Website.

As a condition of use of this Website, the User agrees to indemnify KLM and its suppliers from and against any and all liabilities, expenses (including attorneys' fees) and damages arising out of claims resulting from User's use of this Website.

KLM reserves the right to change these Terms at any time. User is responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms that are on a continuous basis put at the disposal of the User by including them in this Website. Continued use of this Website following any such changes shall constitute the User's acceptance of such changes.

KLM reserves the right to make and have made any and all changes to this Website at its sole discretion without notice to the User. In case of violation of these Terms, KLM reserves the right to immediately and without any notice block the Users access to the Website and/or take any action or to make any claims considered necessary or appropriate to obtain compensation.

These Terms refer only to the use of this Website and separate terms and conditions apply to airline carriage, prize draws or any other promotion, and other services.
