Guide for travelling abroad with ÖBB

A.1.1.1.1.1The purpose of the General Conditions of Carriage for Rail Passengers (GCC-CIV/PRR) is to ensure that uniform contractual conditions are applied to international and domestic passenger traffic by rail, insofar as this is feasible and appropriate.

A.1.1.1.1.2The International Rail Transport Committee (CIT) drew up these GCC-CIV/PRR and recommends that its members apply them. The text of the GCC-CIV/PRR and the list of under-takings applying them are shown on the CIT websitewww.cit-rail.organd on UIC/CIT/CER website www.railpassenger.info. As a general rule, they may also be con-sulted at the sales points of those undertakings which provide customer advice.

A.1.2.1.1.1The GCC-CIV/PRR cover general issues concerning the contractual relationship between passengers and carriers. Conditions which derogate from the GCC-CIV/PRR (point A.1.2.1.1.2 below) or which only apply to particular routes, particular types of trains or particular offers are covered by the special conditions of carriage.

A.1.2.1.1.2The Special Conditions of Carriage may differ from the GCC-CIV/PRR. If they differ, they will indicate exactly the section and paragraph from which they differ. Deviations from sections A.1.10 to A.1.15 can only be made in favour of the passenger, unless the Passenger Rights Regulation (PRR) does not apply (in non-EU Member States or for transport services exempted from the PRR).

A.1.2.1.1.3Both the GCC-CIV/PRR and the special conditions of carriage become integral parts of the contract of carriage on its conclusion (point A.1.15.1.1.2 below).

A.1.3.1.1.1The carriage of passengers by rail is subject to applicable regulations or contractual agreements:

• the Uniform Rules concerning the Contract of International Carriage of Passengers by Rail (CIV – Appendix to the COTIF) and/or
• Regulation (EU) No. 2021/782 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2021 on rail passengers’ rights and obligations (PRR) and/or
• national law.

A.1.3.1.1.2When carriage of passengers being the subject of a single contract of carriage includes carriage by air, road, inland waterway or sea as a supple-ment to carriage by rail, each transport mode is subject to the provisions governing that mode in so far as they are applicable or agreed on a contractual basis, without prejudice to the Articles 1 and 31 CIV.

A.1.4.1.1.1The contract of carriage obliges the carrier(s) taking part in the perform-ance of the contract of carriage to carry the passenger from the place of departure to the place of destination.

A.1.4.1.1.2The contract of carriage is composed of:

• the GCC-CIV/PRR,
• the special conditions of carriage of the respective carrier(s), and
• the information on the ticket (as per Section A.1.5.1.1.3 below).

In the event of a conflict between the GCC CIV/PRR and the special conditions of carriage, the latter shall take precedence over the GCC CIV/PRR. In the event of contradictions between provisions of the special conditions of carriage, the provision that is more favourable to the passenger shall apply.

A.1.4.1.1.3Contracts of carriage are confirmed by tickets, either in the form of traditional paper tickets or as e-tickets. Tickets act as prima facie evidence of the conclusion and content of the contract of carriage.

A.1.4.1.1.4Subject to the cases mentioned in Sections A.1.4.1.1.5, A.1.4.1.1.6 and A.1.4.1.1.7, a ticket documents a contract of carriage.

A.1.4.1.1.5One or several tickets purchased as part of a single commercial transaction shall be deemed to be a through ticket unless it is stated on the tickets or on any other document or in electronic form, in a manner that can be reproduced and referred to by passengers at a later date, that the ticket or tickets constitute separate contracts of carriage, and the passenger has been informed of this fact prior to the sale.

A.1.4.1.1.6A single commercial transaction means the purchase of one or several tickets at the same time and through the same distribution channel according to the timetable proposed by the carrier, resulting in a single payment. A transaction shall not be deemed to be a single commercial transaction, even if a single payment has been made, if a passenger

• divides what is intended to be a continuous journey into separate segments and/or
• does not observe the connection times between the individual travel segments proposed in the timetable offer.

A.1.4.1.1.7Transfers between stations in the same metropolitan area by means of transport other than rail (bus, tram, metro, taxi, bicycle) or on foot are not covered by the rail transport contract and are subject to the legal provisions applicable to the means of transport in question.

A.1.4.1.1.8Carriage by another mode of transport before or after carriage by rail, or between two rail transport services, is subject to a single contract of carriage only if it is represented by one ticket, without prejudice to point 3.6, or if it is provided for in the special conditions of carriage of the carrier(s) concerned.

A.1.5.1In general

A.1.5.1.1.1Carriers or their associations deter-mine the design of tickets and the languages and characters to be used to print and fill them out.

A.1.5.1.1.2E-tickets are subject to special condi-tions of carriage. The details contained in the e-ticket can be transformed into legible written symbols.

A.1.5.1.1.3As a rule, tickets are to indicate the carrier(s) taking part in the perform-ance of the contract of carriage, the issuer of the ticket, the route, the fare, the period of validity of the ticket, the conditions of carriage applicable and, where appropriate, the name of the passenger, the date of travel, the train number and the accommodation reserved. Issuers and carriers are generally identified by codes, a list of which is available onAs a rule, tickets are to indicate the carrier(s) taking part in the perform-ance of the contract of carriage, the issuer of the ticket, the route, the fare, the period of validity of the ticket, the conditions of carriage applicable and, where appropriate, the name of the passenger, the date of travel, the train number and the accommodation reserved. Issuers and carriers are generally identified by codes, a list of which is available onhttps://www.cit-rail.org/and www.railpassenger.info.

A.1.5.1.1.4The special conditions of carriage specify the conditions under which reservations may be optional or compulsory.

A.1.5.1.1.5The special conditions of carriage specify the conditions and arrange-ments for reductions (e.g. for children, groups, etc.).

A.1.5.1.1.6Passengers are entitled to take their bicycles with them on the train, where applicable for a reasonable fare, subject to restrictions for safety or operational reasons, in particular due to capacity limitations at peak times, or when the rolling stock does not allow it, or when the carrier decides to restrict the carriage of bicycles according to the weight and dimensions of the bicycles concerned.

A.1.5.2Purchase

A.1.5.2.1.1Tickets are sold either directly by the carrier’s sales points or indirectly by authorised sales points. Where carriers who are not taking part in the perform-ance of the contract of carriage or third parties (e.g. travel agencies) sell tick-ets, they act as agents and accept no liability resulting from the contract of carriage.

A.1.5.2.1.2If there is no point of sale or barrier-free ticket vending machine at the departure station and there is no other barrier-free option to purchase a transport ticket in advance, passengers with disabilities are permitted to purchase the transport ticket on the train at no extra charge. Carriers may, for reasonable safety reasons or because of the reservation requirement, limit or deny this right in the special conditions of carriage. If there is no staff on the train, carriers will advise the person with a disability whether they need to buy a ticket and, if so, how to do so.

A.1.5.2.1.3Tickets which are not made out in the passenger’s name are transferable if the journey has not begun. Tickets must not be sold for profit by passengers.

A.1.5.2.1.4If the fare can be paid for in a currency other than the national currency of the carrier or other than a currency used by the carrier, details of the currency and the rate of exchange are to be published in accordance with the carrier’s regulations.

A.1.5.2.1.5Conditions for the return and exchange of tickets and refunds of fares – except in the case of train cancellations or delays (point A.1.10.1.1.1 below) – are deter-mined by the carriers’ special condi-tions of carriage which state any charges payable. As a rule, exchange is treated as cancellation of the original contract of carriage and conclusion of a new one. Return, exchange or refund of tickets which are illegible or dam-aged may be refused. Refunds will be made using the same method used for payment for the ticket or, if appropriate, as a voucher.

A.1.5.2.1.6Subject to the national law applicable, passengers who abuse the e-ticketing systems may not be permitted to continue to use e-ticketing systems and home printing functions.

A.1.5.2.1.7Lost or stolen tickets will neither be replaced nor refunded.

A.1.6.1Before the journey

A.1.6.1.1.1Passengers must pay fares in advance and ensure that tickets are made out in accordance with their instructions.

A.1.6.1.1.2Unless specified otherwise in the special conditions of carriage, passengers are not entitled to any reduction in the fare once the ticket has been purchased.

A.1.6.1.1.3The special conditions of carriage specify if passengers must validate tickets themselves before boarding.

A.1.6.1.1.4Tickets are not valid if any endorse-ments which passengers are required to make are missing, if passengers have failed to validate their tickets as required or if the tickets have been altered after issue or falsified. The special conditions of carriage specify the procedure to be adopted in these cases.

A.1.6.1.1.5If the electronic data or the security certificate in e-tickets is not readable, passengers have to purchase new tickets. Passengers may send these e-tickets to the issuer for resolution or refund.

A.1.6.1.1.6The special conditions of carriage specify if and under what conditions children may travel alone.

A.1.6.2During the journey

A.1.6.2.1.1Passengers must board trains before the departure time shown in the published timetable so that trains can depart on time. If passengers do not board before the departure time of the train or, where appropriate, within the time period preceding departure and shown in the special conditions of carriage, travel on the train will not be guaranteed.

A.1.6.2.1.2Passengers must hold tickets valid throughout the whole journey. Passengers must show tickets to rail staff on demand and retain them until leaving the destination station. Passengers without valid tickets may have to pay a surcharge in addition to the fare itself, failing which they may be required to discontinue their journey.

A.1.6.2.1.3Passengers with special tickets (e.g. made out in the passenger’s name, issued at a reduced fare, e-tickets, or tickets paid for in particular ways) must be able to prove their identity and entitlement at any time in accordance with the special conditions of carriage.

A.1.6.2.1.4Rail staff may retain tickets for audit purposes. In these cases, passengers are given replacement tickets or receipts.

A.1.6.2.1.5Subject to the special conditions of carriage, passengers may not break and resume their journeys at will.

A.1.6.2.1.6Tickets entitle passengers to carriage in the class of travel indicated and to the accommodation which the passen-ger has reserved (if any). The special conditions of carriage cover cases where only a lower class of travel is offered over a section of the journey. Reserved accommodation must be claimed within fifteen minutes of departure of the train from the station from which the reservation was made or the passenger may lose his claim to the accommodation.

A.1.6.2.1.7Passengers may only occupy one seat. Accommodation reserved for persons with reduced mobility or for families with children is to be given up.

A.1.6.2.1.8Passengers must follow instructions given by the carriers’ staff, the station managers’ staff and the infrastructure managers’ staff. In particular, passengers must observe the regulations for the use of premises and facilities and any special conditions for accessing trains.

A.1.6.2.1.9The passenger must comply with all customs, police, health and other administrative regulations, including visa requirements. If the carrier bears the costs of the return journey or any stay before the return journey of passengers without valid entry documents, its rights of recourse against such passengers shall remain unaffected. In the case of such passengers, the carrier may refuse to refund the unused part of the ticket for the originally intended journey on the basis of the Special Conditions of Carriage.

A.1.6.2.1.10Smoking is not permitted in non-smoking areas, even if the other passengers have given their consent.

A.1.6.2.1.11Carriers may penalise the misuse of alarm and emergency equipment in accordance with the national law applicable.

A.1.6.2.1.12Passengers who present a risk to the safety of operations or other passengers, or who inconvenience other passengers in an unacceptable manner, may be excluded from carriage and will not be entitled to a refund of their fare.

A.1.7.1.1.1Passengers may take hand luggage with them. The hand luggage must be easy to handle, associated with a purpose of their journey and capable of being fitted into luggage spaces. Passengers must supervise their hand luggage and label it if required by other regulations. Hand luggage must not inconvenience other passengers or rail operations, nor cause damage, for example, to other passengers, other hand luggage or rail equipment. The special conditions of carriage specify the penalties that may be applied in these cases.

A.1.7.1.1.2The Regulation concerning the Inter-national Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail (RID – Appendix C to COTIF) and in particular Chapter 1.1.3.8 of its annex (www.otif.org) apply to the carriage of dangerous goods. In general only substances and articles which are packaged for retail sale and intended for personal or domestic use or for leisure or sporting activities are permitted.

A.1.7.1.1.3Taking weapons and ammunition in trains is prohibited. The special condi-tions of carriage specify the exceptions and the procedures in those cases.

A.1.7.1.1.4Lost property is to be reported to rail staff immediately. The carrier may examine unsupervised hand luggage including its contents and remove it from the train and destroy it if the carrier or the authorities consider it necessary for the safety of operations or passengers.

A.1.7.1.1.5If there are designated parking spaces for bicycles on the train, passengers must leave their bicycles there. Whether or not such spaces are available, passengers must supervise their bicycles and use their best endeavours to ensure that their bicycles do not cause injury or damage to other passengers, mobility aids and luggage are not damaged and operation of the train is not disrupted. The Special Conditions of Carriage apply to the carriage of bicycles as hand luggage.

A.1.8.1.1.1Passengers may take animals in trains only in so far as the carriers allow it. If the carriers do allow it, the special conditions of carriage apply.

A.1.8.1.1.2Subject to the law applicable, no restrictions apply to blind and disabled persons’ assistance dogs which are recognisable as such.

A.1.9.1.1.1If carriers offer the carriage of regis-tered luggage and vehicles, the special conditions of carriage apply.

A.1.10.1Train cancellations and anticipated delays

A.1.10.1.1.1If the train is cancelled or delayed, or if a passenger has made a reservation for a bicycle and the carriage of the bicycle is refused without justifiable cause, and if, according to the carrier’s experience, it can be objectively assumed that the destination according to the transport contract will be reached with a delay of 60 minutes or more, the passenger may, under the conditions set out in Section A.1.10.3.1.1 below:

• demand reimbursement of the carriage charge for the journey not undertaken or for the part of the journey not undertaken and/or the part of the journey undertaken but no longer serving any purpose as well as return transport free of charge to the place of departure, or
• continue their journey at the next opportunity or at another time that suits the passenger, if necessary with a different route.

A.1.10.1.1.2It is the carrier’s responsibility to provide alternative transport for onward travel or return to the point of departure. With the carrier’s prior consent, the passenger shall be entitled to make their own arrangements for onward carriage, and the carrier shall reimburse the passenger for any expenses thereby incurred.

In addition, if the carrier does not inform the passenger within 100 minutes of the scheduled departure time of the delayed or cancelled train or of the missed connection of the available means of onward transport, the passenger has the right to organise their own onward transport, but only with public transport operators by rail, coach or bus. The carrier will then reimburse the passenger for the necessary, reasonable and appropriate costs incurred.

A.1.10.1.1.3If passengers’ tickets are also valid for the return journey and if they use them in accordance with their travel plans, only that part of the total fare which corresponds to the outward journey will be refunded.

A.1.10.2Delays sustained

A.1.10.2.1.1If passengers do not claim under point A.1.10.1.1.1 above and reach the destina-tion point specified in their contract with 60 minutes or more of delay, carriers will compensate them with 25% of the fare calculated in accor-dance with point A.1.10.3.1.1 below. For delays of 120 minutes or more, the compensation will be 50% of the fare calculated in accordance with point A.1.10.3.1.1 below. Points A.1.10.5.1.1 and A.1.10.5.1.2 below still apply.

A.1.10.2.1.2Rail staff on the train which was delayed, or any other authorised staff, will provide passengers with confirmation of the delay on demand.

A.1.10.3Handling of refunds and compensation

A.1.10.3.1.1The price shown on the ticket, or the aggregate of the prices of the tickets constituting a single contract of carriage, shall be the basis for the calculation of compensation. Discounted and promotional offers, tickets with integrated reservation, season tickets and other rail transport passes are subject to the Special Conditions of Carriage.

A.1.10.3.1.2The applicable fare for refunds and compensation includes ancillary costs (reservations, surcharges, etc.) but excludes any service charges.

A.1.10.3.1.3The carrier may provide refunds and compensation in the form of vouchers. These can usually only be redeemed with the issuing carrier and/or for the specified transport service. At the passenger’s request, the carrier shall pay the refund and compensation in money in the manner determined by the carrier, e.g. by bank transfer, credit note or in cash.

A.1.10.3.1.4Compensation and refunds shall be settled within one month of being claimed from the competent body (point A.1.15.2.1.1 below). As a rule, amounts of less than EUR 4 are not paid out. Any transfer costs shall be borne by the carrier.

A.1.10.4Non-continuation of the journey the same day

A.1.10.4.1.1If the passenger is unable to continue their journey on the same day in accordance with the contract of carriage due to cancellation, delay or missed connection, or if the passenger has made a reservation for a bicycle and has been refused carriage of the bicycle without justifiable cause, or if it is unreasonable to expect them to continue their journey under the given circumstances, the carrier shall, subject to Section A.1.10.5.1.3, reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred in notifying waiting persons, and

• is responsible for providing suitable accommodation, including the necessary transfer, or
• reimburses the costs of appropriate accommodation, including the necessary transfer.

In cases where accommodation is required due to the circumstances mentioned in Section A.1.10.5.1.3, the carrier may limit the duration of accommodation to a maximum of three nights.

The carrier may offer transport by other means of transport (bus, metro, taxi, etc.).

A.1.10.5Relief from liability for delays

A.1.10.5.1.1The carrier shall be relieved of its liability for delays suffered (Section A.1.10.2 above) in so far as they are due to transport services which:

• were performed entirely outside the territory of an EU Member State, Switzerland, and Norway;
• were partially performed outside the territory of an EU Member State, Switzerland, and Norway, provided that the delay occurred outside one of these states;
• are exempt from the PRR;
• do not form part of the transport contract (bus, tram, metro, taxi, bicycle between stations in the same metropolitan area);
• were performed by other modes of transport (aviation, bus transport or maritime and inland waterway transport): In this case, each carrier’s liability for delays shall be governed by the rules applicable to it.

A.1.10.5.1.2Furthermore, the carrier is exempt from liability for delays suffered (Section A.1.10.2 above) if the passenger was informed of possible delays before purchasing the ticket or if, when continuing the journey with another transport service or on another route, the delay on arrival at the destination in accordance with the contract of carriage is less than 60 minutes.

A.1.10.5.1.3The carrier is released from the liability to pay compensation (Section A.1.10.2.1.1 above) if the incident is due to:

• circumstances not connected with the operation of the railway, which the carrier, in spite of having taken the care required in the particular circumstances of the case, was not able to avoid and the consequences of which it was unable to avert;
• fault of the passenger;
• behaviour of a third person, which the carrier, in spite of having taken the care required in the particular circumstances of the case, was not able to avoid and the consequences of which it was unable to avert; the infrastructure operator or another company using the same railway infrastructure shall not be considered third parties;

A.1.11.1.1.1If the train is delayed for 60 minutes or more, carriers take all reasonable and proportionate action to assist passengers. As far as possible and having regard to the waiting time, this action will include the provision of refreshments and meals and, in accordance with point A.1.10.4 above, the provision of accommodation and the organisation of alternative means of transport. Special attention will be paid to the needs of persons with reduced mobility.

A.1.12.1.1.1The carrier’s liability in the event of death of or personal injury to passengers shall be governed by the CIV Uniform Rules, without prejudice to applicable national law granting passengers more extensive compensation. For inland transport in non-EU Member States, liability shall be governed by the applicable national law. Subject to Article 31 CIV, the liability of maritime carriers is governed by the applicable maritime law.

A.1.12.1.1.2The carrier liable in accordance with Article 56 § 1 together with Article 26 § 5 CIV is to make appropriate advance payments to passengers or their dependents to cover immediate economic needs in the event of the death or injury of a passenger in an EU Member State if the transport service in question has not been exempted from the PRR. An amount of EUR 21 000 per passenger will be paid in advance in the event of death. In the event of injury, relevant and reason-able costs of up to EUR 21 000 per passenger will be paid in advance.

A.1.12.1.1.3Advance payments do not constitute acceptance of liability for the event resulting in the loss and damage and will be offset against any subsequent compensation paid. A demand may be made for the advance payment to be returned if the loss or damage was caused wilfully or negligently by the passenger or if the recipient was not entitled to receive the payment.

A.1.12.1.1.4So far as is compatible with the protection of their interests, carriers who decline liability will provide support for pursuing claims for compensation against third parties at passengers’ request (where appropriate forwarding documents, sight of inquiry reports, supply of papers, etc.).

A.1.13.1.1.1The carrier’s liability for hand luggage and animals in the custody of passen-gers is determined by the CIV Uniform Rules, without prejudice to applicable national law granting passengers further compensation for damages. Applicable national law applies to liability for domestic carriage in non-EU Member States. Within EU Member States, Switzerland and Norway, the limits in Article 34 CIV do not apply to liability for mobility equipment for disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility.

Unless otherwise provided for in this chapter, the rights and obligations set out in this document also apply to persons with disabilities or persons with reduced mobility.

A.1.14.1Application deadline for assistance

A.1.14.1.1.1Persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility must communicate their need for assistance at least 24 hours prior to the start of the journey. If national law permits an extension of the registration period referred to in the first sentence, carriers may, in their special conditions of carriage, provide for a longer registration period not exceeding 36 hours.

A.1.14.1.1.2They must follow the carrier’s instructions in order to benefit from the assistance provided in accordance with the carrier’s access rules.

A.1.14.1.1.3Where appropriate, the carrier may also allow shorter notification periods.

A.1.14.2Conditions of travel

A.1.14.2.1.1If the carrier requires a passenger to be accompanied on the train, the accompanying person shall be entitled to travel free of charge and, if possible, to a seat next to the person with disabilities or the person with reduced mobility.

A.1.14.2.1.2Depending on the provisions of state law, they may be allowed to be accompanied by an assistance dog.

A.1.14.2.1.3If trained staff are on duty, the carrier or station manager shall provide free assistance at staffed stations at the point of departure, transfer and destination to enable the person with a ticket to board and disembark the train and to transfer to a connecting train.

A.1.14.2.1.4In unstaffed stations, the carrier will provide free assistance on the train and when boarding and disembarking from the train by trained staff on the train.

A.1.14.3Assistance in the event of delays or train cancellations

A.1.14.3.1.1In the event of delays or cancellation of trains in accordance with Section A.1.10, persons with disabilities or reduced mobility, including their assistance dogs where appropriate, shall receive special attention:

• the possibility for persons with disabilities or reduced mobility to continue their journey by means of transport services appropriate to their needs and, where appropriate, different from assistance provided to other passengers;
• offer of accommodation that takes their needs into account.

A.1.14.4Compensation for mobility aids, assistive devices and assistance dogs

A.1.14.4.1.1If the carrier causes the loss of or damage to mobility aids, including wheelchairs and assistive devices, or the loss of or injury to assistance dogs used by persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility, it shall be liable for such loss, damage or injury and shall compensate for it without delay.

A.1.14.4.1.2This compensation includes:

• the cost of replacing or repairing damaged or lost mobility aids or assistive devices,
• the cost of replacing or treating a lost or injured assistance dog;
• reasonable costs for a temporary replacement of mobility aids, assistive devices or assistance dogs, if the carrier does not provide for this replacement itself.

A.1.15.1Claims for personal injury

A.1.15.1.1.1The person entitled must address claims relating to the liability of the carrier in the case of the death of, or personal injury to, passengers in writing to the carrier having performed the part of the carriage on which the accident happened, within twelve months of becoming aware of the loss or damage. If this part of the carriage was not provided by the carrier, but by a substitute carrier, then the person entitled may address his claim to that substitute carrier instead.

A.1.15.1.1.2If the carriage was the subject of a single contract and was performed by successive carriers, the claim may be addressed to the first carrier or the last carrier or to that carrier who has his principal place of business or the branch or office which concluded the contract of carriage in the state where the passenger is domiciled or habitually resident.

A.1.15.2Other claims and complaints

A.1.15.2.1.1Other grievances and complaints must be submitted by the entitled person in writing to the issuing company or a carrier involved in the performance of the contract of carriage within 3 months of the end of the journey. The passenger must present the original ticket and all other relevant documents (e.g. carrier’s certificate of delay).

A.1.15.2.1.2Carriers to whom the claims or complaints are submitted will provide reasoned replies to passengers within one month of receiving them. If appropriate, carriers will pass claims or complaints on to the issuing undertaking, informing passengers that they have done so at the same time. Carriers to whom the claims or complaints are submitted or the issuing undertaking will then provide passengers with definitive replies within three months of receiving their claims or complaints.

A.1.15.2.1.3The carrier will keep the data necessary to process the complaint until the procedure has been completed.

A.1.15.2.1.4Details of specialist departments, their addresses and their working lan-guages, are shown onhttps://www.cit-rail.org/ and on www.railpassenger.info. They may also be obtained from the websites of undertakings which apply the GCC-CIV/PRR and as a rule from their sales points providing customer advice.

A.1.16.1Undertakings against which an action may be brought

A.1.16.1.1.1An action based on the liability of the carrier in the event of the death of, or personal injury to, passengers may only be brought against the carrier having performed the part of the carriage on which the accident happened. If this part of carriage was not provided by the carrier, but by a substitute carrier, then the person entitled may address his claim to that substitute carrier instead.

A.1.16.1.1.2An action for the recovery of a sum paid for the contract of carriage may be brought against the carrier who has collected that sum or against the carrier on whose behalf it was collected.

A.1.16.1.1.3An action for refund and compensation for delays and other actions made on the basis of the contract of carriage may only be brought against the first or the last carrier or the carrier having performed the part of the carriage on which the event giving rise to the proceedings occurred.

A.1.16.1.1.4Article 56 § 3 CIV applies to claims for registered luggage and vehicles made on the basis of the contract of carriage.

A.1.16.1.1.5If the person entitled has a choice between several undertakings, his right to choose is extinguished as soon as he brings an action against one of them.

A.1.16.2Extinction and limitation of actions

A.1.16.2.1.1The time limits for the expiry of claims and the limitation period in accordance with Articles 58 to 60 CIV apply to all claims for damages based on the liability of the carrier in the event of death or injury and the carriage of baggage (three years for claims for damages based on the liability of the carrier in the event of death or injury; one year for claims based on the carriage of baggage). The limitation period for claims based on the contract of carriage (for example with regard to delays, missed connections and train cancellations) is governed by the carrier’s special terms and conditions or by national law.

A.1.16.3Jurisdiction

A.1.16.3.1.1Legal actions based on the contract of carriage may only be brought before the courts and tribunals of the Member States of the Intergovernmental Organisation for International Carriage by Rail (OTIF) or of the EU on whose territory the defendant has his domicile or habitual residence, his principal place of business or the branch or office which concluded the contract of carriage. Actions may not be brought before other courts or tribunals.

A.1.16.3.2Applicable law

A.1.16.3.2.1If the national laws of several states are applicable, the law of the state in which the person entitled asserts his rights, including the rules relating to conflict of laws is applicable.

A.3.1.1Performing carrier

A.3.1.1.1.1A carrier that has not concluded the contract of carriage with the passenger, but to whom the carrier has assigned the performance of all or part of the contract of carriage by rail. See Article 3b CIV. Auxiliary carriers are not listed with their 4-digit RICS code on the tickets. The performing carrier is not liable in PRR cases. It is jointly and severally liable with the contractual carrier in the event of death or injury of passengers (Article 26 § 5 CIV) or in the event of the carriage of luggage – including on motorail trains – (Article 39 § 4 CIV).

A.3.1.2Issuing company

A.3.1.2.1.1Company that issues a ticket and usually receives payment. May also be the same legal entity acting as carrier and/or distributor. The issuing company is responsible for processing applications for reimbursement or compensation in the event of delays. The issuing company is indicated on the ticket with its (RICS) code and, if applicable, its logo or abbreviation. As a rule, a company is responsible for inventory control when issuing paper tickets.

A.3.1.3Special conditions of international carriage (SCIC)

A.3.13.1.1.3Carriers are to publish details of fares in accordance with the provisions of the applicable national law.

A.3.13.2Calculation of fares

A.3.13.2.1.1Fares are calculated on the basis of the tariff valid on the day of issue of the ticket by adding together the fares for the various participating carriers’ sections. The tariff currency is euro (€).

A.3.13.2.1.2The fare set by the carrier will be charged for single journeys.

A.3.13.2.1.3For return journeys via the same route, twice the fare for the single journey will be charged, or if appropriate, a special fare set by the carrier for the complete return journey.

A.3.13.2.1.4For return journeys via different routes:

• If the same carrier is used for the out- and inbound journey, the sum of the fares for the single journeys out- and inbound will be charged, provided there is no special fare for the complete return journey;
• If different carriers are used for the out- and inbound journey, the fare for each leg will be set by the carrier in question.

A.3.13.2.1.5For return journeys where the inbound journey starts from a point different from the destination of the outbound journey or an inbound journey to a destination other than the departure point of the outbound journey, the sum of the single fares for each leg will be charged.

A.3.13.2.1.6Domestic tickets sold abroad may be subject to special rules for charging, as set out in their Special Conditions of Carriage.

A.3.13.3Particular fees

A.3.13.3.1.1The fees and charges (local supplements, port taxes, etc.) shown in the special conditions of carriage of the various carriers will be added to the standard fares. Reductions allowed from standard fares (including reductions for children) do not apply to additional fees and charges subject to the carriers’ special conditions of carriage providing otherwise.

A.3.13.3.1.2Exclusive use of a complete compartment is permitted provided tickets and a reser-vation ticket are bought for all the accommodation in the compartment. Only the actual passengers may take advantage of the reductions they may be entitled to. The standard fare is to be paid for all the other accommodation in the compartment.

A.3.13.3.1.3Carriers may restrict use of this type of fees, refuse it or make it subject to special conditions.

A.3.13.4Reduction for children

A.3.13.4.1In general

A.3.13.4.1.1The principles for reductions for children are set down below. For children travelling alone, the lowest age limit applies.

A.3.13.4.1.2For the purposes of this provision, the criterion for the age of a child is its age on the day the journey has begun. The ticket held by the accompanying person is valid for the carriage of children free-of-charge.

A.3.13.4.1.3Children under four years of age accompanied by an adult are carried free-of-charge if there is no request for separate accommodation.

A.3.13.4.1.4For children aged 4 and over, the provisions of Section A.3.13.4.2 apply.

A.3.13.4.1.5For children, who are generally transported free of charge, only the fee for a seat reservation under the same conditions as for adults is payable if they will be sitting in their own seat. Exceptions to this rule are laid out in Section A.3.13.4.1 This provision furthermore does not apply to PKP, BC, RZD/FPC and UZ.
