Nevertheless, failure to exhibit the baggage identification tag shall not prevent delivery, provided the baggage check is produced and the piece of baggage is identified by other means.
(c) If a person claiming the baggage is unable to produce the baggage check and identify the baggage by means of a baggage identification tag, QC will deliver the baggage to such a person only on condition that he/she establishes, to QC's satisfaction, his/her right thereto, and, if required by QC, the said person shall furnish adequate security to indemnify QC for any loss, damage or expense which may be incurred by QC, as a result of such a delivery.
(d) Acceptance of baggage by the bearer of the baggage check, without complaint at the time of delivery, is prima facie evidence that the baggage has been delivered in good condition and in accordance with the contract of carriage.

10. Animals

(a) Animals such as dogs, cats, household birds and other pets, when properly crated and accompanied by valid health and vaccination certificates, entry permits and other documents required by states of entry or transit will, with the previous agreement of QC, be accepted for carriage, subject to QC's regulations.

If due to circumstances beyond his control, QC cancels or delays a flight, is unable to provide previously confirmed space, fails to stop at a passenger's stopover or destination point, or causes the passenger to miss a connecting flight on which the passenger holds a reservation, QC shall either:
(a) Carry the passenger on another of his scheduled passenger services on which space is available ; or
(b) Reroute the passenger to the destination indicated on the ticket or applicable portion thereof by his own scheduled services of another carrier or by means of surface transportation. If the sum of the fare, excess baggage charge and any applicable service charge for the revised routing is higher than the refund value of the ticket or applicable portion thereof, QC shall require no additional fare or charge from the passenger and shall refund the difference, if the fare and charges for the revised routing are lower ; or
(c) Make a refund in accordance with the provisions of article iii herabove;

3. Information on timetables and schedules in case of successive carriers

1. If a passenger behaves himself/herself aboard the aircraft so as to endanger the aircraft or any person or property on board, or obstructs the crew in the performance of their duties, or fails to comply with any instruction of the crew, or causes other passengers to reasonably object to his/her attitude, QC may take any measure as the deems necessary to prevent continuation of such a behavior an put a restraint on the passenger, if necessary.

2. Such measures may include disembarkation of the passenger during the course of the air travel, in a scheduled or unscheduled stopover. In such a case, the passenger shall be considered as having unilaterally breached the contract of carriage.

Without QC's permission, the passenger shall not even briefly operate aboard the aircraft portable radios, electronic games or transmitting devices including, but not limited to portable or fixed telephones or recorders, radio controlled toys and walkie-talkies.
