2.9 The applicant and/or member recognizes and accepts being solely responsible for any sum of money, be it in the form of taxes, fees, dues, or any other, that must be paid to any individual or legal entity, public or private, as a result of earning or using LANPASS kilometers or as a consequence of his or her admission to the LANPASS Program, or of the use of any of its Awards or Benefits.

3.1 A member's participation in the LANPASS Program will end in the following cases:
3.1.1 If the member fails to comply with any of the terms and conditions here referred to.

4.3 The above-mentioned, notwithstanding the member's loss of his or her membership in accordance with the present regulation.
5. MEMBERSHIP CARD OR LANPASS CARD
5.1 The LANPASS membership card has an indefinite duration. However, the Premium, Premium Silver, and Commodore LANPASS membership card duration varies depending on its corresponding member category, as specified in the Program's details at www.lan.com. These cards can be renewed in accordance with paragraph 6. For the effects of the present regulation, the "calendar year" starts on January 1st and ends on December 31st of each year.
5.2 The cards issued by Partner Companies will be valid according to the terms and conditions of the respective company, while also being subject to the present regulation whenever pertinent.
5.3 The person whose name appears on the member card is the only person who has the right to use it, for any given purpose.
5.4 The membership card is not a credit card or a document that certifies identity, therefore it does not grant any more rights than those indicated in the present regulation.
5.5 All membership cards are the exclusive property of LANPASS.
5.6 In case of loss or theft of the membership card, the member must communicate it immediately to a LAN office, in person or by telephone. Once the case has been evaluated by LAN, a new card can be issued within 30 days.
6.1 The LANPASS Program has four membership categories: a) LANPASS, b) Premium, c) Premium Silver, and d) Commodore. Only the last three have an associated membership card.
6.2 The different membership categories are determined by observance of the requirements established for each category, which are described in the LANPASS section of the www.lan.com website.
6.3 A member's corresponding category is determined by: the number of kilometers flown on fares that earn kilometers on LAN or any of the Oneworld Associated Airlines, as well as the bonuses earned by members for service class on LAN flights (executive or first class). The latter is on condition that the member has flown a minimum of four segments with LAN. The category can also be determined by the number of segments flown on LAN on fares that earn kilometers. Any of the above conditions must be met within a calendar year.
The Commodore and Premium Silver categories are determined by a smaller amount of kilometers, of which a certain number of segments must be flown on LAN long range flights in Executive or First Class. The detail of flights defined as long range and the amount of kilometers required for each category can be found at www.lan.com.
6.4 The LANPASS kilometers earned with Partner Companies and/or Associated Airlines will not be taken into account to determine a membership category (unless otherwise specified).
6.5 Likewise, segments flown using Award-tickets or any other ticket that does not qualify to earn LANPASS kilometers will not be taken into account to determine a membership category.
6.6 The member's permanence within a certain category corresponds to the following year and what remains of the year during which he or she met the necessary requirements to qualify for such a category.
6.7 LANPASS will be able to, at its discretion, maintain or upgrade a member's category, even when he or she has not met all the necessary requirements for it, but will never be able to downgrade the category as long as the member meets the requirements established to remain within it.
6.8 If a member does not meet the requirements necessary to renew his or her category, the following year he or she will belong to the category directly preceding the one he or she belonged to, even if the member does not meet the conditions to qualify for it.
6.9 As of 2004, renewals will take effect on March 31st of each year, taking into account the requirements met by the member during the preceding calendar year.
6.10 Changes in membership category will not affect the balance of kilometers that can be redeemed for Awards and vice versa.
7.1 Kilometers are the unit of measurement of the LANPASS Program.
7.2 Kilometers present the following characteristics and are subject to the following terms:
7.2.1 They have no commercial value, are non-negotiable, and cannot be exchanged for money or any other goods.
7.2.2 They are non-transferable, whether free of cost or against payment.
7.2.3 They are non-transmissible. In the event of the member's death, the account and its associated earned kilometers will be cancelled.
7.2.4 They cannot be seized, being considered rights whose exercise is entirely personal.
7.2.5 They are not subject to legal dispute or judicial measures of any sort, and belong only to the account holder, as a personal right.
7.2.6 The Awards redeemed by the member are non-refundable and only allow for returns in kilometers, if no segment has been flown and the Award's kilometers are still valid.
7.2.7 The Awards are non-endorsable, so that they cannot be used on airlines other than LAN or the Associated Airlines, or by persons other than those designated by the member, depending on the Award redeemed. Once an award ticket has been issued, it can only be used on the airline indicated on it.
8.1 Kilometers will be credited whenever the member travels on LAN or Associated Airline flights, as long as these are operated by them, or else, whenever he or she uses the services of any of the Partner Companies. If the member belongs to the LANPASS Program as well as to the equivalent Program of an Associated Airline or Partner Company, the kilometers will only be credited to one of the accounts, of the member's choice. Under no circumstances will kilometers be credited to more than one account. The member must give his or her membership number, which must appear on the boarding pass.
All flights operated by any airline that uses, for whatever reason, LAN's code on its ticket will be considered a valid flight for earning kilometers and qualifying for Premium, Premium Silver, and Commodore categories, as long as it has been flown on fares, routes, and dates that allow for accrual of LANPASS kilometers.
8.2 Taking into account restrictions established by the Associated Airlines, the means to earn kilometers and amount of kilometers earned per flight flown on such airlines will not necessarily coincide with those established by LAN for its flights and will depend on the fare restrictions or the conditions fixed by the specific Associated Airline. There could be fares or flights that allow for earning only a percentage of the distance flown, or other restrictions. The member is responsible for ascertaining the amount of kilometers to be earned for flights flown with Associated Airlines.
8.3 Third-party flights operated by LAN do not earn kilometers. Neither do those marketed by Oneworld airlines and operated by a third party.
8.4 Kilometers flown before registering for the Program can only be credited if the flights were LAN and no more than two months prior to the date of registration.
8.5 Kilometers will be credited to the member's account only after completion of the trip and payment for the respective ticket has been made. Therefore, kilometers will not be earned for tickets that have been acquired but not flown or paid. In view of the above- mentioned, the member must keep and hand in, if requested, documents that prove the flight has been taken (ticket and boarding pass).
8.6 Kilometers earned through services rendered by Associated Airlines or Partner Companies will be credited to the member's account only after the respective airline or company has submitted the information requested by LAN for such effects, which, in general, will take place no more than 30 days following the date when such services were rendered.
8.7 The kilometers earned correspond to the distance between the flight's origin and destination, based on distances provided by IATA.
The above notwithstanding, and as a temporary or permanent measure, LANPASS can credit the distance between the origin and destination with additional kilometers.
8.8 The kilometers earned on LAN flights are valid for 36 consecutive months, starting from the date of the flight. In every case, the kilometers will effectively expire on the last day of the month that corresponds to the expiration month.
Kilometers earned from Associated Airline flights, services rendered by Partner Companies, or promotional bonuses are valid for 3 calendar years, which means they expire on December 31st of the third year from when they were earned.
However, each time a passenger flies with LAN and earns 1 or more kilometers for that flight, all the valid kilometers in the account up to the date of the flight will be renewed automatically. Thus, they will be valid for 36 consecutive months counting from the date of said flight and will effectively expire on the last day of the 36th month.
In any case, following the rules set forth in the preceding paragraphs, and depending on which benefits the member the most, kilometers earned before May 1st, 1998 will be valid until December 31st of the third year in which they were effectively flown.
LANPASS is not responsible for informing kilometer expiration dates, in accordance with the expiration rules herein established.
8.9 All kilometers appearing on the account statement can be redeemed for Awards. Kilometers flown on LAN and Oneworld Airlines, including bonuses for LAN service class, are also used to determine LANPASS membership category.
8.10 LANPASS Program Award-tickets flown on LAN or any of the Associated Airlines, as well as Awards corresponding to Partner Company services, do not accrue kilometers.
Likewise, tickets issued at reduced fares in the travel industry, charter flights, airline employee tickets, government discounts, free tickets, or any other ticket that does not have a published fare do not earn kilometers. Exclusion of any other type of ticket is at LANPASS's exclusive discretion, and will be adequately and timely informed to the members.
8.11 Tickets endorsed to other companies by LAN will earn the equivalent kilometers, as if they had been effectively flown on LAN, only in case of an involuntary event. Tickets endorsed by Associated or Oneworld Airlines to a third party do not earn kilometers.
8.12 In case of a class Upgrade obtained as an Award or by courtesy of LAN or any of the Associated Airlines or Partner Companies, only the kilometers corresponding to the class paid by the member will be credited to the account, and not those corresponding to the class which he or she was upgraded to.
8.13 It is the member's sole responsibility to verify that the kilometers corresponding to his or her flights with LAN and/or Associated Airlines, as well as those resulting from Partner Company services, are correctly credited to his or her account.
To do so, and in order to claim credit for kilometers retroactively, the member must keep all the flight documents (boarding passes, passenger's ticket receipt) as well as original invoices or contracts. In no case will kilometers be accrued after (1) one year from the flight date or the acts that generated them, unless the Partner Companies allow so for kilometers earned through them.
8.14 LANPASS reserves the right to audit a member's account at any time and without prior notice, in order to ensure compliance with the present terms and conditions. LANPASS will be able to discount kilometers improperly credited to a member, as well as delay delivery of Awards or certificates as long as any discrepancy is being resolved, while duly informing the member.
8.15 If a ticket that earns LANPASS kilometers is purchased on credit or its payment is deferred in time, the member will be able to redeem an Award using any kilometers, whether they correspond to such a ticket or any other, as long as the respective tickets are being paid in the manner and time frame agreed upon when the ticket was purchased.
9.1 In order to request an Award, the Member must have a valid membership number and the amount of kilometers necessary to redeem the Award requested. The amount of kilometers necessary to access an Award will be the one indicated in the Award Table valid at the time of the request.
9.2 Given that the Awards are subject to seat availability on each flight, prior to requesting the award-ticket the member must make a valid reservation, expressly indicating that it refers to a LANPASS Award. Reservations made without indicating the above will not be valid for such a purpose.
9.3 To request an Award, the member can call the LANPASS call-center, redeem the Award online through the website, or go directly to a LAN office and present a document that certifies his or her identity.
9.4 To redeem a LANPASS Award-ticket as defined in the previous clause, as of January 1 st , 2007, the member must pay a LANPASS Service Fee for each ticket issued. Awards redeemed through www.lan.com will be free of the Service Fee. It is understood that such a fee will be charged in addition to boarding and other taxes, and will vary depending on the Award redeemed, according to the following table at www.lan.com.
9.5 In every case, the request for an Award can be made by any person, as long as they present a power of proxy adequately signed by the member and clearly indicating his or her full name, membership number and/or I.D. number, as well as the Award requested, and also attaching a photocopy of a document that certifies the member's identity (passport or other valid identity document).
9.6 Award-tickets are valid for one year starting from their date of issue on International Routes and six months on domestic routes.
9.7 Award-tickets are "round-trip" tickets. Therefore, if the member uses an award ticket only one way, neither kilometers nor money will be returned for the unused segment.
9.8 The member can grant the Award to another person in writing at no additional charge.
9.9 Award-tickets must be issued a maximum of 3 days after the reservation has been made. Past this deadline, the reservation will be automatically cancelled with no right to later claims. If less than 3 days remain for the flight's departure, the ticket must be issued immediately as reservations for said Award-ticket will not be permitted by then.
If the above-mentioned is not carried out accordingly, the reservation associated with the Award could be automatically cancelled with no right to later claims.
9.10 LANPASS reserves the right to retain an Award in case any irregularities in its use are detected. Any breach of the present terms and conditions may result in the refusal to issue an Award, cancellation of the kilometers, and/or termination of the member's participation in the Program.
9.11 If an Award is issued with erroneous information or without having the necessary kilometers for such an Award owing to false information or system errors, the member could be forced to pay the Award's full normal fare.
9.12 The member can request the re-issue of any Award, as long as it has not been used at all. No re-issues will be possible for the remainder of an Award once it has been partly used. In cases of an Award being re-issued its validity will not be extended, consequently, the validity of a re-issued Award will be the same as that of the original Award.
9.13 In the event that the member requests an Award re-issue in order to request an Award that involves more or less kilometers, he or she must first return the Award that has already been redeemed and request the re-issue of a new one. Likewise, the member must pay a fee for any Award re-issue.
9.14 Members who decide to change the travel date of their reward ticket can do so at no additional cost via LAN.com. The conditions can be found in this same application and form part of the program's terms and conditions.
9.15 For all re-issues involving a change of date, route, or flight of Award-tickets previously issued, a re-issue fee will be charged. This fee varies depending on the ticket's country of issue and route. These charges are published at www.lan.com. Awards issued to be flown on Oneworld Associated Airlines do not allow changes in itinerary, airline, or previously programmed stopovers. For this type of Award, only date and/or time changes are allowed.
9.16 As of January 1st, 2007, when a member, for whatever reason, decides to return a previously issued LANPASS Award, he or she must pay a fine in kilometers, which will vary depending on the Award redeemed and according to the information published at www.lan.com. In order to be able to return an Award, the Award's conditions must allow it, the ticket must be valid and not used, and the kilometers to be redeemed must not have expired. The return can become effective through the LANPASS Call Center. After the return has taken effect, the non-expired kilometers will be returned to the member's LANPASS kilometer account.
9.17 Members must inform of any claim regarding their Account Statement within 12 months after the fact that caused it. After that deadline, claims will not be accepted.
9.18 Award-tickets are personal, have no monetary value, and are non-transferable. If, for whatever reason, an Award-ticket has not been used in whole or part, time and manner, it will lose all value.
10.1 LANPASS Awards may be subject to blackout period restrictions, which will be communicated to the members in a timely manner.
10.2 LANPASS Awards are subject to seat availability, which will be confirmed when making the corresponding reservation.
10.3 LANPASS Awards allow for one (1) stopover or one (1) open jaw on both domestic and international routes.
10.4 Issuing open Award-tickets, (without departure or arrival date) is not permitted.
10.5 Under no circumstances can Awards be used on airline companies other than those indicated on the Award.
In case of cancellation of the flight indicated on the ticket, overbooking, or any other problem of force majeure, the best efforts will be made to board the passenger on the following flight or combination of flights that will take him or her to the destination indicated on the ticket. In no case will the member be boarded on a different airline owing to these or other reasons.
10.6 In case of flights requiring connections that involve a change of aircraft, the passenger will be responsible for any associated expenses as well as stay expenses at the place of connection.
10.7 LANPASS Awards cannot be combined with other promotional offers, coupons, discounts, or special offers, and are not valid in those places forbidden by the law. In addition, they are subject to the restrictions of the air transport industry.
10.8 Awards granted correspond exclusively to the fare's net value. The passenger will be responsible for any kind of tax or duty involved in its use, including, but not limited to, the corresponding boarding tax.
10.9 The member is solely responsible for informing him or herself adequately on all the restrictions in the use of any Award at the time of its use.
11.1 Upgrade Coupons are valid up to the date indicated on them and grant the passenger an Upgrade to the cabin class immediately above on an outbound or return flight operated and sold by LAN, subject to observance of the minimum fares corresponding to the route, the amount of coupons required by the route, and seat availability when boarding.
11.2 The minimum fares required for tickets purchased are available at www.lan.com.
11.3 The Upgrade Coupon will become void in case of alteration, duplication, or improper use. It has no monetary value, will become void if it is used for any kind of exchange, and will not be replaced in case of theft or loss.
11.4 All Upgrade Coupons are for Members or their Accompanying Party. The latter can use the Upgrade Coupon as long as he or she travels with the Member (not necessarily in the same cabin class).
11.5 The passenger will be responsible for paying any taxes required to make use of the Upgrade Coupon.
12.1 Participation in the LANPASS Program is subject to the terms and conditions established hereby, which can change periodically at LAN's sole discretion.
All changes in terms and conditions will require obligatory observation by the members 30 days after their notification, by whatever means. These include the right to modify the Membership Benefits Guide, the Awards table, the way to earn kilometers and grant awards, and participation of other organizations in the Program.
12.2 LANPASS reserves the right to terminate the LANPASS Program at any time, with or without prior notice, resulting in the cancellation of all kilometers earned by the member.
However, LANPASS will make all possible efforts to previously inform its members of the Program's termination with due anticipation, so they may use any or all earned kilometers.
12.3 LANPASS will not be liable, in any event, for losses or damages resulting from the termination of the LANPASS Program, or from any changes or amendments to it.
12.4 All Awards and Benefits are subject to changes and availability, it being the member's exclusive responsibility to make the corresponding valid reservation and fulfill all the steps necessary to enjoy them.
12.5 Some Awards, Benefits, and kilometer earning opportunities are or can be provided by organizations with which LANPASS has agreements but over which LANPASS has no control.
In any case, LANPASS will try to ensure that the Awards and Benefits offered to members as available are, in fact, available. However, LANPASS does not guarantee and is not liable for the availability of such Awards and Benefits. Therefore, LANPASS is not responsible for any loss or damage that could result in the provision, or total or partial lack of provision, of any Award or Benefit.
Likewise, LANPASS will not be liable in case one such organization abandons the LANPASS Program.
