4. Subscription
You can subscribe to the membership online at mycapricorne.air-austral.com, by phone, at Air Austral sales points, or at travel agencies, upon payment.
When a subscription is purchased at a travel agency, it may take up to 3 business days for the subscription to be activated in the member’s account.
Subscribing to the membership requires prior enrollment in the MyCapricorne loyalty program. If the customer wishing to subscribe is not yet a member of the MyCapricorne program, they must first enroll—a simple and free process—before subscribing to the membership. To this end, they agree to provide accurate personal information.
Upon subscription, payment triggers the issuance of a personalized proof of purchase, which allows the subscriber to access subscriber rates and benefits.
Regardless of the level the subscriber has reached in the MyCapricorne program, Evasion, Premium, or Exclusive, the subscriber will have only one card. Downloading this card in its digital version is required to benefit from and prove eligibility for the subscription’s benefits.
Any person subscribing to the subscription is deemed to have read and expressly accepted these Terms and Conditions in their entirety, as well as the Terms and Conditions of the MyCapricorne program.
5. Terms of Use
The subscription is non-transferable and valid only for the named subscriber. Only the subscriber may take advantage of subscriber rates and associated benefits
The subscription is valid for one year (12 months), starting from the date of payment and activation.
The subscription’s expiration date is shown on the front of the digital card in the mobile wallet. The entire trip must be completed before the subscription’s expiration date to qualify for the subscriber rate and associated benefits. If the return trip occurs after the subscription expires, the full fare will apply to that leg of the journey, and the benefits will not be available
Presentation of the MyCapricorne card is required when issuing the airline ticket at the agency (along with a valid ID), as well as to claim the associated benefits.
Fraudulent use of the subscription will immediately result in the deactivation of the subscription and the user’s MyCapricorne account, the re-pricing of the ticket to the standard fare, the cancellation of any benefits granted, and legal action.
Any change of name or personal contact information must be updated online in the MyCapricorne member area on the website mycapricorne.air-austral.com.
6. Modification and Termination of the Contract
BY AIR AUSTRAL
Air Austral reserves the right to modify subscriber fares, eligible routes, benefits, and these terms and conditions, or even to cancel the program, at any time. If so, it will notify subscribers in writing. Cancellation of the program would entitle the subscriber to a refund of the card based on its residual value.
Any publication of new terms and conditions on the company’s website is deemed to have been brought to the subscriber’s attention, and their content accepted. Otherwise, the subscriber has one month to reject the new terms and conditions and terminate their subscription.
Failure by the subscriber to comply with these terms and conditions may result in the termination of the contract by Air Austral without notice, without prejudice to legal proceedings or any possible compensation.
ON THE PART OF THE SUBSCRIBER
The subscriber may request a refund for their subscription if the remaining validity period is at least 6 months. In this case, a refund for the remaining value of the subscription will be issued, calculated on a pro rata basis based on the rate paid and the number of months remaining until the end of the validity period. Any month that has begun is considered due in full.
For a remaining term of less than 6 months, no refund will be granted.
Pursuant to Law No. 78-17 of January 6, 1978, regarding information technology, files, and civil liberties, the subscriber has the right to access and correct information concerning them contained in the subscription program’s files. This right may be exercised by contacting Air Austral, MyCapricorne Service, P.O. Box 611, 97472 Saint-Denis Cedex, Réunion.
French law shall be the sole applicable law for the performance of the contract, and the French courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute concerning this program.
