We strongly advise against engaging with Skyrights for any of our Services until you
have thoroughly read and comprehended these Terms, the Privacy Statement, and Our
Fees. If you have any questions, uncertainties, or concerns, please reach out to us at
[email protected] or refer to our FAQs.

Skyrights offers services designed to assist air passengers in managing the repercussions of flight disruptions. While these services may undergo changes periodically, they generally involve facilitating the handling of Claims on behalf of passengers before airlines. This encompasses the enforcement of air passengers' rights, including, but not limited to, claiming compensation for issues arising from delayed or canceled flights and related matters. It's important to note that Skyrights is not a law firm, and does not act as a legal representative on your behalf or directly provide legal services. However, in the course of providing our Services and in compliance with the Terms and Forms, Skyrights may engage contract lawyers or contract attorneys to aid in delivering our services. Skyrights does not assume the role of a risk bearer but functions solely as an intermediary. These Terms specifically exclude your purchase of insurance products. For terms covering the insurance product you've acquired, please refer to the policy documents, which include details about the Skyrights Third Party providing coverage in the event of damage.
After accepting these Terms, Skyrights will offer you the Eligibility Service and Information Service to assess, at its sole Discretion, whether you have an Eligible Claim. If Skyrights determines that you do, it will provide you with the Form. The Form enables Skyrights to engage on your behalf, either directly or indirectly with Lawyers, the Airline or its representatives, and/or courts to secure Flight Compensation. It's important to note that the provision of the Information Service or Eligibility Service by Skyrights does not constitute a binding offer to provide you with any other Services, including, but not limited to, the Compensation Service.
Before initiating the Compensation Service, you must:
Authorize your AH Signature on the Form, signifying that you:
Your claim may be reassigned back to you either at your request or by Skyrights’s initiative. In both instances, this reassignment will be executed in writing through a Reassignment Form, signed by both you and Skyrights. If you have previously signed an Authority Document, you retain the right to withdraw the authority granted in the Authority Document by providing written notice to Skyrights.
At any point following the signing and submission of the Form, you have the right to Withdraw and/or reassign your Claim, as detailed in the Withdrawal and Termination section below. Skyrights also reserves the right to Withdraw from the Compensation Service, as outlined in the Withdrawal and Termination section below.
If you are acting as the representative or on behalf of a passenger or passengers, you must first obtain a power of attorney to act on their behalf and furnish evidence of such upon request by Skyrights. For minor passengers, you are required to provide their complete data, including: name, birthdate of the minor, and the names and signatures of the custodians or legal guardians.
Upon notifying you in writing, as previously mentioned, Skyrights will initiate the
Compensation Service with the aim of securing Flight Compensation on your behalf. It
is your responsibility to furnish Skyrights with all necessary data or information required
for the execution of the Compensation Service. By providing this information, you
warrant that it is correct, complete, and true, and, where applicable, obtained with the
consent of Fellow Passengers.
You can submit flight data and information to Skyrights through various means,
including the website, email, other electronic or software solutions supported by
Skyrights, or by phone. Skyrights may request additional information, such as passenger
details, email address, phone number, type of disruption, reason for delay (if possible),
duration of delay, Airline name, flight number, date of the flight, departure and arrival
locations, and a description of the incident. Additional Forms may also be sent to
Skyrights through web forms or other electronic solutions, email, or postal services.
It's crucial to acknowledge that a failure to provide Skyrights with the necessary
information will adversely impact Skyrights's ability to provide the Compensation
Service.
Upon receiving your Form, Skyrights will draft a request for payment and submit it to the
Airline, handling all subsequent correspondence. For this aspect of the Compensation
Service, if Flight Compensation is paid, you will be obligated to pay Skyrights the Service
Fee. If the Airline fails to remit Flight Compensation within a reasonable period after
being notified by Skyrights, or if Skyrights, at its sole Discretion, deems that the Airline is
unlikely to respond to a payment request, Skyrights may initiate Legal Action. If Legal
Action is initiated and Flight Compensation is paid, you will be required to pay Skyrights
the Legal Action Fee in addition to the Service Fee.
In the event that a Lawyer is employed for Legal Action, you expressly consent to
Skyrights providing the Lawyer access to all data communicated to Skyrights to
facilitate Legal Action. Should additional Forms or documents be necessary for Legal
Action, you undertake to provide such documents.
If you have signed an Assignment Agreement and subsequently sign an Authority
Document (or similar), you acknowledge that the Authority Document reassigns the
Claim back to you. In cases where Skyrights or the Lawyer initiates Legal Action to
pursue a Claim, Skyrights will cover any Legal Expenses incurred during the Legal
Action, even in the event of an unfavorable outcome. If the lawsuit is won or a
settlement is reached between the Airline and Skyrights, Skyrights may cover any
additional costs not covered by the Airline. When applicable, if a lawsuit is successful, a
claim for reimbursement of Legal Expenses will be submitted. This applies to Legal
Expenses whether the legal proceedings are conducted by Skyrights or a Lawyer. For
clarity, all reimbursements, including Legal Expenses and interest, shall belong to
Skyrights. You agree and acknowledge that the final outcome of Legal Action and the
acquisition of Flight Compensation may take years.
Skyrights, at its sole Discretion, may offer or accept individual or collective Claim settlements for Flight Compensation from the Airline. You acknowledge that the decision to accept a settlement for Flight Compensation rests solely with Skyrights, given that you have assigned the Claim to Skyrights. If Skyrights acts on your behalf under an Authority Document, you authorize Skyrights to accept or reject settlement offers based on its Discretion without the need for your additional consent. Skyrights may pursue the assigned Claim in its own name, with or without the assistance of a Lawyer. Where appropriate and/or legally necessary, Skyrights may reassign the Claim to you, and you agree to reauthorize Skyrights with an Authority Document to provide the Compensation Service and collect and/or receive payments. You are responsible for providing accurate data to proceed with the Compensation Service. Skyrights shall not be held liable for any incorrect communications, documents, incorrect data/information, or fraudulent conduct provided by you. If you intentionally provide incorrect information or data, in addition to any other recourse under these Terms, you will, upon Skyrights's request, reimburse Skyrights for the Legal Expenses.
In jurisdictions where Air Passenger Rights Regulations may be less developed, and obtaining Flight Compensation is less likely, upon your decision to proceed, Skyrights may attempt to secure Flight Compensation through a Goodwill Claim. How Skyrights Makes Decisions Regarding Your Claim
"Our Fees" refers to the detailed price list encompassing all fees, charges, and prices that
Skyrights receives for providing Products and Services. Skyrights offers the Eligibility Service
and Information Service free of charge. The Compensation Service is also provided free of
charge unless Skyrights successfully obtains Flight Compensation for you. In the case of
success, Skyrights will transfer the Flight Compensation to you, subject to Our Fees.
If incorrect or incomplete payment information is provided by you, and amounts paid by
Skyrights for Flight Compensation are returned, Skyrights will make reasonable efforts to
contact you. If no response is received to provide correct payment information, Skyrights is
entitled to retain the portion of the Flight Compensation that should have been transferred to
you.
If Flight Compensation, Legal Expenses, interest, or similar are directly transferred from the
Airline to you, you are required to (i) promptly inform Skyrights of the payment and (ii) be
invoiced and responsible for paying Our Fees, Legal Expenses, interest, or similar to Skyrights
without unreasonable delay.
When Skyrights pays Flight Compensation based on your instructions and selected method, it is
not liable for any checks, prepaid debit cards, credit cards, or similar lost in transit to you.
Skyrights is not obligated to actively reclaim Flight Compensation paid to the wrong receiver
due to incorrect information provided by you. No interest on the Flight Compensation is
claimable during the time period between when Skyrights receives it and when it is transferred
to you. Skyrights retains the right to keep any interest recovered from the Airline, including
interest recovered following Legal Action.
Skyrights is not liable for compensation if prevented from transferring payment due to events
beyond its control, such as strikes, lock-outs, force majeure, natural disasters, war, riot,
compliance with laws or governmental orders, accidents, breakdowns, fire, floods, storms, or
other events.
The Service Fee and the Legal Action Fee apply to any settlement type whenever Skyrights
successfully obtains Flight Compensation, whether through a court decision, settlement with
the Airline, or joint settlement with the Airline for multiple Claims.
If you qualify as a consumer under the European Union (EU), the European Economic
Area (EEA), and the UK consumer regulations – meaning that you are an individual
engaging in a legal transaction for a purpose other than commercial or independent
vocational activity – you have a legal right of withdrawal. You can withdraw from the
Compensation Service or Membership within 14 days from the start of the
Compensation Service or Membership at no cost and without specifying any reasons.

letter, email, or contact form) within the 14-day period mentioned above, clearly stating
your wish to withdraw from the Compensation Service or Membership. However, you
cannot withdraw from our Compensation Service or Membership if Skyrights has
informed you that the Airline has accepted the Claim, as, in such an event, we have
completed the service you requested. The withdrawal should be sent to:

Following the 14-day Withdrawal period, you may Withdraw your acceptance of the Compensation

Skyrights retains the right to withdraw from the Compensation Service if obstacles beyond its control hinder Skyrights from obtaining Compensation for you. These obstacles may include, but are not limited to, Airline insolvency, court closure, lockdown measures, low Flight Compensation value, etc. In such cases, Skyrights will notify you of the obstacles and close your Claim, with no applicable fee.
The Compensation Service will terminate upon the earlier occurrence of the following: When the Claim has been settled with the Airline, you have received the Flight Compensation, and all amounts payable by you to Skyrights, if any, have been paid. Either you or Skyrights, at any time and for any reason, give timely written notice of termination. By Skyrights immediately where:
Upon termination of the Compensation Services for any reason, you are required to
promptly settle any fees payable to Skyrights under the Terms. This includes, but is not
limited to, situations where you withdraw after the Airline confirms the payment of
Flight Compensation. Note that your Claim will not automatically be reassigned to you
upon withdrawal or termination. You must specifically request Skyrights to reassign
your Claim, and Skyrights will provide you with the Reassignment Form for your
signature.
In the event of your withdrawal from the Compensation Service or Skyrights terminating
the service due to your breach of the Terms, Skyrights is entitled to receive the following
