The Charterer shall, immediately upon demand, indemnify Insignia Jets against any taxes and/or charges imposed in any country on the Charter Price or otherwise in connection with the Flight which have been incurred by Insignia Jets.
4.3 The Charterer acknowledges that the Charter Price takes into consideration the aviation fuel costs and other operational costs of the Flight on the day when the Flight Order is sent by Insignia Jets for confirmation by the Charterer (the “Booking Date”). If, for any reason whatsoever, there shall be any increase in the fuel costs or other operational costs between the Booking Date and the date when the Flight is carried out, then the Charterer shall be liable to pay Insignia Jets, immediately on demand, such amount representing such increase in costs.

If Insignia Jets's efforts are unsuccessful, the Charterer’s sole remedy shall be a full refund of the Charter Price (less Insignia Jets’s fee for facilitating an Agreement) in respect of that part of any Flight Order which cannot be fulfilled due to Aircraft unavailability. Any such refund which relates to a partial cancellation of an Agreement shall be calculated on a pro rata basis as follows: percentage of total Charter Price (less Insignia Jets's fee for facilitating an Agreement) to be repaid shall equal the percentage of total flight hours under the Flight Order which will not be flown due to unavailability of the Aircraft.

(b) the Charterer requests that Insignia Jets takes the relevant payment by credit card, then the pre-authorised payment of the Charter Price plus the transaction fee will be taken from the Charterer’s card. If a bank transfer is received by or on behalf of Insignia Jets after Insignia Jets has taken the relevant pre-authorised sums from the Charterer’s credit card, then (at the election of the Charterer) either: (i) the bank transfer (less the transaction fee paid pursuant to clause 4.10 and any fees or charges levied on Insignia Jets in connection with such refund) will be refunded to the Charterer, or (ii) the pre-authorised payment will be refunded to the Charterer’s credit card (less the transaction fee paid pursuant to clause 4.10 and any fees or charges levied on Insignia Jets in connection with refunding such pre-authorised credit card payment).
