(2) The Carrier shall not, with respect to any daim arisin9 out of the death, wounding, or other bodily injury of a passenger, avail itself of any defense under Article 20(1) of said Convention or said Convention as amended by said Protocol. Nothing herein shall be deemed to affect the rights and liabilities of the Carrier with regard to any claim brought by, on behalf of, or in respect of any person who has willfully caused damage which resulted in death, wounding, or other bodily injury of a passenger. " 2. Each Carrier shall, at the time of delivery of the ticket, fumish to each passenger whose transportation is governed by the Convention, or the Convention as amended by the Hague Protocol, and by the special contract described in paragraph 1, the following notice, which shall be printed in type at least as large as 10 point modem type and in ink contrasting with the stock on (i) each ticket; (ii) a piece of paper either placed in the ticket envelope with the Iicket or attached to the ticket; or (iii) on the ticket envelope: "ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY Passengers on ajoumey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of origin are advised that the provisions of a treaty known as the Warsaw Convention may be applicable to the entire joumey, including any portion entirely within the country of origin or destination.
