In the event that your flight is delayed by more than 3 hours from its scheduled arrival time you will be entitled to the rights in section 1 below, except where the delay is due to extraordinary circ*mstances which could not have been avoided even ifall reasonable measures had been taken, which may include (but not limited to) air traffic control, weather, civil unrest, terrorist alerts and security alerts, industrial action and unexpected flight safety shortcomings.
