Frequently Asked Questions
Aviator Warranty
We stand behind the high quality of our products. We want you to be able to expand your horizons through travel without worrying about your luggage. That is why we provide a 5-Year Limited Warranty on our Aviator bags.
Paravel will cover manufacturing defects (meaning a defect in certain components or elements that prevents the Aviator bag from functioning properly), wear and tear (which means unintended deterioration after proper use, excluding cosmetic damage), and structural damage to the Aviator bag, subject to the exclusions below. The components we cover are the TSA Lock, telescopic trolley handle, wheels, corner protectors, top and side handles, and TPU leather strip.
We cover damage to only the components listed above. We don’t cover intentional damage to the bag or cosmetic damage (like scratches, fading, and stains). We also don’t cover damage caused by any travel carrier (such as airline, rail, bus, or cruise operators). In these cases, the damage should be reported immediately to the carrier, who may be insured against these types of incidents. We also do not cover consequential damages such as loss or damage to the contents of the Aviator bag, loss of use, and similar expenses.
You are covered if you are the original retail purchaser or a person who received the Aviator bag from the original purchaser as a new and unused gift. This includes purchasers who bought the bag directly from Paravel or from one of Paravel’s retail partners or wholesale channels.
You will need to provide the model number printed in your bag and proof of purchase that shows the Aviator bag was purchased within the last five years. Proof of purchase is an original or copy of the sales receipt for the Aviator bag or the purchase invoice. This proof of purchase must show the date of the Aviator bag’s purchase.
If your Aviator bag requires warranty service, please fill email help@tourparavel.com or give us a call at (929) 900-6577 to file a warranty claim. We will provide instructions for you to send your bag to Paravel for service at no cost to you. If your bag is not covered by our limited warranty, we will give you an estimate of the repair and shipping costs so you can decide if you want to proceed with the repair.
If the required repairs are covered by the 5-Year Limited Warranty, we will either repair the bag or replace it and ship it back to you at our expense. If a replacement bag is not available, we will replace the Aviator bag with a bag of comparable value or give credit towards a future purchase on tourparavel.com. If your Aviator bag requires repairs that are not covered by the 5-Year Limited Warranty, we will provide you with an estimate for the repairs and the cost of shipping the bag back to you.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PARAVEL DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL STATUTORY OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND WARRANTIES AGAINST HIDDEN OR LATENT DEFECTS. SOME STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THESE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. SOME STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE AND JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, IN NO EVENT WILL PARAVEL BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AVIATOR BAG OR ITS USE BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER UNDER THEORY OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), INDEMNITY, PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE. THIS LIMITATION WILL APPLY EVEN IF PARAVEL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. PARAVEL’S TOTAL LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID FOR THE AVIATOR BAG GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. SOME STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THESE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Care and Repair
Following a few, simple care instructions will ensure the lasting quality of your Paravel pieces. For stubborn stains, use a natural, gentle household soap and a soft cloth. We do not recommend using abrasive household cleaners, as they can adversely affect the special coating on your Paravel bags. For the best results, treat stains as they occur.
In the event a particularly nasty spill does get the best of your bag, contact us at help@tourparavel.com or (929) 900-6577, and our Customer Care Team will help troubleshoot a solution.
Our leather is a natural calfskin without synthetic top finishes. Like any natural leather, it will develop a beautiful patina over time. We like to think of the leather’s changing appearance as a testament to the adventures you will have had together. For any specific issues, we recommend you speak to your local leather repair shop or treat at home with commercially available leather polishers and cleaners.
We stand by our materials and our commitment to quality. For any specific care questions or concerns not addressed here, please contact us at help@tourparavel.com or (929) 900-6577.
We’ve worked to create a fabric that, in addition to being beautiful, is also durable.
