Affiliate Disclosure

FTC Disclosure Statement

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255), we want to be transparent about our affiliate relationships and how this website generates revenue.

Affiliate Relationships

Paravel Luggage Guide participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you.

Our affiliate relationships include, but are not limited to:

• Direct affiliate partnerships with Paravel
• Other luggage and travel accessory retailers
• Affiliate networks that connect us with various merchants

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click an affiliate link on our site:

1. You are redirected to the retailer's website (such as Paravel's official store)
2. A cookie is placed on your browser to track that you came from our site
3. If you make a purchase within a certain time period (usually 24-72 hours), we may receive a commission
4. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer

What This Means for You

• No Extra Cost: You pay the same price whether you use our affiliate links or not
• Support Our Work: Commissions help us maintain this website and create free content
• Honest Reviews: Affiliate relationships never influence our product recommendations
• Your Choice: You're never obligated to use our links

Our Editorial Independence

We take our editorial integrity seriously. Our affiliate relationships do not influence:

• Which products we review or recommend
• The content of our reviews
• The ratings or scores we assign to products
• Whether we highlight pros and cons honestly

We review and recommend products based on their merits, features, and value to our readers. If we believe a product isn't worth purchasing, we will say so, regardless of any affiliate relationship.

Product Selection

We choose to focus on Paravel products because we believe in the brand's commitment to sustainability and quality. Our decision to create this website was based on our genuine interest in sustainable travel gear, not on potential affiliate commissions.

Compensation May Affect Order

While affiliate commissions do not affect our opinions, they may sometimes influence the order in which products are displayed on our site. However, we always prioritize presenting the most relevant and useful information to our readers.

Non-Affiliate Links

Not all links on our website are affiliate links. We also link to:

• Informational resources
• News articles and press coverage
• Official brand pages for reference
• Other helpful tools and resources

Identifying Affiliate Links

We strive to be transparent about affiliate links. Generally:

• Links to product pages on retailer websites are affiliate links
• "Shop Now," "Buy at Paravel," and similar call-to-action buttons typically contain affiliate links
• Product cards linking to purchase pages are affiliate links

Paravel Luggage Guide is an independent website. We are:

• Not owned by Paravel Inc.
• Not operated by Paravel Inc.
• Not endorsed by Paravel Inc.
• Not sponsored by Paravel Inc.
• Not officially affiliated with Paravel Inc.
