  1. PREMIUM SERVICE FEATURES

6.1. TraWell undertakes to wrap the Baggage with a special ultra-resistant protective film that provides effective protection and deterrence against breakage, damage, scratches, rain, dirt, accidental opening, partial and total theft. The protective film used for wrapping is created to ensure maximum protection of Baggage and, at the same time, ensure respect for the environment (100% Recyclable). The film is bright red to make Baggage easily identifiable at the airport and is easy to remove after use thanks to its reduced thickness.

6.2. TraWell guarantees (within the limits established in Article 7) the suitability of the protective film to prevent damage to the Baggage. Consequently, TraWell shall be liable to Customers, within the terms and limits set forth in Article 7 below, for any Damage to Baggage that has been reported to the Company in accordance with the procedures set out in the Instructions in case of Damaging Events.

6.3. The finding of the Baggage is guaranteed by the Active Tracking service. The Customer is required to activate the service before flight departure by registering the Safe Bag Code (i.e. the code on the sticker applied to the film with which Baggage has been wrapped) and the baggage tag issued by the Airline, on the sostravel App or on the Safe Bag website “refund” area, indicating the Customer’s name and contact details. Registration by the Customer before departure is important because it allows the Customer to take advantage of the App and web features designed to accompany the passenger in his/her travel experience, and the Customer’s Baggage.

6.4. With the Active Tracking service, Customer Care takes a leading role in providing assistance to the Customer in case of Non-Delivery of Baggage. The Service is made possible by Customer Care’s direct access to information on Baggage movements generated by airport handlers through the dedicated SITA World Tracer portal. Customer Care contacts the SITA World Tracer dedicated portal and provides information on the status of Baggage directly to the Customer. The inquiry is made by entering in the portal the Safe Bag Code or, alternatively, of the baggage tag issued by the Airline that the Customer has pre-registered in the App or on the website.

6.5. It is possible to use the Safe Bag Code to inquire as to Baggage whereabouts thanks to TraWell’s ability to use the SITA Worldtracer Unique Identification Service (UIS). This service allows SITA Lost&Found operators at any airport to enter the Safe Bag Code in a special field of the On Hand Database (OHD). The entry of the Safe Bag Code in the OHD generates an instant message to the Company, which in this case undertakes to cross-reference the data and contact the Customer to offer the necessary support for the recovery of the Baggage thus identified.

6.6. TraWell undertakes to locate the Baggage within 2 (two) days from the date on which, due to the Non-Delivery of Baggage, the Customer has filled in the P.I.R. (Property Irregularity Report) form at the Lost&Found service of the destination airport. The Tracking Service will end in any case after 21 (twenty-one) days from the date of Non-Delivery of Baggage. It is understood that Customer Care offers support to the Customer in the search for Baggage that has not been delivered by the air carrier in order to facilitate its recovery, but is not responsible for the tracking processes of air carriers or airport handling companies, nor does it have any relationship with their internal search procedures. Premium Customers may contact Customer Care seven days a week, 24 hours a day at the following telephone numbers: Italy +39 0691511041; France +33 170615702; Portugal: +35 1300505951; Switzerland: +41 435507016, Canada: +1 514 3126536 or by email: customer.care@safe-bag.com.

  4. if the airline does not provide compensation, TraWell will also not provide compensation.

11.2.b. If Baggage is not found within the timeframe set forth in Article 10.6. (2 days), the Penalty will be:

  1. equal to €/$ 100.00 (one hundred/00) per day for each day after the expiration of the period referred to in paragraph 10.6. and until the Baggage is actually found in the case of direct flights. The Penalty may not in any case exceed the total amount of €/$ 1,000.00 (one thousand/00), even if more than 10 (ten) days have lapsed since the expiry of the period referred to in paragraph 10.6.
  2. equal to €/$ 50.00 (fifty/00) per day for each day after the expiration of the period referred to in paragraph 10.6. and until the Baggage is actually found in the case of flights with a stopover. The Penalty may not in any case exceed the total amount of €/$ 500.00 (five hundred/00), even if more than 10 (ten) days have lapsed since the expiry of the period referred to in paragraph 10.6.

11.2.d. In case of Loss of Baggage, the Penalty will be paid after the Customer has received Airline Indemnification and for an amount equal to 60% of such compensation up to a maximum total of €/$ 4,000.00 (four thousand/00).

For example:

  1. if Airline Compensation equals €/$ 1,000.00, the Penalty by TraWell will be €/$ 600;
  2. if Airline Compensation equals €/$ 2,000 or more, the Penalty by TraWell will be €/$ 1,000;
  3. if the airline compensates the Customer by replacing or repairing the Baggage, the penalty by TraWell will be €/$ 100.00;
  4. if the airline does not provide compensation, TraWell will also not provide compensation.

11.3. The Company’s obligation to pay the Penalty shall be subject to the following conditions:

  1. a) the Baggage has been wrapped with the TraWell system for the outbound flight, and has been checked in and handed over at check-in (baggage tag) to the authorized airport personnel
    for both the outbound flight and the second flight;
  2. b) the Customer has made the required notifications within the prescribed timeframes and has complied with the Instructions in case of Damaging Events described in Article 12 below.

11.4. It is agreed that the Penalty received by the Customer for Delayed Delivery of Baggage within the period specified in Article 10.6 may not be combined with or in addition to the Penalty for Loss of Baggage.

11.5. It is understood that the Customer will not be entitled to the payment of any Penalty or in any case to any compensation: i) if Customer fails to comply with the Instructions in case of Damaging Events; ii) if Customer fails to provide adequate documentation of payment of Airline Indemnification, including the amount thereof, in the case of Damage to Baggage or Loss of Baggage; iii) if Customer fails to provide a copy of the document certifying the date of delivery of Customer’s Baggage by the airline, if the Baggage is not found within the timeframe specified in Article 10.6.; iv) for the costs incurred for the purchase of goods and any other expense or inconvenience arising from the failure to return Customer’s Baggage and/or damage to Customer’s Baggage; v) if, in case of Loss of Baggage, Customer has already received the payment of a Penalty for two separate events of Loss of Baggage occurring in the three year period preceding the Claim.

11.6. Compensation for damages in addition to the Penalty paid to the Customer under this article is expressly excluded, which therefore exhausts all obligations of TraWell towards the Customer as a result of the Damaging Event.
