Terms · Travi

The short version

Travi is pre-release software. It will change, and it may lose something. Keep an export if it matters to you.
Your travel history is yours. We claim no ownership of it.
Travi records who owes what. It never moves money, and it is not a payment service.
Be decent to the people you share a trip with. Abuse ends an account.
You can leave at any time, and take your data with you.

Who this is with

Travi is an iPhone app and this website, made and run by one person. Using either means you accept what is written here. If something in it does not work for you, write to joe.bouchedid@gmail.com before you sign up rather than after.

It is not finished

Travi is being tested through TestFlight. Features appear, change shape and occasionally go away again; a beta build can have bugs that a released one would not. It is provided as it is, with no promise that it is fit for any particular purpose and no promise that it will be available at any particular moment. Export your data from Settings if losing it would be a problem.

Your account

One account is one person. You need to be at least 16 — or older, if that is the age of digital consent where you live. Keep the email address and the device you sign in with to yourself; anything done from a signed-in phone is treated as done by you. Your handle is yours while you use it, and it may be reclaimed if the account is deleted.

What you put in it

Your places, trips, plans, notes, photographs and expenses stay yours. You give Travi only the permission it needs to do the job: to store your data, to show it back to you on your own devices, and to show a shared item to the people you shared it with. That permission ends when you delete the thing, or the account.

Sharing is a decision you make each time. A trip, a plan, an album or an expense group is private until you invite somebody; anyone holding an invite link or code can see what that invite is for and ask to join, so treat a link the way you would treat a key.

Other people

A shared trip contains other people’s photographs, movements and money. Do not upload a picture of someone who would object, and do not take what you see in a shared trip anywhere else. You can block or report anyone; blocking is symmetric and takes effect everywhere in the app.

Money

Travi keeps a record of what was spent and who owes whom. That is all it does. It does not hold, transfer or settle money, and it is not a bank, a payment service or a financial adviser. Converted amounts use a published exchange rate captured when the expense was entered, so they are an honest record rather than a quote. Settling up happens between you, by whatever means you already use, and any dispute about a real-world debt is between the people who incurred it.

Suggestions are suggestions

Trips found in your photographs, cities inferred from a location, totals read off a receipt and day plans drafted on the device are all the app’s best guess, shown to you to accept or reject. Check them. Opening hours, travel times and prices change, and nothing in Travi is travel, legal or financial advice.

What you may not do

Use it to harass, impersonate or expose somebody.
Upload anything unlawful, or anything you have no right to share.
Attack the service, scrape it, hammer it automatically, or try to reach data that is not yours.
Take it apart and ship it as your own.

Ending it

Delete the account from Settings → Account → Delete account whenever you like; see the privacy policy for what happens to the data. An account that is being used to harm somebody can be suspended or removed, and you will be told why unless telling you would put someone at risk.

Liability

Travi is free, pre-release and made by one person, so its liability to you is limited to what the law will not let it exclude. It is not responsible for lost data, a missed booking, a trip that went wrong or a debt that went unpaid. Nothing here takes away a right you have as a consumer that cannot be signed away.

Changes, and where to argue

These terms change as the app does; the date at the top says when they last did, and continuing to use Travi after a change means you accept it. If you have a complaint, the first step is an email to joe.bouchedid@gmail.com, and it will be answered by the person who wrote the app.
