Terms of Service

Last updated: May 27, 2026

These are the terms for using Tripnostic and the Tripnostic “Send to Google Maps” Chrome extension. They are written to be read. The short version: the service is free, the validation is best-effort, you own what you paste, and you check before you travel.

This is not legal advice. If you want a lawyer to look at the trip you’re planning, hire one. For the terms of using this site, these are the rules.

Acceptance

By using Tripnostic you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use the site or the extension.

Eligibility

You need to be at least 13 years old and able to enter a contract where you live. If you’re using Tripnostic on behalf of an organisation, you’re telling us you have permission to bind it to these terms.

Your account

If you create an account, you’re responsible for access to the email address or Google account you use to sign in, and for what happens under your account. Passwordless auth means your email address is the account handle you’ll need at sign-in. You can sign out from the account menu and delete trips at any time.

Your content

The recommendations and trip data you paste belong to you. You give Tripnostic a limited, worldwide, royalty-free licence to process, enrich, store, and display that content back to you and (for any trip you choose to share) to the people you share the trip link with. We don’t use your trip content to train models, sell it, or share it for advertising. You’re responsible for having the right to paste what you paste.

Validation sources

Tripnostic checks hours, closures, holidays, and booking links by querying third-party providers — Google Places, OpenStreetMap / Nominatim, Ticketmaster, and Nager.Date — and by normalising your paste with an LLM provider (OpenAI or Google Gemini). Use Tripnostic as planning support alongside venue, ticket issuer, carrier, and booking-provider information.

For time-sensitive or money-sensitive decisions, rely on the venue, ticket issuer, carrier, or booking provider.

AI-generated output

Tripnostic uses an LLM to turn the text you submit into structured trip items (titles, categories, neighborhoods, booking notes). Treat Tripnostic output as trip-planning information, not professional travel, legal, or medical advice.

The “Send to Google Maps” extension

The Tripnostic Chrome extension is a separate, optional tool. It runs entirely in your own browser and drives the Google Maps Save UI in your signed-in Google account to create a private saved list from a Tripnostic trip. We don’t receive the places it saves. Using the extension is also subject to Google’s Terms of Service; don’t use it in a way that violates them. See the extension section of our Privacy Policy for what data it touches (and what it doesn’t).

Acceptable use

Don’t use Tripnostic to:

• upload illegal content, or content you don’t have the right to use;
• impersonate someone else, harass anyone, or share content that targets another person;
• scrape, bulk-download, or otherwise abuse the validation pipeline (the LLM and provider quotas behind it cost real money);
• run automated traffic against the site beyond ordinary first-party use;
• reverse-engineer, repackage, or distribute the extension in a way that defeats Google’s anti-abuse protections;
• interfere with the site’s security, rate limiting, or other users’ trips.

Third-party services

To validate a trip we share parts of your trip data (place names, cities, dates) with the providers listed in the Privacy Policy. Each provider’s own terms govern how that part of the transaction works. Tripnostic is not responsible for outages, errors, or changes at those providers.

No warranty

Tripnostic is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We don’t warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or accurate.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tripnostic and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the service — including any travel decision you made on the basis of what Tripnostic showed you. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the service is capped at the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Since Tripnostic is free, that cap is zero.

Termination

You can stop using Tripnostic at any time and delete your trips from the dashboard. We can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or that abuse the service in a way that threatens its availability for everyone else. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — content licence, no warranty, limitation of liability, governing law — survive.

Changes

We may update these terms. When we do, we’ll change the “last updated” date at the top of this page. If a change is material we’ll try to give reasonable notice on the site. Continuing to use Tripnostic after a change takes effect is your acceptance of the new terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and, where state law applies, the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms or Tripnostic will be brought in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and you and Tripnostic consent to that jurisdiction.
