Tripstat — Terms of Service

Last updated: 15 July 2026

In short (informal summary; the full text below is what legally applies): Tripstat is a free travel platform. You own the content you post and are fully responsible for it. We review reports of problematic content and generally act within 24 hours. Our maps are illustrative only and take no position on borders. Visa and travel information is reference material, partly AI-generated — always verify it with official sources before making travel decisions. The Service is provided "as is" with liability limited to the maximum extent the law allows. Russian law governs these Terms, but if you are a consumer you keep all mandatory protections of your home country. The Service is not available in the Russian Federation.

1. Who We Are

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the Tripstat website at https://tripstat.io, the Tripstat mobile applications for iOS and Android (the "Apps"), and all related features and services (together, the "Service").

The Service is operated by Dmitrii Nikolaevich Korovin, an individual (natural person) applying the special tax regime "Tax on Professional Income" (self-employed) under the laws of the Russian Federation, Taxpayer Identification Number (INN) 622901627255, registered in Ryazan Oblast, Russian Federation (the "Operator", "we", "us", "our").

Our Privacy Policy (https://tripstat.io/privacy) and Cookie Policy (https://tripstat.io/cookies) are incorporated into these Terms by reference.

2. Acceptance of These Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

3. Eligibility

You may use the Service only if all of the following are true:

1. You are at least 16 years old. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
2. You are not located in the Russian Federation. The Service is not offered to, directed at, or intended for use by persons located in the territory of the Russian Federation, and you may not access or use the Service from that territory.
3. You are not located in, and will not access the Service from, any country or territory subject to a comprehensive United States, European Union, or United Kingdom embargo (including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, so-called Donetsk and Luhansk regions), and you are not listed on any applicable sanctions or restricted-party list (including the U.S. OFAC SDN list and EU consolidated sanctions lists).
4. You have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service.
5. You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

We may use technical measures to restrict access from excluded territories and may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this Section.

4. The Service

Tripstat is a travel platform that allows you to create and share travel maps, posts, and photos, track your travel statistics, and access travel-related reference information, including information about visa requirements. Some features of the Service are powered by artificial intelligence (see Section 14).

The Service is currently provided free of charge. We may introduce optional paid features in the future; if we do, we will provide separate terms and pricing before you incur any charge.

We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. Where a change materially reduces the core functionality available to you, we will use reasonable efforts to give advance notice. We do not guarantee that the Service, or any feature of it, will always be available or uninterrupted.

The Service is not a backup service. You are responsible for keeping your own copies of any content you care about.

5. Your Account

You can register with an email address and password or by signing in with Google. You agree to:

• provide accurate registration information and keep it up to date;
• keep your credentials confidential and not share your account;
• maintain no more than one account and not transfer or sell your account;
• notify us promptly at korovindn@proton.me if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

6. Privacy and Visibility Settings

The Service offers account visibility settings:

• Restricted (default): your profile and public-facing content are not indexed by external search engines and do not appear in the Service's internal search;
• Public: your profile and content marked public can be found through internal search and may be indexed by external search engines;
• Private: your profile is not accessible to other users.

Individual maps additionally have their own private/public visibility setting controlling whether other users (including visitors who are not signed in) can view them.

You are responsible for choosing and reviewing your visibility settings before posting. Anything made public can be viewed, copied, cached, or redistributed by third parties (including search engines) outside our control. Changing content to private or deleting it does not guarantee removal of copies already made by third parties or held in external caches.

7. Your Content

"User Content" means posts, photos, maps, profile information, comments, and any other material you submit to the Service.

Ownership. You retain all rights you hold in your User Content.

License to us. To operate the Service, you grant the Operator a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license, sublicensable to our service providers, to host, store, reproduce, technically adapt (for example, resizing or reformatting), publicly display, and distribute your User Content, solely to the extent necessary to provide, secure, improve, and operate the Service and consistent with your visibility settings. For content you make public, this includes displaying it to other users and, where your account settings allow, making it available to search engines. The license ends when your User Content is deleted from the Service, except (a) for the limited period needed to purge backups, and (b) where retention is required by law.

Your responsibility. You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting it. You represent and warrant that: you own or have all rights necessary to post your User Content and to grant the license above; your User Content is lawful in the jurisdictions where it is made available; and it does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party, including intellectual property, privacy, and publicity rights. You are also responsible for any metadata embedded in files you upload (for example, location data in photos).

Feedback. If you send us suggestions or feedback, we may use them without restriction or compensation.

8. Prohibited Content and Conduct

You must not post, share, or transmit content that:

• is unlawful, or promotes or facilitates illegal activity;
• infringes intellectual property or other rights of any person;
• sexualizes, exploits, or endangers minors in any way (zero tolerance; such content will be removed and may be reported to competent authorities);
• is pornographic or sexually explicit;
• constitutes hate speech, harassment, threats, or incitement to violence, or glorifies terrorism or violent extremism;
• discloses another person's private or identifying information without their consent (doxxing);
• is deceptive, fraudulent, or constitutes spam or unauthorized advertising;
• contains malware or malicious code.

You must not:

• impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation;
• access or attempt to access other users' accounts or non-public areas of the Service;
• circumvent, disable, or interfere with security features or with other users' privacy or visibility settings;
• scrape, crawl, harvest, or collect data from the Service, or access the Service by automated means (including bots and AI agents), without our prior written consent;
• probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, or disrupt its operation (including denial-of-service attacks);
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
• extract, copy, or redistribute our map data (including offline map data) outside the Service;
• use the Service for commercial purposes without our prior written consent;
• use the Service in violation of export control or sanctions laws.

9. Moderation, Reports, and Blocking

Reporting. The Service provides built-in tools to report content or accounts. You can also email reports to korovindn@proton.me. We review reports and, where warranted, take action — generally within 24 hours of receipt.

Our actions. We may, at our discretion, remove or restrict access to content, limit its visibility, suspend or terminate accounts, and, where appropriate, notify competent authorities. We do not undertake any general obligation to monitor or pre-screen User Content, although we reserve the right to do so.

Statement of reasons and contesting decisions. Where required by applicable law (including the EU Digital Services Act), if we remove or restrict your content or account, we will inform you of the reasons. You may contest a moderation decision by replying to our notice or writing to korovindn@proton.me; we will review contested decisions in good faith and inform you of the outcome.

Blocking. You can block another member from their profile or from their content. Blocking hides all of that member's content (posts, maps) from your feeds, search results, and notifications; removes any follow relationships between you; and prevents the blocked member from following you or interacting with your content. You can manage and reverse blocks in your settings. The blocked member is not notified.

Repeat infringers. We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

10. Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to korovindn@proton.me (subject line "DMCA Notice") including:

1. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
2. identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to locate it (e.g., a URL);
3. your contact information (name, address, telephone number, email);
4. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
5. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf;
6. your physical or electronic signature.

Counter-notification. If your content was removed and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to the same address including: identification of the removed material and its prior location; a statement under penalty of perjury of your good-faith belief that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; your name, address, and telephone number; a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your judicial district (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which the Operator may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice; and your signature. We may restore the material in accordance with applicable law unless the original complainant informs us that it has filed a court action.

Misrepresentations in a notice or counter-notification may result in liability under applicable law (including 17 U.S.C. § 512(f)).

11. Operator Content and License to You

The Service — including its software, design, databases, map data and map rendering engine, aggregated statistics, text, graphics, and trademarks — is owned by the Operator or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-commercial, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service and to install and use the Apps on devices you own or control. Offline map data downloaded through the Apps may be used only within the Apps for your personal use and may not be extracted, copied, or redistributed. No rights are granted except as expressly stated in these Terms.

12. Maps Disclaimer

All maps in the Service are illustrative and schematic only. Boundaries, names, colors, and designations shown on maps do not imply any opinion, position, or endorsement by the Operator concerning the legal status of any country or territory, the delimitation of any frontiers or boundaries, or any political question. Maps are not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or current, and must not be used for navigation, positioning, or emergency purposes.

13. Travel and Visa Information Disclaimer

The Service provides travel-related reference information, including information about visa and entry requirements. This information:

• is provided for general reference only and is not legal, immigration, or travel advice;
• may be generated or aggregated with the assistance of artificial intelligence (see Section 14) and is clearly labeled as such in the interface;
• may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date — entry, visa, health, and customs requirements change frequently and vary by nationality and personal circumstances.

Always verify entry and visa requirements with official sources — embassies, consulates, government websites, and carriers — before booking travel or making any travel decision. We are not a travel agency, visa service, or advisor of any kind, and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we accept no responsibility for decisions made, or losses incurred, in reliance on information provided through the Service.

14. AI Features

Some features of the Service use artificial intelligence models provided by a third party (Google, Gemini models via Google Cloud Vertex AI) — for example, to search and summarize information about flights, accommodation, destinations, and visa requirements. AI-generated content is labeled in the interface.

You acknowledge that AI-generated output is probabilistic and may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or misleading even when it appears plausible and confident. You must independently verify AI output before relying on it. AI output is not professional advice of any kind.

You are responsible for the input you submit to AI features. Inputs must comply with Section 8; do not submit sensitive personal data or third-party personal data you have no right to share. Similar outputs may be generated for other users. We do not guarantee the availability of AI features. Details on how AI-related data is processed are in our Privacy Policy.

15. Third-Party Content, Links, and Bookings

The Service (including AI features) may display information about, or links to, third-party services such as airlines, booking platforms, and accommodation providers. We do not sell, book, broker, or fulfill flights, accommodation, or any other travel services. Prices, availability, and conditions shown are indicative and may change. Any transaction you enter into with a third party is solely between you and that third party, under their terms, and at your own risk. We are not a party to such transactions and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, have no liability arising from them. Third-party services you connect to the Service (such as Google sign-in) are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

16. Mobile Applications and App Store Terms

Your use of an App is also subject to the terms of the app marketplace from which you downloaded it (Apple App Store or Google Play).

16.1 Apple App Store

If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, the following applies:

1. Acknowledgement. These Terms are concluded between you and the Operator only, not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). The Operator, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content.
2. Scope of license. The license granted to you is a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules set out in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the App may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
3. Maintenance and support. The Operator is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the App. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services for the App.
4. Warranty. The Operator is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) of the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are the Operator's sole responsibility.
5. Product claims. The Operator, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and/or use of the App, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
6. Intellectual property claims. In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, the Operator, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of such claim.
7. Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
8. Developer contact. Questions, complaints, or claims regarding the App may be directed to the Operator at korovindn@proton.me.
9. Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App.
10. Third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as they relate to your license of the App, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

16.2 Google Play

If you downloaded the App from Google Play: these Terms are between you and the Operator only, and Google LLC and its affiliates ("Google") are not a party to them and are not responsible for the App or its content. Your use of the App must additionally comply with the Google Play Terms of Service.

17. Notifications and Communications

The Apps can send push notifications about events you have subscribed to — for example, changes to maps you follow or new posts from members you follow. You control push notifications through your device settings and manage individual subscriptions in the Service settings; you can disable them at any time.

We send transactional emails only (account, security, and service-related messages). We do not send marketing emails. Certain service and security emails are inherent to operating your account and cannot be opted out of while your account exists. You consent to receive communications from us electronically.

18. Suspension and Termination

By you. You may stop using the Service at any time and delete your account in Settings at https://tripstat.io/settings.

By us. We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Service, or remove your User Content, if: you materially or repeatedly breach these Terms; we are required to do so by law or by a competent authority; your use creates risk or possible legal exposure for us or for other users; or we discontinue the Service. Where reasonable and lawful, we will give you notice and the reasons.

Effect. Upon termination, your license to use the Service ends and your User Content is deleted in accordance with the retention terms of our Privacy Policy. Sections which by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 7 (license during retention), 10, 12–15, and 20–24) survive.

19. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will give notice (by email or in-Service notice) at least 15 days before the changes take effect, unless a shorter period is required for legal or security reasons. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and delete your account before the changes take effect.

20. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT AND FEATURES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND AVAILABILITY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT ANY INFORMATION (INCLUDING MAPS, TRAVEL AND VISA INFORMATION, AND AI OUTPUT) IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM US OR THROUGH THE SERVICE CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; where that is the case, the above exclusions apply to the maximum extent permitted, and nothing in this Section affects statutory rights that cannot be waived.

21. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

1. THE OPERATOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS;
2. WITHOUT LIMITING THE DISCLAIMERS IN SECTIONS 12–15, THE OPERATOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR TRAVEL-RELATED OUTCOMES, INCLUDING MISSED OR CANCELLED TRANSPORT, DENIED BOARDING OR ENTRY, VISA REFUSALS, FINES, OR ANY COSTS OR LOSSES ARISING FROM RELIANCE ON INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE, NOR FOR USER CONTENT OR THE CONDUCT OF ANY USER OR THIRD PARTY;
3. THE OPERATOR'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) FIFTY EUROS (EUR 50) AND (B) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO THE OPERATOR FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or willful misconduct, or, where applicable law so provides, for gross negligence; and nothing in these Terms affects statutory rights of consumers that cannot be contractually waived. The limitations in this Section apply regardless of the theory of liability and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose; they reflect the allocation of risk on which the free provision of the Service is based.

22. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law (and, if you are a consumer, only to the extent such an obligation is enforceable against consumers in your jurisdiction), you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Operator from and against claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) brought by third parties arising out of: (a) your User Content; (b) your use or misuse of the Service; or (c) your violation of these Terms or of applicable law or third-party rights.

23. Governing Law and Disputes

Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Russian Federation, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer habitually resident in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protection rules, nothing in this Section deprives you of the protection of provisions that cannot be derogated from by agreement under the law of your country of habitual residence — those protections continue to apply to you.

Informal resolution first. Before initiating formal proceedings, please contact us at korovindn@proton.me describing the dispute; the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve it within 30 days.

Venue. If you are a consumer, you may bring proceedings in the courts of your place of domicile where applicable law grants you that right, and proceedings against you as a consumer may be brought only in the courts of your domicile where applicable law so requires. In all other cases, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the courts at the Operator's registered location in the Russian Federation shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

Consumer dispute resolution bodies. We are not obligated to participate, and do not undertake to participate, in dispute resolution proceedings before consumer arbitration boards.

24. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Operator regarding the Service.
• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable or, if that is not possible, severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account. We may assign these Terms in connection with a transfer of the Service (for example, to a legal entity continuing its operation), with notice to you.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
• Export compliance. You must comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws in connection with your use of the Service.
• Language. These Terms are drawn up in English. If translations are provided, they are for convenience only and the English version prevails.
• Notices. We may provide notices to you by email (to the address on your account) or through the Service. Notices to us should be sent to korovindn@proton.me.
