TravelBuddy Terms of Service
Last updated 1 July 2026
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding legal agreement between you and Alper Kaplan (“we”, “us” or “our”), the developer and provider of the TravelBuddy application (“TravelBuddy” or the “App”). By downloading, installing or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not download, install or use the App. Sections 13 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 14 (Limitation of Liability) and 15 (Indemnification) limit our liability and allocate risk to you — please read them carefully.
1. Definitions
1.1 “App” or “TravelBuddy” means the TravelBuddy application, together with its updates, content and documentation.
1.2 “We”, “us” and “our” mean Alper Kaplan.
1.3 “You” and “your” mean the individual or entity using the App.
1.4 “Apple” means Apple Inc. and its subsidiaries.
1.5 “Content” means the trips, notes, photos, documents and other materials you create or store in the App.
2. Eligibility and acceptance
You may use the App only if you can form a binding contract with us and are not barred from doing so under applicable law. If you are under the age of majority in your place of residence, you may use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian. By using the App you represent that you meet these requirements and that you will comply with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
3. Licence
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable licence to install and use one copy of the App for your own personal, non-commercial purposes on an Apple device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Standard EULA”).
4. Licence restrictions
Except to the extent applicable law prohibits these restrictions, you will not, and will not permit anyone else to:
4.1 copy, modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works of the App;
4.2 reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or attempt to derive the source code of the App;
4.3 rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, distribute or otherwise transfer the App;
4.4 remove, obscure or alter any proprietary notices in the App;
4.5 use the App for any unlawful, infringing or harmful purpose, or in violation of these Terms; or
4.6 interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the App.
5. Subscriptions, purchases and billing
The App offers optional paid plans, which are sold and processed by Apple through the App Store: auto-renewable subscriptions (billed monthly or annually) and a one-time, non-consumable lifetime purchase. Current prices are displayed in the App before purchase.
5.1 Payment is charged to your Apple Account upon confirmation of purchase.
5.2 Auto-renewable subscriptions renew automatically for successive periods unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends, at the then-current price for the selected plan.
5.3 If a plan includes a free trial, any unused portion of the trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription to that plan.
5.4 You can manage or cancel your subscription, and disable auto-renewal, at any time in your Apple Account settings (Settings › your name › Subscriptions). Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
5.5 The lifetime purchase is a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase granting continued access to the features designated at the time of purchase; it does not include any features, content or services that we may offer separately in the future.
5.6 Prices, plans and features may change from time to time; any price change to an existing auto-renewable subscription will be handled in accordance with Apple’s policies, and where required you will be asked to consent to the new price.
5.7 All purchases are final and billing is handled by Apple. Refunds, where available, are provided by Apple in accordance with Apple’s policies; we are not able to process payments or grant refunds directly.
6. Your Content and responsibility
As between you and us, you retain all rights in your Content, and you are solely responsible for it, for its legality, and for having the rights necessary to store it. The App stores your Content on your device and, if enabled, in your personal iCloud. THE APP IS A PERSONAL ORGANISER AND IS NOT A BACKUP, ARCHIVING OR STORAGE SERVICE; YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING YOUR OWN BACKUPS OF ANY CONTENT THAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU. We are not responsible for any loss, corruption or unavailability of your Content.
7. Acceptable use
You agree to use the App lawfully and responsibly. You will not use the App:
7.1 in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
7.2 to infringe the intellectual-property, privacy or other rights of any person;
7.3 to store or transmit any unlawful, harmful or objectionable material; or
7.4 in any manner that could damage, disable or impair the App or interfere with any other party’s use of it.
8. Travel information and assumption of risk
The App may present reference information — such as destination summaries, maps, points of interest and currency conversions — obtained from third-party sources. THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED FOR GENERAL CONVENIENCE ONLY, MAY BE INACCURATE, INCOMPLETE OR OUT OF DATE, AND IS NOT PROFESSIONAL TRAVEL, FINANCIAL, LEGAL, MEDICAL OR SAFETY ADVICE. You are solely responsible for your travel decisions. Before relying on any information, independently verify important details — including visa and entry requirements, health and safety conditions, bookings, schedules and exchange rates — with official and authoritative sources. You assume all risks associated with your travel and your use of the information in the App.
9. Third-party services and content
The App relies on and may link to services and content operated by third parties, including Apple and the reference services described in our Privacy Policy. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services or content, which are governed by the third parties’ own terms and policies. Your use of them is at your own risk.
10. Intellectual property
The App, and all software, design, text, graphics, names, logos and other materials it contains (excluding your Content), are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property and other laws. Except for the licence expressly granted in these Terms, no rights are granted to you, and we reserve all rights.
11. Feedback
If you send us suggestions, ideas or other feedback about the App, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use and incorporate that feedback for any purpose, without any obligation or compensation to you.
12. Privacy
Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
13. Disclaimer of warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE OR FREE OF DATA LOSS, OR THAT IT WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
14. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY, OR TEN UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$10). NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, AND SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
15. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Alper Kaplan from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use or misuse of the App; (b) your Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.
16. Term and termination
These Terms apply while you use the App. You may terminate them at any time by ceasing to use and deleting the App. We may suspend or terminate your licence immediately if you breach these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 6, 10, 11 and 13 to 21 — will survive.
17. Changes to the App and these Terms
We may modify, suspend or discontinue the App, in whole or in part, at any time. We may also revise these Terms from time to time; the date at the top indicates when they were last revised, and material changes will be posted on this page. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
18. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the place where the developer is established, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and subject to any mandatory rights you have as a consumer under the laws of your country of residence. Before bringing any formal claim, you agree to contact us at info@alperkaplan.com and to attempt in good faith to resolve the matter informally. The courts of the developer’s place of establishment will have jurisdiction, except where applicable law entitles you to bring proceedings in your own country.
19. Apple App Store additional terms
The following terms apply because the App is licensed through the App Store:
19.1 These Terms are between you and us only, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
19.2 The licence granted to you is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
19.3 Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services for the App.
19.4 To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation with respect to the App. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); Apple has no other warranty obligation.
19.5 Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer-protection or similar legislation.
19.6 Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement or discharge of any third-party claim that the App or your use of it infringes that third party’s intellectual-property rights.
19.7 You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as “terrorist-supporting”, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
19.8 You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App.
19.9 Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce these Terms against you.
20. General
20.1 Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and supersede any prior agreements.
20.2 Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
20.3 No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
20.4 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a transfer of the App.
20.5 Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
20.6 Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
