TrailbudgetTerms of use
Last updated 9 November 2026
In short
- Trailbudget helps you plan and track a travel budget. It isn’t financial advice, and its estimates can be wrong.
- An account is optional. If you make one, keep it secure and use it fairly.
- Travel buddy balances are a record, not a payment service. No money moves through Trailbudget.
About these terms
These terms apply when you use the Trailbudget app and website. By using them you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. Apple’s standard licensed application end user licence agreement also applies to the app. If anything here conflicts with it, these terms apply to the extent the law allows.
What Trailbudget is
Trailbudget turns a trip budget into daily spending targets and keeps track of what you log. Targets, country cost guides and exchange rates are estimates to help you plan. Country guides come from third-party sources and dated benchmarks; exchange rates come from a third-party feed and may differ from what your bank or card charges. Check anything important yourself. Trailbudget is not a bank, a payment service or a source of financial advice.
Your account
- You can use Trailbudget without an account. Signing in adds backup and travel buddies.
- You need to be at least 13 to create an account, and you’re responsible for keeping your sign-in secure.
- You can delete your account in the app at any time.
Backup
We work hard to keep backups safe and available, but the copy on your iPhone is always the main one, and we can’t promise the service will never be interrupted or that data can never be lost. Keep your phone’s own backups switched on too.
Travel buddies
- Only invite people you know and trust. You decide which costs you split; they decide whether to add them to their trip.
- Balances and settlements are a shared record to help you keep track. Trailbudget doesn’t hold, send or collect money, and isn’t responsible for payments between buddies or disagreements about them.
- Don’t put anything offensive, unlawful or someone else’s private information in names or descriptions you share.
Fair use
Please don’t misuse Trailbudget: don’t try to break, overload or get unauthorised access to the service or other people’s data, don’t use it to harass anyone, and don’t use automated tools against it. We may suspend or close accounts that do, or that we’re required to by law.
Price and changes
Trailbudget is currently free. We may add, change or remove features. If we ever introduce paid features, we’ll say so clearly before you pay for anything. If we stop running the backup service, we’ll give you reasonable notice, and your trips stay on your phone.
Our responsibility to you
Trailbudget is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or unforeseeable losses, for decisions you make based on its targets, guides or rates, or for losses caused by things outside our reasonable control. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you’re a consumer, you keep all your legal rights.
Intellectual property
The app, its design and its content belong to Trailbudget or its licensors. Figtree is used under the SIL Open Font License and flag artwork under the MIT licence. Your trips and the costs you log belong to you.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We’ll change the date above, and for significant changes we’ll tell you in the app before they apply. If you don’t agree, you can stop using Trailbudget and delete your account.
Law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live elsewhere in the UK or in the EU, you can also rely on the mandatory consumer protections of where you live, and bring proceedings there.
