Terms of Service

Last updated 15 September 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and Tripscape for using the Tripscape app and website. Please read them. By creating an account or using Tripscape, you agree to them.

1. Who we are

Tripscape is operated by Sharif Khaleel, an individual based in the Maldives (“we”, “us”). You can reach us at [email protected].

2. Who can use Tripscape

You must be at least 13 years old to use Tripscape. If you are under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, you need a parent or guardian’s permission, and they agree to these terms for you.

3. Your account

• You sign in with Apple or Google. Keep that account secure: what happens under your Tripscape account is your responsibility.
• One person, one account. Don’t share it, sell it, or use someone else’s.
• Your name, username and profile picture must not pretend to be someone else, mislead people, or be offensive. We may reclaim or change a username that breaks this rule.

4. Collecting stamps fairly

A stamp means you were there. That’s the point of Tripscape, so please keep it honest:

• Collect stamps by visiting the place, or with a photo you really took there.
• Don’t fake your location, edit a photo’s location data, use someone else’s photo, or use tools that trick the app.

We may remove stamps, reviews or rankings that were gained unfairly, and suspend accounts that do it repeatedly.

5. What you post

You can post photos, stories, captions, comments and reviews (“your content”).

• You keep ownership of your content.
• You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, host, copy, display, resize and share your content to run Tripscape and show it to other people in the app and on stamp pages on our website. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except where other people have already shared it within the app or we must keep it by law.
• Posts are public. Photos, stories, comments and reviews can be seen by other Tripscape users, even if your passport is private.
• Only post content you have the right to post. If a photo shows other people, make sure they’re happy for it to be shared.

6. Reviews

Only people who collected a place’s stamp can review it. Reviews must be your honest opinion of your own visit.

• Don’t post fake reviews, or reviews you were paid, rewarded or asked to write in exchange for something.
• If you own, work for or represent a business, don’t review it or its competitors, and don’t offer customers discounts or gifts for reviews.
• We may remove reviews that break these rules, and the rating of that place changes when a review is removed.

7. What’s not allowed

When you use Tripscape, don’t:

• Post anything illegal, sexually explicit, violent, hateful or discriminatory.
• Harass, bully, threaten or impersonate anyone.
• Share other people’s private information, such as their address or phone number.
• Post spam, scams or advertising, or copy content you don’t have the rights to.
• Collect data from Tripscape with bots or scrapers, or try to access accounts, data or systems that aren’t yours.
• Copy, reverse-engineer or interfere with the app, or overload our servers.
• Misuse stamp codes, for example by printing a business’s code somewhere else so people can collect its stamp without visiting.

8. Reports and moderation

You can report a post, comment, review or profile from inside the app. We review reports and may remove content, limit features, or suspend or close accounts that break these terms, with or without warning, especially where there’s a risk of harm. If you think we got it wrong, email us and we’ll take another look.

9. Places, businesses and your safety

• Place details, opening hours, locations and maps can be wrong or out of date. Check before you travel.
• Stay safe. Obey local laws and signs, respect private property and closing hours, and never use the app while driving or somewhere dangerous. No stamp is worth taking a risk for.
• Some stamps belong to partner businesses such as cafés and shops. Those businesses are responsible for their own products, services, prices and premises. A stamp or a good rating is not a guarantee or endorsement by us.

10. Paid features

We may offer paid features, such as a subscription. If we do, you buy them through the App Store or Google Play, and the price is shown before you pay. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel in your App Store or Google Play settings. Payments, cancellations and refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their terms. Everything that’s free today will be clearly marked if it ever becomes paid.

11. Our app and artwork

The Tripscape app, name, logo, stamp designs and artwork belong to us or our licensors. We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app for yourself, as these terms allow. Stamp images you save or share from the app are for your personal, non-commercial use.

12. Other companies’ services

Tripscape relies on services from other companies, such as Apple and Google for sign-in, Google Firebase for your account and data, Cloudflare for uploading and storing photos, and map and routing providers. Your use of those parts may also be covered by their own terms. We aren’t responsible for services we don’t run.

13. Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time in the app, under Passport → Settings → Delete account. This removes your passport, posts, comments, reviews and follows, as explained in our Privacy Policy. We may also suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms. The sections of these terms that by their nature should continue, such as ownership, disclaimers and limits on liability, still apply afterwards.

14. No guarantees

We work hard to make Tripscape reliable, but it is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we don’t promise that it will always be available, error-free, or that stamps, locations, reviews or other information are accurate. We may change, pause or stop features at any time.

15. Limits on our liability

To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or unexpected losses, such as lost data, lost profits, or losses from travel plans, visits to places or dealings with businesses. Our total liability to you for any claim about Tripscape is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or USD 50.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law, such as for fraud, or takes away rights you have as a consumer under the laws of the country where you live.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as Tripscape grows. If a change is important, we’ll tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. If you keep using Tripscape after that, you accept the new terms. If you don’t agree, you can delete your account.

17. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Maldives, and disputes will be handled by the courts of the Maldives. If you live elsewhere, you may also have the right to bring a claim in your own country’s courts and to rely on its consumer protection laws.
