Terms of Service

Last updated: May 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using ZipTrip ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service. These Terms apply to all visitors and users of ZipTrip.

2. Description of Service

ZipTrip is an AI-powered travel planning tool that generates curated travel bundle recommendations based on user-provided trip inputs including destination, travel dates, group size, budget, and travel preferences. ZipTrip is a planning and inspiration tool only — it is not a travel agency, booking platform, or reservation system.

All reservations, bookings, and purchases are made directly through third-party platforms such as Booking.com, Viator, and OpenTable. ZipTrip has no involvement in and bears no responsibility for any transactions you complete on third-party platforms.

3. AI-Generated Content and Pricing Disclaimer

Travel recommendations displayed on ZipTrip, including hotel names, activity suggestions, restaurant recommendations, and estimated prices, are generated by artificial intelligence (OpenAI GPT-4o) and enriched with data from the Google Places API.

Price estimates shown on ZipTrip are approximate and for planning purposes only. They do not represent real-time pricing and may not reflect current availability, seasonal fluctuations, taxes, fees, or promotions. Always verify pricing directly on the relevant booking platform before making any purchase or reservation decision.

AI-generated recommendations may occasionally contain inaccuracies, outdated information, or references to establishments that have closed, changed, or do not exist. ZipTrip makes no warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose of any AI-generated recommendation.

4. Affiliate Links

ZipTrip earns affiliate commissions from third-party booking platforms when you click a link and subsequently make a qualifying purchase or reservation. This does not affect the price you pay. For full details, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
  • Attempt to scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from ZipTrip without our prior written consent.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or its underlying infrastructure.
  • Use automated tools to submit trip planning requests at a volume that places unreasonable load on our systems.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Service.

6. Intellectual Property

The ZipTrip name, logo, and all original content, design elements, and software comprising the Service are the intellectual property of ZipTrip and are protected by applicable copyright and trademark laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any part of the Service without our express written permission.

AI-generated travel recommendations are produced on your behalf in response to your inputs. You may use these recommendations for personal, non-commercial trip planning purposes.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ZIPTRIP DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ZIPTRIP AND ITS OPERATORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSSES ARISING FROM RELIANCE ON AI-GENERATED RECOMMENDATIONS, BOOKING DECISIONS MADE BASED ON ESTIMATED PRICING, OR TRANSACTIONS COMPLETED ON THIRD-PARTY PLATFORMS.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).
