Terms of Service

TripHelm is a calendar-first trip planning app. The service consists of the TripHelm web application and an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that AI clients you authorize — such as Claude or ChatGPT — can call on your behalf to create and modify your trips.

By using TripHelm, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the service.

You sign in with email or a supported identity provider such as Google, Microsoft, or GitHub through WorkOS. You're responsible for the activity that happens under your account, including any AI client you authorize to access your trips. Keep your identity provider credentials secure.

One account per person. Don't share account access with others.

You agree not to:

• Attempt to access trip data belonging to other users.
• Scrape, reverse engineer, or circumvent rate limits on the service or the MCP endpoint.
• Use the service to plan or facilitate illegal activity.
• Submit content that infringes someone else's intellectual property or is otherwise unlawful.
• Resell, sublicense, or operate the service as a commercial third-party offering without our written agreement.

When you connect TripHelm to an AI client (Claude, ChatGPT, or any other MCP-compatible assistant), you authorize that client to read and write your trip data using your account. That authorization is governed by the OAuth grant you approve.

You can revoke an AI client's access at any time from that client's settings. Once revoked, the client immediately loses the ability to call TripHelm on your behalf.

TripHelm doesn't control the behavior of third-party AI clients. If an AI assistant makes a change to your itinerary that you didn't expect, that's a result of your prompt and the client's decision-making — not the TripHelm service itself.

The trip data you create — titles, destinations, blocks, notes, metadata — is yours. TripHelm stores it to provide the service and doesn't claim ownership over it.

You grant TripHelm a limited license to host, display, and process your trip data for the sole purpose of providing the service to you and the AI clients you authorize.

Publishing to the Marketplace is a separate, optional action. You must review the complete public snapshot, including your displayed author name, and confirm that you have the right to publish its content and allow others to reuse it. By confirming publication, you give TripHelm permission to display that snapshot publicly and let other users save, adapt, and use copies as their own trips. This permission applies to the reviewed snapshot, not the rest of your private trip or account.

Private trip metadata is not automatically published. Event notes are excluded by default and require an explicit choice to include and review them. Review titles, descriptions, locations, notes, and links carefully: field filtering cannot determine whether all text contains personal, confidential, or third-party information.

A published template and trips saved from it are independent snapshots, not live links to your original trip. Withdrawing a template stops future public discovery and saves through TripHelm; deleting your account also removes your published originals. Neither action recalls content already viewed or deletes or revokes reuse of independent copies previously saved by others. Older publications without the required review are hidden until reviewed and republished.

TripHelm is provided on an as-is basis. We don't guarantee any specific uptime, response time, or feature persistence. We may add, modify, or remove features at any time.

We may need to take the service offline for maintenance, security response, or operational reasons. We'll try to give notice where reasonable.

TripHelm is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy of itinerary suggestions, and non-infringement.

Itineraries generated or modified by AI clients are suggestions, not travel advice. Verify reservations, transit times, opening hours, and any other operational details before you rely on them.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TripHelm and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or trips arising from your use of the service.

Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these terms or the service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid TripHelm in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) US $100.

You can stop using TripHelm at any time. Download your private data and request account deletion in account settings. Deletion removes your owned trips and published originals, not independent copies previously saved by others. External provider erasure is tracked separately and may require operator action; a status receipt does not mean every external record or backup has already been erased.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these terms, if your use of the service threatens its security or stability, or if we're required to do so by law.

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated to active users in a reasonable way (in-app notice or email).

Continuing to use TripHelm after a change takes effect means you accept the revised terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute that can't be resolved informally will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
