Anchor Trip

Terms & Conditions

Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE] · Last updated: [EFFECTIVE DATE]

These Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Baydo Labs LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Baydo Labs”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). They govern your access to and use of Anchor Trip (“Anchor”, “the App”, or “the Service”), our individual-first group trip planner, including our mobile applications, related websites, and any features, content, or services we make available.

Please read these Terms carefully. They include an arbitration agreement and a class-action and jury-trial waiver (Section 22) that affect how disputes between you and us are resolved, and a limitation of liability (Section 20) that limits the amounts you can recover from us. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement as described in Section 22.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By creating an account, tapping to agree at sign-up, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. If we present these Terms to you at sign-up and you indicate your acceptance (for example, by tapping a button confirming that you agree), that action forms a binding agreement between you and us. Your continued use of the Service after these Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of them.

2. Eligibility & age

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18 (or the age of legal majority where you live), you may use the Service only with the involvement, consent, and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms and who accepts responsibility for your use of the Service. If you are a parent or guardian permitting a minor to use the Service, you agree to these Terms on the minor’s behalf and are responsible for the minor’s activity.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these age requirements, that all information you provide is accurate, and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of a company, organization, travel group, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and “you” refers to that entity as well as to you individually.

3. The Service

Anchor is an individual-first group trip planner that helps you and the people you travel with organize trips — capturing plans, places, dates, notes, and other trip details in one place. Anchor organizes; it does not transact. When you want to book or pay for something, Anchor deep-links you out to third-party providers (such as airlines, hotels, booking sites, and maps), and any booking or payment happens with those third parties under their own terms, not with us.

Where Anchor records money — such as an amount, a currency, or who paid — it does so only as data you or your co-travelers enter or that our features extract for your reference. Anchor does not process payments, split bills, move funds, settle balances, or act as a money transmitter, escrow, payment processor, or financial institution. Any figures shown are for your planning and record-keeping only and are not a demand for payment, an accounting, or financial advice.

We are continually improving the Service. We may add, change, suspend, limit, or discontinue any part of the Service — including features, functionality, and availability — at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you, except where the law requires otherwise. We are not obligated to provide any particular feature or to maintain any content indefinitely. We may also add new features and offerings — and may charge for them — including paid subscriptions, an AI enrichment agent, affiliate and partner links, and additional third-party integrations; the Service and its business model may evolve over time, and these Terms are intended to accommodate that evolution.

5. Your account & security

You sign in to Anchor using Sign in with Apple and/or passwordless email one-time codes. You agree to provide accurate and current information and to keep it up to date. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and the device, email account, and credentials used to access it, and you are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not you authorized it.

You agree to notify us promptly at hello@anchortrip.app if you suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your account or any other security breach. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your account or credentials. We may refuse, suspend, or cancel an account, or reclaim a username or identifier, in our reasonable discretion.

6. Automated access & agents acting on your behalf

Where the Service offers the ability, you may authorize AI agents or other automated clients to access your account and act on your behalf using scoped, revocable credentials. You remain responsible for everything done through your account by any agent or automated client you authorize, and for keeping such access, and the credentials that enable it, secure. We may meter, rate-limit, condition, charge for, or otherwise restrict programmatic or API access to the Service, and we may suspend or revoke such access at any time. This Section does not expand the license or the permitted uses described elsewhere in these Terms.

7. License to use the App

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download and use the App on a device you own or control, and to access the Service, solely for your own personal, non-commercial trip-planning purposes. This license does not grant you any ownership of the Service or its underlying software.

Except as expressly permitted by these Terms or applicable law, you agree that you will not, and will not permit anyone else to:

We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you. If you obtained the App from a third-party app store, your license is also subject to that store’s terms (see Sections 25 and 26).

8. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree to use the Service responsibly and lawfully. You will not, and will not attempt to, do any of the following, or upload, post, share, or transmit content that:

We may investigate and take appropriate action against anyone who, in our sole judgment, violates this policy, including removing content, suspending or terminating accounts, and reporting activity to law enforcement. We are not obligated to monitor content, but we may do so and may remove or disable any content or account at our discretion, without notice and without liability.

9. Your content & license to us

“User Content” means the content you create, upload, or store through the Service — including trips, plans, notes, places, receipts, images, costs, and other materials. You retain ownership of your User Content. These Terms do not transfer any ownership of your User Content to us.

You grant Baydo Labs a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable (to our service providers acting on our behalf) license to host, store, back up, cache, reproduce, modify (for formatting and technical purposes), transmit, and display your User Content solely to operate, maintain, secure, provide, and improve the Service, including to share your User Content with the trip members and other users you choose to invite or grant access to, and as otherwise described in our Privacy Policy. This license lasts only as long as we host your User Content and ends when your User Content is deleted from our active systems, except that (a) residual copies may persist in backups for a limited period, and (b) User Content you have shared with others may remain accessible to them.

You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights, consents, and permissions to your User Content and to grant the license above, and that your User Content and our use of it as permitted here do not violate any law or infringe any third party’s rights. You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of creating, sharing, or storing it. We do not endorse and are not responsible for any User Content.

10. Sharing within a trip & other users

Anchor is collaborative. You decide whom to invite to a trip. Content you add to a shared trip is visible to the co-travelers you invite or who have access, and members with access can view and edit shared plans within that trip. Choose what you share, and with whom, with care — once you share content with others, they may be able to view, copy, edit, re-share, or retain it, and we cannot control or delete their copies.

The Service lets you interact with other people. We do not control and are not responsible for the conduct, content, or accuracy of information provided by any user, including co-travelers on your trips. Your interactions with other users are solely between you and them, and you assume all risk associated with those interactions. We are not a party to, and have no responsibility for, any arrangement, plan, cost, or dispute among trip members.

11. Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or other feedback about the Service (“Feedback”), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, and otherwise exploit the Feedback for any purpose, without any obligation, restriction, credit, or compensation to you. Feedback is provided voluntarily and is not confidential.

12. AI features

Some features use artificial intelligence to help you — for example, extracting booking details such as dates, times, locations, and prices from receipts or links you provide. These features are provided for convenience and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. AI outputs are generated automatically, are not reviewed by a human, and should not be relied upon as accurate without verification.

You are responsible for independently verifying any important details before relying on them — including bookings, reservations, dates, times, prices, addresses, and travel arrangements — directly with the relevant provider. AI outputs do not constitute professional, financial, legal, tax, medical, or travel advice, and we make no warranty about their accuracy or fitness for any purpose.

13. Third-party services & links

The Service integrates with and links to third-party products and services — including Apple sign-in, map providers, airlines, hotels, booking and reservation sites, and any links or content you or others paste into a trip. We do not control these third parties, do not endorse them, and are not responsible for their products, services, content, availability, accuracy, pricing, security, or practices. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that party’s own terms and privacy policy, and any transaction you enter into with a third party is solely between you and that party. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, any third-party service or content.

14. Affiliate links & partnerships

We participate in affiliate and partner programs. We may earn commissions, referral fees, or other compensation when you use links to, or book or purchase from, third-party providers through the Service. Using an affiliate link does not increase the price you pay. We provide this disclosure so you are aware of these material connections. The third-party terms described in Section 13 continue to apply to any booking or purchase you make.

15. Intellectual property

The Service, including the App, our software, source code, designs, text, graphics, and other content we provide (excluding your User Content), and all intellectual property rights in the foregoing, are owned by or licensed to Baydo Labs and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. “Anchor Trip”, “Anchor”, “Baydo Labs”, our logos, and other names and marks associated with the Service are trademarks of Baydo Labs. You may not use our marks without our prior written permission. Except for the limited license granted in Section 7, these Terms do not grant you any right, title, or interest in the Service or our intellectual property.

16. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and share information. By using the Service, you acknowledge the Privacy Policy. Where you provide us information about other people — such as co-travelers or the “managed persons” you add to a trip — you represent that you have any authorization or legal basis needed to provide that information to us and to have it processed as described in the Privacy Policy.

17. Copyright complaints (DMCA)

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to our designated agent at [DMCA AGENT CONTACT] that includes:

If your content was removed and you believe it was removed in error or is not infringing, you may send a counter-notice to the same agent containing the information required by the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)). We may reinstate the content as permitted by law. We will, in appropriate circumstances and in our discretion, terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

18. Termination & suspension

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend, limit, or terminate your access to the Service, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms or the law, that your use poses a risk to us, other users, or third parties, or as otherwise permitted by these Terms; we may also do so if we discontinue the Service.

Upon termination, your license to use the Service ends and we may delete or deactivate your account and User Content, subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable law. We are not liable for any deletion of, or failure to store or preserve, any content. Content you shared with others may remain accessible to them. Any provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 9, 11, 15, and 19 through 27 — will survive.

19. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BAYDO LABS AND ITS SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, TIMELY, OR ERROR-FREE; THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY CONTENT (INCLUDING AI OUTPUTS AND EXTRACTED BOOKING DETAILS) WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, OR CURRENT; OR THAT YOUR CONTENT OR DATA WILL BE PRESERVED, BACKED UP, OR FREE FROM LOSS. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING YOUR OWN COPIES OF IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND FOR VERIFYING ANYTHING YOU RELY ON. ANY MATERIAL OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICE IS ACCESSED AT YOUR OWN RISK. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM US OR THROUGH THE SERVICE, CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT CASE, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE MINIMUM SCOPE AND DURATION PERMITTED BY LAW.

20. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BAYDO LABS AND ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, AND LICENSORS (THE “BAYDO PARTIES”) WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE BAYDO PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE BAYDO PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100). THESE LIMITATIONS ARE A FUNDAMENTAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND US AND APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. BECAUSE THE SERVICE IS CURRENTLY PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ABSENT THESE LIMITATIONS WE WOULD NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICE.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THAT CASE, THE BAYDO PARTIES’ LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MINIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

21. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Baydo Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your User Content; (b) your use of, or activity on, the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any law or of any right of any third party, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights; or (e) your interactions or disputes with any other user or third party. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense. You may not settle any matter without our prior written consent.

22. Dispute resolution & arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU AND US TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU MAY OPT OUT AS DESCRIBED BELOW.

Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration or any other proceeding, you and we agree to try to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. To begin, send a written notice describing the dispute and the relief you seek to hello@anchortrip.app (and, for us to notify you, we will use your account email or postal address). We will each attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. If we do not resolve it within 30 days, either of us may proceed to arbitration. This informal-resolution requirement is a condition precedent to starting arbitration.

Binding individual arbitration. Except for the matters carved out below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, and not in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court. The arbitration will be seated in Virginia, and may proceed by phone, video, or written submissions where the rules allow. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve disputes about the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, except that a court decides whether the class-action waiver below is enforceable. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

CLASS-ACTION AND JURY-TRIAL WAIVER. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

30-day right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement (including the class-action and jury-trial waiver) within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms by emailing hello@anchortrip.app with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” and stating your name and the email associated with your account. If you opt out, or if a claim falls outside this Section, the disputes will be resolved in the courts identified in Section 23. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other part of these Terms.

Small-claims carve-out. Nothing in this Section prevents either party from bringing an individual claim in small-claims court, or from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidential information.

Severability. If the class-action and jury-trial waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and brought in the courts identified in Section 23, while all other claims will proceed in arbitration. If any other part of this Section is found unenforceable, the remainder will be given effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

23. Governing law & venue

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and by applicable U.S. federal law. Subject to the arbitration agreement in Section 22, you and we agree that any dispute not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Virginia, and you and we consent to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, those courts. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

24. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated Terms with a new “Last updated” date and, where we version these Terms, an updated version identifier. For material changes, we will provide reasonable advance notice — for example, in the App or by email to the address associated with your account — and we may require you to re-accept the Terms before you continue using the Service. Changes apply prospectively and take effect on the date stated in the updated Terms. Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of them. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.

25. Apple App Store additional terms

If you download the App from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply, and, to the extent they conflict with the rest of these Terms, they control with respect to your use of the App on Apple devices:

26. Google Play (Android)

Anchor is not yet available on Android. If and when we offer the App through the Google Play Store or another Android distributor, these Terms will apply to your use of that version, along with any additional terms that store requires, and we will update this Section accordingly.

27. General

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms we present for specific features, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements on that subject.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision, and no waiver is effective unless in writing.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, or any rights or obligations under them, without our prior written consent, and any attempt to do so is void. We may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. These Terms bind and benefit the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, governmental action, power or network failures, or failures of third-party services or infrastructure.

Notices. We may provide notices to you through the App, by email to the address associated with your account, or by posting on our website. You may send notices to us at hello@anchortrip.app or by mail to the address in Section 28.

Relationship & headings. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created by these Terms. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
