Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: 23 July 2026 · Last Updated: 23 July 2026

Welcome to Tip My Trip (“TMT”, “we”, “us”). TMT is a travel companion app that lets you follow live airport flight boards, track your own flights with real-time status and airport progress updates, and connect travellers who have spare baggage allowance (“Carriers”) with travellers who need extra baggage space (“Senders”). Please read these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) carefully before using our app or services.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using TMT, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

2. The Service

• Flight information: live arrival and departure boards for airports, and detailed status for flights you choose to track (schedule, gate, terminal, delays and progress).
• My Flights tracking: add a flight by number, by scanning your boarding pass, or by opening a flight link shared by another user.
• Airport progress and wait estimates: crowd-sourced check-in, security, gate, baggage and exit updates contributed by users at the airport.
• Baggage sharing: a marketplace that matches Carriers offering spare baggage allowance with Senders who need it.
• Notifications: optional push notifications about flights you track.

3. Eligibility and Accounts

• You must be at least 18 years of age.
• Signing in requires a Google account; you are responsible for activity that happens under your account.
• For baggage-sharing transactions you must hold valid government-issued identification and a confirmed booking on a valid commercial flight.

4. Flight Information Disclaimer

Flight schedules, statuses, gates and related data are sourced from third-party providers, and airport wait estimates are contributed by other users. This information may be incomplete, delayed or inaccurate, and is provided for convenience only. Always verify times and gates with your airline or airport. TMT is not responsible for missed flights, connections or other losses arising from reliance on information shown in the app.

5. User Contributions

When you contribute airport updates (for example confirming a check-in, security, gate, baggage or exit time, or voting on another user’s update), you grant TMT a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use those contributions in anonymised, aggregated form to power wait estimates and similar features. Contribute only information you believe to be accurate.

6. Baggage Sharing — Roles and Responsibilities

• Carriers share available baggage space on their flight and are responsible for transporting baggage as agreed and complying with airline rules.
• Senders request to send extra baggage through a Carrier and are responsible for ensuring their items are legal, secure and appropriately packed.
• Both parties must verify their flight details and agree on the terms of the baggage transaction via the app.

Prohibited items include, but are not limited to: hazardous materials, illegal substances, weapons, perishables, and items restricted by airline policy.

7. Matching, Payments & Fees

• Matches are generated based on flight data.
• Upon confirmation, both parties enter into a mutual agreement documented within the app.
• TMT may charge a service fee on transactions. Any financial exchange is held securely until confirmed delivery or dispute resolution.
• Optional add-ons (e.g., insurance, priority matching) may incur extra fees.

8. Disputes & Resolutions

• Disputes must be raised within 24 hours of flight arrival.
• TMT will investigate and make a final decision.
• Funds may be refunded or released depending on investigation outcome.

9. Insurance & Liability

TMT may offer optional third-party insurance. However, TMT is not liable for loss, theft, damage, or legal consequences arising from baggage-sharing transactions between users.

10. Shared Flight Links

You can share a flight you track as a link. A shared link contains only the flight number, date and route — no personal information. Anyone who opens the link can choose to track that flight in their own account.

11. Acceptable Use, Suspension and Termination

TMT reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that:

• Violate these Terms.
• Engage in fraud, harassment, or abuse, including deliberately submitting false airport updates.
• Attempt to bypass the platform for off-app transactions.

12. Intellectual Property

All content, branding, and platform designs are owned by TMT and protected under applicable intellectual property laws.

13. Modifications to Terms

TMT reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the platform after changes implies agreement.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in India.
