Terms & Conditions

Last updated:

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Taste My Trip (TMT), its website, content, features and any related services (together, the "Service"), operated by Taste My Trip (TMT) ("we", "us", "our"). By visiting, registering, signing in, posting, paying for or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, Disclaimer and Community Guidelines. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to register and use the Service. You confirm that the information you give us is true, current and complete.

2. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your login details safe and for everything that happens under your account. Tell us immediately if you suspect unauthorised use. We may refuse, suspend, hold or close any account, or remove any content, at any time and for any reason, including for breaking these Terms, without notice and without liability.

3. Obeying the law

You agree to comply with all applicable local, national and international laws and regulations when using the Service and when visiting, travelling to or dealing with any place, business or person you find on it. You must not use the Service for anything unlawful, fraudulent, harmful, hateful, defamatory, obscene, infringing, misleading or abusive, or to harass, threaten, impersonate or exploit anyone.

4. User content

Members may submit posts, photos, video links, ratings, comments, profile information and other material ("User Content"). You alone are responsible for your User Content and the consequences of sharing it. You confirm that you own it or have every right and permission needed to share it, that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge, and that it does not break any law or anyone else's rights (including copyright, trademark, privacy and publicity rights).

You keep ownership of your User Content. By submitting it you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable and sub-licensable licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt, translate, publish, display, distribute and promote it on the Service and in our marketing and social media channels, for as long as it is on the Service and for a reasonable time afterwards in backups and already-published material.

We do not pre-screen, verify or endorse User Content, and we are not responsible for it. We may review, edit, hide, reject or remove any User Content at our sole discretion. Moderators may act on our behalf.

5. Places, businesses and third parties

Posts describe places, restaurants, attractions and businesses that we do not own, operate or control. Opening hours, prices, safety, hygiene, quality, availability, legality and accessibility may change or be wrong. Any visit, purchase, meal, trip or dealing with a third party is solely between you and that third party and is entirely at your own risk. Links to other websites, maps, videos and services are provided for convenience only and we are not responsible for them.

6. Lifetime-free creator profile — what "lifetime" means

Members who share travel and food posts receive a "Lifetime-Free Creator Profile". In these Terms and anywhere on the Service, "lifetime", "lifetime-free" and "forever" mean the lifetime of the Taste My Trip (TMT) website and Service only, not the lifetime of the member. Your creator profile and the posts on it stay free of charge for as long as we operate the Service.

The lifetime ends if the website or Service is closed, discontinued, suspended, sold, merged or permanently stops operating for any reason, including technical failure, business decisions, legal requirements, events beyond our control or the failure of the project. If that happens, no compensation, refund or alternative service is owed. We do not guarantee that content will be kept, archived or exported. Please keep your own copies of your photos, videos and texts.

"Lifetime-free" covers keeping your creator profile and posts on the Service. It does not include paid features or subscriptions that may be offered for full access to other members' content. A free profile may still be removed or suspended under these Terms, for example for breaking the law or our Community Guidelines.

7. Subscriptions and payments

Some features may require a paid subscription. Subscriptions give access for the period you buy (for example 3, 6, 12 or 24 months) from the date your payment is confirmed. Prices are shown before you pay and may change for future purchases. Payments are processed by third-party payment providers or by direct bank or mobile-wallet transfer; we do not store your card details and are not responsible for errors, fees, delays or failures caused by banks or payment providers.

Access lasts only while we continue to operate the Service. Subscription access is provided "as available". If the Service, or any feature, is interrupted, changed, suspended, discontinued or permanently closed for any reason, including technical failure, business decision, legal requirement, events beyond our control or the failure of the project, your access ends and no refund, credit or compensation will be due.

All payments are final and non-refundable, including for unused time, except where a refund is required by mandatory law that cannot be excluded. See our Refund Policy. Sharing, reselling or transferring subscription access is not allowed.

Creator Rewards Program

Taste My Trip (TMT) may run an optional Creator Rewards Program ("Program") that pays eligible members for the genuine audience their posts attract. The Program is offered at our sole discretion. It is not a job, partnership, agency or investment, and joining the Service does not entitle anyone to payment.

  • Availability. The Program is available only in the countries we announce, and we may add or remove countries at any time.
  • Eligibility. Eligibility criteria (for example a minimum number of approved posts, qualified views, account age and rating) are published in your dashboard and may change with notice. Meeting them makes you eligible to apply, not entitled to payment. You must be at least 18 and the legal owner of the account. One person may hold only one account in the Program.
  • Verification. To join you must provide valid government photo ID (national ID card or passport), a clear standard passport-size photo, your residential address with recent proof (for example a utility bill) and payout details. We may refuse, suspend or close any application or participation, including to meet legal, tax, sanctions or anti-fraud obligations.
  • How rewards are calculated. Each month we decide, at our discretion, the total amount set aside for creators (the "Creator Fund"). The Fund is divided between approved creators in proportion to the qualified views their approved posts received that month. A "qualified view" is a genuine view of a post page by another person. Views by the creator, by staff, by automated software and invalid or duplicated views do not count. Rewards are never based on clicks on, or views of, advertisements.
  • Invalid activity. You must never click ads on the Service, ask or encourage anyone to click or view ads, buy or exchange traffic, use bots, or artificially inflate views or ratings. If we detect such activity we may withhold or reverse rewards and remove you from the Program and the Service.
  • Payment. Rewards are calculated in USD after each month closes and paid once your unpaid balance reaches the minimum payout amount shown in your dashboard, normally within 30–45 days after the month ends, to your verified payout account. Bank, transfer and currency-conversion fees charged by third parties may be deducted. We are not responsible for delays caused by wrong payout details.
  • Taxes. You are responsible for declaring and paying any taxes on your rewards. Where the law requires, we may withhold tax or report payments to tax authorities and ask you for tax information.
  • Content rights. You may earn only from posts you created or have every right to share. Posts that break these Terms, our Community Guidelines or advertiser-friendly standards do not earn rewards.
  • Changes and ending. We may change the Fund, the rules or the payout schedule, or end the Program, by giving notice in your dashboard or by email. Changes apply from the next month. Rewards already calculated for closed months will still be paid, unless they come from invalid activity. Questions or disputes about a payment must be raised within 60 days of the payment date.

Age and personal details

You must be 18 or older to register and use the Service. When registering (or before using posts when you sign in with Google) you give your gender, date of birth, country and city, and optionally your address. They are hidden from other members unless you choose to show them; administrators can always see them to run, protect and moderate the Service.

Live location sharing

Members may choose to show their real-time location on the map for a limited time. It is off by default, starts only when you switch it on and confirm a warning, stops automatically at the end of the period you choose (one hour if you do not choose) and can be stopped at any time. You decide who can see it: everyone signed in, or only the members you name.

Sharing your live location can put you at risk — for example of being followed, stalked, robbed or harassed, or of revealing where you live or stay. You share it entirely at your own risk and responsibility. Never share the location of another person without their consent, and do not use another member's location to contact, follow, harm or harass them. Taste My Trip (TMT) is not liable for any loss, injury or harm that results from a member sharing, viewing or misusing live locations. We keep only your latest position while sharing is on and delete it when sharing ends. We may disable the feature for anyone, or for everyone, at any time, and we follow applicable local and international law.

Chat

Where chat is available, you agree to use it lawfully and respectfully. You must not threaten, harass, bully, scam, spam, impersonate or exploit anyone, spread hate, violence or extremism, use abusive or offensive language, share illegal material or try to get around the rules (for example by sharing files or links that the Service does not allow). Messages are end-to-end encrypted between the members of a conversation, so Taste My Trip (TMT) cannot read them unless a member reports a message and shares it with us. Read messages are deleted automatically after 12 hours. Screenshots and recordings of chats are not allowed. You can block anyone from chatting with you and leave any group at any time. We may limit, suspend or remove chat access for any member, for any period. Taste My Trip (TMT) is not liable for what members say or do in chats.

Content, copyright and respectful use

  • Only your own content. Post only photos, videos, text and other material that you created yourself or have clear permission to use. Never upload, copy or pass off anyone else's work as your own.
  • No copying from the Service. Photos, videos, texts, maps and other content on Taste My Trip (TMT) belong to the members who posted them or to Taste My Trip (TMT). You must not download, screenshot, scrape, copy, republish, sell or otherwise reuse them, for any purpose, without the owner's written permission. You may share links to posts with the share buttons; the content stays on Taste My Trip (TMT).
  • Respect people and their rights. Do not post content that breaks copyright, trademark, privacy or image rights, shows people who have not agreed to be shown, or is false, defamatory, hateful or misleading.
  • Reports and removal. Anyone can report a post or profile. We may remove content, suspend accounts and cooperate with rights holders and authorities. Copyright owners can send a takedown notice to mail@tastemytrip.com with the link, proof of ownership and their contact details.
  • Responsibility. You are fully responsible for what you post and for any misuse of others' content. You agree to indemnify Taste My Trip (TMT) against claims that arise from your content or your misuse of content. Taste My Trip (TMT) is not liable for content posted or copied by members.

8. Acceptable use

You must not: copy, scrape, harvest or bulk-download content or user data; interfere with or overload the Service; try to bypass security, access controls or payment; upload malware; create fake accounts, fake ratings or spam; post private information about others; or use the Service to send unsolicited advertising.

9. Intellectual property

The Service, its name, logo, design, software and our own content are owned by Taste My Trip (TMT) or our licensors and are protected by law. You may not use them without our written permission, except to use the Service as intended.

10. No warranties

The Service and all content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, reliability, availability, fitness for a particular purpose, safety, non-infringement or that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Taste My Trip (TMT), its owners, directors, employees, administrators, moderators, partners and suppliers will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profit, revenue, data, goodwill, money, property, health, injury, illness or death, arising out of or related to: your use of or inability to use the Service; any User Content; any act, omission, mistake, crime or behaviour of any user or third party; any place, business, food, travel or service you find through the Service; payment processing; security breaches; or the interruption, failure or closure of the Service or the project, even if we were told such damage was possible.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability for all claims together is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or USD 10 (or the equivalent in your local currency) if you paid nothing.

12. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Taste My Trip (TMT) and its owners, administrators, moderators and partners from any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, fine, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your User Content, your use of the Service, your breach of these Terms or your violation of any law or anyone's rights.

13. Changes and termination

We may change, suspend or discontinue the Service or any part of it, and may update these Terms, at any time. Changes take effect when posted. Continuing to use the Service means you accept the updated Terms. You may stop using the Service at any time.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Bangladesh. The courts of Bangladesh have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, except where mandatory consumer law in your country gives you the right to bring a claim locally. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver.
