TripBudget – Terms of Service
Last Updated: February 16, 2026
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (the “User”, “you”, or “your”) and Louis Breyne, operating under the trade name “Breyne Engineering”, an independent entrepreneur registered in Belgium (VAT number BE1008.222.750) (hereinafter referred to as “TripBudget”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), governing your access to and use of the TripBudget mobile application and any related web-based services, features, content, and functionality (collectively, the “Service”).
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease all use of the Service.
1. Identity of the Service Provider
The Service is provided by:
Louis Breyne
Operating under the trade name “Breyne Engineering”
Independent entrepreneur registered in Belgium
VAT number: BE1008.222.750
Contact email: support@tripbudget.app
Website: https://tripbudget.app
Breyne Engineering is the sole operator and publisher of the TripBudget application.
2. Description of the Service
TripBudget is a digital expense-tracking and trip budgeting application designed to enable users to record, organize, calculate, and analyze travel-related expenses, including (without limitation) multi-currency transactions, shared expenses among participants, common pool contributions, and related trip budgeting data.
Certain features of the Service may enable synchronization across devices and collaborative access to shared trips. These features may rely on third-party infrastructure providers (including Google Firebase and Google Cloud Platform) and may require authentication.
The Service is intended solely as a personal organization and informational tool. It does not constitute a financial management platform, payment system, banking service, accounting software, or regulated financial product.
3. Definitions
For purposes of these Terms:
“Account” means a user account used to access authenticated features of the Service.
“Content” means information and data submitted to the Service by users, including trip details, participant details, expenses, notes, categories, and other inputs.
“Third-Party Services” means external services and infrastructure providers that are not operated by TripBudget but may be used to provide parts of the Service (e.g., authentication, hosting, synchronization).
4. Eligibility and Legal Capacity
The Service is intended for individuals who are at least sixteen (16) years of age.
By accessing or using the Service, you represent and warrant that you:
- Are at least sixteen (16) years old;
- Possess the legal capacity to enter into binding contractual agreements;
- Will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with your use of the Service.
The Service is not directed to children under the age of sixteen (16), and we do not knowingly provide the Service to such individuals.
5. User Accounts and Authentication
Access to authenticated features of the Service requires authentication through Google Sign-In or through email and password using Firebase Authentication services.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities conducted under your authenticated account. You agree to notify us without undue delay of any unauthorized access or suspected security breach relating to your account.
TripBudget does not have access to user passwords. Password management, hashing, and credential security are handled exclusively by Google Firebase in accordance with its own technical and contractual safeguards.
We reserve the right to suspend or restrict access to the Service (in whole or in part) in the event of suspected misuse, security threats, or violation of these Terms.
6. Account Deletion and Data Removal
Users may initiate account deletion directly within the application through the dedicated account deletion function.
Upon submission of a deletion request, the following process applies:
- The request is securely recorded;
- All personal data directly associated with the User’s account is permanently deleted from our accessible systems;
- Data contained within shared trips that cannot be entirely removed without infringing upon the legitimate interests or rights of other participants will be irreversibly anonymized;
- A confirmation email will be sent to the former User upon completion of the deletion process.
The deletion process may be completed within a few minutes but, depending on system load or data complexity, may take up to several days.
Account-related data is retained only until a deletion request is processed, subject to limited security log retention by third-party authentication providers where required for fraud prevention, security monitoring, or legal compliance.
Deletion of the application from a device does not automatically delete account data associated with authenticated features; a formal deletion request must be submitted within the application.
7. User Responsibilities and Conduct
You agree to use the Service in a lawful, responsible, and respectful manner.
You are solely responsible for:
- The accuracy, completeness, and legality of the data you enter;
- The allocation and division of expenses among participants;
- The financial consequences of decisions made using information generated by the Service;
- Ensuring that you have the necessary authorization before entering personal data relating to other individuals.
You shall not:
- Use the Service for unlawful or fraudulent purposes;
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or interfere with the technical operation of the Service;
- Circumvent security mechanisms;
- Introduce malicious code or exploit vulnerabilities.
Any misuse of the Service may result in suspension or termination of access.
8. Collaborative Features and Shared Trips
When a User shares a trip and invites additional participants, the associated data becomes accessible to all authorized members of that trip.
TripBudget does not monitor the content of shared trips and is not responsible for disputes, financial disagreements, or inaccuracies arising between participants.
Each User remains responsible for the data they contribute to shared trips and for ensuring that such data is entered in good faith and in compliance with applicable laws.
9. No Financial, Accounting, or Legal Advice
The Service is provided solely as a digital organizational tool.
TripBudget does not provide financial, accounting, tax, investment, banking, or legal advice.
Currency exchange rates displayed within the Service are provided for informational purposes only and may originate from third-party providers. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of such rates.
All expense calculations, balances, summaries, and analytical outputs are generated automatically based on user-provided data. Users remain solely responsible for verifying financial information before making decisions, settlements, or payments.
For the avoidance of doubt, TripBudget does not process payments, hold user funds, execute transfers, provide escrow services, or act as a financial intermediary of any kind. The Service solely facilitates the recording and calculation of expense information entered by users. Any financial settlement or payment between participants occurs entirely outside the Service and remains the sole responsibility of the users involved.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties

We do not warrant that the Service will always be available, secure, or free from defects.
11. Limitation of Liability

If the Service has been provided free of charge, liability shall be limited to the minimum extent permitted by applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms shall exclude liability where such exclusion is prohibited by law.
12. Third-Party Services and Infrastructure
The Service relies on third-party infrastructure, including but not limited to Google Firebase and Google Cloud Platform.
TripBudget does not control and is not responsible for the operational continuity, data processing practices, or contractual terms of such third-party providers.
Your use of the Service may be subject to additional terms imposed by those providers.
13. Intellectual Property
All intellectual property rights relating to the Service, including software code, algorithms, interface design, trademarks, logos, documentation, and related materials, are and shall remain the exclusive property of Breyne Engineering, unless expressly stated otherwise.

We shall not be liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.
15. Force Majeure
TripBudget shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance of the Service, in whole or in part, where such failure or delay results from events beyond our reasonable control.
Such events may include, without limitation, acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, earthquake, pandemic, governmental actions, regulatory changes, labor disputes, power outages, telecommunications failures, internet disruptions, cyberattacks, infrastructure failures, or outages affecting third-party service providers including, without limitation, Google Firebase or Google Cloud Platform.
During the occurrence of a force majeure event, our obligations under these Terms shall be suspended for the duration of such event to the extent they are affected.
