    • You are at least 18 years old or have obtained parental consent to use the platform.
    • You are legally authorized to use our services in your country.
    • You agree to abide by your local laws when using our platform, including those related to content sharing, privacy, and online conduct.

  3. 3. User Responsibilities

    By using Trippr Travel, users agree to the following terms, which outline their obligations while interacting with our platform:

    3.1. Account Security and Password Management

    • 3.1.2. Password Security: Users must ensure that their password is strong, containing a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using easily guessed passwords like "password123".
    • 3.1.3. Shared Responsibility: Security is a shared responsibility between Trippr Travel and the user. While we take every precaution to secure the platform, users must take steps to protect their own account information.

    • 3.2.2. AI-Generated Content: AI-generated content is welcome in the near future, but we strongly encourage users to share personal travel experiences, as they provide more authentic and relatable insights for our audience. While AI-generated content can offer valuable assistance, content that reflects personal journeys, unique perspectives, and real-life travel tips will likely resonate more deeply with the community and create a more engaging experience.
    • 3.2.3. Engagement in Good Faith: Users agree to engage with the platform and other users in good faith. Attempts to artificially manipulate engagement metrics (such as views, shares, or likes) through fraudulent means, including bots or click farms, are strictly prohibited.

    Users retain ownership of their travel itineraries and other user-generated content. However, by posting content on Trippr Travel, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license to modify, distribute, and promote your content within the platform and in connection with our marketing efforts.

    Dispute Resolution for Content Ownership

    If a content ownership dispute arises between users or with a third party, Trippr Travel will initiate an internal review.

In the event of unresolved disputes, users may seek arbitration or legal resolution outside the platform.

  5. 5. Content Moderation

  6. 6. Ad Revenue Sharing Model

    Trippr Travel offers content creators the opportunity to earn revenue from advertisements placed alongside their itineraries. The earnings will be held in escrow until the following conditions are met:

    • The content has achieved a minimum threshold of engagement metrics (such as views, shares, or likes), which will vary by country.
    • A minimum payout threshold has been reached, specific to each user’s location.

    Formula for Revenue Sharing:

    Earnings = (a x Views) + (b x Engagements) + (c x UniqueInteractions)

    Where:

    • a, b, c represent values for each metric, which are determined by Trippr Travel based on advertising revenue and engagement quality.
    • Engagements include meaningful interactions such as comments, shares, and link clicks.

    Dispute Resolution for Earnings:

    If a user disputes the calculation of their ad revenue, Trippr Travel will conduct an internal review of engagement metrics. If discrepancies are found, adjustments will be made. Disputes regarding payments that arise from suspected manipulation of metrics or fraud will lead to account suspension and an investigation.

    By sharing content on Trippr Travel, users agree to the following responsibilities:

    6.1. Metrics and Payment Structure

    • 6.1.1. Escrow Account: All earnings from the ad-revenue sharing program will be held in escrow until certain engagement metrics are met. These metrics include views, likes, shares, and meaningful interactions with content.
    • 6.1.2. Threshold for Payout: Users must reach a minimum payout threshold to withdraw their earnings. This threshold varies by country and will be communicated to users during the payout process.
    • 6.1.3. Linked Bank Accounts: Eventually, users will be able to link their bank accounts to facilitate seamless payments. Until then, alternative methods of payment, such as PayPal, may be used.

    6.2. Disputes over Payments

    • 6.2.1. Payment Disputes: If users believe there is a discrepancy in their earnings or payouts, they must contact Trippr Travel’s support team within 30 days of receiving the payment. Trippr Travel will investigate any disputes in good faith and adjust the payment if necessary.
    • 6.2.2. Fraud Prevention: Trippr Travel reserves the right to withhold payments if fraudulent activity is detected. This includes the use of bots, click farms, or any other methods to artificially inflate engagement metrics.
    • 6.2.3. Audit Rights: Trippr Travel reserves the right to audit user activities and engagement metrics to ensure compliance with the ad-revenue sharing program. Any discrepancies found during the audit may result in suspension or removal from the program.
