Terms of Use
These terms govern your use of Sybilla Travel. The Service is currently a private, invitation-only beta, offered free of charge. By signing in and using it, you accept what follows.
This is an experimental beta. Sybilla Travel is offered to a small number of invited people while it is being built. It is free, it may change or stop at any time, and it is not a finished commercial product. Please read section 9 before you put anything into it that you cannot afford to lose.
1.Who we are
Sybilla Travel (the “Service”) is operated by Filippo Leonelli, acting as a natural person and not through a company (“we”, “us”, “I”). The Service is provided on a personal, non-commercial basis.
You can reach us at info@sybilla.app for any question concerning these terms or the Service. Our full postal address is available on request to anyone with a legitimate interest in receiving it, and to any supervisory or judicial authority entitled to it.
2.What the Service does
Sybilla Travel lets you plan trips by building custom maps: you can create projects, add and organise places, attach images and notes, generate itineraries with the help of an AI assistant, share projects with other people and export your maps to KMZ.
The Service is provided as it is available at any given time. Because it is in active development, features may be added, changed or removed without notice, and the Service may be interrupted or discontinued altogether. Where we decide to shut the Service down, we will give you reasonable notice by email so that you can export your data.
3.Access and your account
You sign in with a Google account. You are responsible for keeping access to that account secure, and for everything done through your Sybilla Travel account.
Access is by invitation and entirely at our discretion. Creating an account does not by itself grant access: an administrator must enable it. We may withdraw access at any time, in particular where the beta is reduced, restructured or closed. Where the withdrawal is not due to a breach of these terms, we will give you reasonable notice and the opportunity to export your projects.
You must be at least 14 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18, you may use it only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
4.No charge, no commercial offer
The Service is provided free of charge. We do not ask you for payment, we do not sell plans, and nothing on this page constitutes a commercial offer. Any usage limits, quotas or credits shown in the app exist only to keep the running costs of the beta under control; they carry no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for money and are not transferable.
Should the Service become a paid product in the future, we will publish new terms and ask for your acceptance before any charge applies, as described in section 11. You will never be charged for the beta retroactively.
5.Your content
Everything you put into the Service — projects, places, notes, images, itineraries — remains yours. We do not claim ownership of it.
To run the Service we need a limited permission: you grant us a non-exclusive licence to host, store, copy, transmit and display your content, strictly for the purpose of providing the Service to you and to the people you choose to share a project with. This licence exists only so that the Service can technically function, it carries no right to exploit your content for other purposes, and it ends when you delete the content or your account.
You are responsible for what you upload. You confirm that you have the right to use the content you add, including any image, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights.
6.Acceptable use
While using the Service you agree not to:
- break the law, or use the Service to help someone else do so;
- upload content that infringes intellectual property, privacy or other rights of others;
- upload malicious code, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, to other users' data or to the systems that run it;
- interfere with the normal operation of the Service, for example through automated requests that place a disproportionate load on it;
- resell or redistribute the Service, or use it to build a competing product;
- circumvent usage limits, credits or quotas, or share your invitation with people who have not been invited.
7.The AI assistant
The Service includes an assistant that generates itineraries, suggestions and descriptive text.
You are interacting with an artificial intelligence system. The itineraries, descriptions and suggestions produced by the assistant are generated automatically by a language model. They are not written, selected or reviewed by a human being, and they are not travel advice from a qualified professional.
To produce an answer, the text of your request and the relevant parts of your project are sent to OpenRouter, which routes them to the language model — currently DeepSeek, operated from China. Your request is sent without your name or any account identifier, and our account is configured to exclude providers that reserve the right to train on submitted data. Because this involves a transfer outside the European Economic Area, please read section 3 of our Privacy Policy before using the assistant. Every other feature works without it.
Generated content is not verified. Opening hours, prices, travel times, accessibility and the very existence of a place may be inaccurate, outdated or entirely invented. Always confirm anything that matters — especially bookings, safety, and border or health requirements — with an official source before you rely on it. Decisions you take on the basis of generated content are your own.
8.Sharing projects, and use by professionals
You can share a project with other people, as viewer or as editor, including through a link. Anyone holding a share link can open the project with the permissions attached to it, so treat those links as confidential and revoke them when they are no longer needed.
When you share a project you remain responsible for the content it contains, including any personal data of third parties you may have added to it.
The Service is for planning your own travel. You may not use it to produce itineraries, plans or documents that you sell, license or otherwise supply to clients in the course of a business — including travel agency, tour operator or professional travel-planning activity — unless we have agreed to it in writing beforehand.
If you nevertheless use the Service for purposes relating to your trade, business or profession, you are not a consumer: the protections of the Italian Consumer Code do not apply to you, section 9 applies to you in full, and you agree that the courts of Rome, Italy have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. You remain solely responsible towards your own clients for anything you derive from the Service, and you agree to hold us harmless from claims brought by them.
9.Availability, liability and warranties
We work to keep the Service available and reliable, but as an experimental beta operated by an individual free of charge, it comes with no guarantee of availability, continuity or preservation of your data. Maintenance, failures of third-party providers, and causes beyond our reasonable control may make it unavailable, temporarily or permanently.
Keeping your data is up to you. The Service is not a backup system, and we give no undertaking to preserve your projects. If you want to be sure a trip survives — beyond the end of the beta, beyond a fault, beyond the Service itself — you must export it yourself to KMZ and keep that file somewhere of your own. A KMZ you have downloaded is yours indefinitely: it stays readable in other map software and does not depend on us in any way.
Do this regularly, and for anything you would be sorry to lose. We cannot recover what has not been exported.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, and we exclude implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose. Because the Service is supplied free of charge, our liability is limited to cases of wilful misconduct and gross negligence, in accordance with Italian law.
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for any other liability that cannot be limited under Italian law. If you are a consumer, your mandatory statutory rights are unaffected by these terms, and no clause here is intended to exclude or restrict them.
10.Intellectual property in the Service
The Service itself — its software, interface, name and graphics — belongs to us and is protected by law. Your access does not transfer any right to it beyond the personal, revocable, non-transferable permission to use the Service under these terms.
11.Changes to these terms
We may update these terms — for instance when features change or the law requires it. Every version carries its own date and stays available at a permanent address, so you can always check which text you accepted.
When a change is material — in particular any move to a paid service — we will ask you to accept the new version the next time you use the Service, and we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email before it takes effect. If you do not accept the new version, you can no longer use the Service: you may export your data and close your account, as described in section 12.
Editorial corrections that do not change your rights or obligations take effect when published, without a new acceptance.
12.Ending the agreement
You can stop using the Service at any time. Export what you want to keep to KMZ before you go: deleting your account removes your projects and the content associated with them, subject to the retention periods described in the Privacy Policy, and once that period has passed the deletion is final and nothing can be restored.
We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, or where we are required to do so by law. Except where an immediate measure is necessary, we will tell you why and give you a chance to respond. We may also close accounts when the beta ends, as described in section 3.
13.Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by Italian law. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and any dispute may be brought before the courts of your place of residence.
Before going to court, please write to info@sybilla.app: most problems are easier to solve directly. Consumers resident in the European Union may also use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform.
If any provision of these terms is found invalid, the rest remains in force.
