Terms
Last changed 13 November 2026
Kip the Hiker is provided by Kugen Segaran. By using it you agree to these terms. Questions go to hello@kipthehiker.com.
What you may do
- Put Kip on any screen you own or are allowed to use, for yourself and the people around it.
- Keep and share the photos he takes, for personal use.
What you may not do
- Use a trail link that isn't yours, or try to guess one.
- Get around the limits, overload the service, or copy it, scrape it or take it apart.
- Sell Kip, his art or his photos, or use them to advertise anything.
Your trail link
Anyone with your trail link can control your Kip. Keep it to your household. If it gets out, delete the trail and start a new one.
Messages to Kip
Kip's replies are written by an AI model from Anthropic. They can be wrong, odd or off topic. Don't rely on them and don't send personal details. Trails get a few replies a day; after that, or when the service is busy, Kip answers with a line of his own. Messages that are abusive, sexual or dangerous get a short reply about the trail and nothing more.
Kip himself
Kip, his world, his art, his sounds and the software are owned by Kugen Segaran. All rights reserved. Using Kip gives you no rights in them beyond these terms.
No warranty
Kip is provided as it is. He may change, pause or stop. We try to keep him running and your photos safe, but we promise neither.
Liability
As far as the law allows, Kugen Segaran is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for lost photos or data. Nothing here limits liability that the law does not let us limit.
Ending
You can stop at any time and delete your trail from the app. We may delete a trail that breaks these terms, and a trail nothing has reached for 90 days is deleted on its own.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, and the courts of Singapore decide any dispute.
Changes
If these terms change, the date at the top changes too. Using Kip after that means you accept the new terms.
