Terms of Use
Last updated 20 October 2026
Feral Travels is operated by Samuel Shirley, an individual based in Spain ("we"). These are the terms of use for the website and the iOS app, and they are the app's end-user licence agreement. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to them. If you do not, do not use the service.
What the service is
Feral Travels helps you plan and follow long road trips: routes, daily legs, stops, vehicles, and fuel planning, with an assistant called Penny you can talk to.
Free access, then a subscription
A new account gets 7 days of free access from the day it is created. No payment is taken and you do not give a card. Every message to Penny costs us money, so very heavy use can end the free access sooner. The app tells you when it has ended.
After that, using the app needs a subscription, monthly or annual. Without one, Settings stays open, so you can always subscribe, restore a purchase, sign out or delete your account.
- Subscriptions are sold through Apple's App Store, at the price the app shows for your country before you buy.
- Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
- The subscription renews automatically at the end of each month or year unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. The renewal is charged to your Apple Account within the 24 hours before the period ends.
- You manage and cancel it in your Apple Account settings: on iPhone, Settings → your name → Subscriptions. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for.
- Refunds are handled by Apple, under Apple's policies, at reportaproblem.apple.com. If Apple refunds a payment, the access it paid for ends.
- Deleting your account does not cancel the subscription. Apple bills it, so cancel it in your Apple Account settings too.
A subscription covers normal use of Penny. If an account's use goes far past that, Penny can be paused for it, and the app says so.
Your account
You sign in with your email address or with Google or Apple. One email address is one account. Keep access to that email secure — anyone who can read it can sign in as you. Tell us at sam@feraltravels.com if you think someone else has got into your account.
Routing, fuel and range figures are estimates
This is the most important thing on this page. Distances, drive times, fuel ranges, and suggested refuelling points are estimates produced from map data and from the vehicle figures you enter. They are decision support, not a guarantee.
Map data goes out of date. Fuel stations close, run dry, or turn out to be card-only at 3am. Real consumption varies with load, weather, terrain and how you drive. On long unserviced stretches the margin between a plan and a problem is thin, and it is yours to manage.
You remain solely responsible for your own driving decisions, for carrying enough fuel, and for your safety and that of your passengers. Verify anything that matters before you rely on it.
Your content
Your trips, notes, photos and messages remain yours. You grant us only the permission needed to run the service for you — storing that content, and sending the relevant parts to the providers listed in the Privacy Policy, such as sending your messages to Anthropic so Penny can reply. Nothing is published or shared with other users.
Acceptable use
Do not use Feral Travels to:
- break the law, or help anyone else do so;
- upload content you have no right to upload;
- attack, overload, scrape or reverse-engineer the service, or work around its rate limits;
- access anyone else's account or data.
Accounts doing any of the above may be suspended or removed, with notice where it is practical to give it.
Availability
The service is provided as-is. There is no uptime guarantee, features may change or be removed, and it depends on third-party providers that can fail independently of us. If the service is ever discontinued, you will be given reasonable notice and a way to export your trips.
Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from reliance on route, fuel or timing information, for lost data, or for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
As a consumer, you keep all the rights Spanish and EU consumer law gives you; these terms do not take them away.
Ending it
You can delete your account at any time, yourself, in the app or on the website: Settings → Delete account. It is immediate and cannot be undone. Your trips, vehicles, conversations with Penny and sign-in details go at once. The Privacy Policy sets out the little that is kept afterwards. Deleting the account does not cancel an App Store subscription; cancel that in your Apple Account settings.
We may close an account that breaches these terms.
Apple's standard terms
If you got the app from the App Store, Apple's standard licence terms for apps also apply. Apple is not responsible for the app or for supporting it — we are.
Changes
These terms may be updated. The date at the top changes, and for anything significant you will be told in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the change.
Governing law
These terms are governed by Spanish law, and disputes fall to the Spanish courts, without affecting any right you have as a consumer to bring proceedings where you live.
