1. These terms
These terms cover the Travan browser extension and this website. By using either, you agree to them. How Travan handles data is explained in the privacy policy.
2. What Travan is
Travan is a free tool that shows the price history of products on online stores. The history is built by its users ("travelers"): each time a traveler opens a product, the price they see joins a shared history.
3. Prices are for information only
- Prices come from what travelers saw on store pages, from Travan's weekly checks, and from public archived copies of pages. They can be wrong, out of date or incomplete.
- Dates in the history show when a traveler saw a price, not the exact moment the store changed it.
- Travan doesn't sell anything and isn't part of any purchase. The store's own page, price and terms are what count. Always check them before you buy.
- Travan isn't responsible for buying decisions made using its information.
4. Stores and discount codes
Travan isn't affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any store shown in it. Store names and trademarks belong to their owners and are used only to say which store a price came from.
Discount codes shown in Travan come from the stores' own programs. The store's terms apply to them, and they can change, run out or stop working at any time.
5. Playing fair
Please don't:
- send fake prices, or try to change the history in a misleading way
- flood Travan with requests, use automated tools against it, or try to get around its limits
- try to access data or systems that aren't meant for you, or interfere with Travan working for others
- use Travan for anything unlawful
Travan may ignore, remove or block activity that breaks these rules.
6. The shared history
The prices you add become part of the shared history. You allow Travan to store them and show them to everyone, also after you stop using it. Using Delete my data removes the link between those prices and your traveler code, as explained in the privacy policy.
7. No guarantees
Travan is provided "as is", without promises that it will always work, be available, or be accurate. Features can change, and Travan or parts of it may stop at any time.
8. Limits of responsibility
As far as the law allows, Travan and the people behind it aren't liable for any loss or damage from using, or not being able to use, Travan or its information, including money spent or saved on purchases.
9. For website owners: CaravanBot
To keep price histories up to date, Travan's server revisits public product pages about once a week. Its requests identify themselves as CaravanBot (from Travan's original name). It:
- reads and follows your robots.txt, including any crawl delay
- waits at least 5 seconds between requests, and backs off when a site refuses it
- reads only the product's name and price, never accounts, carts or personal data
- never visits stores whose terms don't allow automated tools
To stop it, add this to your robots.txt. It takes effect on its next visit:
User-agent: CaravanBot
Disallow: /
Price history from the Internet Archive is read from archive.org's public copies, not from your website.
10. Law
These terms follow the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
11. Changes and contact
If these terms change, we'll update this page and the date at the top. Using Travan after a change means you accept the new terms.
Questions: use Send feedback in Travan, or reply to any email we've sent you.
