Terms
Last updated November 1, 2026
Jenda is a personal project in a pilot, built and run by Jon Black as an individual. There’s no company behind it yet. These terms are the agreement between you and Jon for using Jenda. When the business side is set up they’ll be revised, and you’ll be told first.
By creating an account or joining a trip, you agree to them. If you don’t, please don’t use Jenda.
It’s a pilot
Jenda is free and still changing. Features will come, go and move around, and there may be interruptions. Nothing you use for free today will start costing money without you being told first and choosing to pay.
Your account
You need to be at least 13. Keep your sign-in email secure: whoever controls that inbox controls your account. One person per account.
Trips and the people on them
A trip belongs to the people planning it. Hosts decide who’s on it and can change or remove what’s there. Anything you add to a trip can be seen by everyone on it, as the privacy page explains, so only add what you’re happy for the group to see.
What you add stays yours. To run the service, Jenda needs your permission to store it, process it (including with an AI model) and show it to the people on the trip. That permission ends when it’s removed from the trip.
Money
Jenda works out who owes whom, but no money moves through it. Payments happen in Venmo, Zelle or however your group likes to pay, under those services’ own terms. Amounts, currency conversions and the fewest-payments plan are worked out automatically and may not be exact, so check a figure before you pay it. Jenda isn’t a party to any debt between friends.
What Jenda reads for you
When something is dropped into a trip, an AI model suggests what it says. It can get things wrong, which is why someone on the trip checks every suggestion before it’s filed. Double-check times, places and amounts against the original booking.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Add anything unlawful, hateful, harassing or sexually explicit to a trip.
- Impersonate someone, or join a trip you weren’t invited to.
- Scrape the site, overload it with automated requests, or try to get into anyone else’s account or trip.
- Use a trip’s email address to send spam.
Anything that breaks these can be removed, and accounts can be suspended or closed for it. For anything short of clear abuse, you’ll be contacted first.
Leaving
You can leave a trip at any time, and ask for your account to be deleted; the privacy page explains what stays behind. Jon can also end or pause the service, or close an account that breaks these terms. If Jenda is ever shut down, you’ll get reasonable notice and a way to take your trips with you.
Warranty and liability
Jenda is provided as is, without warranties of any kind: no promise that it’ll be uninterrupted, error-free, or that nothing will ever be lost.
To the fullest extent the law allows, Jon isn’t liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages from your use of Jenda, including a missed booking or a wrong amount, and total liability for any claim is limited to US $50. Some places don’t allow limits like these, in which case they apply only as far as the law permits.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, USA, and disputes belong in the courts located there. If one part of these terms turns out not to be enforceable, the rest still stands.
Changes
If these terms change in a way that matters, you’ll hear about it by email or in the app before the change takes effect. Carrying on using Jenda after that means you accept the update.
