Eligibility

2.1 Age Requirement

You must be at least 18 years of age to register a TravDigi account. By registering you confirm you are 18 or older. Children under 18 may only use TravDigi as dependents under a verified adult's account and cannot hold independent accounts.

2.2 Accurate Information

You must provide accurate, complete, and truthful information when registering. You must not register using another person's identity, a false identity, or fraudulent documents. Doing so is a serious violation of these Terms and may constitute a criminal offence under applicable laws including the Indian Penal Code and Information Technology Act 2000.

2.3 One Account Per Person

Each person may hold only one TravDigi traveler account. Your name and email address are permanently locked after registration and cannot be changed. Multiple accounts or transfers of accounts are not permitted and will result in immediate termination of all associated accounts.

2.4 Hotel Eligibility

Hotels registering on TravDigi must be a legally registered business in their jurisdiction, must provide a valid hotel registration licence upon request, and must have the authority to agree to TravDigi's Data Processing Agreement on behalf of the hotel. Any person registering a hotel account confirms they have legal authority to bind the hotel to these Terms.

Account Registration & Verification

TRAVELER ACCOUNTS
3.1 One-Time KYC Verification

Traveler registration requires a one-time identity verification — uploading a government-issued ID (passport, national ID, or driving licence) and recording a short live video holding the ID. This verification is reviewed by TravDigi's human verification team. Verification is a one-time process — once verified, you do not need to re-verify at any hotel.

3.2 Verification Outcome

TravDigi reserves the right to approve or reject any registration at its sole discretion. Rejection will be communicated by email. Rejected applicants may reapply with corrected documentation. TravDigi does not guarantee approval of any registration.

3.3 Re-Verification

Any change to your profile — including document updates, photo changes, or addition of dependents — triggers automatic QR suspension and requires re-verification before your QR is reinstated.

3.4 Document Expiry

TravDigi monitors document expiry dates. When your registered document is approaching expiry, you will receive notification to update it. Expired documents result in QR suspension until a valid document is re-verified.

3.5 Dependent Profiles

Verified adults may add children under 18 as dependents under their account for family travel. Dependents do not hold independent accounts and their data is managed through the adult account holder's account.

HOTEL ACCOUNTS
3.6 Hotel Registration

Hotels register through the TravDigi hotel portal by providing hotel details, owner information, and staff account details. Account activation requires submission of a valid hotel registration licence and acceptance of TravDigi's Data Processing Agreement. The hotel portal is available to all hotel types globally — hotels, hostels, resorts, guesthouses, and Airbnbs.

3.7 Staff Accounts

Hotel owners are responsible for creating and managing staff accounts, assigning appropriate access levels, and removing access promptly when staff members leave or change roles. TravDigi is not responsible for any actions taken by staff members using accounts created by hotel owners.

3.8 Account Security

Hotels are responsible for maintaining the security of their portal login credentials. TravDigi is not liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorised access to hotel accounts due to credential compromise by the hotel or its staff.

TravDigi Services — What We Provide

4.1 Dynamic QR Check-In

Verified travelers receive a dynamic QR code that rotates every 60 seconds and is usable exactly once per check-in. The QR code is cryptographically invalidated after each scan. TravDigi makes no guarantee that all hotels in all locations will accept TravDigi QR check-in — hotel adoption is voluntary.

4.2 Offline Functionality

The TravDigi traveler QR code is generated locally on the traveler's device and functions without internet connectivity. This allows check-in at remote locations with poor or no internet signal.

4.3 Digital Guest Register

TravDigi provides hotels with a digital guest register that records check-in and check-out timestamps and guest identity references. Hotels using TravDigi are not required to maintain a separate paper register for guests checked in through TravDigi, subject to confirmation of applicable local law in each jurisdiction. Each hotel is responsible for verifying the compliance requirements of their specific jurisdiction.

4.4 Walk-In Check-In

Hotels may check in guests without the TravDigi app by collecting basic guest details through the hotel portal. Walk-in guests will receive an email notification with an invitation to activate a full TravDigi account. The notification email includes an unsubscribe option.

4.5 Compliance Reports

Hotels may generate watermarked, timestamped PDF compliance reports for submission to police, immigration, or other legal authorities. Reports are generated on demand. All compliance reports include TravDigi's watermark, timestamp, and unique audit reference.

4.6 Travel History

Registered travelers can view their complete personal check-in history through the TravDigi app. This history is visible only to the traveler and to no other party including TravDigi administration.

4.7 Basic Property Management System

The hotel portal includes a basic property management system (PMS) with guest history, date-wise search, and reporting functionality. This is included in the hotel subscription at no additional charge.

4.8 Service Availability

TravDigi aims to maintain 99% service availability but does not guarantee uninterrupted service. Scheduled maintenance, emergency downtime, and circumstances beyond TravDigi's control may result in temporary service interruption. TravDigi will communicate planned downtime in advance where possible.

5

You agree not to use TravDigi for any of the following:

  • Registering with false, fraudulent, or another person's identity documents
  • Sharing your QR code with any other person for any reason
  • Attempting to scan a QR code more than once or replay a used QR token
  • Attempting to access, extract, copy, or scrape any data from TravDigi systems beyond your own permitted access

  • Using TravDigi to facilitate any criminal activity including identity fraud, human trafficking, or terrorism
  • Photographing, screenshotting, or recording any guest identity data visible through the hotel portal
Consequences of Misuse: Violation of acceptable use terms will result in immediate account suspension or termination. Serious violations — including identity fraud, criminal activity, or data misuse — will be reported to relevant law enforcement authorities. TravDigi's permanent audit logs provide a complete record of all platform activity and will be made available to authorities upon lawful request.
