This policy applies to the Tipd website, web application and mobile application, including profiles, Teams, QR codes, links, payments and messages. It forms part of the Terms and Conditions of Black Bubble Solutions Ltd trading as Tipd.
Tipd is primarily designed for genuine, voluntary tips and donations connected with lawful activities. Other payments, including payments for goods or services, are permitted only where lawful and supported by the applicable Ryft account and payment arrangements, with any required prior approval. Follow section 2 of the Terms. A working payment page does not establish approval for every activity.
You must have authority to receive or administer funds and accurately describe the Recipient, actual seller where relevant, payment purpose, full price and sharing arrangement. For a sale, the seller is responsible for supply, licences, taxes, customer support, and applicable cancellation, return and refund rights. Do not misrepresent a compulsory price as a voluntary donation or tip. Obtain any approval required for advance payments, restricted sectors or changed activity before collecting those payments.
The Recipient or authorised Administrator must select a lawful platform-fee configuration and give accurate price information. Do not impose a prohibited payment-method surcharge, conceal mandatory charges or obtain an optional additional payment without consent required by law. Availability of a setting does not establish its legality for every use. Absorb the fee where passing it on is not lawful. These obligations do not remove Tipd's own legal responsibilities.
You may share assigned Tipd links and QR codes through your normal communications, materials and websites. People registering for Tipd accounts must be at least 18. Payers must have lawful authority to use their payment method, with any necessary permission if under 18.
You must not use Tipd to:
A prohibited use becoming technically possible does not make it permitted. If you are unsure whether an activity is allowed, ask us before collecting payments. A lawful fee setting does not override payment-provider restrictions or missing approvals.
Provide accurate account and verification information. Do not conceal beneficial ownership, business activity, the identity of a Recipient or the intended use of funds. Cooperate with reasonable verification and fraud enquiries.
Administrators must manage membership and permissions responsibly, explain sharing settings to members, and avoid misleading guests about who will receive a payment. Do not manipulate check-in or membership to divert someone else's tips. The whole-Team fallback when nobody is checked in is explained in the Terms.
Use Team performance and Gift Aid information only for authorised administration, reporting and other lawful purposes. Do not expose donor details, share exports without authority, or reuse them for unsolicited marketing.
You are responsible for profile text, images, names and messages you provide. They must be accurate where factual, lawful, and supported by the permissions needed to use them.
Do not upload or send content that infringes intellectual property or privacy, contains unlawful hate or threats, sexually exploits anyone, depicts child sexual abuse, harasses people, impersonates others, promotes crime, contains malicious code, or discloses someone else's sensitive information without a lawful basis. Do not put payment credentials, identity documents or passwords into public profiles or guest messages.
Do not post fake reviews, invented testimonials or misleading endorsements. Honest criticism, legitimate complaints and lawful reporting are not prohibited merely because they are unfavourable to Tipd.
Do not access another person's account without permission, bypass security or access controls, disrupt the service, overload systems, scrape personal data, send spam, introduce malware, or use unauthorised automation. Ordinary browser use, search-engine indexing permitted by us and authorised accessibility tools are not prohibited by this rule.
Do not copy, resell or reverse engineer our software or remove proprietary notices, except where applicable law permits it. Do not misrepresent a relationship with Tipd or a payment provider, reproduce branding outside authorised use, or replace a legitimate QR code with a misleading one.
Report a suspected security issue privately to support. Do not use a vulnerability to access unnecessary data or disrupt other users.
We may investigate reported or detected misuse, request information, remove content, warn an account holder, refuse transactions, or suspend or terminate access. Payments or payouts may be restricted where reasonably necessary for verification, security, suspected fraud, provider requirements or law.
We may arrange refunds or recover relevant amounts under the Refund Policy and section 9 of the Terms. We may share information with payment providers, competent authorities or law enforcement where lawful and appropriate, as explained in the Privacy Policy.
Our response will reflect the seriousness, evidence, risk and user history. We may act urgently before notice where necessary; otherwise we will provide an explanation and opportunity to respond where reasonable. We do not promise to detect all misuse, but this does not exclude any legal duty that applies to us.
To report misuse, an intellectual-property concern or a mistaken restriction, email support@tipd.co. Identify the profile, Team, content or payment, explain the issue, and provide relevant evidence. Do not include full card details or passwords. We may seek further information and review the action taken.
