These Terms (known as Terms of Use) outline the agreement between users and Talentipper regarding the use of the platform. By accepting these terms, users acknowledge their understanding and compliance with the guidelines and regulations set forth by Talentipper.
Talentipper owns and operates the Talentipper application (the “App”) and website (www.talentipper.ca) (the “Website”) (collectively the App and the Website are the "Platforms").
These terms of use, including any policies referred to herein, set out the agreement (the "Agreement") between “you” as a Tipper (defined below) or “you” as a Performer or group of performers (defined below) and Talentipper (“we” or “us”) (the "Agreement") under which you may access and use the Platforms.
By accessing or using any part of the Platforms you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as the same may be amended as provided herein. If you do not agree with all of the terms set out in this Agreement you may not access or use the Platforms.
You may not access or use the Platforms if you are less than 16 years of age.
1. Talentipper may amend this Agreement at any time by posting a new Agreement on the Platforms in place of this one. We will post a notice that the Agreement has been amended on the Platforms. The amended Agreement will become effective 30 days after notice is given, except when required by law to take effect immediately. Your continued use of the Platforms following the posting of the amended Agreement and the notice of amendment will mean that you accept the terms of the Agreement as amended. If you do not agree with any of the terms or conditions in the amended Agreement, then you agree to immediately cease all use of the Platforms.
2. A tip can be paid by Google Pay, Apple Pay or by credit card. If by credit card, you will receive an SMS notification from the bank that issued your credit card asking you to confirm that it is you paying the tip with your cc and only once you confirm by return SMS to your bank that it is you making the payment with your credit card will the tip amount be taken from your cc.
When you send a Tip through the Platforms, your bank account will be charged immediately. Any transaction made through the Platforms is final and cannot be cancelled and you will not receive a refund once you make a payment.
Tippers may register an account on the Platforms but need not do so to tip a Performer. Without an account, Tippers may use the Services through the Website.
3. The Platforms provide users with an easy, convenient and fast payment service (the "Services") that allows audience members of a show (the “Tippers”) to pay a tip (the “Tip”) to one or more performers (the "Performers").
4. If you are in compliance with this Agreement, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Services and access the Platforms.
5. Non-compliance with this Agreement will result in termination and/or immediate and automatic suspension of your use of the Services and license to access the Platforms without prior notice to you, at our discretion.
6. Performers will be required to register an account on the Platforms to access the Services. The Platforms provide users with an easy, convenient and fast way to receive Tips. To receive Tips, you must set up a profile on the Platforms and provide your banking information to Stripe. Your identification will be verified, in way(s) determined by us in our sole discretion. We may refuse to accept a profile for any reason whatsoever. If we refuse your profile, you will not be allowed to access the Services. Your submission of this personal information through the Platforms is governed by our privacy policy which can be found here: https://www.talentipper.com/privacy-policy.html.
7. Provided you are following this Agreement, and you complete your profile set up with TT and with Stripe, you will be granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Services and access the Platforms.
8. Non-compliance with this Agreement will result in termination and/or immediate and automatic suspension of your use of the Services and license to access the Platforms without prior notice to you, at our discretion.
9. Registering as a performer on TalentTipper is completely free.
10. When a tip is sent, TalentTipper deducts $0.30 plus 5% of the tip amount. Most of this fee goes toward covering Stripe payment processing costs.
11. If a foreign credit card is used to pay a tip, then Stripe will charge the audience member sending the tip an addition 1-2% currency conversion fee. An example of a foreign credit card would be if a performance is taking place in Canada and an audience member uses an American cc to pay a tip.
12. The first tip usually takes 7 business days to reach the account of the intended performer. Subsequent tips usually take 2-3 business days. The speed at which the tip is received does depend on the Stripe settings chosen by a performer.
13. This Agreement will come into effect on your acceptance of the terms and conditions and will continue in force unless terminated. You may close your account at any time..
16. We may immediately suspend or terminate your access to the Services for any reason. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of such suspension or termination.
