Venue Registration

These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between Tiplor Inc. ("Tiplor," "we," "us," or "our"), a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and you ("User," "you," or "your") - whether as an Artist, Venue, or both - when you create an account, access, or use the Tiplor website located at https://tiplor.com (the "Platform").

By registering an account or using the Platform to receive tips, display QR codes, list events, or engage in related activities, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy (available at https://tiplor.com/privacy), and any additional guidelines we post. If you do not agree, do not create an account or use the Platform.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction (18 in most Canadian provinces) and capable of entering binding contracts. If registering on behalf of a business, group, band, or venue, you represent that you have full authority to bind that entity.

2. Account Types and Representations

2.1. Artists

Artists include musicians, bands, solo performers, buskers, DJs, comedians, and other live entertainers.

By registering as an Artist, you represent and warrant that:

• You (or your group) perform live and are the rightful recipient of tips intended to support your performances.
• All content you upload (bio, photos, messages, profile links) is accurate, does not infringe third-party rights, and complies with applicable laws.
• You will only use tips for lawful purposes related to your artistic activities.

2.2. Venues

Venues include bars, clubs, restaurants, event spaces, lounges, festivals, and similar locations hosting live performances.

By registering as a Venue, you represent and warrant that:

• You have authority to act on behalf of the venue and to display QR codes or promote tipping for performing artists.
• You will not misrepresent your relationship with any Artist or collect tips on behalf of an Artist without their explicit consent.
• Any events listed on the Tiplor calendar are accurate and you have necessary permissions to host them.

3. Permitted Use of the Platform

You may use the Platform to:

• Create a public profile with bio, photos, social links, and custom URL (e.g., tiplor.com/@yourname).
• Generate and display a unique QR code to receive tips from fans via Stripe (no app required for tippers).
• (Artists) Receive real-time tip notifications and manage payouts to your verified bank account.
• (Venues) List upcoming events on the public calendar, embed or display Artist QR codes, and support tipping during events.
• Promote your profile, events, or calendar listings via social media, flyers, or your website.

You agree not to:

• Use the Platform for non-tipping purposes (e.g., selling merchandise, tickets, or services - this is a tipping platform only).
• Solicit or accept tips under false pretenses or for non-performance-related purposes.
• Harass, spam, or impersonate others.
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or interfere with the Platform.
• Violate any laws, including anti-money laundering rules or tax obligations.

4. Payments and Fees

• Tips are processed by Stripe (our third-party payment processor).
• Service fee: We charge 15% per successful tip; this includes Stripe standard processing fees.
• Payouts: Artists may set automatic daily payouts or manual withdrawals to a verified Canadian (or supported international) bank account. Minimum payout thresholds and any banking fees apply.
• You are solely responsible for reporting and paying all applicable taxes on tips received (e.g., income tax, GST/HST if registered). Tiplor does not provide tax advice or withhold taxes.
• Refunds: Tips are generally final and non-refundable except where required by law or Stripe policy (e.g., chargebacks). You agree to cooperate with any dispute resolution.

5. Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of content you upload (subject to any third-party licenses). By posting, you grant Tiplor a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, and promote that content on the Platform and in marketing (e.g., featuring artists on homepage). You warrant you have all rights necessary to grant this license.

Tiplor owns all Platform-related IP (design, code, trademarks like "Tiplor").

6. Termination and Suspension

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violations of these Terms, suspected fraud, chargeback abuse, legal requirements, or inactivity. Upon termination, your profile and QR code become inactive, but accrued (unpaid) tips will be processed per Stripe rules (subject to any holds).

7. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Platform is provided "as is." We do not guarantee continuous availability, error-free operation, or any minimum tip amount. We are not responsible for fan behavior, payment disputes, tax obligations, or losses from chargebacks.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tiplor's total liability shall not exceed the fees we received from your account in the 12 months preceding the claim. We exclude indirect, consequential, or punitive damages.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Tiplor, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from claims arising from your use of the Platform, breach of these Terms, infringement of third-party rights, or violation of law.

9. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of Ontario located in Toronto.

10. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms. Continued use after posting constitutes acceptance. Material changes will be notified via email or Platform notice.
