As soon as your balance reaches above $.03 you can request a payout. At this point it is required that you provide an e-mail address associated with a PayPal or Dwolla account. When you request the payout we will reduce your TipWorthy account balance to 0 and your PayPal or Dwolla account will be credited with 24 hours.

It is the receivers responsibility to ensure your e-mail address is correct in our system, the company is not liable for incorrect e-mail addresses. The company is also not responsible for setting up the receiver’s PayPal or Dwolla account. If you provide an e-mail address that does not exist in the specified service, PayPal or Dwolla will send you an e-mail with instructions to create an account and will hold your money until you do. The Company is not responsible for unclaimed funds. Your rights are determined by PayPal or Dwolla, whomever you choose. When you transfer money from your TipWorhty balance to your linked PayPal/Dwolla account, your payment processor will govern the transfer.

In most cases there will be a fee associated with requesting a pay out. Receivers will be notified at the time of requesting a Pay Out if there is a fee and then amount and then can determine if they want to request a Pay Out. For a full list of current fees please refer to our FAQ page.

iv. Risk of Reversals, Chargebacks and Claims

When you receive a tip, you are liable to Company for the full amount of the tip plus any fees if the tip is later invalidated for any reason. This means that, in addition to any other liability, you will be responsible for the amount of the tip, plus applicable fees if you lose a claim or a chargeback. If a sender of a tip later disputes the tip or files a claim for a tip, the credit card issuer or the originating bank, not Company, will determine whether the dispute is valid and to whom payment is due. You agree to allow Company to recover any amounts due to Company by debiting your balance. If there are insufficient funds in your balance to cover your liability, you agree to reimburse Company through other means. If Company is unable to recover the funds from your primary funding source, Company may attempt to contact you, Company may recover the funds from your alternate funding sources, or may take other legal actions to collect the amount due, to the extent allowed by applicable law.

f. Tip Investigation

Tip investigation is a process by which Company reviews certain potentially high-risk transactions. If a tip is subject to an investigation, Company will place a hold on the tip and may provide notice to the recipient. Company will conduct a review and either clear or cancel the tip. If the tip is cleared, Company will provide notice to the recipient. Otherwise, Company will cancel the tip and the funds will be returned. Company will provide notice to the tipper by email and/or in the account history tab of your TipWorthy account if the tip is canceled.

This assignment applies only to interest earned on your funds, and nothing in this Agreement grants Company any ownership right to the principal of the funds you maintain with Company.

If the balance in your account is negative for any reason, Company may set off the negative balance by deducting amounts you owe Company from money you receive into your account, or money you attempt to withdraw or send from your account. You agree to allow Company to recover any amounts due to Company by debiting your balance. If there are insufficient funds in your balance to cover your liability, you agree to reimburse Company through other means. If Company is unable to recover the funds from your primary funding source, Company may attempt to contact you, Company may recover the funds from your alternate funding sources, or may take other legal actions to collect the amount due, to the extent allowed by applicable law.

i. Release of Item Hold

Company will release the payment hold after 21 days unless we receive a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal on the transaction subject to the hold. Company may release the hold earlier if the sender of funds provides us confirmation, Company is able to confirm proper delivery, or Company otherwise completes its investigation.

If your account is subject to a reserve, Company will provide you with notice specifying the terms of the reserve. The terms may require that a certain percentage of the amounts received into your account are held for a certain period of time, or that a certain amount of money is held in reserve, or anything else that Company determines is necessary to protect against the risk associated with your account. Company may change the terms of the reserve at any time by providing you with notice of the new terms.

10. Resolution Procedures for Unauthorized Transactions and Other Errors

a. Protection for Unauthorized Transactions and Other Errors

When an Unauthorized Transaction (defined below) or Other Error (defined below) occurs in your account, including Unauthorized Transactions that occur because your TipWorthy mobile-activated phone has been lost or stolen, Company will cover you for the full amount of every eligible Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error as long as you follow the procedures discussed below.

An “Unauthorized Transaction” is a type of error that occurs when money is sent from your account that you did not authorize and that did not benefit you. For example, if someone steals your password, uses the password to access your account, and sends a payment from your account, an Unauthorized Transaction has occurred. However, if you give someone access to your account (for example, by giving them your login information) and they conduct transactions without your knowledge or permission, you are responsible for any resulting use. Such transactions are not considered Unauthorized Transactions.

In addition, “Other Errors” occur when money is either incorrectly credited to your account or incorrectly debited from your account, or when transactions are incorrectly recorded in your account. Other Errors that are covered by Company are limited to the following events: (i) if you send a payment and we debit an incorrect amount from your account; (ii) if we credit an incorrect amount to your account; (iii) if a transaction is missing from or not properly identified in your account statement; and (iv) if there is a computational or mathematical error by Company. Routine inquiries about your balance or the status of a pending transfer into or out of your account are not considered Unauthorized Transactions or Other Errors unless you expressly notify us of an Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error in connection with the transfer. Requests for information for tax or other recordkeeping purposes and requests for duplicate documentation also are not deemed to be Unauthorized Transactions or Other Errors. You may request documentation or information regarding your account or transaction to determine whether an Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error exists by contacting us through the “Contact Us” link on the TipWorthy website.

b. Notification Requirements

You should immediately notify Company if you believe:

There has been an Unauthorized Transaction, unauthorized access to your account, or the occurrence of an Other Error;
There is an error in your transaction history or your transaction confirmation sent to you by email;
Your password has been compromised;
Your TipWorthy mobile-activated phone has been lost, stolen or deactivated; or
You need more information about a transaction listed in your transaction history or transaction confirmation email.
To be eligible for 100% protection for Unauthorized Transactions sent from your account, you must notify us within 60 days after any Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error first appears in your account statement. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the account statement was made available to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

You should regularly log into your account and review your transaction history to ensure that there has not been an Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error. Company will also send an email to the primary email address on file in order to notify you of each transaction from your account. You should review these emails to ensure that each transaction was authorized and is accurate.

For Unauthorized Transactions or Other Errors in your account, notify us as follows:

By writing to us through http://tipworthy.co under the “Contact Us” tab; or
By emailing us at support@tipworthy.co; or
By writing to:
BadMamu, Inc.
150 E 27th St. Apt LB
New York, NY 10016

When you notify us, provide us with all of the following information:

Your name, and the email address and phone number registered to your account;
A description of any suspected Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error and an explanation of why you believe it is incorrect or why you need more information to identify the transaction; and
The dollar amount of any suspected Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error.
If you notify us orally, we may require that you send us written confirmation within 10 Business Days. During the course of our investigation, we may request additional information from you.

c. Company Actions After Receipt of your Notification

Once you notify us of any suspected Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error, or we otherwise learn of one, we will do the following:

We will conduct an investigation to determine whether there has been an Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error that is eligible for protection.
We will complete our investigation within 10 Business Days of the date we received your notification of the suspected Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error. If your account is new (the first transaction from your account was less than 30 Business Days from the date you notify us), we may take up to 20 Business Days to complete this investigation. If we need more time, we may take up to 45 days to complete our investigation (or up to 90 days for new accounts).

If we decide that we need more time to complete our investigation, we will provisionally credit your account for the amount of the suspected Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error. You will receive the provisional credit within 10 Business Days of the date we received your notice (or 20 Business Days for new accounts). This will allow you to have use of the money until we complete the investigation. We will notify you of the provisional credit within 2 Business Days of the crediting. If we ask you to provide written confirmation and we do not receive it within 10 Business Days (or 20 Business Days for new accounts), we will not provisionally credit your account.

We will inform you of our decision within 3 Business Days after completing our investigation. If we determine that there was an error, we will promptly credit the full amount of the error into your account within 1 Business Day of our determination. Or, if you have already received a provisional credit, you will be allowed to retain those amounts.

If we decide that there was not an Unauthorized Transaction or Other Error, we will include an explanation of our decision in our email or other communications to you. If you received a provisional credit, after giving you 5 Business Days advance notice of the date and amount of the debit, we will remove it from your account. You may request copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

d. Processing Errors

We will rectify any processing error that we discover. If the error results in your receipt of less than the correct amount to which you are entitled, Company will credit your account for the difference. If the error results in your receipt of more than the correct amount to which you are entitled, Company will debit the extra funds from your account. If the error resulted in our not completing a transaction on time or in the correct amount, we will be liable for your losses or damages directly caused by this failure, unless: (a) through no fault of ours, you did not have enough available funds to complete the transaction, (b) our system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transaction, or (c) circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood or loss of Internet connection) prevented the transaction, despite our reasonable precautions.

13. Your Liability – Actions We May Take

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the TipWorthy Services is in conformance with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.

a. Your Liability

You are responsible for all reversals, chargebacks, claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability incurred by Company, a TipWorthy user, or a third party caused by or arising out of your breach of this Agreement, and/or your use of the TipWorthy Services. You agree to reimburse Company, a user, or a third party for any and all such liability.

You acknowledge that you are responsible for the accuracy of all payments sent using the TipWorthy Services, including but not limited to the accuracy of the amount paid and the recipient. Company shall not be responsible or in any way held liable due to inaccurate payments, including but not limited to sending an incorrect amount of money or sending money to an incorrect recipient.

b. Actions by Company

If we have reason to believe that you have engaged in any restricted activities, made excessive or unexplainable transactions, violated any parts of this Agreement or provided any incorrect information, we may take various actions to protect Company, another TipWorthy user, a third party, or you from reversals, chargebacks, claims, fees, fines, penalties and any other liability. The actions we may take include but are not limited to the following:

We may close, suspend, or limit your access to your account or the TipWorthy Services (such as limiting access to any of your funding sources, and your ability to send money, make withdrawals, or remove financial information);
we may contact users who have sent you money, contact your bank or credit card issuer, and warn other users, law enforcement, or impacted third parties of your actions;
may update inaccurate information you provided us;
we may refuse to provide our TipWorthy Services to you in the future;
we may hold your funds for up to 180 days if reasonably needed to protect against the risk of liability; and
we may take legal action against you.
Company, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to terminate this Agreement, access to its website, or access to the Service for any reason and at any time upon notice to you and payment to you of any unrestricted funds held in custody for you.

14. Account Closure, Termination of Service, or Limited Account Access

If we limit or close your account or terminate your use of our Services for any reason, you may contact us and request restoration of access if appropriate. However, if we deem you violated this Agreement, restoration is at our sole discretion.

You may stop using the TipWorthy Services at any time or may close your accounts by contacting us. Company, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to terminate the TipWorthy Services, to terminate this Agreement, or to terminate your access to the TipWorthy Services for any reason and at any time. If we terminate or limit your use of our TipWorthy Services for any reason, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of our actions.

15. Policy Violation – User Fines

If Company incurs any damages because you violate our policies, break any laws, or otherwise cause Company to suffer any damages or incur any expenses then we may hold your funds up to 180 days, fine you for each such violation and take legal action against you to recover additional losses, investigation costs, fines, or legal fees we may incur. You acknowledge and agree that a fine of US $2,500.00 for violations of our Agreement is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of Company’s damages, considering all currently existing circumstances, including the relationship of the sum to the range of harm to Company that reasonably could be anticipated and the anticipation that proof of actual damages may be impractical or extremely difficult. Company may deduct such fines directly from any existing balance in the offending account, or any other TipWorthy account you control.

16. Disputes with Company

b. Law and Forum for Disputes; Arbitration

The forum for arbitration shall be in the city closest to your residence having a federal district courthouse. The arbitrator shall not conduct any form of class or collective arbitration nor join or consolidate claims by or for individuals. To the extent allowed by applicable law, the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this User Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this User Agreement is void or voidable.

This User Agreement and each of its parts evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the United States Arbitration Act shall apply in all cases and govern the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration rules and arbitration proceedings.

There are only two exceptions to this agreement to arbitrate. First, if we reasonably believe that you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. Second, any claim of $500 or less may, at the option of the claiming party, be resolved in small claims court in New York City, New York, if the claim and the parties are within the jurisdiction of the small claims court. For these two exceptions, you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within New York City, New York for the purpose of litigating such claims or disputes.

c. Waiver of Right to Jury; Class Action Waiver

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, YOU AGREE TO IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR OTHER COURT TRIAL (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT) OR TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING FILED AGAINST US AND/OR RELATED THIRD PARTIES.

17. Liability of Company for Failure to Complete Transfers

If Company does not complete a transfer to or from your account, or using your saved payment information, on time or in the correct amount according to this Agreement, Company will be liable for your losses or damages to the extent required by law. Company will not be liable:

If, through no fault of Company’s, you do not have enough money in your balance, and Company is unable to charge the transaction to your linked credit card, for reasons including but not limited to you exceeding any applicable credit limit;
the funds in your account are subject to legal process or other encumbrance restricting their use;
If the TipWorthy Services were not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer;
If the failure results from a failure of a financial institution that issues the credit card or debit card linked to your account, or Company is unable to access a linked credit card for any reason other than due to Company’s fault;
If you provided inaccurate or incomplete information regarding the transfer;
If the transfer appears suspicious, fraudulent, or unauthorized, and Company cannot confirm that it is a legitimate transfer, or if the account of either user involved in the transfer is under investigation by Company or if the transfer is or appears to be prohibited by any applicable law or rules

18. Disclaimers of Warranty; Damages Exclusions

Unless otherwise prohibited by law, you assume all responsibility for your use of the TipWorthy Services and use them at your own risk. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, all such representations, warranties, guarantees and conditions are disclaimed, including, but not limited to, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, noninfringement of intellectual property rights, or other terms which might otherwise be implied by statute, common law or in equity. Company does not warrant that the services will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the services, or the servers that process information for the services, are free of viruses, bugs or other harmful components. On behalf of Company, Covered Third Parties, and each of our respective affiliates, vendors, agents and suppliers, Company makes the following disclaimers set forth in this section: the services are provided on an “as is”, “as available” and “with all faults” basis, without any representations, warranties, guarantees, or conditions of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, but not limited to, any warranty as to the use or operation of the services, or the information, content or other materials related to the services, whether provided by Company or any of the Covered Third Parties. Neither Company nor any of the Covered Third Parties warrant nor make any representations regarding the use or the results of the services in terms of correctness, accuracy, timeliness, reliability, or otherwise. You assume the entire cost of all necessary maintenance, repair, or correction to any equipment you use in accessing any of the services, including, but not limited to, your mobile phone or other device.

Neither Company, the Covered Third Parties nor any of their respective affiliates, vendors, agents or suppliers will be liable for, and you agree not to seek against any of the foregoing, any damages of any kind arising from the use of the services, including, but not limited to, indirect, special, incidental, punitive, exemplary, consequential damages or damages resulting from the use of service, loss of use of the service, lost data, lost profits, or business interruption arising out of or in any way connected with the use of the services, any delays in the services, or the inability to use the services, or any portion thereof, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or otherwise, even if all or any of us have been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Company does not have any control over any services that are tipped for with our application.

Company will make reasonable efforts to ensure that requests for electronic debits and credits involving bank accounts, credit cards, and check issuances are processed in a timely manner but Company makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing because Company is dependent upon many factors outside of our control, such as delays in the banking system or the U.S. or international mail service.

SOME STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE AND JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.

19. Limitations on Liability

Except as otherwise EXPRESSLY provided in this agreement, and to the extent permissible under applicable law, Company’s cumulative liability to you for any claims or damages arising out of or related to your use of the TipWorthy Services shall not exceed the greater of the fee you paid to Company for the use of the TipWorthy Services or $1.00 USD.

These limitations on liability apply to: anything related to a service or any application or content made available through any such service; and claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, guarantee or condition, strict liability, negligence, or other tort to the extent permitted by applicable law. These limitations on liability also apply even if: repair, replacement or a refund for the service does not fully compensate you for any losses; or Company or a Covered Third Party knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages.

These limitations on liability will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Some states or other jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability so the foregoing limitations may not apply to you. You may also have other rights that vary from state to state and jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
