EU online dispute resolution platform can be accessed here.

Payment between users

When using the Service, the Advertiser and the Helper can send and receive payments for pick-ups, purchases and deliveries or transports of advertised objects.  

The payment service through which the Advertiser and the Helper can send and receive payments between them is provided by the third-party supplier Stripe Inc (www.stripe.com). By accepting these ToS or by continuing to use the Service and performing assignments for which you are paid, you will also be bound by Stripe Inc's general terms and conditions, as amended from time to time by Stripe Inc. As a condition of enabling payment services on the Website and in the App through Stripe Inc's care, you must provide Stripe Inc with correct information about yourself through Tiptapp.

Payments to the Helper’s registered bank account are activated:

  • when performing assignments where the Advertiser wishes to get rid of the advertised object: when recycling or reuse has been reported, reviewed and approved in accordance with Tiptapp's current procedures; and

  • when performing other assignments in the Service: when the assignment has been marked as completed.

Tiptapp charges a transaction fee for transactions made through the platform, according to Tiptapp's current fee level. The transaction fee is deducted from the payment received by the Helper from the Advertiser, after which the Helper keeps the remaining amount unless Tiptapp specifies otherwise.

An administration fee is charged to the Advertiser to cover part of Tiptapp's operating costs. This fee is only charged for advertisements where the assignment has been confirmed as completed.

Insurance cover

When you perform assignments advertised in the Service and when you advertise in the Service, the insurance cover that you may have taken out yourself applies and to the extent stated in the terms and conditions of your insurance. In addition, you may, in connection with your use of the Service for advertising, be offered the opportunity to purchase an insurance solution via a third-party. For such third-party insurance, the then current terms and conditions specified by the insurer and referred to in the Service apply.

When you perform assignments advertised in the Service you are covered by the insurance coverage from time to time taken out by Tiptapp, for the benefit of the users of the Service. In that case, the then current insurance cover only applies in the event that you do not receive compensation from the insurance cover that you have taken out yourself and which you must primarily claim in the event of damage. The scope of such insurance covers what is specified from time to time by Tiptapp. The insurance cover applies in the event of damage that occurs in connection with the performance of the assignment, provided that the conditions specified in the insurance at any given time are met.

Information on what current insurance cover Tiptapp can offer, what conditions apply, what deductible you must pay according to the conditions, and how you can report a damage, can be provided if you contact us at any of the methods listed under the heading “Contact Information” below.

Campaign code usage

In order to utilise the discount related to a campaign code the code must be entered before, or at the latest when, an ad is published. A campaign code is only valid for the ad categories where an Advertiser pays to get help. 

If nothing else has been communicated the campaign code and its related discount is valid the first time an Advertiser confirms and pays for a pick-up or a delivery.

Tiptapp reserves the right to deny the Advertiser a discount and to receive payment according to the promotional code if Tiptapp has reason to suspect abuse. Suspicion of abuse means, for example, that there is reason to suspect that the Advertiser and the Helper have carried out a sham transaction, or a transaction that appears to have been arranged in advance. Such grounds exist, for example, if the price quoted in the advertisement amounts to the discount or a large part of the discount without the price reflecting the value of the advertised item or the task performed, if the Advertiser and the Helper appear to be the same person, Or if the Advertiser and the Helper appear to have made arrangements for collection or delivery before the advertisement was published, for example if the Helper has not previously responded to any advertisement and is selected despite other users responding earlier, having better reviews or similar.

Indemnity

As a user of the Service you undertake to indemnify and keep Tiptapp harmless from any claims from third parties due to your use of User-Generated Content or due to your violation of the ToS, any applicable laws or general regulations or the rights of a third party.

Tiptapp’s liability

Tiptapp does not assume any responsibility and cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect damages, losses or costs that directly or indirectly, have been caused by your usage of the Website or the App or by you not being able to use the Website or the App.
