What's allowed, and how to appeal

Tipsody is for thanking performers. These rules keep it a nice place for performers and guests. They're the short version of our terms.

Fine on Tipsody

• Tips of any size within the limits, with or without a song request.
• Tags, shout-outs, birthday wishes, banter and song requests of any kind, including explicit songs.
• A performer page with your name, photos, links and theme, as long as they're yours or you have permission.
• Saying no to a request. A request is a request: the performer decides what to play.
• Selling your own merch, CDs, prints, crafts and other goods that buyers collect from you in person.

Selling

If you sell on your page, you are the seller. You are responsible for what you sell, for refunds and for your buyers' rights. Tipsody only provides the page and the payment. Not allowed for sale:

• alcohol, tobacco or vapes;
• weapons;
• drugs;
• anything age-restricted;
• counterfeit goods;
• anything illegal.

Not allowed

On performer pages, tags, messages and feedback posts:

• threats, harassment or bullying;
• hate towards anyone because of who they are;
• sexual content, or anything sexual involving a child;
• scams, or pretending to be someone else, including a handle that copies another performer;
• using tips for fraud or to move money that isn't a genuine tip;
• anything else that breaks the law.

What happens

• Some words are masked automatically in tags and messages.
• A performer can report a message from their inbox and block the phone it came from. That phone can't tip or request on their page any more.
• Anyone can report a page with the “Report this page” link at the bottom of it. Every report reaches a person at Tipsody.
• A feedback post that several people report is hidden until we look at it.
• Depending on what we find, we may remove content, block a phone, or suspend a performer page. A suspended page can't take tips.

Think we got it wrong?

Email [email protected] and a person will look again. To help us find it quickly, tell us:

• your page handle (such as tipsody.com/your-name), or the page you were tipping on;
• roughly when it happened;
• what was removed or blocked, and why you think it should be put back.

We'll tell you what we decided. If we made a mistake, we'll undo it.

Seen something worrying?

Use “Report this page” on the page, or email [email protected]. If someone is in danger, call 999 (or your local emergency number) first.
