Terms of Service

Last updated: September 14, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of TipLink ("TipLink", "we", "us"), a payment-link and QR-code product operated by Waesta Enterprises. By creating an account, connecting a payment gateway, or making a contribution through a TipLink page, you agree to these Terms.

1. What TipLink is

TipLink lets creators share a personal link and QR code so their audience can send them money by mobile money. Every creator's payments are processed through their own account with WaestaPay, our licensed payment-processing partner - TipLink itself never holds contributor funds or directly touches mobile money credentials. WaestaPay's own terms govern the actual movement of money; TipLink is the interface on top of it.

2. Accounts

You must provide accurate information when creating a creator account, and keep your login credentials confidential. You're responsible for activity under your account, including any team members you invite.
Waesta ops connects your WaestaPay gateway on your behalf after verifying your details - this is deliberate, since it's where your real money gets routed (see PRD-driven "ops-provisioned gateway" model documented in our README).
We may suspend or terminate an account that violates these Terms, is used fraudulently, or is flagged during KYC review.

3. Fees

TipLink charges a platform fee on each contribution and a liquidation fee at settlement, both shown transparently before a contributor pays and on your dashboard. WaestaPay's own mobile-money charges apply on top of and independently from TipLink's fees. Current rates are shown in your dashboard and may change with notice.

4. Recurring "monthly support"

Mobile money does not support silent, card-style automatic billing. A recurring support tier works by sending the supporter a new payment prompt every month, which they must actively approve each time. A missed or declined prompt does not automatically cancel the subscription - either party can cancel it at any time (creators from their dashboard, supporters via the link provided when they subscribe).

5. Prohibited use

You may not use TipLink to collect funds for illegal activity, to solicit contributions under false pretenses, to launder money, or to circumvent WaestaPay's or any mobile money provider's own terms. We cooperate with law enforcement and regulatory requests where legally required.

6. Disclaimers and liability

TipLink is provided "as is." We do our best to keep the service available and contribution records accurate, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service, and we are not liable for losses arising from mobile money network outages, WaestaPay processing issues, or a contributor's own error (e.g. an incorrect phone number). Our liability for any claim is limited to the platform fees we collected from the transaction(s) giving rise to that claim.

7. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the product evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date; continued use of TipLink after a change means you accept the update.

8. Contact

Questions about these Terms can be sent to the support address shown in your dashboard.
