Please refer to our Privacy Policy [https://tiplink.io/privacy] for information about how we collect, use and share personal information about you. By using the Service, you expressly consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal data in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
Company reserves the right to change or modify this Agreement at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make changes to this Agreement, we will post the updated Agreement on the Website with a new “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Agreement. By continuing to access or use the Service at any point after such update, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Agreement and all of the terms incorporated therein by reference. We encourage you to review this Agreement frequently to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Service. If you do not agree to the revised Agreement, you may not access or use the Service.
- The Services
- Overview. The Services enable a software solution through which an individual (a “Sender”) is able to send Digital Assets to another person (a “Recipient”, together with Senders, the “Users”) using a URL or QR code (a “TipLink”).
- Connecting a Wallet. In order to engage with the Service and transfer Digital Assets to a Recipient, Users must either register for a Company Account (detailed below) and establish a non-custodial digital asset wallet (“Company Wallet”) or connect a third-party digital asset wallet (“External Wallet”) (each, a “Wallet”). The Services are not compatible with all External Wallets. See Website for a list of External Wallets compatible with the Services, which are subject to change in Company’s sole discretion.
- Funding a TipLink. After connecting a Wallet to the Services, Senders may transfer Digital Assets from such Wallet to a newly created TipLink. Each TipLink is itself a single-use non-custodial wallet and the Digital Assets held within the TipLink are moved and ledgered on the appropriate blockchain. Users may not transfer more Digital Assets to a TipLink than is otherwise held in the User’s connected Wallet. Company may determine, in its sole discretion at any time without notice, to place additional limits on Users’ ability to transfer Digital Assets to a TipLink, including without limitation daily limits, maximum transaction amounts, and limitations on the number of transactions that can be made in a given period of time.
- Sending a TipLink. Once a Sender creates a TipLink and transfers Digital Assets to the TipLink, the Sender is the only person with access to the TipLink. Company does not custody, log, or store TipLinks on behalf of Users. The Sender may then choose the form of the TipLink (URL or QR code), and share the TipLink to another person across any compatible medium (such as via mobile text, messenger applications, email, private direct message, etc.). Until another person accesses the TipLink, Sender may always access the TipLink they created and retrieve any Digital Assets held within the TipLink. Sender is fully and solely responsible for safeguarding any TipLink they create and for any consequence of sharing a TipLink.
- Receiving a TipLink. Once a Sender shares a TipLink with a Recipient, the Recipient is not in control of the Digital Assets held within it unless and until the Recipient accesses the TipLink. Once a Recipient accesses the TipLink, the Recipient may transfer the Digital Assets in the TipLink to a connected Wallet. If a Recipient does not have a Wallet connected to the Services, the Recipient will be prompted to connect an External Wallet or create a Company Account. At any time after accessing a TipLink, a User may scramble the TipLink and create a wholly new TipLink known only to them. The Digital Assets will remain held in the new TipLink until such time as the Recipient transfers such Digital Assets to a connected Wallet. Recipients are fully and solely responsible for safeguarding any TipLink they receive or re-create. Company does not custody, log, or store TipLinks on behalf of Users.
- Transferring Digital Assets. Company has partnered with CoinFlow, Inc. (“CoinFlow”) to enable Users to exchange Digital Assets held in a connected Wallet for fiat currency to be received by the User in an external bank account. Conversions of Digital Assets to fiat are provided separately and independently by CoinFlow. If Users elect to convert Digital Assets to fiat, Users will be transferred to a separate Coinflow domain to perform such conversion. Company is not a seller, exchange, or intermediary in any conversion of Digital Assets. User understands that Company is not a party to any agreement between CoinFlow and User and any conversion of Digital Assets to fiat is governed by CoinFlow’s Terms of Service [https://shdw-drive.genesysgo.net/35g84Hjwh713sUXnJoaDxyEHEpWYuWpXSG4AZtE3sy36/Coinflow%20Terms%20Of%20Service%2011_15.docx.pdf]. Company is not responsible for the availability, pricing, payment method, or eligibility of Digital Assets for conversion offered by CoinFlow, and Company makes no representations thereof. By engaging in a conversion of Digital Assets to fiat, User agrees to indemnify and hold Company harmless in any dispute arising from such conversion.
- Tracking. At all times during which a User holds Digital Assets in a Company Wallet, Company will internally ledger and track the User’s Digital Assets, such that it is aware of the quantity and type of Digital Assets that the User holds.
- All Rights Reserved. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service, or any features or parts thereof, whether temporarily or permanently, at any time, with or without notice to Users, in our sole discretion.

11. Assumption of Risk Related To Digital Assets
You acknowledge and agree that:
- The prices of digital assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could materially and adversely affect the Digital Assets, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. We cannot and do not guarantee that any Digital Assets you hold in a connected Wallet will not lose money.
- You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to actions involving your Digital Assets. Neither Company nor any other Company Entity is responsible for determining the taxes that may apply to you.
- Digital Assets exist and can be transferred only by virtue of the ownership record maintained on the blockchain supporting such Digital Assets. Transferring Digital Assets to a TipLink is a material change on the applicable blockchain ledger. Once moved to a TipLink, Senders and Recipients are solely responsible for safeguarding the TipLink until the attendant Digital Assets are retrieved into a controlled Wallet. Company does not custody or control the TipLinks and thus does not have the ability to recall TipLinks or otherwise undo or reverse transfers of Digital Assets to TipLinks. TipLinks and the Digital Assets they hold will be lost if Users lose the applicable URL or QR code of the TipLink. Company is not responsible for lost TipLinks.
- There are risks associated with using digital assets, including but not limited to, the risk of hardware, software and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to information stored within your Company Account or to any device on which the URL or QR code of the TipLink is saved. Similarly, there is a risk that a TipLink shared in a non-private setting will be accessed by an unintended Recipient. Company is not responsible for Digital Assets retrieved by unintended Recipients.
- TipLinks are randomly generated on your device using our Services. If the source of randomness generating such TipLink is compromised or undermined, the security of your TipLink may be at risk.
- The legal and regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Service and the utility of Digital Assets.
- There are risks associated with purchasing any Digital Asset, which risks include but not are not limited to, the risk of purchasing counterfeit assets, mislabeled assets, assets that are vulnerable to metadata decay, assets on smart contracts with bugs, and assets that may become untransferable.
- Due to no fault of Company, Digital Assets in your Company Wallet may become inaccessible on the Service. Under no circumstances shall the inability to access or view your Company Wallet on the Service serve as grounds for a claim against Company.
- Company has no responsibility for the Digital Assets bought or converted to fiat by our third party service providers. Company does not investigate and cannot guarantee or warrant the authenticity, originality, uniqueness, marketability, legality, or value of any Digital Asset created or traded on the Service.
12. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company and the Company Entities from and against all actual or alleged third party claims, damages, awards, judgments, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, interest, fees, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) and costs (including, without limitation, court costs, costs of settlement, and costs of or associated with pursuing indemnification and insurance), of every kind and nature whatsoever arising out of or related to this Agreement or your use of the Service, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, or suspected or unsuspected, in law or equity, whether in tort, contract or otherwise (collectively, “Claims”), including, but not limited to, damages to property or personal injury, that are caused by, arise out of or are related to (a) your use or misuse of the Service or Digital Assets, including, without limitation, any act or omission involving any TipLink hereunder; (b) any Feedback you provide; (c) your violation of this Agreement; (d) your violation of the rights of any third party, including another User; (e) any breach or non-performance of any covenant or agreement made by you; or (f) any off-chain benefits related to the Digital Assets. You agree to promptly notify Company of any third-party Claims and cooperate with the Company Entities in defending such Claims. You further agree that the Company Entities shall have control of the defense or settlement of any third-party Claims. THIS INDEMNITY IS IN ADDITION TO, AND NOT IN LIEU OF, ANY OTHER INDEMNITIES SET FORTH IN A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND COMPANY.
13. Disclaimers

DIGITAL ASSETS ARE INTANGIBLE DIGITAL ASSETS. THEY EXIST ONLY BY VIRTUE OF THE OWNERSHIP RECORD MAINTAINED IN THE APPLICABLE BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK. ANY TRANSFER OF TITLE THAT MIGHT OCCUR IN ANY UNIQUE DIGITAL ASSET OCCURS ON THE DECENTRALIZED LEDGER WITHIN THE BLOCKCHAIN. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT COMPANY OR ANY COMPANY ENTITY CAN EFFECT THE TRANSFER OF TITLE OR RIGHT IN ANY DIGITAL ASSET. WE CANNOT AND DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY DIGITAL ASSET WILL HAVE OR RETAIN ANY INHERENT VALUE, OR THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PURCHASE OR CONVERT ANY DIGITAL ASSET ACCESSED THROUGH THE SERVICE.
Company is not responsible for any losses or harms sustained by you due to vulnerability or any kind of failure, abnormal behavior of software (e.g., smart contract), blockchains, or any other features of or inherent to the Digital Assets. Company is not responsible for casualties due to developers’ or representatives’ delay or failure to report any issues with any blockchain supporting Digital Assets, including without limitation forks, technical node issues, or any other issues that result in losses of any sort.
Nothing in this Agreement shall exclude or limit liability of either party for fraud, death or bodily injury caused by negligence, violation of laws, or any other activity that cannot be limited or excluded under the laws applicable to your jurisdiction. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES IN CONTRACTS WITH CONSUMERS, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
14. Limitation of Liability

ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, THE SERVICE IS UNDERTAKEN BY YOU AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR ASSETS, COMPUTER SYSTEM, OR MOBILE DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA RESULTING THEREFROM.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT Company IS NOT LIABLE, AND YOU AGREE NOT TO SEEK TO HOLD Company LIABLE, FOR THE CONDUCT OF THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING OPERATORS OF EXTERNAL SITES, THIRD PARTY PROPERTIES, OR OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICE, AND THAT THE RISK OF INJURY FROM SUCH THIRD PARTIES RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF COMPANY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE, WALLETS, CONTENT, DIGITAL ASSETS, OR TIPLINKS USED BY YOU WITHIN THE SERVICE, EXCEED $100.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
15. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration.
Except as set forth in this section, you agree to resolve all disputes arising under or in connection with the Agreement through binding arbitration. If you seek arbitration, you must first send a written notice of the dispute to Company. You will use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute directly, but if you do not reach an agreement with Company within 30 days after the notice is received, either you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration will be conducted in English in the state of Delaware. If you and Company do not agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the applicable rules of the AAA for the appointment of an arbitrator, provided that the parties acknowledge and agree that any arbitrator must be reasonably experienced in the matters contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation blockchain technology and cryptoassets. The selection of an arbitrator under the rules of the AAA will be final and binding on you. The arbitrator must be independent of you and Company. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding on both you and Company, and the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The costs and expenses of the arbitration will be shared equally by both you and Company; however, if the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in arbitration is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 15 will not prohibit either you or Company from: (i) bringing an individual action in small claims court; (ii) seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction; (iii) pursuing an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; or (iv) filing suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claim. If this Section 15 is found to be unenforceable, you agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 16(f) will govern any action arising out of or related to the Agreement.
