Referral Tip Holding, Payout, and Account Compliance Policy

7.1. Wallet Holding and Payout Eligibility

When a user earns a referral tip through the TripTips platform, the funds are credited to their in-app wallet.
Users are not required to submit a W-9 form immediately upon receipt of their first referral commission.
Users may withdraw referral earnings at any time, unless or until they reach an aggregate total of $600 in commissions within a calendar year.

7.2. W-9 Threshold and Withholding Policy

Once a user’s total referral commissions reach or exceed $600 in a given calendar year, TripTips will require the user to complete and submit a valid IRS W-9 form before any further withdrawals can be processed.

Upon reaching the $600 threshold, users will be notified and prompted to complete their W-9 within a fourteen (14) calendar day compliance window.

During this 14-day period:

- All referral commissions in the user’s wallet will be placed in a locked state.
- Users will receive daily notifications and countdown reminders to complete their W-9 and update any required information.
- No further withdrawals or payouts will be processed until a valid W-9 form is received and verified by TripTips.

7.2A. Failure to Comply and Funds Reversal

If the required W-9 form is not submitted and approved within the 14-day compliance window, all unclaimed referral commissions in the user’s wallet will be automatically forfeited and processed as follows:

The full amount of unclaimed referral tips will be reversed back to the originating business (the business that issued the tip), minus any non- refundable payment processing fees and TripTips’ 30% platform fee, which are both retained by TripTips and the payment processor, respectively.
Users will forfeit any claim to such funds after the expiration of the 14-day compliance window.

TripTips will provide final notification to the user prior to the reversal of funds, stating the consequences of continued non-compliance.

7.2B. Ongoing Compliance

Users are responsible for maintaining accurate and up-to-date banking and tax information in their TripTips account at all times.

TripTips Referral Tip Forfeiture and Commission Policy

7.3. Referral Tip Forfeiture and Commission Retention

Referral Commission Earned Upon Transaction:
Upon completion of a successful referral—defined as a new customer making a qualifying purchase at a participating business via the TripTips platform, QR code, or related technology—TripTips immediately earns its 30% commission (“TripTips Fee”) for facilitating and delivering paying customer foot traffic to the business.

Unclaimed Referral Tips:
All referral payouts to referrers (the “Referrer Tip”) must be claimed by the eligible referrer within fourteen (14) calendar days of the qualifying transaction by linking a valid, KYC-compliant bank account or payment method within the TripTips platform.
Forfeiture of Unclaimed Tips:
If a referrer fails to complete KYC verification and/or connect a valid withdrawal method within the fourteen (14) day claim period, the unclaimed Referrer Tip will be deemed forfeited by the referrer and shall be returned to the originating business, less the TripTips Fee and any non-refundable payment processor fees.
No Refund of TripTips Fee:
TripTips’ commission is earned and non-refundable upon the delivery of a new, paying customer to the business, irrespective of the referrer’s subsequent withdrawal/KYC activity. In the event of forfeiture, only the remaining portion of the Referrer Tip (after deduction of the TripTips Fee and payment processor fees) will be refunded to the business. Under no circumstance will TripTips return its earned commission on completed transactions.
Notice of Forfeiture:
TripTips will provide notice via in-app notification and/or email to the referrer at least three (3) times within the fourteen (14) day claim period, advising them to complete their account setup to claim their tip. Failure to act within this window will result in automatic forfeiture per this policy.
No Custodial or Fiduciary Obligation:
TripTips does not act as a custodian, fiduciary, or escrow agent for unclaimed tips. All funds not claimed in accordance with this section are either returned to the originating business or retained by TripTips as expressly stated herein.

8.7 Independent Contractor Disclaimer & Liability Waiver

(A) Independent Contractor Status

TripTips, LLC (“TripTips”) operates a platform that allows individuals, including but not limited to rideshare drivers, influencers, business owners, and customers (collectively, “Referrers”), to earn commissions by referring new users to download the TripTips mobile application through referral links or QR codes.

(A 1) Independent Contractors and Third-Party Conduct

• TripTips operates solely as a technology platform that connects businesses with independent users, including but not limited to promoters, influencers, customers, and drivers (“Referrers”). All Referrers are independent entities and are not employees, agents, partners, or representatives of TripTips.

• TripTips does not control, direct, or monitor the behavior or content creation activities of Referrers. As such, any recordings, photographs, or media captured by Referrers while visiting a business listed on the TripTips platform are undertaken at their sole discretion and responsibility.

• Businesses acknowledge and agree that TripTips is not liable for any actions, omissions, or content created by Referrers, including but not limited to unauthorized filming, recording, or other conduct while on business premises.

• By listing a business on the TripTips platform, the business waives any and all claims against TripTips arising from Referrer conduct, and agrees to resolve any disputes directly with the Referrer.

• Businesses are solely responsible for enforcing their own in-store media, privacy, or filming policies. If a business does not allow recording or filming on-site, it is their obligation to clearly communicate and enforce such restrictions directly with Referrers by posting a: "No Photographs, Videography or Audio Recordings on premises" in the business listing description box on the TripTips mobile app.

• TripTips shall not be held liable for any damages, claims, lawsuits, or legal actions arising from third-party content creation or behavior, including claims of invasion of privacy, misrepresentation, defamation, or unauthorized commercial use of business likeness or premises.

TripTips will issue a Form 1099-NEC if your earnings exceed $600 within a calendar year, in accordance with IRS regulations.
Once a promotors account exceeds $600 within a calendar year the promoter will be prompted in the TripTips app to submit their Full Legal name, Social Security Number and legal mailing address to continue receiving future referral payouts.
Promoters will have up to 14 days to comply.
Should the promoter not comply within the 14 days the promoters TripTips referral payout account will be frozen and any referral funds will be returned to the original businesses that issued the referral payouts.
Promoters will still have access to the TripTips app to utilize all business discount offers but will no longer be allowed to accept referral "TIP" payouts until the promoter complies and submits their Full Legal name, Social Security Number and legal mailing address to continue receiving future referral payouts.
At such time the promoters referral account will be reinstated as "ACTIVE".

Any unauthorized, misleading, or unlawful promotional activities conducted by a Referrer.
