Last Updated: Jul 03, 2020

Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”, “Terms of Use”) carefully before using the Tipp Web Application (the "Service") operated by Composir Studios Limited (“us”, “we”, or “our”).

Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who access or use the Service.

Creating a User Account

In order to access and use certain sections and features of the Tipp Services, you must first create an account with Tipp (“User Account”).

 

If anyone other than yourself accesses your User Account and/or any of your User Platforms’ settings, they may perform any actions available to you (unless as specifically stated otherwise on the Tipp Services), make changes to your User Platform(s) and User Account, and accept any legal terms available therein, make various representations and warranties and more – and all such activities will be deemed to have occurred on your behalf and in your name.

 

Therefore, we strongly encourage you to keep the log-in credentials of your User Account confidential, and allow such access only to people you trust - as you will be solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under your User Account and/or User Platforms (including for any representations, warranties and undertakings made therein), whether or not specifically authorized by you, and for any damages, expenses or losses that may result from such activities.

 

You must provide accurate and complete information when registering your User Account and using the Tipp Services, to which you are the sole and exclusive rights holder. We strongly encourage you to provide your own (or your company’s) account and billing details, including your valid e-mail address, as we may use it to identify and determine the actual and true owner of the User Account and/or User Content (as defined below) submitted to us.
