This policy explains how coin top-ups via the Apple and Google stores, refunds, the VIP subscription, rewards, and related financial controls work on Tapylapy, including the platform's protective rights to review, hold, suspend, or reject transactions where necessary.
1) Scope & Definitions
This policy applies to all payments inside Tapylapy related to coins, virtual balance, the VIP subscription, rewards, and withdrawals. It may not govern other services or products that have separate policies.
- Coins: virtual balance used inside Tapylapy for purchases, support, or platform features. Coins are not cash, bank deposits, or stored-value money.
- Coin top-up: any transaction in which you pay real money through the Apple or Google store to receive coins in your Tapylapy account.
- Rewards: any discretionary balance Tapylapy grants to creators based on their activity on the platform, as described in our AML/KYC & Rewards Policy.
- Withdrawal: an approved payout process, executed through the Company's own payment channels, that allows a verified creator to receive eligible rewards after review and approval.
Please note that the precise classification of coins — coins topped up with real money via Apple/Google, reward coins earned through your activity as a creator, and free or promotional coins/winnings — is set out in full detail in our Terms of Service and our AML/KYC Policy; this policy only summarizes the general financial rules that apply to these categories without repeating that full classification here.
2) Coin Top-Up via Apple & Google
- On iOS devices, coin top-ups are processed exclusively through Apple In-App Purchase.
- On Android devices, coin top-ups are processed exclusively through Google Play Billing.
- After a successful purchase through the Apple or Google store, your payment is converted into virtual coins shown in your account for use inside Tapylapy only.
- Coins cannot be used outside Tapylapy and are not a bank account, deposit product, or freely transferable monetary instrument.
- You are responsible for reviewing the transaction details inside the Apple or Google purchase interface before confirming a top-up, including the amount and the payment method linked to your Apple/Google account.
- Tapylapy may temporarily pause coin top-up channels entirely for operational reasons (such as maintenance or a security review), without any obligation of prior notice.
If you actually completed payment through Apple or Google (you were charged) but the corresponding coins were not added to your account — whether due to a temporary pause of top-up channels, a technical error, or a connectivity failure — contact us at [email protected] within 14 days of the transaction with your transaction ID, and we will add the owed coins to your account or direct you to a refund from the store.
3) No-Refund Policy
Once a coin top-up is successfully completed through the Apple or Google store and the balance appears in your account, the transaction is final from Tapylapy's side. We do not refund coin purchases directly, except where required by applicable law or in the event of a clear technical error caused by Tapylapy.
Important: The decision to approve or deny a refund for a purchase made through the App Store or Google Play rests exclusively with Apple or Google, under their own refund policies. Tapylapy does not control or guarantee that outcome. To request a refund for a purchase, contact:
- Apple — via support.apple.com/billing (for iOS purchases).
- Google Play — via support.google.com/googleplay (for Android purchases).
- Not using your coins or changing your mind after purchase does not entitle you to a refund from Tapylapy.
- User-side mistakes, including incorrect account, amount, or payment details, are not valid grounds for a refund from Tapylapy.
- Tapylapy may request documents or additional information in the event of a payment dispute or objection.
Paid post promotion: when you spend coins to run an ad campaign for a post, the campaign's full budget is reserved from your balance immediately, then consumed gradually based on actual views or clicks. Any portion not consumed is automatically refunded to your balance once the campaign ends naturally or is cancelled by you — unlike the original coin top-up transaction via Apple/Google (non-refundable from Tapylapy as described above), the unconsumed portion of a promotion campaign's budget is not final and is genuinely refunded.
Payments by a minor: real money actually paid by a minor (without Tapylapy's knowledge at the time of payment) is subject to a limited, proportional refund exception, under the terms set out in our Terms of Service — it is not treated as an ordinary refund case.
4) Bonus & Promo Coins
Tapylapy may sometimes provide free coins, bonuses, or promotional rewards through campaigns, contests, support programs, or internal reward systems.
- Promo or bonus coins are intended for in-platform use only.
- Free or promotional coins cannot be redeemed for cash.
- Promo or bonus coins do not count as rewards eligible for withdrawal.
- Tapylapy may modify, suspend, or cancel any promotion or reward program at any time.
Avatar frames, necklaces, premium usernames, gift effects, and any other decorative items obtained through spending or support are in-app display benefits only. They do not constitute independent property or a resellable asset, and are subject to the no-refund policy described in Section 3; Tapylapy may modify, remove, or withdraw them upon account closure due to a violation, without compensation.
5) VIP Subscription
Tapylapy offers an optional VIP subscription that grants additional in-app benefits, obtained by spending Tapylapy coins — not a direct cash payment or an auto-renewing subscription billed through the Apple or Google store:
- VIP is purchased using your in-app coin balance, the same way you purchase any other virtual item or feature on Tapylapy.
- VIP does not auto-renew. It grants additional benefits for a fixed period only (as shown in the app at the time of purchase), and those benefits automatically end at the end of that period unless you spend additional coins to manually renew it yourself.
- The coin price and validity period are clearly shown inside the app before purchase.
- Because VIP is purchased with Tapylapy's internal coins, it is subject to the same no-refund coin policy described in Section 3 above, not to Apple's or Google's auto-renewable subscription refund policies.
6) Rewards
Verified creators may receive rewards from Tapylapy based on their activity on the platform (live-hour earnings, view earnings, and gifts/support they receive), under platform criteria detailed in our AML/KYC & Rewards Policy.
These rewards are discretionary and granted by the platform; they are not wages or income from a direct business activity with Tapylapy, and they do not create any employment, agency, or partnership relationship.
The controls, conditions, and protective measures (such as freezes or eligibility review) described in this policy are anti-fraud and financial-system-integrity measures only, and do not in any way constitute supervision or control over how a creator does their work, and do not create an employment or agency relationship; Tapylapy has no obligation to provide any work, a minimum level of opportunities, continuity, or exclusivity to any creator.
7) Reward Withdrawals
Withdrawal of eligible rewards is currently live for verified creators who have passed identity verification and meet the minimum follower/view thresholds. Tapylapy processes withdrawal requests and transfers amounts due directly via PayPal (a business account registered in SULTAN X LTD's name) or a direct bank/international transfer to the creator's own receiving method, depending on what is available for the creator's country, with no local agent involved. Withdrawal applies only to eligible rewards generated from your activity on the platform, not to funds you personally used to top up coins or to any other incentive rewards.
Specifically, withdrawable coins are limited to four sources: live-hour earnings, post-view earnings, gifts received during a live stream, and support/tips received on your posts. Top-up coins and every kind of incentive reward — lucky-wheel prizes, task rewards, referral-program rewards, weekly live-league and creator-level rewards, birthday gifts, and treasure-box winnings — remain spendable inside the app only and can never be withdrawn or converted to cash, no matter how large your balance of them grows. See our AML/KYC & Rewards Policy for full details.
A coin's withdrawal eligibility is fixed at the moment you receive it, not at the moment you request a withdrawal: support/gifts received before you became a verified creator remain permanently non-eligible for withdrawal even if you become a creator afterward; live-hour and post-view earnings only ever accrue once you are a verified creator, with no retroactive credit for the period before; and if your creator status is revoked, your then-eligible unwithdrawn balance permanently loses eligibility and does not come back even if you are approved as a creator again later. Full details in our AML/KYC & Rewards Policy.
- You must pass the identity verification described in our AML/KYC Policy before any withdrawal request is approved.
- Withdrawal is not an automatic or absolute right and remains subject to review, internal controls, and legal compliance requirements before any transfer is executed.
- Tapylapy sets minimum and maximum withdrawal amounts and review and processing periods; the available payout method (PayPal / direct international transfer) may vary by the user's country.
For more details on the regulatory status of accrued reward funds and the absence of escrow segregation, see AML/KYC Policy — Section 8.
8) Top-Up & Withdrawal Limits
Tapylapy may impose minimum or maximum limits on top-ups, withdrawals, reward flows, or other internal value transfers, whether globally or based on account type, jurisdiction, verification level, or risk profile.
- Top-up and withdrawal limits may differ from one user to another.
- We may change such limits at any time to protect the platform's financial system, comply with law, or reduce fraud and abuse.
- The existence of financial or operational limits is a legitimate risk-control measure and does not create any entitlement to unrestricted access.
9) Exchange Rate, Fees & Taxes
Tapylapy does not apply a flat fee percentage deducted from your withdrawal amount. Instead, Tapylapy coins and rewards operate on two separate exchange rates, set by the platform and subject to change from time to time, with no requirement that they be equal:
- Top-up rate (buying coins): the actual amount you pay via Apple or Google for each coin, clearly shown in the purchase interface before you complete a transaction.
- Reward-to-USD conversion rate (withdrawal rate): a separate rate set by the platform to convert a verified creator's points/rewards into withdrawable USD balance. This rate is clearly shown in the "Creator Studio" section of the app before you complete any conversion or withdrawal request, so you know the actual value before collecting your reward. This rate is fully independent of the top-up rate, is not guaranteed to equal it, and may change from time to time at the platform's discretion. The difference between the two rates is the mechanism by which Tapylapy may derive an operating margin from top-ups and withdrawals.
- Additional transfer fees may apply depending on the withdrawal method available in the app and the channel used, separate from the exchange rate above and outside Tapylapy's control.
- You are responsible for any personal tax reporting, declarations, or liabilities arising from your rewards or withdrawals in your country.
10) Freezing, Holds & Suspension
Tapylapy may freeze, hold, suspend, delay, restrict, or reserve any rewards, payouts, top-ups, or withdrawals if the platform believes there is a legitimate legal, operational, financial, compliance, or security reason to do so.
- This includes suspected fraud, money laundering, unusual activity, policy violations, payment disputes, abuse signals, or serious reports.
- We may place payouts or rewards on hold while a review, verification process, or request for supporting documents is ongoing.
- We may also reject, reverse, withhold, or cancel certain rewards if they are found to be invalid, abusive, unauthorized, or generated in violation of platform rules.
Account Termination for a Serious Violation: if your account is suspended or deleted because you committed a serious violation of the Terms of Service or our policies — as defined under "Serious Violation" in our Terms of Service — that is governed by the Termination for a Violation clause in our Terms of Service — termination takes effect immediately with no advance notice, and any coin balance or unwithdrawn rewards present in your account at that time are forfeited without cash compensation and with no possibility of recovery. Violations that do not rise to the level of a "serious violation" do not trigger this immediate full forfeiture, and are instead addressed through the proportionate corrective or restrictive measures described in the Terms of Service.
Discontinuing the Service Entirely: if Tapylapy decides to shut down the Service permanently (not just suspend a specific account or reward, and for reasons unrelated to your own violation), that is governed by the Termination & Suspension clause in our Terms of Service, including at least 30 days' advance notice and the ability to use your balance or request withdrawal of eligible rewards during that window. Any coin balance not used, or not requested for withdrawal where eligible, by the end of that window is forfeited without cash compensation — Tapylapy coins are an in-app usage balance only, as described in Section 1.
11) AML & Fraud Prevention
All top-up, reward, and withdrawal activity is governed by our full AML/KYC policy, which describes identity-verification procedures, sanctions screening, monitoring of suspicious activity, and record-keeping periods.
12) Chargebacks & Misuse
Attempting to reverse a payment through Apple, Google, or your bank after using those funds to obtain coins, without a valid reason, may be treated as abuse, bad faith, or fraud.
- Tapylapy may freeze accounts, restrict features, or suspend balances where abusive chargebacks are suspected.
- We may recover or deduct losses, fees, penalties, or damages caused by unjustified chargebacks from your balance, rewards, or future payouts.
- Repeated misuse may lead to permanent suspension and further legal or regulatory escalation where appropriate.
13) Platform Protective Rights
To protect its financial, operational, and legal interests, Tapylapy reserves the right to take any reasonable or necessary action to prevent losses, abuse, exploitation, systemic risk, regulatory exposure, or contractual harm.
- We may stop, limit, deny, or suspend top-ups, withdrawals, or reward features at any time where legitimate interests require it.
- We may request additional documents or conduct renewed verification of the account, identity, transaction history, or related activity.
- We may correct accounting or technical errors, reverse balances, or cancel rewards generated through bugs, abuse, exploits, or policy violations. If the technical or administrative error was actually caused by Tapylapy itself (not a third-party provider) and it harmed your balance, handling it is subject to the terms described in the Limitation of Liability section of the Terms of Service, including the request deadline and required proof.
- We may revise or revoke a user's eligibility for reward or withdrawal features based on our reasonable assessment, while allowing the user to submit an appeal via [email protected] within 30 days of the decision. This appeal right covers a challenge to the decision itself (such as a ban, account suspension, or eligibility review), not necessarily the fate of any reward balance confiscated or reversed as a result; even where an appeal succeeds and the original decision is overturned, restoring the confiscated balance remains at Tapylapy's own discretion rather than an automatic entitlement of the user, consistent with the wording set out in our Terms of Service and Account Deletion Policy.
Once an appeal is submitted, Tapylapy aims to decide on any appeal with complete supporting documentation within 30 business days of receipt, with the ability to extend this period in complex cases upon notice to the appellant.
The 30-day appeal right described above does not cover freeze, hold, or confiscation decisions related to suspected fraud or money laundering under the AML/KYC Policy — such decisions are governed exclusively by the internal review process described in that policy, with no commitment to a fixed appeal timeline, given their investigatory and regulatory nature.
Tapylapy aims to complete its internal review of any suspected fraud or money-laundering case within 90 days of the freeze. If no explicit final decision is issued within this period, the absence of a ruling is deemed an implicit final decision maintaining the freeze, which automatically opens the user's right to the amicable-settlement path and then the litigation process set out in the Terms of Service.
This appeal process (30 days) must be exhausted before initiating any amicable-resolution procedure or litigation under the Terms of Service; the 60-day amicable-resolution period set out in the Terms of Service does not begin until a final decision has been issued on this appeal.
14) Age & Eligibility
All features in this policy (top-ups, the VIP subscription, rewards, withdrawals) are available exclusively to persons 18 years or older, under our Terms of Service and AML/KYC Policy.
15) Changes to This Policy
Tapylapy may update this policy from time to time, especially when changing fees, thresholds, withdrawal rules, verification requirements, financial compliance rules, or platform features.
The latest version will be posted on this page and becomes effective upon publication unless otherwise stated. For material changes, we will try to provide clearer notice inside the platform.
