Definitions

Submitted Tip:

A Submitted Tip is any content entered into the Tip Description box that passes the following requirements. There is a 500-character limit, so most tips will easily fit in the Tip Submission box. Each tip must have a title (50 character limit), and the appropriate category chosen.

Carefully review all your information before clicking ‘Next,’ including the Authorship Credit radio button marking your desired credit. Also make sure you have checked the “Agreement to Terms” box. No tip will be accepted if this box is not checked.

Once all these requirements are met, click ‘Next,’ and the following page you see will be your payment verification screen. Your method of payment you chose when you registered will be automatically selected, but you can change your preference for any individual tip you submit. After you confirm your method and click the ‘Submit A Tip’ button, it goes into our data bank for review.

An Important Reminder: A SUBMITTED tip does NOT mean it has been ACCEPTED FOR PAYMENT.

To ensure Daytipper offers premium quality content, our editors must REVIEW your tip and decide whether or not it meets our criteria for publication. Daytipper has the right to refuse any tip for any reason. Any tip submitted to Daytipper becomes the intellectual property of Daytipper, which can use it at any time for any reason.

Accepted Tip (Pending Publish):

A Submitted Tip that passes the requirements of, but not limited to, proper titling and labeling, originality, usefulness, and other criteria, will be given the status of an Accepted Tip. An Accepted Tip means that it has been approved and will be published. Some Accepted Tips will be published on the next business day. Other Accepted Tips will take longer before they are published. It just depends on the tip, the tip category, and the number of tips already in the publish queue. Daytipper reserves and retains the right to use any Accepted Tip in any way the site deems fit, for an infinite amount of time.

Published Tip:

Once an Accepted Tip appears on Daytipper in any form to users other than editors, owners, staff, or other agents of Daytipper.com, it takes on the status of a Published Tip. Published Tips, like Submitted Tips and Accepted Tips, become the intellectual property of Daytipper.com, which may use it at any time for any reason.

In rare cases, a Published Tip may be removed from Daytipper at the behest of the editors or ownership of Daytipper.com, or a third party before payment is disbursed. In such a case, the tip that previously had both Accepted and Published status will have its status marked as Submitted. At a later time, the tip may regain Accepted and Published status. If it regains Published status, the submitter will not receive additional compensation.

Any time the status of any given tip changes, an email informing the submitter as such will be sent to the email address provided by the submitter.
