Terms of Service

Article 1 (Purpose)

These Terms set out the rights, obligations, and other necessary matters between DORODORA (the "Platform") and creators and supporters in connection with the online tipping and related services provided by the Platform (the "Service").

Article 2 (Definitions)

1. Creator means a content creator who signs up for the Platform and can receive tips.
2. Supporter means a user who uses the Service to make a monetary tip payment to a creator.
3. Tip means a voluntary payment made in connection with content or services provided by a creator and is not a charitable donation, personal remittance, or peer-to-peer money transfer.
4. TTS message means a feature that converts text written by a supporter into voice and plays it on the creator’s stream.
5. Video tip means a feature through which a supporter specifies a YouTube video URL and playback segment for playback on the creator’s stream.
6. Widget means a browser source inserted into broadcasting software such as OBS to display tip alerts.

Article 3 (Effect and Changes)

1. These Terms become effective when posted on the service screen or otherwise notified to creators and supporters.
2. The Platform may change these Terms as permitted by applicable law. Changes that materially affect users’ rights or obligations will be announced in advance in the manner and within the period required by applicable law. Other changes, including those required for legal compliance, urgent security measures, correction of typographical errors, or changes not adverse to existing users, may take effect upon posting.
3. If a creator or supporter does not agree to amended Terms, they may stop using the Service and delete their account.

Article 4 (Signup and Accounts)

1. Creators and supporters may sign up through third-party authentication (OAuth) such as Google, Twitch, or Discord.
2. Creators and supporters must provide accurate information and may not sign up by using another person’s information.
3. Each account owner is responsible for account management and may not transfer or share an account with a third party.
4. Creators using PayPal payments must comply with applicable PayPal terms and policies and provide accurate information required for account connection and payments.
5. Creators connect their recipient account by logging in with PayPal and consenting to share their account identifier and confirmed email address. The Platform stores this information to identify the recipient of tip payments.
6. Disconnecting the account stops new tip payments through that connection. Existing transaction and refund records remain subject to the applicable retention requirements.

Article 5 (Service Description)

The Platform provides services including the following.

1. A feature for supporters to send tips and TTS messages to creators
2. A video tip feature that lets supporters submit a YouTube video URL, playback segment, and message for playback or display on a creator’s stream
3. An OBS widget feature that lets creators display tip alerts on stream
4. A console feature that lets creators manage tip settings such as minimum amount, voice, volume, maximum video playback duration, and video cost per second
5. Payment, settlement, and PayPal account connection features through PayPal

Article 6 (Payments and Fees)

1. Tips are processed with PayPal Checkout and paid directly into the creator’s PayPal account. PayPal’s applicable terms and policies apply.
2. For PayPal payments, the supporter’s legal name and email address may be visible to the creator, and the creator’s legal name and email address may be visible to the supporter. Using a nickname on the Platform does not guarantee anonymity with the other party in PayPal transactions. Disclosure depends on PayPal account types, settings, payment methods, and applicable policies, as described in the Privacy Policy.
3. The tip fee is 0%; no platform fee is added to the tip amount. PayPal processing, currency conversion and withdrawal fees are separate and follow the applicable PayPal terms and fee policies. This does not change fees recorded for previous payments.
4. The video tip amount is calculated based on the creator’s video cost per second, the playback duration selected by the supporter, and the minimum tip amount, and is displayed before payment.
5. Refunds, reversals and disputes are handled under applicable law and the payment provider’s applicable terms and policies.
6. Creators are responsible for determining, reporting, and paying taxes arising from their tips. The Platform may collect, retain, submit, or report tax information and transaction records when required by law or PayPal policy.
