Terms of Service

Last Updated: 17 June 2026

Welcome to Timp. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Timp platform, desktop application, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the "Platform"), operated by Meiwa (Pty) Ltd ("Meiwa", "Timp", "we", "our", or "us").

By creating an account, accessing, or using Timp, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

1. About Timp

Timp is a digital marketplace that connects buyers seeking digital services ("Seekers") with student service providers ("Timpers").

Timp acts solely as a facilitator and marketplace. We do not directly provide the services listed by Timpers and are not a party to agreements formed between Seekers and Timpers.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to create an account or use the Platform.

By using Timp, you represent and warrant that:

  • You are at least 18 years old.
  • You have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements.
  • All information you provide is accurate and up to date.

3. User Accounts

Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their accounts.

You agree to:

  • Provide accurate information.
  • Keep login credentials confidential.
  • Notify Timp immediately of unauthorized account activity.
  • Accept responsibility for activities occurring under your account.

We reserve the right to remove accounts that contain false information or are used for fraudulent purposes.

4. Timper Verification

To improve trust and safety, Timpers may be required to submit:

  • Student number
  • Student identification card
  • Selfie photographs containing the student identification card
  • Other verification information as reasonably requested

Providing false verification information may result in removal from the Platform.

5. Location Tracking

Timpers may enable or disable location tracking at any time through the Platform. Location tracking is entirely optional and is not required to use Timp.

When location tracking is enabled, a Timper's location may be collected and displayed to Seekers through the Platform for service transparency and operational purposes.

When location tracking is disabled, no location information will be collected or shared with Seekers.

6. Services and Listings

Timpers may offer paid or free services through the Platform.

Timpers are solely responsible for:

  • Service descriptions
  • Service quality
  • Communication with Seekers
  • Timely completion of work

Seekers are responsible for providing accurate instructions and requirements necessary for completion of a Timp.

7. Payments

All payments are processed through Paystack or authorized payment providers.

Seekers pay the full service price upfront.

Funds paid for a Timp are temporarily held by Timp for a period of seven (7) days (168 hours) following service completion.

If no complaint is submitted during this period, funds may become eligible for release to the Timper in accordance with these Terms.

8. Timper Earnings and Withdrawals

Timp charges a flat or percentage-based commission on paid services, as follows:

  • R15 – R30 Timps: R3 flat commission
  • R31 – R50 Timps: R4 flat commission
  • R51 – R99 Timps: R6 flat commission
  • R100 and above: 6% commission

Timpers become eligible to withdraw earnings fifteen (15) days after successful completion of a Timp.

The minimum withdrawal amount is R55.

Withdrawal requests below this threshold cannot be processed.

A R3 transaction fee is deducted from each withdrawal amount at the time of processing.

Timp reserves the right to delay or refuse withdrawals where fraud, disputes, verification issues, or policy violations are suspected.

9. Complaints and Disputes

Seekers may submit complaints regarding a completed Timp within seven (7) days of completion.

Complaints submitted after the seven-day period may not be reviewed or acted upon.

Upon receiving a complaint:

  • The Seeker and Timper will be given an opportunity to resolve the matter.
  • A minimum dispute resolution period of forty-eight (48) hours will apply.
  • Timp may review communications, submitted work, and supporting evidence.

If Timp determines that the Timper failed to reasonably satisfy the agreed requirements, a refund may be approved.

Timp's decision regarding dispute outcomes shall be final.

10. Refunds

Approved refunds may be returned to:

  • The Seeker's Timp Wallet; or
  • The original payment method, where available.

Refund processing fees may apply.

For refunds below R10:

  • R3 fixed fee; plus
  • 2.9% of the refunded amount.

For refunds of R10 or more:

  • R3 fixed fee; plus
