Terms of use

Effective October 5, 2026. By using Lopesies you agree to these Terms and the Community Guidelines.

Eligibility

You must be 18 or older. Campus mailbox verification is required to post or accept new work and must be renewed periodically. One account can both post and complete jobs. Lopesies is independently operated and not affiliated with GCU. Verification is not a background check or a guarantee of enrollment or safety.

Agreements and changes

Give accurate requirements, compensation, timing and a public meeting area. For new listings, a worker directly claims the job by accepting its displayed terms; no application or poster approval is needed. A temporary reservation prevents other workers from claiming while payment is confirmed. Successful funding saves the original agreement. Older accepted jobs retain their existing terms. After funding, request moderator review to cancel and refund before making a replacement agreement. Do not begin work until payment is confirmed in the app.

Payments

When activated, Stripe handles job payments and worker onboarding. Public listing prices show worker pay only. Before publishing or changing a listing, the poster approves worker pay plus a 10% service fee, with a $1 minimum, rounded to the nearest cent. Publishing is free. The poster authorizes saving a payment method with Stripe and charging that approved total when a worker claims the job. The worker receives the full listed pay; Lopesies pays payment-processing costs from its service fee. Failed payments or required bank authentication prevent work from starting. A reservation normally expires after 15 minutes; uncertain payment outcomes stay reserved until reconciled, to prevent duplicate charges. Unfunded expired reservations release the worker and pause the listing until the poster repairs payment and reopens it. No job payment is collected for an unclaimed listing. A transfer to a connected Stripe account and a bank payout are separate events. Lopesies does not provide escrow, insure jobs, or guarantee payment recovery. If payment services are not activated, do not begin paid work through Lopesies. Never pay an upfront fee to obtain a job.

Completion and review

The worker starts a funded job, retains appropriate photos or other proof, and submits a completion note. Avoid collecting unnecessary private information. When the poster confirms completion on a new-workflow job, Lopesies automatically initiates the worker transfer after payment and dispute checks. Failed or uncertain transfers remain pending for safe retry or review. Older agreements may still require moderator release. A completion request without a response enters moderator review after the displayed review window; silence does not automatically release money. Either participant may open a dispute. A dispute pauses future release; an already initiated transfer or payout may require recovery review.

Cancellation and refunds

Before a worker reserves a job, the poster may cancel without charge. Pending payment reservations must be resolved before cancellation. The original campus-v1 policy remains attached to older accepted agreements. After acceptance, either participant may request cancellation, record a no-show or propose mutual cancellation through review. Moderators consider the saved agreement, progress and both participants’ evidence. No automatic no-show penalty is charged. Approved full refunds include the platform fee. A refund after transfer requires recovery of the transfer first and may be delayed or require further review. Moderation decisions and financial actions are recorded.

Safety and accounts

Only lawful, low-risk tasks are allowed. Follow campus rules, meet publicly and do not share credentials. Report prohibited content and block unwanted contact; blocking does not erase or cancel agreements. Moderators may remove listings or suspend accounts. Contact Support to appeal. Delete your account in Profile as described in the Privacy Policy. Necessary transaction and dispute records may remain. These Terms do not waive rights that cannot lawfully be waived. For immediate danger, call 911.
