The character is fictional; the disclosures are real. Here is where optional contributions go and what visitors should know before supporting the cup.
Payment link: This website links to a separate Ko-fi creator page. A contribution, if made, is processed there through the creator’s connected payment provider. This website does not process card payments.
01 / A COMEDY CHARACTER, NOT AN EMERGENCY
The Internet Beggar is an invented, satirical online persona and a fictional comedy project. The character, names, artwork, and “corporate” jokes do not mean the creator is homeless or experiencing a real financial emergency. We are not a charity, nonprofit, homelessness service, or fundraising campaign for anyone in need.
No charitable beneficiary, emergency relief program, or homelessness organization receives contributions through this project.
02 / OPTIONAL PERSONAL TIPS
You may optionally support the creator personally through the linked Ko-fi page. Contributions are not charitable donations and are not tax-deductible charitable gifts. You receive no product, service, membership, ownership interest, investment return, or promised recognition in exchange. Viewing the website and enjoying the jokes are free.
Ko-fi and the creator’s connected PayPal or Stripe provider handle checkout. The final amount and payment details must be chosen and confirmed on Ko-fi, under their applicable terms. This website does not collect or store your card or bank details.
Amounts selected in the website’s mock tip cup are suggestions only: they are not transmitted to Ko-fi and do not prefill your payment.
03 / PAYMENT QUESTIONS, REFUNDS & DISPUTES
If you made a contribution and have a question, made a mistake, or want to request a refund, contact the creator via Ko-fi’s Send a Message feature (available to supporters after a payment) and include the transaction date and amount, but do not publicly post sensitive payment information.
Ko-fi payments go to the creator through their connected provider; the creator is responsible for handling refund requests, subject to applicable law and provider policies. You may also be able to contact PayPal or your card issuer about a dispute. Nothing here limits non-waivable consumer rights.
Ko-fi’s help guidance on requesting refunds may help if you have already paid.
04 / PRIVACY & THIRD PARTIES
We do not operate accounts or collect forms or card information on this site, and have not configured our own analytics or advertising trackers. The website host may process technical connection data to provide the service and maintain security. Clicking the outbound Ko-fi link takes you to a separate service with its own terms and privacy policy. See our Privacy & Transparency page for more details.
Supporter names or messages will never be publicly displayed in a Hall of Legends without permission.
05 / CREATIVE MATERIALS
The beggar character and related visual scenes are fictional and may include AI-generated illustrative artwork. The website's jokes, satirical company statements, mock board meetings, and fictional excuses are entertainment—not claims about actual business operations, donations, or hardship.
Actual contributor counts, revenue totals, and testimonials will not be displayed unless they can be verified. We do not run paid raffles or promise prizes for contributions.
06 / CONTACT & PAGE UPDATES
For questions about a contribution or refund requests, supporters can use the creator’s Ko-fi profile and its Send a Message feature after contributing. An additional public contact email for general website and privacy inquiries is still being arranged.
These disclosures are not immunity from applicable laws or payment-platform requirements. The payment provider may require verification, and a local legal review is advisable before substantial public promotion.
Last revised: November 2026. We may update these terms as the website or providers change.
