The rules everyone follows
Last updated: April 21, 2026 · Applies to every user of Campaid
Why this exists
Campaid is built on trust between students. These rules keep the platform safe, fair, and genuinely useful. You agree to them at signup, before your first post, and before your first accepted application — three separate checkpoints, because these are the moments where real money and real meetings start happening. Breaking them can get your account warned, suspended, or permanently banned — and in serious cases, reported to law enforcement.
Be who you say you are
Real name, real photo, real .edu email. One account per person. Don't create fake or duplicate accounts, don't use someone else's identity, and don't share your login. Lending your .edu access to a non-student is a permanent-ban offense.
Describe things honestly
Tasks, listings, and profiles must match reality. Don't exaggerate, don't misrepresent condition, don't hide defects, and don't use stock or stolen photos for items you're selling. Every listing photo should be one you actually took.
Keep transactions on Campaid
All payments, messages, and dispute resolution happen inside the platform. Pushing people to Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, or off-platform handoffs is an automatic red flag — we detect it and we act on it. If it's not on Campaid, we can't protect either side, and we can't get your money back if something goes wrong.
Deliver what you promised
Taskers: show up on time, finish the work described, and mark the task complete honestly. Sellers: ship or hand over the item within the window you agreed to. Hirers and buyers: confirm delivery promptly when you receive what you paid for. Ghosting after accepting is a strike.
Pay on time, every time
Accepting an applicant, a ticket, or a marketplace item creates a binding commitment to pay. Card declines, chargebacks, and walk-aways without cause can result in account suspension and collection. If something went wrong, open a dispute — don't do a chargeback behind our back.
Don't list or ask for anything illegal or dangerous
No weapons, drugs, alcohol to minors, stolen property, counterfeit items, academic dishonesty work (writing someone's paper, taking their exam), age-restricted services, or anything that violates federal, state, or campus rules. The full prohibited list lives in the Terms of Service.
No academic dishonesty — ever
Writing someone's paper, sitting their exam, completing their graded homework, or any work the receiving student will submit as their own is banned. Tutoring, proofreading, and teaching concepts is fine. If it crosses into 'do this assignment for me,' it's out.
Treat people with respect
No harassment, hate speech, slurs, threats, sexual content, stalking, or discrimination based on race, religion, gender, orientation, disability, or campus. Disagreements happen — handle them through the dispute system, not retaliation.
Meet in safe, public places
Any handoff — delivery, task performance, ticket exchange, item pickup — must happen in a safe, public, well-lit location whenever possible. Campaid is not your chaperone and is not responsible for anything that happens in a private meeting. Use campus common areas, coffee shops, or building lobbies. If someone pressures you into an isolated meeting, refuse and report them.
Leave honest reviews
Rate based on real experience. Don't buy reviews, trade reviews, leave fake reviews to sabotage a competitor, or review transactions you weren't actually part of. Dishonest reviews are removed and the accounts involved get struck.
No fake gigs, fake applicants, or collusion
Don't create sham transactions to inflate ratings, move money between your own accounts, cycle refunds, or manipulate search ranking. Anything that looks like a laundering pattern or a ratings boost is investigated and usually ends with a permanent ban for every account involved.
Tickets: only list what you actually have
No speculative listings for tickets you don't physically possess and don't have an immediate legal right to transfer. No counterfeit tickets. No massively-above-face-value scalping on official sale inventory. Resale is for real tickets moving between real students.
Marketplace: disclose every defect
If it's cracked, stained, missing a cord, or previously repaired, say so in the listing. 'As-is' is not a shield against misrepresentation — the buyer has to know what they're getting before they pay.
Chargebacks are not a refund button
If something went wrong, file a dispute inside Campaid first — that's what the dispute system is for, and we usually resolve it within one to three business days. Initiating a chargeback with your bank after the task was completed, the ticket was delivered, or the item was received as described is treated as fraud.
You are a user, not a Campaid employee
Taskers, hirers, sellers, and buyers are independent users. Nobody is Campaid staff unless their profile has a verified admin badge. Don't represent yourself as an employee of Ugig LLC or Campaid — that includes to other users, to campus officials, and to Stripe.
Tax honesty
Providing a false Taxpayer Identification Number to Campaid or Stripe, or trying to route earnings through someone else's account to duck a 1099, is fraud. If you earn enough to trigger a 1099-K, we will file one — accept it.
Protect yourself and your data
Don't share payment info, screenshots of private messages, or other users' personal details. Don't ask others to share theirs outside the platform. Report phishing attempts or suspicious behavior to support@campaid.net.
Report trouble fast
If you see scams, harassment, or anything unsafe, tell us. Email support@campaid.net or use the Report button on the listing. We review every report within one business day. Reporting in good faith never counts against you.
What happens when rules are broken
Most first-time issues get a written warning and guidance on how to fix it. Repeat violations or serious single incidents (fraud, threats, illegal activity) result in an immediate and permanent ban. Banned accounts are archived for seven years for legal and tax purposes, and in criminal matters we cooperate fully with law enforcement.
These guidelines sit on top of the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Cookie Policy. Where anything conflicts, the Terms of Service control.
