There is a terms of service, but it was not required to read through
in order to sign up.  It's basically a matter of linking an account,
and then the account is created.

Here is the ToS though: https://www.gittip.com/about/terms/

Yeah, I guess I did jump the gun a bit, so we should certainly discuss
things.  If we decide not to go through with it, I can just terminate
the account, which I think is accomplished by unlinking all of your
accounts you are linked to.  I'm not quite sure yet without actually
trying it, however.
