Terms of Service

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

The following Terms of Service (“TOS”) govern your access or use of the applications (collectively, the “App”), websites (including https://karibusolutions.com/) (the “Website”), and the content, information and services provided through the Website or the App or other software provided by Karibu Solutions Inc. or its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Services”; Karibu and its subsidiaries, collectively, “Karibu”, “we”, or “us”). We may update these TOS from time to time without notice to you. In addition, when using Karibu’s Services, you will be subject to any guidelines or rules applicable to such Services that Karibu may post from time to time. All such guidelines or rules are deemed to be part of these TOS.

Supplemental terms may apply to certain Services, and such supplemental terms will be disclosed to you in connection with the applicable Services. Supplemental terms are in addition to, and shall be deemed a part of, these TOS for the purposes of the applicable Services. Supplemental terms shall prevail over these TOS in the event of a conflict with respect to the applicable Services.

If you are using our Services as a representative (a “Representative”) acting on behalf of a business, company, or other legal entity (in such event, for the purposes of these TOS, “you” and “your” (except as used at the beginning of this sentence) refer to that business, company, or other legal entity), then:

(a) you accept these TOS, and you will be responsible for any act or omission of any employees, contractors, or third party agents using the Services (or providing services through the Services) on your behalf;
(b) you and your Representative represent and warrant that the Representative has the authority to bind you to these TOS; and
(c) you covenant that you have the right, power, and authority to enter into these TOS, perform your obligations, and grant the rights, licences, and authorizations in these TOS.

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

Karibu provides the Services to help ensure the fairness and equity of interactions between migrant workers and their employers while also ensuring that the workers are supported with services they need. Unless Karibu states otherwise, any new features, programs and services that augment or enhance the Services will be subject to these TOS. You agree that the Services are provided “AS-IS” and that Karibu assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, misdelivery or failure to store any data, user communications or personalization settings or their quality or accuracy. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CERTAIN SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES MAY BE PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS WHO ARE NOT EMPLOYED BY KARIBU OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES.

You may not access the Services from territories where the Services or any content or functionality of the Services are prohibited.

Karibu is not responsible for any of the goods or services that you purchase or otherwise use from or through the Services that are identified as being provided by third party service providers (collectively, “Third Party Services”; and the providers of Third Party Services, “Third Party Service Providers”), including healthcare services (whether provided by Telus Health or otherwise) and remittances (whether provided by Wise or otherwise). You agree that Karibu may have a commercial relationship with Third Party Service Providers, and that Third Party Service Providers may be able to have their Third Party Services listed more prominently or be featured in exchange for compensation to Karibu. Although Karibu endeavours to use reasonable efforts to ensure that Third Party Service Providers are pre-screened/qualified, you agree that Karibu does NOT assume responsibility for any products, content, services, websites, advertisements, offers, or information that are provided by third parties and made available through the Services.

When you purchase or use Third Party Services, you are entering into a contract directly with the applicable Third Party Service Provider. Karibu is not and does not become a party to or other participant in that contractual relationship. Karibu does not act as an agent with respect to such contractual relationship, except as follows. Karibu may be a limited agent for Third Party Services Providers with the authority to offer a Third Party Service Provider’s services for sale at the price shown through the Services. Karibu may have the authority to accept or decline your request to purchase such services on behalf of a Third Party Service Provider and collect payment for your purchase on behalf of the Third Party Service Provider. Karibu may also have the authority to provide certain discounts and promotional offers in connection with Third Party Services offered through the Services. Karibu is not responsible for the quality, character or safety of any Third Party Services available through the Services; these aspects are the sole responsibility of Third Party Service Providers.

3. YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS; ACCURACY OF INFORMATION; PERMITTED USERS

If you provide any information that is untrue, materially inaccurate or incomplete, or if you do not keep it current, or if Karibu has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Karibu has the right to suspend or terminate your account and your Subscription and refuse your access to or use of the Services.

6. INDEMNITY

You agree to indemnify and hold Karibu, and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any and all losses, costs (including reasonable legal fees), obligations, liabilities, awards, judgements, fines, penalties, damages, or other charges (collectively, “Losses”) with respect to any claim, action, proceeding, demand, lawsuit, cause of action, or investigation of any nature whether at law or equity (collectively, “Claims”) by a third party arising from or related to your negligence or wilful misconduct, your violation of these TOS, or your violation of any rights of another person.

You also agree to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless for any Losses arising from or related to your violation of these TOS or your negligence or wilful misconduct. The foregoing shall apply to direct Claims.

7. PAYMENT AND BILLING; FEES

There is currently no charge for your use of the Services; however, we reserve the right to introduce, charge, or change a service fee or implement charges for features of the Services as indicated to you from time to time. Any such fees will be set out in these TOS or on the Services. You acknowledge and agree that Karibu may charge fees to third parties who access aggregate data or other information that Karibu provides to them in compliance with applicable laws.

From time to time, information on the Services may contain typos, inaccuracies, or omissions with respect to pricing, service offerings, promotional offers, and other matters. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions, to change or update information, and to refuse or cancel orders if any information on the Services contains a typo, inaccuracy, or omission at any time (including after you have submitted your order and after your credit card or other payment method have been charged).

YOU AGREE THAT WE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY THIRD PARTY BILLING AGENT WE USE) MAY CHARGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD FOR ALL AMOUNTS DUE TO US (INCLUDING APPLICABLE FEES AND TAXES) WITHOUT ADDITIONAL NOTICE OR CONSENT UNLESS REQUIRED OTHERWISE BY LAW.

We may limit the number of promotions for which you may be eligible in a given period. In addition, certain promotional offers and discounts may apply to first-time purchasers only. We have no obligation to withhold taxes in connection with any services provided by a Third Party Service Provider to you in connection with the Services.

If for any reason we do not receive payment from your credit card or other payment method issuer, then upon demand, you agree to pay the overdue amount by other means acceptable to us. We reserve the right to accept other forms of payment, and if we elect to invoice you for services, you agree to pay to us the amount indicated in each invoice by the due date reflected on the invoice. Karibu may add additional payment methods from time to time.

Your failure to pay according to the terms of these TOS shall entitle us, without prejudice to our other rights and remedies, to (i) charge interest on a daily basis from the original due date at the rate of the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum amount permissible by law and/or (ii) suspend or terminate your subscription (if applicable) and/or access to our products and services. You shall reimburse us for all reasonable costs incurred by us in collecting past due amounts, including wire transfer fees, collection agency fees, reasonable legal fees and court costs. We may charge a fee for reinstatement of suspended or terminated accounts.

If you believe that a billing discrepancy has occurred, you must notify us within 60 days after the date on which such discrepancy first appeared on your credit card or other payment method account statement or invoice, as the case may be, or such amounts will be deemed to have been accepted by you. You agree to release us from any liability for any error or discrepancy that is reported to us after such period.

If the currency in which you pay for a good or service is different than your payment method’s billing currency, then your bank or credit card company (or other third party that you use to pay for a good or service) may convert the payment amount to your billing currency associated with your payment method, based on an exchange rate and fee amount determined solely by such third party. As a result, the amount listed on your payment statement issued by such third party may be a different amount than that shown at checkout on the Services. Please contact your bank or credit card company (or the other third party that you use to pay for a good or service) if you have any questions about these fees or the applicable exchange rate.

If you are connected with a third party through the Services (other than our payment processors; and including a third party service provider) and provide payment directly to them (i.e. not through the Services), you acknowledge and agree that Karibu is not responsible for the creditworthiness of such service provider and is not liable if they fail to provide the services purchased or perform such services in an appropriate manner.

8. REFUNDS

All amounts paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Karibu or unless otherwise set out in these TOS or in a refund policy that we may create from time to time and post on the Services. If you believe you are entitled or should be entitled to a refund, please contact us to discuss.
