Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Kirasu waitlist website (the “Site”), operated under the trade name Kirasu (“Kirasu”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).
By using the Site or joining the waitlist, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
Contact: kirasu.india@gmail.com
1. What the Site is
The Site is a marketing and waitlist page for Kirasu, a product that aims to help people decide where to go based on taste and context. On the Site you can:
- Read about the product,
- Join a waitlist with your email,
- Share a referral link that attributes later signups to your waitlist position.
The Site does not yet provide the full Kirasu mobile app, accounts, place saves, or live recommendations. App terms will be published when the app is offered.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old to use the Site and join the waitlist. By joining, you represent that you meet this age requirement and that you can form a binding agreement under applicable law.
3. Waitlist
- Joining the waitlist does not guarantee an invite, a launch date, free access, or any particular feature set.
- Invites may go out in waves, by city, or by other criteria we choose at our discretion.
- You agree to provide a valid email address you control, and not to join with someone else’s address without permission.
- We may remove duplicate, automated, fraudulent, or abusive entries.
- Marketing copy about free access for early waitlist members (for example, first-year access language on the Site) describes our current intent and is not an irrevocable coupon or contract for paid features that do not yet exist. We will honour stated early-access benefits in good faith when the product launches, subject to reasonable adjustments disclosed at invite time.
4. Referrals
If you share a referral link:
- You must not spam, buy signups, use bots, or misrepresent Kirasu.
- Referral counts are informational; they do not create a prize, payment, equity, or employment relationship unless we separately publish a formal program with its own rules.
- We may invalidate referrals we reasonably believe are abusive.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Probe, scan, or attack the Site or our APIs,
- Circumvent rate limits or security measures,
- Scrape the Site in a way that harms service quality or violates law,
- Use the Site for unlawful, harassing, or deceptive purposes,
- Impersonate Kirasu or another person.
We may suspend access, drop waitlist entries, or take other action we reasonably consider necessary to protect the Site and other users.
6. Intellectual property
The Site’s design, text, logos, graphics, and brand elements are owned by Kirasu or its licensors. You may not copy, modify, or redistribute them for commercial use without our prior written permission, except for ordinary browser caching and personal, non-commercial viewing.
“kirasu” and related marks are used as product branding. Nothing in these Terms grants you a trademark licence.
7. Third-party services and links
The Site may link to third-party sites (for example Instagram). We are not responsible for their content, policies, or availability. Your use of third-party services is between you and them.
8. Privacy
How we handle waitlist and Site data is described in the Privacy Policy. By joining the waitlist, you ask us to store your email and related metadata for launch and product communications as described there.
9. Disclaimers
THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT WAITLIST POSITIONS OR COUNTS WILL ALWAYS BE EXACT IN REAL TIME.
Product descriptions on the Site are aspirational summaries of planned features. They may change before or after launch.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, KIRASU AND ITS OPERATORS, CONTRIBUTORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR WAITLIST.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE THOUSAND INDIAN RUPEES (₹1,000) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SITE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM (WHICH IS CURRENTLY ZERO), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted.
11. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Kirasu and its operators from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Site, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right — to the extent permitted by applicable law.
12. Changes to the Site or Terms
We may modify the Site or these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Site after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Site and request waitlist removal.
13. Termination
You may stop using the Site at any time and may request removal from the waitlist by emailing us. We may stop offering the Site or waitlist, or restrict access, at any time without liability, including for maintenance, abuse, or product direction changes.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts in India shall have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or the Site, subject to any mandatory consumer protections that apply to you.
Before filing a formal claim, please contact kirasu.india@gmail.com so we can try to resolve the issue informally.
15. Miscellaneous
- If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
- Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
- You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganisation or sale of assets.
- These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site.
