Terms of Service

Effective Date: December 16, 2024 | Last Updated: January 21, 2025

Important: No Financial Advice Disclaimer

Klaris is a wealth-structure record and documentation tool. It does not provide financial advice, tax advice, legal advice, or investment recommendations. The Platform is designed to help you document and visualise your existing financial structures.

You should always consult a qualified financial advisor, accountant, or legal professional before making any financial decisions. Klaris and Krrisp Pty Ltd accept no liability for any financial decisions made based on information displayed in the Platform.

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Krrisp Pty Ltd (ACN: 609 221 570), operator of Klaris ("we", "us", "our"), governing your use of the Klaris wealth-structure record and collaboration software platform ("Platform").

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Platform.

These Terms should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Data Security Policy.

2. Eligibility

To use the Platform, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age.
  • Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.
  • Provide accurate and complete registration information.
  • If registering as an advisor, hold appropriate professional qualifications and registrations as required by Australian law.

3. Service Description

Klaris is a wealth-structure record and collaboration platform that enables users to:

  • Document and visualise complex ownership structures (trusts, companies, SMSFs, partnerships).
  • Track assets and their ownership relationships.
  • Record beneficiary and trustee information.
  • Collaborate with trusted advisers around a shared family wealth record.
  • Store linked documents for structures and assets.

Important

The Platform is a documentation and visualisation tool only. It does not provide financial advice, tax advice, legal advice, or investment recommendations. It does not verify the accuracy of information you enter. You are responsible for ensuring all information is accurate and up to date.

4. Account Types

Client Accounts

Client accounts are for individuals and families who wish to document their financial structures. Client account holders:

  • Have full ownership and control of their financial structure data.
  • Can create, edit, and delete their structures and entities.
  • Can involve trusted advisers in the structure record where appropriate.
  • Can request assistance with data access or export.
  • Can revoke advisor access at any time.

Advisor Accounts

Advisor accounts are for qualified financial advisors, accountants, and professionals who wish to collaborate with clients. Advisor account holders:

  • Can access client structure information where the client or firm has authorised that collaboration.
  • Receive an appropriate level of access based on the agreed adviser relationship and onboarding model.
  • Must maintain appropriate professional qualifications.
  • Are responsible for their own professional obligations regarding client data.

Collaboration Governance

Collaboration is intended to remain controlled and purposeful. Families and firms should only involve advisers or professional contacts who have a legitimate role in reviewing or maintaining the structure record.

5. Registration and Account Security

Account Access

Account access may be reviewed, approved, or configured as part of onboarding. You must use a valid email address that you can access because we may send account, support, or security-related notices to that address.

Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and must not share access with anyone who is not authorised to view the relevant family wealth information.

Session Management

Sessions expire after a period of inactivity. You should sign out when using shared devices. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

6. Pricing and Payment

Plans

The Platform may be offered through family, adviser, firm, pilot, or other agreed access arrangements. Pricing, scope, and support expectations are confirmed privately before paid access begins. All paid prices are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and include GST where applicable.

No Processing Guarantee

Klaris is a data management and visualisation platform. You input your financial structure data and Klaris organises and displays it. We do not process your data to produce new financial insights or recommendations. As such, no satisfaction or outcome guarantee applies to the use of the Platform.

Payment Processing

Payments, where applicable, are processed through a secure third-party payment provider. We do not store or have access to your full credit card details.

Failed Payments

If a payment fails, we may attempt to process the payment again or contact you to resolve the issue. Access may be suspended or adjusted if payment remains unresolved.

Refund Policy

Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. We do not provide refunds for part-used paid periods. If you believe a charge was made in error, contact us within 14 days. Refunds may be considered at our discretion. To request a refund, contact us at info@klaris.com.au.

Price Changes

We may change our pricing from time to time. Existing paid users or firms will be given at least 30 days' notice of any material price increase. Price changes will take effect at the start of the next paid period following the notice period. If you do not agree to a price change, you may cancel your paid access before the change takes effect.

Advisory Firm Licensing

Advisory firms, family offices, or professional groups should contact us for current onboarding and licensing arrangements. We will confirm the applicable commercial model and account management process before activation.

7. User Responsibilities

If a client grants an advisor "Full Control" access, the advisor can create, edit, and delete client records on behalf of the client, including structures, assets, loans, and linked documents. The advisor accepts full responsibility for any changes made under Full Control access. Klaris is not liable for any data changes, losses, or consequences resulting from advisor actions under Full Control access.

If you are an advisor using the Platform, you additionally agree to:

  • Indemnify Krrisp Pty Ltd against any claims arising from your professional advice or actions taken in relation to client data accessed through the Platform.

Notice

Klaris does not verify advisor qualifications, professional registrations, or the quality of advice provided by advisors. The relationship between a client and their advisor is independent of Klaris. We are not a party to any advisor-client engagement and accept no liability for professional advice or services provided by advisors.

14. Termination

By You

You may cancel your paid access and close your account at any time. Upon cancellation, you will retain access until the end of the current paid period. You can export your data before account closure.

We will retain your data for 90 days to allow recovery if the termination was unintentional. After 90 days, financial structure data will be permanently deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
