Kibage's Legal Hub
Terms of Service
When you use Kibage, these are the Terms of Service.
Terms of Service
These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and Kibage, Inc., its parents, subsidiaries, representatives, affiliates, officers and directors (collectively, “Kibage,” “we,” “us” or “our”) governing your use of the Kibage application, website, technology platform and services (collectively, the “Kibage Platform and Services”).
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING OR USING THE KIBAGE PLATFORM AND SERVICES. PLEASE BE ADVISED: THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS PROVISIONS THAT GOVERN HOW CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND KIBAGE CAN BE BROUGHT (SEE ARBITRATION SECTION BELOW). THESE PROVISIONS WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU TO SUBMIT CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST KIBAGE TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, GROUP OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
By entering into this Agreement, and/or by using or accessing the Kibage Platform and Services you, on behalf of yourself and your Family Members (as defined below), expressly acknowledge that you understand this Agreement and accept all of its terms. (References to “you” in this Agreement refer to both you, individually, and such Family Members.) IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE KIBAGE PLATFORM AND SERVICES.
The Kibage Platform and Services
The Kibage Platform and Services provide a platform where persons who seek care for, or assistance with, certain tasks (“Care Recipients”) can be matched with care options for such tasks. Options for Care Recipients include: (a) family members, friends and other individuals with pre-existing relationships with a Care Recipient (a “Related Provider”); and (b) third party providers of such services, including independent third-party caregivers under agreement with Kibage (“Independent Providers”, and together with Related Providers, “Providers”). Providers and Care Recipients are collectively referred to herein as “Users,” and the care services provided by Providers to Care Recipients shall be referred to herein as “Care Services.” As a Care Recipient, you authorize Kibage to match you with an Independent Provider based on factors such as your location, the type of task, the estimated time to your location, your destination (if applicable), user preferences, and platform efficiency, and to cancel an existing match and rematch based on the same considerations. Any decision by a User to offer or accept Care Services is a decision made in such User’s sole discretion. Each Care Service provided by a Provider to a Care Recipient shall constitute a separate agreement between such persons.
Modification to the Agreement
Supplemental terms may apply to certain portions of the Kibage Platform and Services, such as policies for a particular service, and such supplemental terms will be disclosed to you in connection with the applicable service(s). Supplemental terms are in addition to, and shall be deemed a part of, this Agreement for the purposes of the applicable service(s). In particular, if you are an Independent Provider, you will be required to agree certain additional terms regarding provision of care to a Care Recipient. Supplemental terms shall prevail over this Agreement in the event of a conflict with respect to the applicable service(s). Kibage reserves the right to modify any information on pages referenced in the hyperlinks from this Agreement from time to time and such modifications shall become effective upon posting.
Kibage may amend this Agreement from time to time. Amendments will be effective upon Kibage’s posting of such updated Agreement. Your continued access to or use of the Kibage Platform and Services after such posting constitutes your consent to be bound by this Agreement as amended.
Unless material changes are made to the arbitration provisions herein, you agree that modification of this Agreement does not create an opportunity to opt out of arbitration.
Eligibility
The Kibage Platform and Services may only be used by individuals who have the right and authority to enter into this Agreement and are fully able and competent to satisfy the terms, conditions, and obligations herein. In order to use most aspects of the Kibage Platform and Services, you must register for and maintain an active personal user account (an “Account”). You may not allow other persons to use your Account, and you agree that you are the sole authorized user of your Account. Each person may only create one Account, and Kibage reserves the right to deactivate any additional or duplicate accounts. By becoming a User, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. The Kibage Platform and Services is not available to Users who have had their User account temporarily or permanently deactivated for any reason.
Account registration requires you to submit to Kibage certain personal information, such as your name, address, mobile phone number and age, as well as, in the case of a Care Recipient, at least one valid payment method (either a credit card or accepted payment partner). You agree to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date information in your Account. Your failure to maintain accurate, complete, and up-to-date Account information, including having an invalid or expired payment method on file, may result in your inability to access and use the Kibage Platform and Services and/or termination of this Agreement with you. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account, and you agree to maintain the security and secrecy of your Account username and password at all times.
If you register for and maintain an Account for the purposes of arranging and scheduling Care Services on behalf of a Family Member (as defined below) receiving any portion of the Kibage Platform and Services, you represent and warrant that you have the power and authority to arrange such services for and on behalf of such Family Member, including, as necessary a power of attorney. "Family Member" means spouse, child, spouse's child, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, brother, sister, mother, father, grandparents, grandchild, step-brother, step-sister, step-parents, parents-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, guardian, or ward.
While you must be at least 18 years of age to obtain an Account, the care provided through the Kibage Platform and Service are available for use by persons under the age of 18. You may not authorize third parties to use your Account, and you must have the power and authority to allow persons under the age of 18 to receive Care Services from Providers. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your Account to any other person or entity. In certain instances, you may be asked to provide proof of identity to access or use the Kibage Platform and Services, and you agree that you may be denied access to or use of the Kibage Platform and Services if you refuse to provide proof of identity.
Charges
As a Care Recipient, you understand that request or use of Care Services may result in charges to you (“Charges”). You are responsible for reviewing the price quote within Charges. Charges for Care Services include task price and other applicable fees, tolls, surcharges, and taxes, plus any tips to the Provider that you elect to pay. Kibage has the authority and reserves the right to determine and modify pricing by quoting you a price for a specific task at the time you make a request. Pricing may vary based on the type of service you request. You are responsible for reviewing the price quote within the Kibage app and you shall be responsible for all Charges incurred under your User account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. In particular, you acknowledge and agree that Charges applicable in certain geographical areas may increase substantially during times of high demand.
Kibage will facilitate your payment of applicable Charges owed to an Independent Provider on behalf of such Independent Provider, as such Independent Provider's limited payment collection agent. Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Independent Provider. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. You retain the right to request lower Charges from an Independent Provider for services or goods received by you from such Independent Provider at the time you receive such services or goods. Kibage will respond accordingly to any request from an Independent Provider to modify the Charges for a particular service or good.
After you have received services or goods obtained through the Kibage Platform and Services, you will have the opportunity to rate your experience and leave additional feedback about your Independent Provider.
You acknowledge and agree that Kibage is not responsible for cancellations, no-shows, or early or late arrivals by Providers. In the event of a cancellation or no-show by a Provider, your sole remedy, at your election, is to arrange and schedule Care Services with an alternative Provider and/or provide feedback regarding such cancellation or no-show. In the event of a late arrival by a Provider, your sole remedy, at your election, is an adjustment in the Charges and/or provide feedback regarding such late arrival.
Kibage will not collect any fees in connection with the performance of any Care Services by a Related Provider.
​
General
• Facilitation of Charges. All Charges are due immediately and payment will be automatically facilitated by Kibage through a third-party payment processor (e.g., Stripe, Inc.) using the preferred payment method designated in your Account. Kibage may replace its third-party payment processor without notice to you. Charges shall only be made through the Kibage Platform and Services. With the exception of tips, cash payments are strictly prohibited. Your payment of Charges to Kibage satisfies your payment obligation for your use of the Kibage Platform and Services and Care Services. Kibage may group multiple charges into a single aggregate transaction on your payment method based on the date(s) they were incurred. If you don’t recognize a transaction, then check your receipts and payment history.
• No Refunds. All Charges are non-refundable. This no-refund policy shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate usage of the Kibage Platform and Services, any disruption to the Kibage Platform and Services or Care Services, or any other reason whatsoever.
• Coupons. You may receive coupons that you can apply toward payment of certain Charges upon completion of a task. Coupons are only valid for use on the Kibage Platform and Services and are not transferable or redeemable for cash except as required by law. Coupons cannot be combined, and if the cost of your task exceeds the applicable credit or discount value, we will charge your payment method on file for the outstanding cost of the Care Service. For quoted or variable fares, Kibage may deduct the amount attributable to the Charges before application of the coupon. Additional restrictions on coupons may apply as communicated to you in a relevant promotion or by clicking on the relevant coupon within the “Promotions” section of the Kibage App. In addition, Kibage may from time to time provide certain Users with promotional offers, coupons and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained through the use of the Kibage Platform and Services, and you agree that such promotional offers, coupons and discounts, unless also made available and used by you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Kibage Platform and Services or the Charges applied to you.
• Credit Card Authorization. Upon addition of a new payment method or each Care Service request, Kibage may seek authorization of your selected payment method to verify the payment method, ensure the task cost will be covered, and protect against unauthorized behavior. The authorization is not a charge, however, it may reduce your available credit by the authorization amount until your bank’s next processing cycle. Should the amount of our authorization exceed the total funds on deposit in your account, you may be subject to overdraft of NSF charges by the bank issuing your debit or prepaid card. We cannot be held responsible for these charges and are unable to assist you in recovering them from your issuing bank.
Communications
By entering into this Agreement or using the Kibage Platform and Services, you agree to receive communications from us, including via e-mail, text message, calls, and push notifications. You agree that texts, calls or prerecorded messages may be generated by automatic telephone dialing systems. Communications from Kibage, its affiliated companies and/or Providers, may include but are not limited to: operational communications concerning your User account or use of the Kibage Platform and Services or Care Services, updates concerning new and existing features on the Kibage Platform and Services, communications concerning promotions run by us or our third-party partners, and news concerning Kibage and industry developments. Standard text messaging charges applied by your cell phone carrier will apply to text messages we send.
IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF PROMOTIONAL EMAILS, YOU CAN UNSUBSCRIBE FROM OUR PROMOTIONAL EMAIL LIST BY FOLLOWING THE UNSUBSCRIBE OPTIONS IN THE PROMOTIONAL EMAIL ITSELF. IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF PROMOTIONAL CALLS OR TEXTS, YOU MAY TEXT “END” FROM THE MOBILE DEVICE RECEIVING THE MESSAGES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO CONSENT TO RECEIVE PROMOTIONAL TEXTS OR CALLS AS A CONDITION OF USING THE KIBAGE PLATFORM AND SERVICES OR RELATED SERVICES. IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF ALL TEXTS OR CALLS FROM KIBAGE (INCLUDING OPERATIONAL OR TRANSACTIONAL TEXTS OR CALLS), YOU CAN TEXT THE WORD “STOPALL” FROM THE MOBILE DEVICE RECEIVING THE MESSAGES, HOWEVER YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OPTING OUT OF RECEIVING ALL TEXTS MAY IMPACT YOUR USE OF THE KIBAGE PLATFORM AND SERVICES OR RELATED SERVICES (INCLUDING CARE SERVICES).

Arbitration
In the event the parties are not able to resolve any dispute between them arising out of or concerning this Agreement, or any provision hereof, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise at law or in equity for damages or any other relief, then such dispute shall be resolved only by final and binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, conducted by a single neutral arbitrator and administered by the American Arbitration Association, or a similar arbitration service selected by the parties, in the State of Michigan , except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
