By accessing and/or using the Site or the Services, you accept and agree to be legally bound by this Agreement, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, and agree to all operating rules, terms, conditions, policies, and procedures that may be published on this Site or in connection with the Services. All such rules, terms, conditions, policies, and procedures are incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. We may change, add, or remove portions of this Agreement at any time, and if we do so, we will post such changes on the Site. The changes will become immediately effective, and your continued use of the Site will indicate your acceptance of this Agreement as it is then in effect.

Description of Service

Kro is a fintech product that creates a trust value system between buyers and sellers. It allows vendors, freelancers, and sellers to create a trust value for buyers via an escrow system that enables safe transactions without the fear of being scammed. Beyond that, Kro is a business-centric platform that allows teams to collaborate on finance, sales, savings, and business management.

Limitation of Services

Kro Services are only available for lawful items and services. Only registered Merchants, Business Owners, and Freelancers who are the receiving party may use the Services. We rely on the information provided by the receiving party to register the paying party, and we keep this information for documentation purposes only. In order to register, you must supply all information required on the Site. Applicable state or federal laws and regulations may further limit the Services.

Prohibited Transactions

Users shall not utilize the Site or the Services in connection with any transaction that is illegal or involves any illegal items or purposes; involves any obscene material; involves any munitions or firearms; involves pirated software, videos, or item(s) otherwise infringing copyrighted works; involves illegal drugs or controlled substances; involves real property or any interest in real property, the sale or transfer of liquor licenses, the sale of a business (bulk sale), the transfer of title to a business entity, fund or joint control escrows, mobile homes or manufactured homes or the refinancing of either, reservation deposits of any kind, or promissory notes, mortgages, or deeds of trust. In addition, Kro, in its sole discretion, may refuse to complete any transaction that Kro has reason to believe is unauthorized or made by someone other than you, may violate any law, rule, or regulation, or if Kro has reasonable cause not to honor it. Each User agrees to indemnify and hold Kro harmless for losses resulting from any use or attempted use of the Services in violation of this Agreement.

Transactions

A merchant, business owner, or freelancer generates an invoice and sends the link to the payer of that product or service. The payee follows the link, confirms their details, and proceeds to pay the invoice. Once the invoice has been paid, the payment reflects digitally in the Business Owner’s pending account where it’s locked. They can’t withdraw the money. After the goods or services have been delivered, the payer uses the same link to confirm receipt of products or services. Kro will then release the money immediately to the Business Owner’s main account where they can now withdraw it. Where possible, business owners must ensure the payer confirms receipt on delivery. See Request Refund Policy.

Disputes

Whenever a dispute occurs, Kro gives both transacting parties an opportunity for mutual resolution. If they cannot mutually resolve the dispute within 7 working days, Kro may step in and attempt to help both parties resolve the dispute. Depending on the volume of the transaction and the technicality of the product or service involved, Kro may refer parties to a Kro-constituted Mediation/Arbitration panel involving professionals licensed to act in that capacity, and the outcome of such mediation or arbitration will bind both parties.

Transaction Fees

Parties agree to pay the transaction fees by using Kro services, including, without limitation, third-party service fees (e.g., shipping, appraisal, inspection, etc.) where and if applicable. Once paid, Kro fees are nonrefundable. Kro fees may change from time to time in Kro’s absolute and sole discretion. Kro is not responsible for payment of any sales, use, personal property, or other governmental tax or levy imposed on any items purchased or sold through the Services or otherwise arising from the transaction.
