Terms of Service
The terms on which tour operators use the Kapuli platform, and on which guides and guests use the Kapuli mobile app.
1. Agreement
- These terms are between you and Kapuli, Inc. Using the platform or the mobile app means accepting them.
- Kapuli is currently in closed beta. Access to the platform is granted after a conversation, not by self-service sign-up.
- The mobile app is free to download and use on iOS and Android, and is included in full with every plan.
2. Plans, pricing and departures
- Plans are billed monthly. Solo is $29 per month, Boutique is $299 per month, and Enterprise starts at $2,999 per month.
- Plans are bounded by active departures: up to 12 on Solo, 13 to 49 on Boutique, and 50 or more on Enterprise. An active departure is a dated departure that is open for booking or currently running.
- Users are not charged per seat. Solo includes one user, Boutique five, and Enterprise unlimited.
- You may move up a plan at any time. Changes take effect from the next billing period.
3. Payments and fees
- On Boutique and Enterprise you connect your own payment processor. Kapuli takes no commission on your bookings and never holds your travellers' funds.
- On Solo, payments are processed by Kapuli and carry a 2% booking fee.
- You are responsible for the accuracy of the prices, deposits, taxes and cancellation terms you configure, and for honouring them with your travellers.
4. Your content and your brand
- You retain ownership of your website content, your trip material, your traveller records and your bookings.
- You grant Kapuli the licence needed to host and display that content in order to run your booking site and platform.
- The booking experience runs under your own domain and brand. Kapuli branding does not appear to your customers.
5. Migration and maintenance
- On Boutique and Enterprise, we migrate your existing website within four weeks of signature, preserving your content, your URLs and your search ranking.
- Ongoing maintenance is provided by a dedicated forward deployed engineer: 20 hours per month on Boutique, 160 on Enterprise. Unused hours do not roll over.
- Migration and dedicated maintenance are not included on Solo.
6. Acceptable use
- Do not use Kapuli to break the law, to infringe someone else's rights, or to publish content you have no right to publish.
- Do not attempt to access another operator's data, disrupt the service, or reverse-engineer the platform.
- Journal content posted in the mobile app must respect the privacy of the other people on the trip.
7. Mobile app and KapSight
- KapSight species identification is provided as an aid, not as an authority. Identifications are probabilistic and should be treated as such.
- Naming individual animals is currently live at Panna Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh, India, and is available by invitation while further reserves are added.
- Location data attached to sightings of protected species may be withheld or coarsened where publishing it would put an animal at risk.
8. Availability and support
- We aim to keep the platform available continuously and will give notice of planned maintenance.
- Support is by email at support@kapuli.ai, answered within one business day, alongside the engineering hours included in your plan.
- Beta means some features arrive early and change. We will not remove something you depend on without telling you first.
9. Termination
- You may cancel at the end of any billing period. We will provide a complete export of your data.
- We may suspend an account for non-payment or for a serious breach of these terms, after notice and a chance to put it right.
- Bookings already taken must still be honoured by you after termination.
10. Liability and governing law
- Kapuli is provided without warranties beyond those that cannot be excluded by law.
- Our aggregate liability is limited to the fees you paid in the twelve months before the claim.
- These terms are governed by the laws of the state in which Kapuli, Inc. is incorporated, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections in your own jurisdiction.
