By accessing or using the Platform, you are entering into this Agreement with Karol Xtudios, trading as Kiara. You should read this Agreement carefully before starting to use the Platform. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you must not access the Platform.
When the terms "we", "us", "our" or similar are used in this Agreement, they refer to Karol Xtudios, trading as Kiara.
1. Services and Professionals
The Platform may be used to connect you with an independent professional (the “Provider”) who may be a licensed therapist, counsellor, psychologist, social worker, coach, or other recognised professional, depending on their qualifications and jurisdiction (“Professional Services”).
We require all Providers offering Professional Services through the Platform to be appropriately trained, credentialed, and experienced in their field. The specific qualifications and standards may differ depending on country and professional regulations.
The Providers are independent contractors and are not employees, agents, or representatives of Karol Xtudios or Kiara. The Platform’s role is limited to facilitating access to Providers. Karol Xtudios does not itself provide therapy, counselling, or healthcare services, and is not a healthcare provider.
If you feel that the Professional Services provided do not meet your needs, you may request to be matched with a different Provider through the Platform. Please note that availability may vary depending on licensure requirements, location, and scheduling.
While we hope that Professional Services will be beneficial to you, you understand and agree that:
-
They may not be the appropriate solution for all needs or situations.
-
They are not a substitute for in-person therapy, medical treatment, or crisis support.
-
The Platform is not suitable for emergency use, including suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or harm to others. If you are in crisis, you must immediately call your local emergency number or use appropriate crisis services in your area.
The Platform is not intended for:
-
Official diagnoses requiring in-person evaluations.
-
Court-ordered therapy or legal documentation.
-
Medical prescriptions or treatment decisions.
You must not disregard or delay seeking in-person care from a doctor or other qualified professional because of information or advice received through the Platform.
2. Privacy and Security
Protecting your personal information is very important to us. Any information you provide through the Platform is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, store, and safeguard your data.
By using the Platform, you also agree to the terms of our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into and forms part of this Agreement.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, but you understand and acknowledge that no online platform can be guaranteed to be completely secure. By using the Platform, you accept this risk.

4. Subscriptions, Payments, and Billing
Subscriptions may be offered on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, or other recurring basis, depending on the options made available at the time of purchase. Your subscription will continue and automatically renew on the billing schedule you select, unless cancelled in accordance with these Terms.
By choosing a recurring subscription, you acknowledge that the service involves recurring payments and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges until cancellation. Payments are processed on behalf of Kiara by Karol Xtudios. Therefore, you may see Karol Xtudios listed on your invoices, receipts, or bank statements.
-

-
If payment cannot be processed, access to the services may be suspended until the issue is resolved.
