Sometimes we reject orders, for example, because we have no remaining available slots that month, because we cannot visit your location to deliver our services or because the product was mispriced by us.

As long as we do this, we won't compensate you for the delay, but if the delay is likely to be substantial you can contact us here: Contact Us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for in advance, but not received, less reasonable costs we have already incurred.
We charge you additional sums if you don't give us information we've asked for about how we can access your property to provide the product or if you don't do preparatory work to prepare for the product, as agreed with us. For example, we might need to return with additional equipment, or reschedule your recording appointment.

To benefit from our products fully, you might need to update your will. Kinterak works by providing your loved ones with access to your filmed interactions and other content after your passing. We provide each of your loved ones with a Letter of Wishes, which contains a unique QR code. To ensure that your Letters of Wishes are received by your loved ones, you may need to create or update your will and we have partnered with an organisation which can help you do this as part of our products.
We store your interactions for six months after your passing. As part of most of our products, we will store your interactions and other content on our servers for six months after one of your loved ones first scans their QR code contained within your Letter of Wishes. During this time, your loved ones can download your interactions and content onto their devices. If your loved ones wish to maintain backup storage of your content on our servers, they can purchase a Kinterak Cloud subscription through our app or website to store your interactions for as long as the subscription is maintained.
By using our services, you agree to these terms. By registering for a user account on Kinterak and/or purchasing any products, you agree to be bound by these terms.
We retain ownership of the content you provide to us By using our services, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to view the content. As the owners of the content, we reserve the right to store, edit, transmit, and display it as needed to provide our products and services.
We can transfer our contract with you, so that a different organisation is responsible for supplying your product. We'll contact you to let you know if we plan to do this. If you're unhappy with the transfer you can contact us at our Customer Service Page to end the contract within 90 days of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you've made in advance for products not provided.
You cannot transfer our contract with you to someone else. Due to the personalised nature of the product, you cannot transfer our contract with you to someone else.
Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. Nobody else can enforce it and neither of us will need to ask anybody else to sign-off on ending or changing it.

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. We might not immediately chase you for not doing something (like paying) or for doing something you're not allowed to, but that doesn’t mean we can't do it later.
