Terms and Conditions

Terms & conditions for using Kintro


These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") and the documents referred to in them apply to your use of mobile applications called Kintro available for iOS and Android devices, and/or desktop applications called Kintro available for MacOS and Windows devices, and/or the website located at the address https://kintro.co/ (each known as the "Platform").


If you do not agree to these terms you should not access or view the Platform.


This Platform is operated by Kintro Limited, (UK company number 14072039) whose registered office is at 20-22 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU, United Kingdom ("we" "our" "Kintro").

1. Other applicable Terms

These Terms of use also incorporate our Privacy Policy, which sets out the terms on which we process any personal data we collect about you or that you provide to us. By using this Platform, you agree to such processing of your data and you warrant that all data provided by you is accurate.

2. Who we are

Kintro is a community-building platform aiming to make communities more useful, more rewarding and more engaging. We believe that community is a proxy for trust, and that we all like to engage in economic activity with people that we trust. We are therefore building a platform that enables people to ask their community for help, receive that help, and engage in economic transactions with those people.


You can read more about our philosophy on community-building, trust and the future of services on our blog.

3. Services

Our Platform is an online facility through which individuals can buy and sell meaningful knowledge sharing conversations called the “talk options”. Talk options enable our users to communicate with one another online or offline on a variety of different topics (the "Services"). From time to time Kintro may also make available to the users certain additional-services subject to additional charges. You undertake to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with your use of the Services.

4. Becoming a seller on the Platform

To become a seller (or as we call it – an “Open Human”) on the Platform, you will have to sign-up, verify your e-mail address, upload your profile picture, provide a short description about yourself, indicate your country of residence and apply to become an Open Human.


In your application to become an Open Human, you will have to indicate at least one topic that you wish to talk about along with at least one free or paid talk option.


Your topic and talk option listing will be activated and placed on the Platform as soon as we review and approve your listing. Until we approve your listing, it will be marked as “pending for approval” and will not be visible to other users on the Platform. We reserve the right to reject your listing if it violates our Terms and more specifically, our rules for listing talk options and prohibited talk options.


The indicative list of reasons we may reject your listing are listed below (the list is not exhaustive and is to be considered only as a guide):


your profile picture is inappropriate (for more details please see FAQ for Profile Photo Guidelines and Requirements);

your topic and topic description violate these Terms;

your talk option violates these Terms.

If we reject your listing, we will send you a reject message indicating the reason(s) of rejection and suggest how it could be improved.


When your listing gets approved, your topic(s) and talk option(s) will become visible to other users on the Platform and they will be able to send you talk suggestions to book a conversation. To see and accept such talk suggestions, new Open Humans will be required to verify their identity and provide payout method to receive conversation proceeds for paid talk options.


Once you register as an Open Human, you can also be a buyer on the Platform and book talk options of other users whose topics or knowledge seem relevant to you. More details on buying on the Platform can be found in section Becoming a buyer on the Platform of these Terms.

5. Becoming a buyer on the Platform

To buy talk options on the Platform you will have to become a “Curious Human”. Curious Humans are required to sign-up, verify their e-mail addresses, upload their profile picture, provide a short description of themselves, indicate payment method and verify their identity. Once this is completed, Curious Humans may choose from a variety of topics and meet options listed on the Platform by the sellers and send them talk suggestions.

6. Identity verification

Trust and security are core values of our community, so we ask everyone to provide identification before talking.


To verify your identity, you will be asked to enter your first and last name, nationality, date of birth and upload a picture of your passport, identity card or your driver’s license. Your date of birth, nationality and copy of passport, identity card or driver’s license will not be visible to other users on the Platform.


Once you verify your identity, you will be able to send and receive talk suggestions as well as perform other actions that require identity verification on the Platform.

7. Your content

7.1. User content

The Services enable you to share your content – called “topics” –with other users on the Platform ("User Content"). You retain all intellectual property rights in, and are responsible for, the User Content you share. To the extent that you provide User Content, you grant us a fully-transferable, royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to copy, distribute, modify, create derivative works based on, publicly perform, publicly display, and otherwise use the User Content. Nothing in these Terms shall restrict other legal rights that Kintro may have to User Content, for example under other licenses. We reserve the right to remove or modify User Content for any reason, including User Content that we believe violates these Terms.


7.2. Topics

Topics are the main organizing principle of User Content on the Platform. Topics offer an occasion for discussion and govern the specific knowledge an Open Human has to share. Topics are also a subject matter of talk options and talk suggestions and are the avenues by which our users engage each other for meaningful conversations. When you write a topic, we encourage you to present a well-defined, focused, and developed description. Your topic description is like getting to know someone for the first time. It is your way of saying hello to the other users and gives an attention-catching background for the experience that you possess and the knowledge that you are capable of sharing. In this context the term “knowledge” shall mean familiarity, awareness, or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, descriptions, processes, or skills, which are acquired through experience, day-to-day life or education, by perceiving, discovering or learning. By creating a topic on the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are familiar with the topic you create and are capable of sharing it in the form specified by your talk option(s).


7.3. Topic categories

Kintro organizes all topics into different categories to help the buyers find what they are looking for and increase awareness of new listings. Currently there are 2 (two) types of categories on the Platform, i.e. automated and curated. Automated topic categories include, but are not limited to the following:


Latest topics;

Free meet options; and

Featured users.

Curated topic categories depend on the contents of your topic and can be assigned to one of the following categories (the list is not exhaustive and is to be considered only as a guide):


Self care; Wine & dine; Ask a music insider; Strengthen your brand; Food for thought; Healthy lifestyle; Unique topics; Hobby as career; Tech & startups; Grow your business; Discover new places; Practical guidance; Science & technology; Fast forward your career; Marketing advice; Graphic design; Legal & finance; Sustainable living; Social responsibility; Fashion & beauty; Evolve your creativity; Etc.


To improve our users’ experience and the relevance of listings, Kintro retains the right to introduce new automated and curated categories at its sole discretion.

8. Talk options

All topics shared on our Platform are delivered through online or offline conversations called “talk options”.


Online talk options include but are not limited to:


video calls; and

e-mail conversations.

Offline talk options include, but are not limited to the following meeting options:


Ask me anything over a cup of coffee

Lunch at a restaurant

Walk my pet with me

Drive around town

Meet in your favorite place

Breakfast at a café

Visit exhibition

Studio visit

If none of the provided default talk option suits you or your topic, you may create a custom talk option. We do not impose any limitations on the format of talk options, the only requirement is that a talk option must not contradict or violate these Terms and be secure for all the parties involved.


Kintro retains the right to introduce new online and offline default talk options at its sole discretion.

9. Free and paid talk options

Free and paid talk options are available on the Platform.


9.1. Free talk options

Not all of our users want to profit from their knowledge and/or feel uncomfortable in determining the value of their talk options. To help you break the ice, meet new people, experience the product and check what sells or is trending, we made a free talk option available on the Platform.


The free talk option allows you to get the same customer experience and consists of all product features included in paid talk options except that it is free of any fees or charges for all the parties involved.


Free talk options are available for listing and booking worldwide.


9.2. Paid talk options

Unlike the free talk option, to create a paid talk option you will be asked to indicate a price of your conversation and choose one of the supported currencies for it.


Since our payment services do not (yet) cover all countries in the world, we apply different rules to paid talk options in countries where our payment services are supported and unsupported.


9.3. Supported and Unsupported Countries

Currently, there are 28 countries supported by our Platform and payment partner where we handle transactions, refunds and chargebacks on your behalf. You can find a complete list of countries where we support payment services for paid talk options here (the “Supported Countries”). All countries that are not included in the list of Supported Countries shall be deemed as the “Unsupported Countries”.


In case a paid talk option is listed by a seller residing in one of the Unsupported Countries, we cannot provide payment services to you and therefore provisions of Payment services, Escrow payment Terms and other conditions of these Terms related to payments do not apply to you (the “Unsupported Paid Talk Option”).


If you wish to buy or sell an Unsupported Paid Talk Option, you should agree on a method of payment and other terms related to settlement directly with the other user at your own risk.


9.4. Pricing your paid talk option

You must indicate the value of your conversation if you want to add a paid talk option. When you add a new paid talk option, you must value it within the range of 9.00 EUR (the “Minimum Value”) and 9,999.00 EUR (the “Maximum Value”).


When you press the “add new talk option” button on our Platform, it pre-fills the talk option price window automatically, but such price filling is non-binding and may be amended at your sole discretion.


We may set different Minimum and Maximum Values of paid talk options for different currencies supported by our Platform.


9.5. Supported currencies for paid talk options in Supported Countries

Currently the following currencies are supported by our Platform and payment partner for settlement of paid services:


British pound sterling (GBP); and

Euro (EUR).

From time to time we may introduce additional currencies for paid talk options in Supported Countries on our Platform.


9.6. Supported currencies for Unsupported Paid Talk Options

Although you cannot use our payment services for Unsupported Paid Talk Options, to increase overall customer experience and ensure clarity on listings prices, Unsupported Paid Talk Options may be listed in one of the following currencies:


United Arab Emirates dirham (AED)

Australian dollar (AUD)

Bulgarian lev (BGN)

Bahraini dinar (BHD)

Brazilian real (BRL)

South African rand (ZAR).

From time to time we may introduce additional currencies for Unsupported Paid Talk Options on our Platform.

10. Talk suggestions

If you come across a topic or person that you would like to talk or meet with, you may engage him or her by sending a talk suggestion.


When a seller receives your talk suggestion, he/she can either accept it or cancel it by indicating one of the following reasons:


Open Human does not like the topic;

Open Human is not the right person for the topic;

Open Human is too busy;

Open Human is looking for something else; and

Open Human can also add a personal note specifying the reason for cancelling.

A talk suggestion is not mandatory and either party can opt to not agree to a sale.


Through the Services, you will have the ability to access and/or use User Content. Since individual knowledge is unique and perception of its value and/or its validity is of subjective nature, we cannot guarantee that such User Content, in the Services or elsewhere, will be valuable, correct or you may find it objectionable or otherwise inappropriate. Kintro disclaims any responsibility or liability related to your access or use of, or inability to access and use, such User Content.

11. Donation

Our Platform allows sellers to benefit nonprofit organizations. Open Humans may allocate between 5% and 100% of their paid talk option proceeds to their favorite charity from the drop-down list of charities available on the Platform.


If you decide to donate, then every time you have a paid talk option on the Platform, a dedicated part of your conversation proceeds will be allocated to the charity chosen.


Since our payment services do not apply to Unsupported Paid Meeting Options, only sellers from supported countries may donate.


You can decide to discontinue donation or alter the percentage of proceeds allocated at any given time. Any changes to donation settings will be applied to future requests only and shall not impact donations already made.

12. Charities

Charities registered on our Platform receive 100% of donations made by Open Humans free of any charges or handling costs.


An income statement indicating the aggregate value of donations received is sent to respective representatives of the charity on the last calendar day of each month. Payout of donated funds is done on a monthly basis within 30 days of each statement unless the aggregate value of donations received is less than EUR or GBP 100.00 respectively. In case of the later, donated funds will compound until next month until the aggregate value of donations received reaches a minimum payout amount, i.e. EUR or GBP 100.00 respectively.


If you want to become a featured charity on our Platform, you can send us your request via email at charity@Kintro.app or fill-in an application form at https://www.Kintro.app/new-charity


Any and all charity applications will be accepted or rejected at Kintro’s sole discretion.

13. Safety

We take the safety of our users seriously.


Although Kintro takes action to identify and verify the identity of its users and strives to encourage a respectful user experience through features like meetings in person to share knowledge and communicate, we are not responsible for the conduct of any user on or off of the Platform.


You agree to be cautious in all interactions with other users, especially if you decide to interact with one another and meet in person. In addition, you agree to review and follow Kintro Safety Tips prior to using the Services.


You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users and understand that Kintro does not conduct criminal background checks on its users or otherwise inquire into their background. Kintro makes no representations or warranties as to the conduct of its users.

Please note that Kintro may use automatic scanning tools/filters in order to detect and prevent spam and/or fraud and/or any other activity contrary to applicable legal acts on the Platform. In such cases Kintro representatives will cross-check automatic-scanning/filtering results (without accessing messages) in order to determine what preventative action should be taken to ensure the security of the platform.

These checks entail, but are not limited to, checking your ID, photo, meeting option description and your experience related to a meeting option.

19. Prohibited talk options

We reserve the right to determine what talk options are and aren’t allowed on Kintro. If we discover that certain meeting options violate our Terms, pose any risk to our members, infringe the rights of any third party or breach any applicable local, national or international law or regulation, we may act in any way to prevent that.

Please note that you will always see the applicable Fee for the talk option you intend to buy and/or sell.

21. Selling using the Platform

Where you use our Platform to sell any talk options:


A talk option that is for sale is an offer by the seller which may be accepted by a buyer.

Prior to entry into a contract with a buyer, you may consider offers for a talk option from other Platform users.

A talk suggestion from a buyer to buy a talk option is not mandatory. You can opt to not agree to a sale.

Once you confirm the talk option details on the chat page you acknowledge and agree that you enter into a contract with the buyer to sell that talk option to them.

You may terminate the contract with the buyer, but that could become subject to a penalty in the amount of the agreed upon purchase price and/or Kintro fee and/or suspension of your account.

22. Payment services

Kintro is responsible for the transactions going over the Platform for paid talk options in Supported Countries, and in this capacity will handle refunds, chargebacks.  Where you use our payment services:


Buyers must pay sellers for talk options by credit or debit card, Kintro balance, or bank transfer using the payment services on the Platform.

Payments must be made in the supported currency specified on the Platform.

All prices are inclusive of VAT (where applicable) and other applicable taxes.

Kintro’s fee of 8% is always added atop the price of the listed talk option as to be paid by a buyer.

Kintro’s fee of 10% is always subtracted from the price of the listed talk option as to be paid by a seller.

Buyers and sellers will always see the applicable fees for Kintro Services when they intend to buy and/or sell a talk option through the Platform.

Buyers and sellers are each responsible for their own additional costs or expenditures, that arise during their meeting, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the buyer and the seller beforehand.

Payment for a talk option is made in advance. The buyer’s credit or debit card, Kintro balance, or bank account will be charged when the buyer and seller enter into a contract. We will not credit the seller’s account until the buyer has deemed to have accepted the talk option.

Kintro may at any point in time upon its sole discretion suspend and/or cancel any transaction and or requested payment should it have grounds to believe that such transaction may be fraudulent or contrary to the applicable legal acts or harmful to Kintro and/or any user or third party.

We use a third party service provider to process your payment and to store your credit or debit card, ID card copy or similar information. When using our payment services, you agree with our provider’s conditions and terms. We shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of such third party. You shall be solely responsible for the transmission of information connected to your credit or debit card, or bank account and we hereby exclude all liability to the extent permitted by law.

23. Stripe

Kintro payments are processed via the certified electronic payment system Stripe. Stripe is assessed for PCI DSS by PSC, a QSA for the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. Their PCI ASV is Qualys. As a principal member and licensed acquirer of Visa and MasterCard, Stripe also adheres to the card schemes’ operating regulations. Stripe is subject to yearly audits by Visa, MasterCard and the banks they partner with. Stripe operates independent anti-DDOS solutions from two different vendors. Regarding the secure storage of cryptographic keys, Stripe uses HSMs to which no individual access by anyone is granted. To use Stripe, members have to set up a so-called e-wallet on the platform. E-wallet is an electronic money account that allows you to send and receive payments. To set up an e-wallet at least the following data may be requested: name, first name, e-mail address and date of birth, as well as nationality and country of residence of the user. When using Stripe, a separate contract is concluded between the user and Stripe in accordance with the Stripe conditions. By agreeing to these terms and conditions, the user automatically agrees to the former conditions as well as Stripe's Privacy Policy that applies to processing of data collected by Stripe in for purpose of processing payments on the Platform and Stripe's Restricted & Prohibited List that shows for which Services Stripe may not be used for, or only may be used for with the express written permission of Stripe. Please visit www.stripe.com in order to access all applicable conditions.


When using our payment services, you agree with our provider’s conditions and terms. We shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of such third party payment service provider. You shall be solely responsible for the transmission of information connected to your credit or debit card, or bank account and we hereby exclude all liability to the extent permitted by law. Please know that for use of e-wallet Stripe applies Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) rules as specified in the Stripe conditions. However, Kintro reserves the right to apply lower value thresholds for triggering KYC identification requirements for sole purpose of preventing suspension of any future transactions by the payment service provider Stripe. The money that the sellers gained at selling items on Kintro will be kept on a Kintro balance. The money can be transferred any time by the seller to his personal bank account. Please note that additional terms may apply.

24. Escrow payment Terms

In order to protect our buyers, we will hold the purchase price for the meeting for not less than 2 days after the date on which that talk option was supposed to have happened or until both buyer and seller have marked on the Platform that the conversation happened. During this period it is the buyer’s or seller’s responsibility to raise a dispute. After this period, compensation is no longer applicable and funds are released to the seller. All disputes must be raised via Kintro and not via external payment services. If a seller fails to show up to the agreed upon conversation with a buyer we shall be entitled to refund the purchase price to the buyer’s account. The buyer must notify us about the aforementioned issue by using the Platform within 2 days after the conversation as shown in the system. The refund of the purchase price shall be the buyer’s only remedy in respect of its contract with the seller. If a buyer deems that the conversation was not as agreed upon or is unhappy with the conversation, the buyer must raise a dispute by using the Platform within 2 days after the conversation as shown in the system. In such case, Kintro will carefully investigate the dispute. Kintro reserves the full right to refund or not to refund the purchase price to the buyer’s account, based on the dispute’s investigation results. If a buyer does not contact us within 2 days after the conversation, the buyer will be deemed to have accepted the conversation. On acceptance of a conversation, we will credit to the seller’s account the purchase price of that conversation less any commission due to us. Where the buyer raises a dispute, we will hold the purchase price minus any commission due to us until we have investigated the claim. Despite the payment method chosen by the buyer – all Escrow Payment related disputes shall be addressed to Kintro directly, unless Kintro provides for a feature for users to settle/agree-on such dispute directly without approaching Kintro. In this case the dispute is considered to be settled and transaction completed once users reach a mutual agreement.

Kintro will not accept any repeated claims from users. Kintro reserves the right to deny compensation and claim back compensation paid out for a user in case the user in question has already received adequate compensation from other sources (e.g. third-party payment service provider).

25. Removal, warnings, blocking, suspension and termination

Terms & conditions for using Kintro


These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") and the documents referred to in them apply to your use of mobile applications called Kintro available for iOS and Android devices, and/or desktop applications called Kintro available for MacOS and Windows devices, and/or the website located at the address https://kintro.co/ (each known as the "Platform").


If you do not agree to these terms you should not access or view the Platform.


This Platform is operated by Kintro Limited, (UK company number 14072039) whose registered office is at 20-22 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU, United Kingdom ("we" "our" "Kintro").

1. Other applicable Terms

These Terms of use also incorporate our Privacy Policy, which sets out the terms on which we process any personal data we collect about you or that you provide to us. By using this Platform, you agree to such processing of your data and you warrant that all data provided by you is accurate.

2. Who we are

Kintro is a community-building platform aiming to make communities more useful, more rewarding and more engaging. We believe that community is a proxy for trust, and that we all like to engage in economic activity with people that we trust. We are therefore building a platform that enables people to ask their community for help, receive that help, and engage in economic transactions with those people.


You can read more about our philosophy on community-building, trust and the future of services on our blog.

3. Services

Our Platform is an online facility through which individuals can buy and sell meaningful knowledge sharing conversations called the “talk options”. Talk options enable our users to communicate with one another online or offline on a variety of different topics (the "Services"). From time to time Kintro may also make available to the users certain additional-services subject to additional charges. You undertake to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with your use of the Services.

4. Becoming a seller on the Platform

To become a seller (or as we call it – an “Open Human”) on the Platform, you will have to sign-up, verify your e-mail address, upload your profile picture, provide a short description about yourself, indicate your country of residence and apply to become an Open Human.


In your application to become an Open Human, you will have to indicate at least one topic that you wish to talk about along with at least one free or paid talk option.


Your topic and talk option listing will be activated and placed on the Platform as soon as we review and approve your listing. Until we approve your listing, it will be marked as “pending for approval” and will not be visible to other users on the Platform. We reserve the right to reject your listing if it violates our Terms and more specifically, our rules for listing talk options and prohibited talk options.


The indicative list of reasons we may reject your listing are listed below (the list is not exhaustive and is to be considered only as a guide):


your profile picture is inappropriate (for more details please see FAQ for Profile Photo Guidelines and Requirements);

your topic and topic description violate these Terms;

your talk option violates these Terms.

If we reject your listing, we will send you a reject message indicating the reason(s) of rejection and suggest how it could be improved.


When your listing gets approved, your topic(s) and talk option(s) will become visible to other users on the Platform and they will be able to send you talk suggestions to book a conversation. To see and accept such talk suggestions, new Open Humans will be required to verify their identity and provide payout method to receive conversation proceeds for paid talk options.


Once you register as an Open Human, you can also be a buyer on the Platform and book talk options of other users whose topics or knowledge seem relevant to you. More details on buying on the Platform can be found in section Becoming a buyer on the Platform of these Terms.

5. Becoming a buyer on the Platform

To buy talk options on the Platform you will have to become a “Curious Human”. Curious Humans are required to sign-up, verify their e-mail addresses, upload their profile picture, provide a short description of themselves, indicate payment method and verify their identity. Once this is completed, Curious Humans may choose from a variety of topics and meet options listed on the Platform by the sellers and send them talk suggestions.

6. Identity verification

Trust and security are core values of our community, so we ask everyone to provide identification before talking.


To verify your identity, you will be asked to enter your first and last name, nationality, date of birth and upload a picture of your passport, identity card or your driver’s license. Your date of birth, nationality and copy of passport, identity card or driver’s license will not be visible to other users on the Platform.


Once you verify your identity, you will be able to send and receive talk suggestions as well as perform other actions that require identity verification on the Platform.

7. Your content

7.1. User content

The Services enable you to share your content – called “topics” –with other users on the Platform ("User Content"). You retain all intellectual property rights in, and are responsible for, the User Content you share. To the extent that you provide User Content, you grant us a fully-transferable, royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to copy, distribute, modify, create derivative works based on, publicly perform, publicly display, and otherwise use the User Content. Nothing in these Terms shall restrict other legal rights that Kintro may have to User Content, for example under other licenses. We reserve the right to remove or modify User Content for any reason, including User Content that we believe violates these Terms.


7.2. Topics

Topics are the main organizing principle of User Content on the Platform. Topics offer an occasion for discussion and govern the specific knowledge an Open Human has to share. Topics are also a subject matter of talk options and talk suggestions and are the avenues by which our users engage each other for meaningful conversations. When you write a topic, we encourage you to present a well-defined, focused, and developed description. Your topic description is like getting to know someone for the first time. It is your way of saying hello to the other users and gives an attention-catching background for the experience that you possess and the knowledge that you are capable of sharing. In this context the term “knowledge” shall mean familiarity, awareness, or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, descriptions, processes, or skills, which are acquired through experience, day-to-day life or education, by perceiving, discovering or learning. By creating a topic on the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are familiar with the topic you create and are capable of sharing it in the form specified by your talk option(s).


7.3. Topic categories

Kintro organizes all topics into different categories to help the buyers find what they are looking for and increase awareness of new listings. Currently there are 2 (two) types of categories on the Platform, i.e. automated and curated. Automated topic categories include, but are not limited to the following:


Latest topics;

Free meet options; and

Featured users.

Curated topic categories depend on the contents of your topic and can be assigned to one of the following categories (the list is not exhaustive and is to be considered only as a guide):


Self care; Wine & dine; Ask a music insider; Strengthen your brand; Food for thought; Healthy lifestyle; Unique topics; Hobby as career; Tech & startups; Grow your business; Discover new places; Practical guidance; Science & technology; Fast forward your career; Marketing advice; Graphic design; Legal & finance; Sustainable living; Social responsibility; Fashion & beauty; Evolve your creativity; Etc.


To improve our users’ experience and the relevance of listings, Kintro retains the right to introduce new automated and curated categories at its sole discretion.

8. Talk options

All topics shared on our Platform are delivered through online or offline conversations called “talk options”.


Online talk options include but are not limited to:


video calls; and

e-mail conversations.

Offline talk options include, but are not limited to the following meeting options:


Ask me anything over a cup of coffee

Lunch at a restaurant

Walk my pet with me

Drive around town

Meet in your favorite place

Breakfast at a café

Visit exhibition

Studio visit

If none of the provided default talk option suits you or your topic, you may create a custom talk option. We do not impose any limitations on the format of talk options, the only requirement is that a talk option must not contradict or violate these Terms and be secure for all the parties involved.


Kintro retains the right to introduce new online and offline default talk options at its sole discretion.

9. Free and paid talk options

Free and paid talk options are available on the Platform.


9.1. Free talk options

Not all of our users want to profit from their knowledge and/or feel uncomfortable in determining the value of their talk options. To help you break the ice, meet new people, experience the product and check what sells or is trending, we made a free talk option available on the Platform.


The free talk option allows you to get the same customer experience and consists of all product features included in paid talk options except that it is free of any fees or charges for all the parties involved.


Free talk options are available for listing and booking worldwide.


9.2. Paid talk options

Unlike the free talk option, to create a paid talk option you will be asked to indicate a price of your conversation and choose one of the supported currencies for it.


Since our payment services do not (yet) cover all countries in the world, we apply different rules to paid talk options in countries where our payment services are supported and unsupported.


9.3. Supported and Unsupported Countries

Currently, there are 28 countries supported by our Platform and payment partner where we handle transactions, refunds and chargebacks on your behalf. You can find a complete list of countries where we support payment services for paid talk options here (the “Supported Countries”). All countries that are not included in the list of Supported Countries shall be deemed as the “Unsupported Countries”.


In case a paid talk option is listed by a seller residing in one of the Unsupported Countries, we cannot provide payment services to you and therefore provisions of Payment services, Escrow payment Terms and other conditions of these Terms related to payments do not apply to you (the “Unsupported Paid Talk Option”).


If you wish to buy or sell an Unsupported Paid Talk Option, you should agree on a method of payment and other terms related to settlement directly with the other user at your own risk.


9.4. Pricing your paid talk option

You must indicate the value of your conversation if you want to add a paid talk option. When you add a new paid talk option, you must value it within the range of 9.00 EUR (the “Minimum Value”) and 9,999.00 EUR (the “Maximum Value”).


When you press the “add new talk option” button on our Platform, it pre-fills the talk option price window automatically, but such price filling is non-binding and may be amended at your sole discretion.


We may set different Minimum and Maximum Values of paid talk options for different currencies supported by our Platform.


9.5. Supported currencies for paid talk options in Supported Countries

Currently the following currencies are supported by our Platform and payment partner for settlement of paid services:


British pound sterling (GBP); and

Euro (EUR).

From time to time we may introduce additional currencies for paid talk options in Supported Countries on our Platform.


9.6. Supported currencies for Unsupported Paid Talk Options

Although you cannot use our payment services for Unsupported Paid Talk Options, to increase overall customer experience and ensure clarity on listings prices, Unsupported Paid Talk Options may be listed in one of the following currencies:


United Arab Emirates dirham (AED)

Australian dollar (AUD)

Bulgarian lev (BGN)

Bahraini dinar (BHD)

Brazilian real (BRL)

From time to time we may introduce additional currencies for Unsupported Paid Talk Options on our Platform.

10. Talk suggestions

If you come across a topic or person that you would like to talk or meet with, you may engage him or her by sending a talk suggestion.


When a seller receives your talk suggestion, he/she can either accept it or cancel it by indicating one of the following reasons:


Open Human does not like the topic;

Open Human is not the right person for the topic;

Open Human is too busy;

Open Human is looking for something else; and

Open Human can also add a personal note specifying the reason for cancelling.

A talk suggestion is not mandatory and either party can opt to not agree to a sale.


Through the Services, you will have the ability to access and/or use User Content. Since individual knowledge is unique and perception of its value and/or its validity is of subjective nature, we cannot guarantee that such User Content, in the Services or elsewhere, will be valuable, correct or you may find it objectionable or otherwise inappropriate. Kintro disclaims any responsibility or liability related to your access or use of, or inability to access and use, such User Content.

11. Donation

Our Platform allows sellers to benefit nonprofit organizations. Open Humans may allocate between 5% and 100% of their paid talk option proceeds to their favorite charity from the drop-down list of charities available on the Platform.


If you decide to donate, then every time you have a paid talk option on the Platform, a dedicated part of your conversation proceeds will be allocated to the charity chosen.


Since our payment services do not apply to Unsupported Paid Meeting Options, only sellers from supported countries may donate.


You can decide to discontinue donation or alter the percentage of proceeds allocated at any given time. Any changes to donation settings will be applied to future requests only and shall not impact donations already made.

12. Charities

Charities registered on our Platform receive 100% of donations made by Open Humans free of any charges or handling costs.


An income statement indicating the aggregate value of donations received is sent to respective representatives of the charity on the last calendar day of each month. Payout of donated funds is done on a monthly basis within 30 days of each statement unless the aggregate value of donations received is less than EUR or GBP 100.00 respectively. In case of the later, donated funds will compound until next month until the aggregate value of donations received reaches a minimum payout amount, i.e. EUR or GBP 100.00 respectively.


If you want to become a featured charity on our Platform, you can send us your request via email at charity@Kintro.app or fill-in an application form at https://www.Kintro.app/new-charity


Any and all charity applications will be accepted or rejected at Kintro’s sole discretion.

13. Safety

We take the safety of our users seriously.


Although Kintro takes action to identify and verify the identity of its users and strives to encourage a respectful user experience through features like meetings in person to share knowledge and communicate, we are not responsible for the conduct of any user on or off of the Platform.

Please note that Kintro may use automatic scanning tools/filters in order to detect and prevent spam and/or fraud and/or any other activity contrary to applicable legal acts on the Platform. In such cases Kintro representatives will cross-check automatic-scanning/filtering results (without accessing messages) in order to determine what preventative action should be taken to ensure the security of the platform.

This is to make sure that you are who you say you are, to maintain a high level of quality to users of our Platform and for security purposes. These checks entail, but are not limited to, checking your ID, photo, meeting option description and your experience related to a meeting option.

19. Prohibited talk options

We reserve the right to determine what talk options are and aren’t allowed on Kintro. If we discover that certain meeting options violate our Terms, pose any risk to our members, infringe the rights of any third party or breach any applicable local, national or international law or regulation, we may act in any way to prevent that.

Please note that you will always see the applicable Fee for the talk option you intend to buy and/or sell.

21. Selling using the Platform

Where you use our Platform to sell any talk options:


A talk option that is for sale is an offer by the seller which may be accepted by a buyer.

Prior to entry into a contract with a buyer, you may consider offers for a talk option from other Platform users.

A talk suggestion from a buyer to buy a talk option is not mandatory. You can opt to not agree to a sale.

Once you confirm the talk option details on the chat page you acknowledge and agree that you enter into a contract with the buyer to sell that talk option to them.

You may terminate the contract with the buyer, but that could become subject to a penalty in the amount of the agreed upon purchase price and/or Kintro fee and/or suspension of your account.

22. Payment services

Kintro is responsible for the transactions going over the Platform for paid talk options in Supported Countries, and in this capacity will handle refunds, chargebacks.  Where you use our payment services:


Buyers must pay sellers for talk options by credit or debit card, Kintro balance, or bank transfer using the payment services on the Platform.

Payments must be made in the supported currency specified on the Platform.

All prices are inclusive of VAT (where applicable) and other applicable taxes.

Kintro’s fee of 8% is always added atop the price of the listed talk option as to be paid by a buyer.

Kintro’s fee of 10% is always subtracted from the price of the listed talk option as to be paid by a seller.

Buyers and sellers will always see the applicable fees for Kintro Services when they intend to buy and/or sell a talk option through the Platform.

Buyers and sellers are each responsible for their own additional costs or expenditures, that arise during their meeting, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the buyer and the seller beforehand.

Payment for a talk option is made in advance. The buyer’s credit or debit card, Kintro balance, or bank account will be charged when the buyer and seller enter into a contract. We will not credit the seller’s account until the buyer has deemed to have accepted the talk option.

Kintro may at any point in time upon its sole discretion suspend and/or cancel any transaction and or requested payment should it have grounds to believe that such transaction may be fraudulent or contrary to the applicable legal acts or harmful to Kintro and/or any user or third party.

We use a third party service provider to process your payment and to store your credit or debit card, ID card copy or similar information. When using our payment services, you agree with our provider’s conditions and terms. We shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of such third party. You shall be solely responsible for the transmission of information connected to your credit or debit card, or bank account and we hereby exclude all liability to the extent permitted by law.

23. Stripe

Kintro payments are processed via the certified electronic payment system Stripe. Stripe is assessed for PCI DSS by PSC, a QSA for the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. Their PCI ASV is Qualys. As a principal member and licensed acquirer of Visa and MasterCard, Stripe also adheres to the card schemes’ operating regulations. Stripe is subject to yearly audits by Visa, MasterCard and the banks they partner with. Stripe operates independent anti-DDOS solutions from two different vendors. Regarding the secure storage of cryptographic keys, Stripe uses HSMs to which no individual access by anyone is granted. To use Stripe, members have to set up a so-called e-wallet on the platform. E-wallet is an electronic money account that allows you to send and receive payments. To set up an e-wallet at least the following data may be requested: name, first name, e-mail address and date of birth, as well as nationality and country of residence of the user. When using Stripe, a separate contract is concluded between the user and Stripe in accordance with the Stripe conditions. By agreeing to these terms and conditions, the user automatically agrees to the former conditions as well as Stripe's Privacy Policy that applies to processing of data collected by Stripe in for purpose of processing payments on the Platform and Stripe's Restricted & Prohibited List that shows for which Services Stripe may not be used for, or only may be used for with the express written permission of Stripe. Please visit www.stripe.com in order to access all applicable conditions.


When using our payment services, you agree with our provider’s conditions and terms. We shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of such third party payment service provider. You shall be solely responsible for the transmission of information connected to your credit or debit card, or bank account and we hereby exclude all liability to the extent permitted by law. Please know that for use of e-wallet Stripe applies Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) rules as specified in the Stripe conditions. However, Kintro reserves the right to apply lower value thresholds for triggering KYC identification requirements for sole purpose of preventing suspension of any future transactions by the payment service provider Stripe. The money that the sellers gained at selling items on Kintro will be kept on a Kintro balance. The money can be transferred any time by the seller to his personal bank account. Please note that additional terms may apply.

24. Escrow payment Terms

In order to protect our buyers, we will hold the purchase price for the meeting for not less than 2 days after the date on which that talk option was supposed to have happened or until both buyer and seller have marked on the Platform that the conversation happened. During this period it is the buyer’s or seller’s responsibility to raise a dispute. After this period, compensation is no longer applicable and funds are released to the seller. All disputes must be raised via Kintro and not via external payment services. If a seller fails to show up to the agreed upon conversation with a buyer we shall be entitled to refund the purchase price to the buyer’s account. The buyer must notify us about the aforementioned issue by using the Platform within 2 days after the conversation as shown in the system. The refund of the purchase price shall be the buyer’s only remedy in respect of its contract with the seller. If a buyer deems that the conversation was not as agreed upon or is unhappy with the conversation, the buyer must raise a dispute by using the Platform within 2 days after the conversation as shown in the system. In such case, Kintro will carefully investigate the dispute. Kintro reserves the full right to refund or not to refund the purchase price to the buyer’s account, based on the dispute’s investigation results. If a buyer does not contact us within 2 days after the conversation, the buyer will be deemed to have accepted the conversation. On acceptance of a conversation, we will credit to the seller’s account the purchase price of that conversation less any commission due to us. Where the buyer raises a dispute, we will hold the purchase price minus any commission due to us until we have investigated the claim. Despite the payment method chosen by the buyer – all Escrow Payment related disputes shall be addressed to Kintro directly, unless Kintro provides for a feature for users to settle/agree-on such dispute directly without approaching Kintro. In this case the dispute is considered to be settled and transaction completed once users reach a mutual agreement.

Kintro will not accept any repeated claims from users. Kintro reserves the right to deny compensation and claim back compensation paid out for a user in case the user in question has already received adequate compensation from other sources (e.g. third-party payment service provider).

25. Removal, warnings, blocking, suspension and termination
