9. Payments

KATI’s standard business model is based on Business subscriptions.

Customers generally:

  1. Discover a Business through KATI
  2. Select a service

KATI does not generally provide the booked service or process payment for the underlying service.

Under KATI’s standard model, Customers are not charged a booking commission or booking fee.

Businesses may pay Mykati Co. a recurring subscription fee for access to KATI’s Business services.

If KATI introduces payment functionality in the future, additional terms and privacy information may apply.

Businesses may choose to make information such as their name, location, services, prices, opening hours, photographs, descriptions, staff profiles and availability publicly available through KATI.

Businesses are responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights and permissions to publish information or content they provide to KATI.

Mykati Co. may remove content that violates applicable law, our Terms & Conditions or our policies.


11. Sensitive Information

KATI is not designed to require sensitive personal information for ordinary bookings.

Users should avoid providing unnecessary sensitive information in booking notes, reviews, comments or other free-text fields.

Businesses should also avoid requesting unnecessary sensitive information through KATI.

Where sensitive information is legitimately required for a particular service, the relevant Business remains responsible for handling that information appropriately and in accordance with applicable requirements.
