  • Can create, edit, and delete their structures and entities.
  • Can invite up to 2 advisors to collaborate on their structures.

  • Must maintain appropriate professional qualifications.
  • Are responsible for their own professional obligations regarding client data.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication is available and recommended for all accounts. Advisor accounts are strongly encouraged to enable 2FA due to the elevated access they may have to client data. Google Single Sign-On (SSO) is also available as an alternative authentication method.

Session Management

Sessions expire after a period of inactivity. You should sign out when using shared devices. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

6. Pricing and Payment

Plans

The Platform offers various subscription plans with different features and limits. Current pricing is displayed on our website and within the Platform. All prices are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and include GST where applicable.

No Processing Guarantee

Klaris is a data management and visualisation platform. You input your financial structure data and Klaris organises and displays it. We do not process your data to produce new financial insights or recommendations. As such, no satisfaction or outcome guarantee applies to the use of the Platform.

Payment Processing

All payments are processed securely by Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processor. We do not store, process, or have access to your full credit card or payment details. Your payment information is handled entirely by Stripe's secure infrastructure.

Refund Policy

Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. We do not provide refunds for partial months of subscription. If you believe a charge was made in error, contact us within 14 days. Refunds may be considered at our discretion. To request a refund, contact us at info@krrispdigital.com.au.

Price Changes

We may change our pricing from time to time. Existing subscribers will be given at least 30 days' notice of any price increase.

If you do not agree to a price change, you may cancel your subscription before the change takes effect.
