  • providing an online platform that will collect and collate customer reviews of registered businesses;

The Services provided by CRPL consist of providing you (“you / the Client”) with certain limited access, via kundello.com (the “Site”) to CRPL’s proprietary platform (“Platform”) to tools, content, and other software that enables you to, amongst other things, collect, organise and use content created or otherwise supplied by your customers or certain other third-parties (together, “End Users”) on your website, social media platforms and third-party websites.

  • the Client has, or CRPL believes that the Client has breached these terms and conditions;
  • CRPL is unable to verify or authenticate any information the Client provides via the Site, Platform or otherwise as part of the Services;
  • CRPL believes that the Client’s actions may cause loss or damage to or otherwise unlawfully harm the Client, CRPL’s users (including End Users), third parties or CRPL, related bodies corporate or affiliates and its directors, employees or agents; or
  • if CRPL reasonably believes that any of the Client’s information is incorrect, misleading, inappropriate or of an offensive nature.
