THE APPLICATION
KIRAT operates a digital platform that enables Users to purchase, own, manage, transfer, gift, and redeem physical gold and gold jewelry products. The Application functions as a technological interface facilitating commercial transactions between KIRAT and its Users in relation to tangible gold products.
For the avoidance of doubt, KIRAT does not operate as a bank, financial institution, electronic money issuer, payment institution, deposit-taking entity, or digital wallet provider. The Services do not constitute financial services, investment products, savings accounts, or interest-bearing instruments. Any quantities or values displayed within the Application represent owned physical gold and not monetary balances or electronic funds.

Sale and Purchase of Gold
All gold offered through the Application is sold directly by KIRAT to the User.
Upon successful completion of payment, ownership of the corresponding quantity of physical gold transfers to the User.
The price of gold is displayed at the time of purchase and is determined by KIRAT based on international market references, local market conditions, and operational considerations.
KIRAT reserves the right to determine at its own discretion the price of physical gold offered on the Platform, and to change said price as frequently as it deems fit without prior notification.
The Application may automatically block any transaction exceeding the limit of USD 9,999 and your account undergoes special requirements.
All completed purchases are considered final purchases of gold and do not constitute deposits, stored funds, or refundable account balances.
Cancellation and Sell Back Policy
Any cancellation, liquidation, withdrawal, or refund request shall be treated as a sell back transaction whereby the user sells the previously purchased gold back to KIRAT.

KIRAT retains sole discretion in determining applicable buy and sell rates, spreads, pricing methodologies, and repurchase valuations.
Payments and Role of Payment Service Providers
Payments made through the Application are processed exclusively via licensed third-party payment service providers (PSPs).

All inquiries, claims, complaints, or disputes relating to the Services shall be handled exclusively by KIRAT.
Gold Ownership and Records
Following a completed purchase, the User becomes the owner of the purchased physical gold.
Ownership remains with the User until the gold is redeemed, gifted, or otherwise transferred.

KIRAT shall not be liable for any variation in gold prices or charges applied by integrated Vendors.
Jewelry redemptions are final and irrevocable except in cases of incorrect or damaged items.
Gold Gifting
The Application may allow Users to gift owned gold to other registered Users.
Gifting constitutes a transfer of ownership of physical gold and does not represent a monetary transfer or payment service.
KIRAT shall not be responsible for incorrect recipient details provided by the User.
Gold gifts are final and irreversible.
