Kayya provides software tools, patient/client financing infrastructure, and membership program management to help business owners streamline revenue operations, improve collection rates, and offer flexible payment options to their customers.

The Client desires to access and use the Kayya platform under the terms set forth in this Agreement, and Kayya agrees to provide such access subject to those terms.

In consideration of the mutual covenants and the fees described herein, the parties agree as follows.

  • "Platform" means the Kayya Financial software-as-a-service application, including all modules, APIs, dashboards, reporting tools, and related services made available to the Client.
  • "Financing Module" means the patient/client financing feature that enables the Client to offer installment payment options to their end customers, facilitated through Kayya's third-party lending network.
  • "Kayya Care Membership Module" means the recurring membership program management feature allowing the Client to create, sell, and administer in-house membership plans for their customers.
  • "Financial OS" means the integrated suite of tools including the Financing Module, Kayya Care Membership Module, reporting dashboards, and any additional modules made available under the Client's selected subscription plan.
  • "Subscription Fee" means the recurring monthly fee payable by the Client for access to the Platform as specified in Schedule A.
  • "Client Data" means all data, records, and information submitted by or on behalf of the Client through the Platform.
  • "End Customer" means any patient, client, or customer of the Client who interacts with the Platform through the Client's account.

Platform Services

Subject to the terms of this Agreement and timely payment of all applicable fees, Kayya grants the Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Platform during the subscription term for the Client's internal business operations. The Platform includes the following modules:

2.1 Financial Operating System (SaaS Platform)

Kayya will provide the Client with access to its cloud-based Financial OS, including dashboard analytics, revenue reporting, workflow automation tools, and integrations with supported practice management and business software. Kayya reserves the right to update, modify, or enhance Platform features at any time with reasonable notice to the Client.

2.2 Patient / Client Financing

The Financing Module enables the Client to offer their End Customers flexible installment payment plans through Kayya's network of third-party lending partners. Kayya facilitates the connection between the Client and lenders but does not itself act as a lender or guarantee loan approval for any End Customer. All financing decisions are made by the applicable third-party lender(s) in accordance with their own underwriting criteria.

The Client acknowledges and agrees that:

  • Kayya makes no representations regarding the approval rates, terms, or availability of third-party financing for any specific End Customer.
  • The Client shall not make representations to End Customers regarding guaranteed financing outcomes.
  • All data submitted through the Financing Module is subject to Kayya's Privacy Policy and any applicable third-party lender data agreements.

2.3 Kayya Care Membership Program

The Kayya Care Membership Module enables the Client to design, launch, and manage a recurring in-house membership program for their End Customers. Kayya provides the software infrastructure for membership creation, enrollment, recurring billing, and member management. The Client is solely responsible for:

  • The terms, pricing, and benefits of any membership plan offered to End Customers.
  • Compliance with applicable consumer protection, state licensing, and regulatory requirements related to membership or subscription programs in their jurisdiction.
  • Communicating membership terms accurately to End Customers.

Subscription Fees & Payment

The Client agrees to pay Kayya all applicable fees as set forth in this Section 3 and Schedule A attached hereto and incorporated by reference. All fees are subject to change with written notice as described below.

3.1 Monthly SaaS Subscription Fee

Access to the Platform is provided on a tiered monthly subscription basis. Current plan pricing is as follows:

  • Lite Plan: $199.00 per month
  • Essential Plan: $299.00 per month
  • Enterprise Plan: $599.00 per month

The Client's selected plan and corresponding monthly fee are set forth in Schedule A. Subscription Fees are billed monthly in advance on the first day of each billing cycle and are non-refundable except as expressly required by applicable law.

3.2 Annual Fee Increases

Kayya reserves the right to increase Subscription Fees no more than once per calendar year. Any such increase shall be a minimum of ten percent (10%) above the then-current rate and shall be communicated to the Client via written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the increase. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date of a fee increase constitutes the Client's acceptance of the new pricing.

3.3 Loan Servicing Fee

For all in-house financing facilitated through the Platform - including collected down payments, recurring monthly installment payments, and Kayya Care Membership payments processed on behalf of the Client - Kayya will charge a loan servicing fee of six point nine nine percent (6.99%) of each collected amount. This fee is deducted at the time of collection before remittance to the Client.

3.4 Payment Processing Fees

In addition to the loan servicing fee described in Section 3.3, standard third-party payment processing fees apply to all transactions processed through the Platform. Current processing fee rates are as follows:

  • Credit card and debit card transactions: approximately 3.39% per transaction
  • ACH bank transfers: approximately 1.80% per transaction

Payment processing fees are assessed by third-party payment processors and passed through to the Client. These rates are subject to change based on processor rate adjustments and will be updated with written notice to the Client.

3.5 General Fee Terms

  • All fees described in this Section 3 are subject to change with written notice to the Client as specified herein.
  • Payment is due within fifteen (15) days of the invoice date.
  • Kayya accepts payment via ACH bank transfer, credit card, or other methods made available through the Platform.
  • In the event of a past-due balance exceeding fifteen (15) days, Kayya may suspend access to the Platform until all outstanding amounts are paid in full.
  • Any amounts not paid when due shall accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate permitted by law, if lower), computed from the due date until the date of full payment.

This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues on a month-to-month basis unless earlier terminated as provided herein.

4.2 Termination by Client
