Kismet Marketplace
The Platform provides a 'marketplace', listing and providing shortlists of Providers based on particular criteria inputted Users which can be used to, at a high level, review and compare some Providers that may be able to provide the desired services to the User.
The Platform provides information, advertisements and links to the websites of some Providers. The Platform does not contain, and Kismet does not provide, any personal recommendations, suggestions or advice about the suitability of a product or service.
The Providers' products and services marketed are not representative of all the providers and services available in the market. When a User inputs an enquiry in relation to a particular area of service, we endeavour to provide at least three options (save in circumstances where there are not three viable options available), with at least one Provider not being a Promoted Provider.
Promoted Providers pay higher subscription fees to Kismet for enhanced listing, matching and visibility on the Platform. Promoted Providers are identifiable to Users because their listing includes the words 'Promoted'. You agree that the higher subscription fee represents a benefit to Kismet and if you engage a Promoted Provider, you consent to the benefit to Kismet.
Before acting on the information provided on the Platform, you should evaluate your or the relevant User's/person's individual needs, objectives and situation and which products and services are suitable, and if necessary, seek independent medical or other advice before making a decision to acquire or purchase.
Kismet does not review or moderate Providers.

The User agrees that the Platform and its content do not constitute medical, healthcare or other professional advice, diagnosis or recommendation of treatment and are not intended to, nor should they be used to, replace professional medical advice.

Information provided by a Provider has not been reviewed or verified by Kismet. Kismet does not endorse, support or confirm the quality or appropriateness of the Providers listed. Any information contained in a Provider profile is not intended to replace consultation with a qualified professional and/or the Provider itself. Please conduct your own due diligence, research and seek appropriate and relevant independent advice prior to engaging a Provider.
