Question 1

What is Kaires?

Accepted Answer

Kaires is smart music curation for your commercial space. Our system — Kai — continuously tunes the background music in your space to the time of day, the weather, footfall and your brand identity. No playlists to manage, no tracks to choose.

Question 2

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

We start with an introduction: together we determine which ambience fits your brand. Then we configure everything — you don't need to install anything. Kai then continuously plays the right music, tuned to the context of the moment.

Question 3

How quickly can I get started?

Accepted Answer

Within a few minutes after the introductory call. We configure everything — you don't have to do a thing.

Question 4

What is the difference between Kaires Lite and Pro?

Accepted Answer

Kaires Lite works via your existing Spotify Premium account. You arrange the Buma/Stemra and Sena licences yourself. Kaires Pro offers royalty-free music — no Spotify, no Buma/Stemra, no Sena. One fixed monthly fee, everything included.

Question 5

Do I need a Spotify account?

Accepted Answer

For Kaires Lite, yes — you need a Spotify Premium account. For Kaires Pro, no — it works with our own royalty-free music catalogue.

Question 6

Is Kaires Pro already available?

Accepted Answer

We're currently developing Kaires Pro. Kaires Lite is available now. Leave your details on our demo page and we'll keep you updated, or schedule a call to discuss your needs.

Question 7

What about Buma/Stemra and Sena?

Accepted Answer

With Kaires Lite you play music via Spotify — for that you need a Buma/Stemra and Sena licence, which you arrange yourself. With Kaires Pro everything is included: the music is royalty-free, so you don't need a separate licence.

Question 8

Is it legal to play music without Buma/Stemra?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Buma/Stemra manages the rights of composers affiliated with them. The music in Kaires Pro does not fall under their management, so there is no basis for a Buma/Stemra licence. The same applies to Sena.

Question 9

Can I use Kaires at multiple locations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each location gets its own profile that Kai tunes to the local context. You manage everything from one dashboard.

Question 10

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Our indicative prices are based on the type of location. Every situation is different, so we tailor the plan in a personal conversation.

Question 11

Can I cancel at any time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel monthly. No long-term contracts, unless you opt for an annual subscription.
