ABOUT THE HUMAN KIND PROJECT

THE HUMAN KIND PROJECT ("HKP," "WE," "US," "OUR," OR "THE OPERATOR") IS AN INDEPENDENTLY OPERATED EXPERIENCE-BASED ORGANIZATION. WE ARE NOT A TRAVEL AGENCY. WE ARE NOT A TOUR OPERATOR IN THE CONVENTIONAL SENSE. WE ORGANIZE AND MANAGE A CURATED HUMAN EXPERIENCE IN KOLKATA (CALCUTTA), INDIA FOR SMALL COHORTS OF CAREFULLY SELECTED INDIVIDUALS.

HKP OPERATES WITH ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT PROVIDED BY SENIOR HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATES, LLC, 1400 112TH AVE SE, SUITE 100, BELLEVUE, WA 98004. HKP AND SENIOR HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATES LLC ARE SEPARATE AND DISTINCT ENTITIES. SENIOR HCA'S INVOLVEMENT IS ADMINISTRATIVE ONLY AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE CLINICAL, MEDICAL, OR THERAPEUTIC OVERSIGHT OF ANY HKP EXPERIENCE.

THESE TERMS GOVERN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HKP IN ITS ENTIRETY.
