Terms & Conditions
(Applicable for Platform Users in Malaysia)
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Kummute mobile application (“Platform”), operated in Malaysia by Kumpool Sdn. Bhd. (Registration No.: 1493722P / 202201048025) (“we,” “us,” or “our”).
The Platform enables users to discover and connect with Third-Party Service Providers (as defined below) offering cross-border transport services between Malaysia and Singapore, whether from Malaysia to Singapore or from Singapore to Malaysia, performed by licensed transport providers using vehicles registered in Malaysia and holding valid cross-border permits issued by the Agensi Pengangkutan Awam Darat (APAD). We are not a transport service provider and do not own, control, or operate any vehicles. Our role is limited to providing the Platform as a technology-based marketplace that facilitates connections and transactions between passengers and service providers. Third-Party Service Providers are not our employees, agents, partners, or representatives, and they operate entirely in their own name and right. “Third-Party Service Provider(s)” refer to any independent transport operator, driver, fleet, or company that offers cross-border transport services using vehicles registered in Malaysia with valid cross border permits issued by APAD, through or connected by the Platform.
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy available at https://www.kummute.com.my/privacy-policy/. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform.
We may update these Terms from time to time. It is your responsibility to review them periodically. Updates will take effect once posted on the Platform with an updated “Last Updated” date. Continued access to or use of the Platform after such updates constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
