23.1. Scope of Service/ Use and Purpose

KaCyber is an online marketplace. KaCyber is a platform that connects transport operators to travellers. At the moment, KaCyber does not directly provide transportation services.
KaCyber allows the User to surf the Website or purchase travel tickets for yourself or others.

KaCyber is an online Marketplace, which gives prospective travellers and transport operators a platform to connect. KaCyber states the following:

  1. The Website is a marketplace, which merely lists the inventory of transport operators who are subscribed/registered with the Website, but does not own the services per se. Hence, the limited role of the Website is to connect You with the transport operator and vice versa.
  2. You understand and agree that the fare of the tickets listed and/or offered for sale by the transport operator on the Website, is solely determined by the respective transport operator, and KaCyber has no control over the fare of the tickets listed on the Website. In the event, the minimum and/or the maximum fare of the tickets, is in contravention of any law and/or any order or judgment of any regulatory authority/Tribunal/Court, it shall be the sole responsibility of the respective transport operator to ensure that such fare is in compliance with the law/order/judgment, and KaCyber shall in no way be liable for such contravention of the law/order/judgment.
  3. In light of the foregoing, you agree that any liability in relation to any services being offered on the Website in accordance with the applicable laws shall be that of the transport operator and not KaCyber. In case of any deficiency of service, you agree to pursue any such action arising from such deficiency of service against the transport operator and not the KaCyber.
