Platform Terms & Legal Disclaimer

This Platform Terms & Legal Disclaimer (“Disclaimer”) governs the use of the GOYIN mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”) operated by GOYIN Logistics Ltd (“GOYIN”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).

By accessing or using the GOYIN Platform, you acknowledge and agree to the terms set out in this Disclaimer.

1. Technology platform

GOYIN operates as a technology platform that connects Users with independent Drivers who provide transportation or delivery services.

GOYIN does not own, operate, or control vehicles used by Drivers and does not directly provide transportation services.

Drivers who use the Platform are independent service providers and are not employees, agents, or representatives of GOYIN.

2. Independent contractor relationship

All Drivers using the GOYIN Platform operate as independent contractors.

Nothing in the GOYIN Platform, policies, or agreements shall be interpreted as creating:

  • an employer–employee relationship
  • a partnership or joint venture
  • an agency relationship between GOYIN and Drivers

Drivers are solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws, licenses, insurance requirements, and vehicle regulations.

3. Service availability

GOYIN does not guarantee that transportation services will always be available.

The availability of Drivers depends on factors including:

  • driver activity in a particular location
  • demand for rides
  • weather conditions
  • traffic conditions
  • technical availability of the Platform

GOYIN reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Platform at any time.

9. Platform abuse

GOYIN reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that engage in:
