All entries must be received no later than the end of the Sweepstakes Period to be considered. Multiple Entrants are not permitted to share the same email address or Uber Eats account.  Any entries that constitute unlawful behavior will be disqualified from the Sweepstakes.

Any attempt by any entrant to obtain more than the stated number of entries by using multiple/different email addresses, accounts, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that entrant’s entries and that entrant may be disqualified.  Use of any automated system to participate is prohibited and will result in disqualification.  In the event of a dispute as to any entrant, the authorized account holder of the email address associated with the courier account on the entry will be deemed to be the entrant.  The “authorized account holder” is the natural person assigned an email address by an Internet access provider, online service provider or other organization responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the entry.  Each potential winner may be required to show proof of being the authorized account holder.  Uber will make the final determination of identity of entrants in its sole discretion.

Uber is not responsible for the products or services provided by third parties.  Winners are solely responsible for all incidental expenses, including ground transportation, accommodations, meals, tips and gratuities, taxes and fees associated with the receipt and/or use of a Prize. Uber and any participating Sweepstakes Entity reserve the right to remove or to deny entry to any event or component of a Prize if, in Uber’s sole discretion, a Winner’s behavior or the behavior of such individual’s guest(s) is disruptive, belligerent, abusive, intended to annoy, threaten or harass any other person at the venue, event or performance. Under such circumstances, the individual (and/or guest) may be asked to leave and may forfeit all remaining portions of the Prize. Any passes associated with a Prize must be used on the date specified by Uber. Passes are subject to certain terms and conditions as specified thereon. Resale of Passes is prohibited.  In the event that the concert or any related event associated with the Prize does not occur, Uber reserves the right to cancel and the Winners may not receive any Prize.

If for any reason the Prize is unavailable or a Prize or related event, is not held, or performance is delayed, canceled or postponed, or for any other reason, Uber reserves the right to modify the Sweepstakes in its sole discretion and may award a substitute prize, or portion of prize, of comparable or greater value as set forth in these Official Rules. No substitution, assignment, transfer, or cash equivalent of the Prize is permitted, except by Uber, who has the right to substitute a Prize with another of comparable or greater value.   Uber or any Sweepstakes Entity shall have no responsibility or obligation to a Winner who is unable to, or who does not for any reason, accept or utilize a Prize or any portion thereof. Winners agree to comply with any additional terms and conditions applicable to the Prize.  The Prize is provided “as is”; Entrants acknowledge that Uber has neither made nor is in any manner responsible or liable for any warranty, representation or guarantee, express or implied, in fact or in law, relative to the Prize, including any implied warranty of merchantability of fitness for a particular purpose.  Any prizes pictured in advertising and other Sweepstakes materials are for illustrative purposes only. Uber or their designee shall fulfill the Prize to the Winners. Winners may be required to be physically present and/or must present valid government-issued photo identification to redeem the Prize.

THE VALUE OF THE PRIZE WILL BE TAXABLE TO THE WINNER AS INCOME.  All U.S. federal, state and local tax liability, and any other costs and expenses associated with acceptance or use of the prize not specifically provided for in these Official Rules are solely the responsibility of each Winner (regardless of whether the prize, in whole or in part, is used). 

Note: Winners and their guests must familiarize themselves and agree to abide by all local, state, federal and any other applicable COVID-19 protocols, laws and regulations.  Winners shall be solely responsible for any costs or other consequences, including being barred from attending the event, resulting from failing to comply. Additionally, Winners and their guests irrevocably waive all claims against the Sweepstakes Entities and agrees that the Sweepstakes Entities will have no liability or responsibility for any claim arising in connection with participation in this Sweepstakes, the Prize provided, personal injury, or wrongful death, a potentially heightened risk of exposure to communicable diseases, viruses, bacteria or illnesses (including, without limitation, COVID-19) and the causes thereof, and sickness arising as a result of a Winner participating in the Sweepstakes and related activities, wherever, whenever or however the same may occur.  Winners fully understand that (a) the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and any resulting disease (together with any mutation, adaptation or variation thereof, “COVID-19”) is extremely contagious and there is an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 in any place where people are or have been present; (b) no precautions, including the protocols that will be implemented from time to time by any/all travel providers or those providing accommodations (collectively, the “Protocols”), can eliminate the risk of exposure to COVID-19; (c) while people of all ages and health conditions have been adversely affected by COVID-19, certain people have been identified by public health authorities as having greater risk based on age and/or underlying medical conditions; and (d) exposure to COVID-19 can result in being subject to quarantine requirements, illness, disability, other short-term and long-term health effects, and/or death, regardless of age or health condition.

5. Winner Selection and Notification:  Three-hundred (300) potential winners will be selected in a random drawing by Uber from all eligible entries received throughout the Sweepstakes Period, with Thirty-six (36) potential winners being randomly selected from each of the four (4) participating metropolitan areas. Limit of one (1) prize per potential winner for the entire Sweepstakes Period. The potential winners will be notified by phone or email (at the phone number or email provided with the entry or associated with each potential winner’s driver account), and may be required to confirm his/her email address and/or phone number. Details will follow via email. Odds of winning the Sweepstakes depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Sweepstakes Period. 

Uber shall have no liability for any winner notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a potential winner for any reason.  If a potential winner cannot be reached after a reasonable effort has been exerted and/or fails to respond, provide any requested information, or confirm his/her email address within forty-eight (48) hours (or such other time specified by Uber) from when the initial notification phone call or email is sent, or if the prize or prize notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential winner, such potential winner forfeits the Prize, and an alternate potential winner may be selected. Uber, in its sole discretion and time permitting, will attempt to contact up to three (3) potential winners of each Prize in accordance with the above procedure, after which the prize in question may go unawarded if it remains unclaimed. If any potential prize winner is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Official Rules or declines the prize for any reason prior to award, such potential prize winner will be disqualified and an alternate potential winner may be selected.  

6. Winner Verification:  Potential winners may be required to prove eligibility, including, without limitation, proof of age, residence, and identity, which may include submitting a copy of a driver’s license, passport or similar government issued identification within forty-eight (48) hours after being notified of being a potential winner.

Potential winners may be required to complete and sign an Affidavit of Eligibility, release of liability, publicity release form (except where prohibited), and the eligibility of the potential winner will be verified.  Forms must be returned within forty-eight (48) hours (or another time designated by Uber) of receipt by the potential winner.  If any potential winner does not complete all forms necessary within the time given and/or in the event of non-compliance by any potential winner, such potential winner shall be disqualified and shall forfeit the prize, and all privileges otherwise due as a potential winner shall be terminated and an alternate potential winner may be selected in a random drawing from among all of the remaining eligible entries.

Provided that each potential winner is in compliance with the Official Rules and after having successfully proven eligibility, they will be officially confirmed as Winners.  Uber expressly reserves the right to delay the announcement of the Winners for any reason it deems necessary. By entering or accepting any Prize, Winners allow Uber to use the Winner’s entry, name, photograph, likeness, voice, opinions, Prize information, biographical information, hometown and state for publicity and promotional purposes without further compensation where permitted by law.  Except where prohibited, participation in the Sweepstakes constitutes an Entrant’s consent to Uber’s use of Entrant’s entry, name, likeness, voice, opinions, biographical information, hometown and state for promotional purposes in any media without further payment or consideration.  

Additionally, Uber and the Sweepstakes Entities reserve the right to make a public announcement, announcing the Winners on either the Uber or Uber Eats website, through the Uber or Uber Eats App, or in any manner (including, without limitation, social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter)), which they deem appropriate.

7. Conditions of Participation.  By submitting an entry for this Sweepstakes, you agree to abide by these rules and any decision Uber makes regarding this Sweepstakes, which Uber shall make in its sole discretion.  Uber reserves the right to disqualify and prosecute to the fullest extent permitted by law any entrant or Winner who, in Uber’s reasonable suspicion, tampers with Uber or any Uber partner site, the entry process, intentionally submits more than a single entry, violates these rules, or acts in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner.
