Within 10 business days following the receipt of your refund request we will either provide a refund or a justification for refusing the refund.

We will notify you of such suspension and the reasons for it prior to such suspension where possible, or at the latest immediately thereafter. You can contact us in relation to your suspension using the contact information detailed in section 15. We will not notify you of the suspension if this would compromise objectively justified security reasons or is prohibited by prevailing laws and regulations. We will reactivate your use of the Wallet once the reasons for suspension no longer exist.

6. Auto-refill Uber Money

6.1. Uber Payments may offer you the option to make automatic top-ups of your Uber Money from time to time (“auto-refill”). Auto-refill is only available where you have added an eligible Loading Method for your Wallet. You may opt to have one of these Loading Methods automatically charged by an agreed auto-refill threshold whenever your Uber Money drops to a specified minimum threshold as determined by us. If for example your Uber Money is denominated in euro, you could choose an auto-refill amount of 50 euro at a threshold of 20 euro.

6.2. By choosing auto-refill, you authorize Uber Payments on a continuing basis to charge an eligible Loading Method selected by you for payment transactions for the relevant auto-refill amounts. You can choose to turn off the auto-refill feature any time before the next charge. The selected auto-refill amount and threshold will continue to apply until you turn it off.

6.3. If the auto-refill is somehow reversed and you have already spent the Uber Money associated with the reversed auto-refill, you will owe Uber Payments the amount of the reversed auto-refill and you will be required to pay the reversed auto-refill amount through another Loading Method. In case of such a reversal, we may suspend the use of Uber Money by you.

7. Redemption

You may redeem the value of your Uber Money in whole or in part at any time. Uber Money can only be redeemed through the same Loading Method you used to load your Uber Money or, where made available by us, a transfer to your bank account. Uber Money cannot be redeemed for cash. We may request you to provide us with certain information in order to process your redemption request. We will not charge any fees for a redemption.

8. Customer identification, fraud identification and anti-money laundering

8.1. In order to ensure your security, prevent fraud or identity theft and comply with anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing laws and regulations (as applicable), we will request information from you at the time of loading your first Uber Money to confirm your identity, to allow you to open and maintain a Wallet and to use Uber Money. We may also request additional information or documents to verify your information from time to time.

8.2. We may delay, suspend or block your access to and use of Uber Money until you comply with these information requests or other verification steps that may be required by Uber Payments at any time.

8.3. Uber Payments may, from time to time, be required to undertake financial crime screening to comply with applicable laws or regulations. You agree to assist Uber Payments and cooperate with any requests for information in this respect.

9. Authentication & security

9.1. We may require you to provide us with personalised security credentials, such as passwords, PIN codes, access codes (for example confirmation codes provided through Uber’s mobile applications and/or website or via SMS) or by using on-device biometric verification methods. Such personalised security credentials will be used to authenticate any instruction you give us through Uber’s mobile applications and/or website relating to your use of Uber Money. This will help us ensure that it is you who is accessing your Wallet and Uber Money.

9.2. You agree to take all reasonable steps to keep your personalised security credentials safe. This means that you must use your personalised security credentials with care and keep them secret. This for example means that (i) you should not write down or save these credentials, (ii) if you can choose a security code yourself, you make sure it is not easy to guess, (iii) you should make sure no-one can watch while you are entering a personalised security credential, (iv) you must never share a security code, whether via phone, e-mail or otherwise.

This for example means that you (i) make sure that the software used on your device is up to date and legal, (ii) use a password to safeguard access to the device, (iii) make sure your Uber registration cannot be used by any unauthorised parties, and (iv) log out when you are finished using your Uber registration.

10. Liability for unauthorised transactions

10.1. You agree to notify us immediately through the in-App user support system upon becoming aware of any fraudulent activity or theft or unauthorised use of or a payment transaction involving your Uber Money (an “unauthorised transaction”). Notifications may be made free of charge. You are still responsible for informing your financial institution or payment services provider of any fraud related to your payment card or Loading Method.

10.2. You are not liable for any unauthorised transactions, except where you have acted fraudulently or where you intently or grossly negligently (i) acted in breach with the Uber Money Terms, (ii) failed to notify us in accordance with section 10.1, or (iii) failed to act in accordance with sections 9.2 and 9.3. In those cases, you will bear the losses relating to any unauthorised payment transactions except where a court of law determines otherwise. You are not liable for unauthorised transactions which occurred after you notified us in accordance with section 10.1, except where you have acted fraudulently.

10.3. We will immediately refund you the amount of an unauthorised transaction provided you notify us without undue delay on becoming aware of such transaction and no later than 13 months after the transaction date. This does not apply if we have reasonable grounds for suspecting fraud. If the transaction disputed by you was in fact properly authorised, we may choose to reverse the refund from your Uber Money accordingly.

11. Liability for non-executed or defectively executed transactions

Uber Payments is liable to you for payment transactions using Uber Money which it did not execute or defectively executed. Its liability to you for such transactions is limited to the amount of the relevant transaction. We are not liable for any indirect or consequential damages you incur.

12. Liability in cases of abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances

b. if the change benefits you, for example when introducing new products or services, or improving existing ones;

c. o reflect a change in our costs of running your Uber registration or providing you with related services, for example by introducing an account or transaction fee;

d. in response to possible risks to the security of your Uber registration, for example by changing the security steps you need to follow to access your e-money or make a payment with it; or

e. to respond to any other change that affects us, if it’s fair to pass on the effects of the change to you, for example to reflect developments in digital payments;

13.2. We will notify you at least two months prior to such amendments entering into effect. The amended Uber Money Terms will apply to you unless you inform us you do not accept them in which case you may terminate the Uber Money Terms free of charge before the amendments come into effect.
