Terms and Conditions

  1. The “Kindle Referral Campaign” promotion (the “Promotion”) is open to all UK residents aged 18 years or over who have the Uber app, except employees of the Promoter, their families, agents or any third party directly associated with administration of the Promotion. Proof of age and/or identity and/or residency may be required. Entry into the Promotion is free.
  2. To take part in the Promotion, you must have a smartphone with GPS capability, have downloaded the Uber app, registered and have active internet connection. No purchase necessary. The terms and conditions at https://www.uber.com/legal/gbr/terms/ continue to apply to the extent applicable to this Promotion.
  3. To take part in the Promotion you must invite someone you know to register an Uber user account using the invite code provided to you in the Promotion messaging received by you (a “Referral”).
  4. There is no limit to the number of friends that you can refer. For each Referral you invite who signs up to Uber during the Promotion Period and takes their first trip on the Uber platform before 9 December 2016, you will receive an email containing a unique link (a “Code”) which will enable you to redeem one of the seven qualifying Kindle eBooks (worth up to £7 as at 9 August 2016) for free. The seven qualifying Kindle eBooks are: (1) Never Look Back by Clare Donoghue: (2) Only Time Will Tell by Jeffrey Archer; (3) The Seven Sisters by Lucinda Riley; (4) Summer Without You by Karen Swan; (5) The Men Who Stare at Goats by Jon Ronson; (6) How to Stay Sane by School of Life; and (7) The Necessary Death of Lewis Winter by Malcolm Mackay (each a “Reward”). To redeem the Code, you must: (i) follow the instructions provided in the Promotion messaging; (ii) have or create an Amazon account; and (ii) choose one (1) of the Rewards, in each case within four (4) months of the end of the Promotion Period.
  5. Each Referral will get up to £10 off their first trip using the Uber service and, once your referred friend has taken their ride, you will get up to £10 back into your Uber account, which will be automatically discounted from your next trip (the “Discounted Rides”). The discount of up to £10 applies to one trip only and cannot be rolled over. The code is not valid for use on the UberTAXI product.
  6. The opening date of the Promotion, and the time when the counting of Referrals will start, begins at 12.01am on 9 August 2016 and ends at 11.59pm on 9th September 2016 (the “Promotion Period”). Referrals received after this time will not be counted.

  8. The Promoter assumes no responsibility for any typographical or other error in the administration or delivery of the Promotion, the Reward or the Discounted Rides, or errors in the foregoing.
  9. The Promoter reserves the right to replace a Reward or a Discounted Ride (or any part of them) with an alternative reward or offer of equal or higher value if circumstances beyond the Promoter’s control make it necessary to do so.
