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.
