Senior Account Terms of Use
By accepting the invite to create a Senior Account as part of an Uber Family profile, you acknowledge and agree to these Senior Account Terms of Use, governing your use of the Services. You confirm that you are of legal age and have the mental and legal capacity to enter into this agreement and delegate the rights described herein. You agree to grant an individual authority to assist with managing your Senior Account ("Family Organiser") within the Uber Family profile. This assistance may include managing payment information, requesting trips, managing addresses ("Saved Places") and communicating with Uber Support on your behalf. You acknowledge and understand that you may only modify or revoke the permissions granted to the Family Organiser by leaving the Uber Family profile. If you require assistance doing so, you may contact Uber Support. Your Family Organiser has also agreed to these Senior Account Terms of Use.
You agree that Uber may contact you or your Family Organiser through the Uber app, by phone or email or via other reasonable means regarding your use of the Services, including regarding issues and incidents reported by you, your Family Organiser, drivers or others. You acknowledge that Uber may contact you without your Family Organiser being present. You further understand and agree that information either you or your Family Organiser provide to Uber in connection with using your Senior Account for Services may be shared with each other.
You and your Family Organiser are jointly responsible for ensuring that the Senior Account is used solely for authorised purposes. This includes financial responsibility: You will be responsible for all payments, purchases and transactions made using the payment method, even those initiated by your Family Organiser. Uber's responsibility is limited to providing the Services, and we are not responsible for any misuse of funds by the Family Organiser beyond their authorised permissions. Any financial disputes related to transactions must be resolved directly between you and your Family Organiser. You understand that Uber does not mediate disputes between Senior users and Family Organisers, and Uber disclaims all liability for unauthorised or unintended use of your payment method, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Authority of the Family Organiser
You acknowledge and consent to your Family Organiser having the authority to take the following actions with respect to your Senior Account:
- Request trips on your behalf, which will be charged to the payment method that you delegated to them. Once requested, they can also change or cancel trips on your behalf.
- Access your account's registered phone number and trip details for all past and present trips. This includes your real-time trip location details and receipts for these past trips.
- View, create, edit and delete any of your Saved Places. You will be notified when Saved Places are modified or deleted.
- Communicate with drivers concerning your trips, including communications with the driver regarding trips they have requested for you.
- Act on your behalf in safety incidents, including reporting issues and contacting emergency services.
You acknowledge and accept that you may only modify or revoke the Family Organiser's permissions by leaving the Uber Family profile. If you require assistance doing so, contact Uber Support.
Limitations of the Family Organiser
- Your Family Organiser should not use your payment method to request travel for themselves.
- Use of a payment method by your Family Organiser is subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant payment method provider. You are responsible for complying with such terms and conditions and assume all risks related to delegating use of such payment method.
You and your Family Organiser are both responsible for ensuring that the account is used only for authorised purposes. If Uber becomes aware of misuse, including unauthorised trip requests, we may limit or revoke access to the family profile.
You acknowledge that your acceptance of these Terms constitutes consent to the permissions and authority granted to the Family Organiser as described in these Terms.
Your local jurisdiction may have laws and regulations governing when, where or how you may use the Uber app and Services. You understand that you and your Family Organiser are responsible for knowing and obeying all laws or regulations that could impact your use of your Senior Account and the Uber app. Your local jurisdiction may also have laws and regulations governing how Uber must respond in the event of an incident involving you or your authorised guests, and you understand that Uber may be required to take certain actions, including mandatory reporting to designated authorities. Uber reserves the right to cooperate with law enforcement or other legal authorities if we believe that any activity related to the Senior Account violates applicable laws or regulations.
Where allowed by local, provincial, state and/or federal law and enabled in the Uber app, Uber may facilitate the use of audio and/or video recording on trips.
You acknowledge the Privacy Notice and understand that it governs our use of your data. You also acknowledge the Community Guidelines and understand that both your Senior Account and your Family Organiser's account may be impacted if you or your Family Organiser fails to adhere to those guidelines. You further understand that the General Terms of Use apply to your use of the Services, and any failure by you to adhere to those requirements may impact both your account and your Family Organiser's account.
Family Organiser Terms of Use (Senior Account)
These terms apply to your use of the Services in connection with an account for an individual aged 65 or older within your Uber Family profile ("Senior Account"). Any terminology in these Senior Account Terms of Use that is not otherwise defined has the meaning specified in the General Terms of Use. These terms are based on the understanding that the Senior Account user has the legal capacity to understand and voluntarily consent to these terms and the permissions granted to the Family Organiser. If there are concerns about the Senior Account user's capacity to provide such consent, other legal arrangements such as a power of attorney or guardianship may be necessary.
By agreeing to manage a Senior Account as a Family Organiser, you attest that you are permitted to request and manage Services on behalf of a Senior that has accepted an invitation to join your Uber Family profile ("Senior Account user"). You confirm that you are acting with the full, voluntary consent of the Senior Account user.
