(iii) the parties agree that, if your customer pays for Items (and, if you choose the Self-Delivery Option, any Self-Delivery Fees, Additional Self-Delivery Fees and tips) using stored Uber funds arising from the redemption of an Uber Gift Card or Uber Voucher in the Uber Eats App, then a supply of goods and services occurs at the time of payment for those Items (and, if you choose the Self-Delivery Option, any Self-Delivery Fees, Additional Self-Delivery Fees and tips) for the purposes of section 5(11G) of the GST Law.
