GENERAL
1 Overview

1.2 You must read carefully and agree to the Terms prior to accessing and using Uber’s App(s)/Website(s) Services or Uber Products. These Terms expressly supersede prior agreements or arrangements about the App(s)/Websites Services (as defined below) and Uber Products between you and Uber.
1.3 These Terms apply to the extent they do not conflict with any user and supplemental terms that specifically apply to Uber's App(s)/Website(s) Services and Uber Products. You will be asked to agree to any such terms separately.
1.4 By using Uber's App(s)/Website(s) Services, you confirm you accept these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use Uber’s App(s)/Website(s) Services. We recommend that you keep a copy of these terms for future reference.
1.5 If we have to contact you, we will do so by push notification from Uber's mobile application, phone call, text message or email, using the details you provided to us on registration for Uber's mobile application. When we use the words "writing" or "written" in these terms, this includes emails, texts and push notifications.
1.6 Unless otherwise agreed separately in writing, the App(s)/Website(s) Services and Uber Products are made available to you for your personal non-commercial use in the United Kingdom only.
2 Uber Provided Services
2.1 The specific terms governing Uber Provided Services, other than Uber Transportation Services, may be set out in additional terms or a separate agreement. For Uber Provided Services, Uber is the service provider contracting directly with you.
2.2 Uber is free to decide to accept or reject a request. Acceptance is communicated to you through Uber’s mobile applications and/or websites and the related terms or agreement will set out when a direct contract forms between you and Uber.
3 Third Party Services
3.1 For Third Party Services, Uber acts as a disclosed agent between you and the Third Party Providers to enable them to provide the Third Party Services to you. Uber does not provide Third Party Services. All Third Party Providers are independent third party contractors, registered businesses or other legal entities who are not employed by or acting on behalf of Uber.
3.2 When you are logged in, online and in the service area of a Third Party Provider, you will be given information in Uber’s mobile applications and/or websites about the Third Party Services before you decide to make a request.
3.3 Third Party Providers are free to decide to accept, reject or ignore a request. Acceptance is communicated to you through Uber’s mobile applications and/or websites and will give rise to a direct contract between you and the Third Party Provider (for Third Party Services).
3.4 You may be asked to rate the Third Party Provider whose services you requested. The Third Party Provider may also be able to give you a rating. Although your rating by itself will not make you lose access to Uber’s App(s)/Website(s) Services, Third Party Providers may see your rating in Uber’s mobile applications and/or websites and this rating may affect whether or not they decide to provide Third Party Services to you.
3.5 The Third Party Provider is responsible for any obligations that may arise from the provision of the Third Party Services.
4 Privacy Notice
4.1 Uber collects, uses and discloses information from or about you as described in Uber’s Privacy Notice. Additional privacy notices may apply, including from third party controllers, for Uber Provided Services or Third Party Services. We will notify you when such notices apply to you.

5.1.2 Depending on the Uber Provided Service or Third Party Service used, including, but not limited to, its location, the charges may be displayed on Uber’s mobile applications and/or websites before a request is placed.

Please be aware that the final amount charged to you may be different from the estimate.
5.1.3 You may be charged supplementary charges, costs and/or fines, for your use or misuse of Uber Provided Services and/or Third Party Services (such as repair or cleaning fees).

5.5 Unless otherwise agreed, all charges are due immediately upon a request being placed and payment will be facilitated by Uber using the preferred payment method associated with your account, after which Uber will send you a receipt by email. If your primary payment method is not able to be charged, Uber may use a secondary payment method if available. If your payment method(s) are unavailable, we reserve the right to continue to try to take payment.
5.6 Charges are inclusive of applicable taxes including VAT unless specifically stated otherwise.
6 Cancellation

6.2 Uber may refuse requests and cancel the Third Party Services or Uber Provided Services if there is reasonable doubt about the correctness or authenticity of the request or about the contact information. In this case too, a cancellation fee may be charged. We may also end any contract in place between you and Uber.

20.2 The Community Guidelines form part of your Contract with Uber UK.

UBER EATS UK
DELIVERY SERVICES AGREEMENT
Thank you for choosing Uber Eats.
Starting on 4th April 2022, we have made some changes to the way delivery works in the UK.
This Delivery Services Agreement (the "Terms") sets forth relevant terms and conditions governing the provision of Delivery Services for items ordered via Uber Eats, and your relationship with Uber Eats UK Limited ("Uber Eats UK") where you request it to provide Delivery Services as described below. You can contact us by using the Help section of the Uber Eats App, or at First Floor, Aldgate Tower, 2 Leman Street, London, United Kingdom, E1 8FA (legal-contracts-bv@uber.com).
In order to request Delivery Services in the UK for the first time on or after 4th April 2022, all Uber Eats users must accept these Terms. By requesting Delivery Services, you confirm that you accept these Terms. These Terms will apply to all subsequent orders you place for Delivery Services.
You will be notified about any changes to the Terms by e-mail and a new version will be made available online. When accessing or using the Delivery Services, you consent to be bound by the Terms, as amended, at the time you use the Delivery Services.
These Terms are additional to the terms you have entered into in relation to your use of Uber's app/website services ("User Terms"). For the purpose of the User Terms, the Uber entity you have contracted with for Uber Delivery (as defined below) is Uber Eats UK.
These Terms will apply to your use of Uber Eats via any means (including orders placed on the Uber Eats App, the Uber Rides App or on ubereats.com), when we use the term “Uber Eats App” in these Terms, that term includes any App or website on which you order via Uber Eats.
1 Use of the Uber Eats App
1.1 To use the Uber Eats App to order food, beverages, or other items ("Items") from restaurants or other businesses ("Merchants"), you must first register for and maintain an active personal user services account in accordance with the User Terms ("Uber Account").
1.2 With regards to the registration for an Uber Account, the use of the Uber Eats and your Uber Account, the User Terms shall be solely applicable.
1.3 Uber Eats UK (or one of its affiliates) may decide according to its reasonable business discretion whether or not to accept your registration for an Uber Account. Once your registration has been accepted, you will be provided access to the Uber Eats App and Uber Eats.
2 Use of the Delivery Services
2.1 Once you have been provided access to the Uber Eats App, you may place orders for Items. Please note, the description of the Items available on the Uber Eats App is based on the information provided by the relevant Merchant. You may request that Items be delivered ("Delivery Services").
2.2 Your Items may be delivered either by Uber Eats UK (“Uber Delivery”) or by the Merchant (“Merchant Delivery") depending on the Merchant you have selected.
2.3 In the case of an Uber Delivery, you will contract with and be charged by Uber Eats UK for the Delivery Services. Uber Eats UK will request an independent contractor (a “Delivery Partner”) to collect Items from the Merchant and deliver such items to you on Uber Eats UK’s behalf.
2.4 In the case of a Merchant Delivery, you will contract with and be charged by the Merchant for the Delivery Services. The Delivery Services will be performed by employees, contractors, workers or agents of the Merchant who provide Delivery Services on a Merchant’s behalf, not arranged by Uber Eats UK.
2.5 In other cases, such as a Pickup order, you may place orders for Items via the Uber Eats App which do not require the use of Delivery Services.
2.6 Uber Delivery is an Uber Provided Service, as referred to in the User Terms.
2.7 In the case of an Uber Delivery, Uber Eats UK will endeavour to ensure that your Items will be delivered to you as soon as reasonably possible. We will give you an estimated range of how long the delivery will take before you place the order. Unfortunately, independent factors such as traffic and weather, as well as the actions or inactions of Merchants or Delivery Partners may cause delays in the provision of Delivery Services. Uber Eats UK reserves the right to refuse to accept and/or complete an Uber Delivery if the delivery point is a school.
2.8 Delivery Services are offered in designated regional areas as communicated via the Uber Eats App from time to time (“Delivery Service Area”). Uber does not guarantee that the Delivery Services will be available in the Delivery Service Area at all times.
2.9 You and Uber Eats UK may terminate these Terms or the Delivery Services if the other party violates the provisions of these Terms. Subject to clause 2.10, you can terminate these Terms by writing to us or by no longer requesting Delivery Services. Uber may suspend all or part of the Delivery Services, and otherwise, operate or discontinue the Delivery Services.
2.10 You may cancel your order until the Merchant has accepted your order. Once the the Merchant has accepted your order, you will no longer be able to cancel and you will be charged full price for your ordered Items. If you cancel your order after the delivery has begun, you will also be charged full price for Delivery Services.
2.11 If either an Uber Delivery or Merchant Delivery fails for reasons attributed to you (for example, you were not available when your Items were delivered to you) you may be charged full price for both Items and Delivery Services.
2.12 If Uber Eats UK cancels the Delivery Services for any reason not attributed to you, you will be entitled to a refund for any Fees paid.
3 Payment for the Delivery Services
3.1 The price of the Delivery Services (the “Fees”) will be determined based on the price shown in the Uber Eats App before you place your order for Delivery Services. All fees are in pounds sterling and include VAT.
3.2 You shall pay any Fees for Delivery Services via one of the payment options (which will always include credit or debit card) as offered by Uber Eats UK from time to time. When you place an order for Items, Uber Eats UK may need to verify your payment method by issuing a temporary authorisation hold from your bank. When your order has been completed, if you think a payment is incorrect, please contact us promptly to let us know.
3.3 If you are unhappy with an Uber Delivery, your sole recourse will be with Uber Eats UK. Uber Eats UK will provide refunds for a substandard Uber Delivery at its sole discretion.
3.4 Without prejudice to any separate right to suspend your Uber Account, insofar as a fee payment cannot be honoured because of insufficient funds, Uber Eats UK shall be entitled to suspend your access to Delivery Services by blocking the Uber Eats App until your selected payment method is effecting payments.
