Uber Copyright Policy
Notification of Copyright Infringement
Uber Technologies, Inc. ("Uber") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same.
It is Uber’s policy, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe or are repeatedly charged with infringing the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others.
In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 and in recognition of various international copyright laws, Uber will respond expeditiously to notices sent to Uber’s Designated Copyright Agent (identified below) regarding alleged third-party copyright infringements on the Uber website or other Uber-owned and publicly accessible digital properties (the "Site(s)").
A copyright owner, person authorized to act on behalf of one, or person authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright may submit allegations of copyright infringements on the Site(s) by completing the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering it to Uber’s Designated Copyright Agent. Upon receipt of this Notice, Uber will expeditiously remove or block access to the allegedly infringing content, notify the alleged third-party infringer of the same, and provide the third-party an opportunity to submit a counter-notice to dispute the alleged infringement. If a counter-notice is submitted, Uber will promptly forward it to the complainant and restore the removed or blocked content within 10-14 business days, unless the complainant submits evidence that it has filed a lawsuit against the alleged third-party infringer regarding the allegedly infringing content.
