This license includes the right to reproduce, adapt and represent (in connection with all or part of the activities related to this Agreement) the Marks for the entire world, using all means and media, and without any restriction of any kind as regards exploitation methods, number of prints, dissemination or utilisation. All uses of a party’s Marks (owned or licensed, as applicable) by the other party will be in the form and format specified or approved by the party that owns (or is a licensee of, as applicable) such Marks. Other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement, neither party will use the other party’s Marks without the prior, express, written consent of the other party.

Except as expressly set forth herein, neither party will be deemed to grant the other party any license or rights under any intellectual property or other proprietary rights. All rights not granted are expressly reserved. Merchant agrees that it will not, and will ensure that Aggregator Couriers do not, try to register or otherwise use and/or claim ownership in any of the Uber Marks, alone or in combination with other letters, punctuation, words, symbols and/or designs, or in any confusingly similar mark, name or title, for any goods and services.
9. Marketing and Promotional Activities.
a. Marketing. Uber may showcase the availability of Merchant’s Items via the Uber Eats App through various promotional activities including, without limitation, social media channels, websites, advertisements, blogs or other media available now or hereinafter created.

Additionally, if Merchant Merchant Marketing Materials are used in connection with the display of Merchant’s Items on the Uber Eats App, Merchant hereby grants Uber a non-exclusive, royalty free right to use, reproduce, adapt, represent, and display such Merchant Marketing Materials in connection with Merchant’s Items and other promotional activities relating to the Uber Eats Services, for the entire world, during the Term, using all means and media, and without any restriction other than as required by Applicable Law as regards exploitation methods, number of prints, dissemination or utilisation.
b. No Additional Amounts. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that, through advertising and marketing, Uber may seek to attract new merchants to Uber Eats and to increase existing users of the Uber Eats Services and Uber Eats App. Merchant acknowledges and agrees such advertising or marketing does not entitle Merchant to any additional monetary amounts beyond the amounts expressly stated in this Agreement.
c. Merchant Promotional Offers. Uber may authorize Merchant to use certain automated tools that allow Merchant to provide promotional Offers to Customers through the Uber Eats App in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Merchant agrees that it is solely responsible for fulfilling and, subject to technical and functional limitations of the automated tools, defining the Offers provided by Merchant to its Customers.
i. Merchant Promotional Offers. Subject to this Agreement and any other guidelines or eligibility criteria for Offers that Uber may make available from time to time, Uber hereby authorizes Merchant to use Uber’s proprietary, automated tools ("Offer Tools") to create and provide Offers to Customers. Unless otherwise specified by Uber, Merchant will be solely responsible for defining each Offer (within the
scope of functionality provided by the Offer Tools), including, without limitation, the start date, end date, and budget for each Offer. Each Offer will be subject to Uber’s prior written approval. Merchant is responsible for providing to Uber Offer Materials in a format and within deadlines specified by Uber for such to be reproduced for the provision of the Offer to Customers.
ii. Enhanced Promotional Placements. Subject to Uber Eats App functionality, Uber may provide enhanced promotional placement or other visual treatment for the Offers through the start and end date identified by Merchant. Merchant acknowledges that the time period of enhanced promotional placement for an Offer (if applicable) may vary due to a number of factors including Merchant’s budget, the start and end date for an Offer, and other Uber Eats App functionality.
iii. Merchant’s Responsibilities. Merchant will honor and fulfill the terms of the Offer. Merchant represents and warrants that Merchant will run all Offers in accordance with all Applicable Laws which apply to the Offers. Merchant represents and warrants that Merchant possesses all necessary authority, rights, licenses, consents and permissions to run the Offer (including, without limitation, the rights to any Offer Materials provided to Uber). Merchant will not use an Offer to make charitable donations. For free or reduced Delivery Charge Offers, Merchant will be solely responsible for the reduction to the amount that Uber collects from Customers with respect to the Delivery Charge.
iv. Reporting and Offer Costs. Uber will use good faith efforts to provide Merchant with reasonable information regarding Merchant's Offers, which may include, without limitation, the Offer Costs and the number of Items sold in connection with an Offer. Uber, in its sole discretion, may highlight Offers and/or the results of Offer in its own marketing materials.
v. Service Fees. For Items where an Offer has been applied as a discount to the Retail Price of the Item, Uber Ireland will charge Merchant a Service Fee based on the discounted Retail Price and not the full Retail Price. If Merchant's Offer consists of a discount on delivery, the Service Fee will be calculated as described in the Agreement and will not change. Merchant agrees that Merchant is solely responsible for Offer Costs and that Uber Ireland may deduct Offer Costs from Merchant's Item Revenue. If Merchant is paid for an Item, it is responsible for the Service Fee and relevant Offer Costs.
vi. Modification, Suspension, Discontinuation. Uber reserves the right, at any time, temporarily or permanently, in whole or in part, to modify, suspend or discontinue the Offer Tools or the ability for Merchant to provide Offers. Merchant agrees that neither Uber nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable to Merchant (or to any third party) for the Offer or the Offer Tools, including for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Offer or the Offer Tools or providing Merchant with the ability to provide Offers.
d. Ranking. We may use certain parameters to determine how prominently Merchants appear in the Uber Eats App (the “Parameters”). These Parameters are selected to optimise the marketplace experience for all users of the Uber Eats App, including you, Customers and Couriers. The main Parameters used for ranking include the time you have been on the Uber Eats App, customer preferences (evidenced, for example, by previous orders, searches or clicks), cuisine types, promotional offers, contextual factors (for example, the time of day, the day of the week), past ordering experiences (based, for example, on feedback, acceptance of orders and preparation time), availability, pricing, profitability (for Uber), basket size, estimated delivery time, delivery zone and any paid advertising you place on the Uber Eats App. The Parameters are taken into account any time merchants are displayed in the Uber Eats App, including in response to a Customer's search query and in the home feed. You can influence how prominently you appear in the Uber Eats App by making promotional offers, placing paid advertising, and receiving positive feedback from Customers and Couriers. Uber shall provide you with fifteen (15) days’ notice of important changes to the Parameters.
e. Publicity. Except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement or otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, neither party may issue a press release or otherwise refer to the other party in any manner with respect to this Agreement or otherwise, without the prior written consent of such other party.

If the Partner revokes the consent, the Partner will not be able to use any Uber Services and Uber will have to terminate the Agreement.
5. Payment services provided by Uber Payments on behalf of Uber
5.1 Uber Payments enables the Partner to receive payments from the User or another Partner for Services that the Partner provides through an Uber Platform. The Partner therefore agrees that Uber Payments will accept and process payment transactions, including E-money transactions. More specifically, Uber Payments receives any funds due by the User or another Partner (the Partner Charges) or Uber (the Uber Amounts) on behalf of the Partner. Upon receiving the funds, Uber Payments deducts any applicable Fees and pays out the remainder to the Partner (the Pay-out Amount) as set-out in Article 7.
5.2 Uber Payments administers the Pay-out Amount in the name of the Partner. Uber Payments will only transfer the Pay-out Amount to a Partner (Pay-out) if it has received the full amount (including Fees) from a User or another Partner or another payment service provider (and in the event of an Uber Amount, from Uber) for the Services and if such transfer is in accordance with the Agreement and the Payments Terms.
6. Partner Charges and P2P Charges
6.1 On behalf of Uber, Uber Payments will collect the Partner Charges due to the Partner for the Services provided. Any such Partner Charges will be received by the Custodian or, if received by Uber Payments, be transferred to the Custodian as soon as possible. Uber Payments will on behalf of Uber subsequently arrange for Pay-out of the Pay-out Amount to the Partner in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
6.2 Uber Payments will transfer the P2P Charge for the provided Services on behalf of the Partner that owes the P2P Charge to the Partner to which the P2P Charge is due (for which latter Partner Uber Payments receives the P2P Charge as a Partner Charge). Any such transfer of the P2P Charge will be administered by the Custodian.
6.3 Uber Payments will transfer the Pay-out Amount to the Partner in the currency in which the Partner Charge was received by the Custodian.
6.4 Uber Payments will arrange for Pay-out to the bank account as designated by the Partner on the relevant Uber Platform. The Partner may only designate a bank account that is administered in its own name for Pay-out. Any changes of the bank account must be notified to Uber Payments as soon as possible. The Partner represents and warrants that the bank account designated by it on the Uber Platform is a bank account administered in its own name.
6.5 The Partner authorizes Uber Payments to use the Partner Charges (including for the avoidance of doubt, the P2P Charge) to satisfy all claims of Uber or third parties vis-à-vis the Partner under or pursuant to the Agreement and/or the Payments Terms. Uber Payments is authorized to deduct the amount of such claims from the Partner Charges and transfer such amounts to Uber and itself. Uber Payments shall in this respect be entitled to solely rely on the information it receives from Uber as binding evidence of such amounts due by the Partner. The Partner may provide evidence to the contrary.
7. Pay-out
7.1 Uber, Uber Payments and the Partner can agree that Pay-out takes place on a specific incidental or recurring date. Such agreement constitutes an instruction for Pay-out. Such instruction for Pay-out will be regarded as having been received by Uber Payments on the moment that the Partner indicates on the relevant Uber Platform that it wishes to receive Pay-out and the agreement to that instruction has been confirmed by Uber on its behalf and on behalf of Uber Payments.
7.2 Any instruction for Pay-out received by (or on behalf of) Uber Payments (a) on a day that is not a Business Day or (b) after 17:00 Amsterdam time on a Business Day will be regarded as having been received on the next Business Day.
7.3 If Pay-out takes place in euros, Uber Payments will ensure that the account of the bank holding such account is credited with the Pay-out amount no later than on the end of the first Business Day immediately following the receipt of the instruction for Pay-out in accordance with these Payments Terms.
7.4 If Pay-out takes place in a currency of an EEA country, but other than euros, Uber Payments will ensure that the account of the bank holding such account is credited with the Pay-out amount no later than the end of the fourth Business Day following the receipt of the instruction for Pay-out in accordance with these Payments Terms.
7.5 In all circumstances other than as described in Articles 7.3 and 7.4, Uber Payments will ensure that Pay-out takes place within a reasonable term.
7.6 Uber Payments will make the Pay-out Amount available for Pay-out to the Partner as soon as the amount has been credited to the Custodian's bank account.
8. Refusal and limitations on Pay-out
8.1 Uber Payments may at any time (at its own discretion) decide not to pay-out any Pay-out Amount to a Partner if:
● an attachment has been levied under Uber Payments and/or the Custodian in respect of the Partner; ● Transferring such an amount would conflict with the law or other applicable national or international regulations, relevant guidance or instructions from a competent regulator or a binding judicial order or verdict; ● Uber Payments considers it reasonable and necessary not to the pay-out such amount, for example because that would conflict with its internal policies or applicable procedures;
● The Partner acts in violation of the Agreement or the PaymentsTerms;
● Uber or Uber Payments has a suspicion of fraud by the Partner.
8.2 For compliance or operational reasons, Uber Payments may limit the amount of each individual Pay-out. If the total amount owed to a Partner is at any time higher than the limit determined by Uber Payments in accordance with the previous sentence, Uber Payments may initiate a series of Pay-outs in one day or on subsequent days.
8.3 If Uber Payments refuses Pay-out, Uber or Uber Payments will notify the Partner as soon as possible of the reasons for this refusal and of the procedure for correcting any factual errors that led to the refusal, and no later than the end of the periods indicated in Articles 7.3 - 7.5, as applicable. Any such notification will be made through the Uber Platforms. Uber and Uber Payments shall not be required to notify the Partner if such notification is prohibited by the laws applicable to it or is prohibited by a competent court or regulator.
8.4 Uber Payments may limit or temporarily or permanently suspend a Partner's access to the Payment Services (i) to comply with applicable law, or the order or request of a court, law enforcement, a regulator or other administrative agency or governmental body, or if (ii) a Partner has breached the Payments Terms, the Agreement, applicable laws, regulations or third-party rights, (iii) a Partner has provided inaccurate, fraudulent, outdated, or incomplete information under the Payments Terms or the Agreement, or (iv) Uber Payments believes in good faith that such action is reasonably necessary to protect the personal safety or property of Uber, Uber Payments, the Custodian, Users, other Partners, or third parties, or to prevent fraud or other illegal activity.
8.5 Partners are responsible for compliance with any and all laws, rules, regulations, and tax obligations that may apply to the use of the Payment Services.

a. breach or circumvent any applicable laws or regulations, agreements with third parties, third-party rights, the Agreement and/or the Payments Terms;
b. use the Payment Services for any commercial or other purposes that are not expressly permitted by the Agreement and/or the Payments Terms;
c. take any action that damages or adversely affects, or could damage or adversely affect, the performance or proper functioning of the Payment Services;
9. Incorrect processing of payments
9.1 Uber Payments will take all reasonable steps to rectify any payment processing errors. These steps may include crediting or debiting (as appropriate) the Partner in Uber Payments' administration. These actions may be performed by
Uber Payments or a third party.
9.2 If Uber Payments processes a Pay-out on the basis of the International Bank Account Number (IBAN) (or other unique identifier) provided by the Partner, Uber Payments is deemed to have correctly processed the Pay-out. Uber Payments is not obliged vis-à-vis the Partner to check whether the IBAN given to Uber Payments is correct and whether the name and IBAN of the account holder to which the Pay-out is made correspond.
9.3 Uber Payments will not be liable for Pay-outs if the Partner provides an incorrect IBAN. The Partner may request Uber Payments to assist in retrieving the amount transferred to an incorrect IBAN provided by the Partner, in which case Uber Payments will undertake reasonable efforts to assist the Partner, including providing the Partner with relevant information in Uber Payments' possession that the Partner needs for reclaiming the amounts paid. Fees may be charged for this assistance.
10. Interest
Uber Payments will not pay any interest over the Pay-out Amount or any other funds held by Uber Payments or the Custodian and designated for a Partner.

These limitations do not intend to limit or exclude the liability of Uber Payments and its Affiliates and subsidiaries in a manner that contravenes the applicable law.
13. Indemnification
The Partner shall indemnify, defend (at Uber’s option) and hold harmless Uber, Uber Payments, the Custodian and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all liabilities, expenses (including legal fees), damages, penalties, fines, social security contributions and taxes arising out of or related to: (a) Partner's breach of its representations, warranties or obligations under the Payments Terms; or (b) a claim by a third party (including Users, regulators and governmental authorities) directly or indirectly related to Partner's provision of Services.

15.2 Additional terms and conditions may apply to the Payment Services. The Partner may, if applicable, be offered these additional terms and conditions. Additional terms and conditions are in addition to, and are deemed to be part of, the Agreement and these Payments Terms.

In that case, the parties will replace the invalid and unenforceable (part of the) provision for a (part of a) provision that is legal, valid and enforceable and which has to the greatest possible extent a comparable effect as the unlawful, invalid or unenforceable (part of the) provisions with regard to the content and the purpose of the Payments Terms.

All undefined, capitalized terms will have the meaning set forth in the Order Form, the Definitions or the General Supplemental Terms.
1. Marketplace Items. Upon Merchant agreeing to the Order Form, Definitions, General Supplemental Terms and Specific Supplemental Terms governing the Marketplace Method, and contingent upon completion of any additional verification steps, the Uber Tools will be made available to Merchant to access and request on-demand delivery services performed by Marketplace Couriers. The Uber Eats Services in connection with the Marketplace Method include, without limitation: (a) providing on-demand lead generation, logistics, payment processing, marketing, onboarding, operational and other support services in connection with the sale of Marketplace Items by Merchant via the Uber Eats App; and (b) enabling Merchant to access and request on-demand delivery services performed by Marketplace Couriers.

a. Marketplace Service Fee. In consideration for the Uber Eats Services in connection with the Marketplace Method, Uber Ireland will charge Merchant a Marketplace Service Fee in the amount set out in the Order Form for each Marketplace Item sold by Merchant via the Uber Eats App. Uber Ireland will calculate the Marketplace Service Fee as follows: the Retail Price of the Item(s) sold by Merchant via the Uber Eats App (including any VAT or other sales tax) (the "Marketplace Item Payment") multiplied by the Marketplace Service Fee percentage. The Marketplace Service Fee shall be deemed to be exclusive of VAT).
b. Marketplace Cash Orders. Uber Ireland may facilitate a delivery option to Customers in the Territory that allows them to pay for a given Marketplace Item provided by Merchant and all associated fees and charges resulting from that transaction in cash (a "Marketplace Cash Order").

The Marketplace Courier shall be notified of the funds to be collected by the Marketplace Courier ("Marketplace Cash Collections"), exclusive of any gratuities, in the Uber Eats App. Uber’s and/or its Affiliates' role as Merchant’s agent with regard to Marketplace Cash Collections shall be to collect the Marketplace Item Payment and Uber Ireland’s Marketplace Service Fee from Marketplace Couriers by either obtaining the funds electronically or offsetting such amounts from funds otherwise due to Marketplace Couriers from their delivery services in aggregate generated on the Uber Eats App. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that collection shall be the responsibility of the Marketplace Courier. If for whatever reason Marketplace Courier’s electronic payment to Uber and/or its Affiliates is delayed or unsuccessful, Uber and/or its Affiliates, in its capacity as Merchant’s collection agent, will act as a fall-back and ensure receipt of payment by Merchant. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that in consideration of Uber Ireland’s provision of lead generation, demand prediction, and other related services provided via the Uber Eats App under the Agreement, Merchant owes Uber Ireland the respective Marketplace Service Fee, regardless of collections related to the attempted or completed deliveries.

With each payment statement, Uber shall report any offsetting and deductions.
d. Revenue Transfer. Uber and/or its Affiliates will transfer to Merchant the total Marketplace Item Payment (including any VAT or other sales tax collected on Merchant’s behalf) earned by Merchant, less less the Marketplace Service Fee and any refunds given on behalf of Merchant to Customers (such final transferred amount being the "Marketplace Item Revenue"). The Marketplace Item Revenue will be transferred on a bi-weekly basis.
3. Batched Trips. Uber may, at its sole discretion, request for one Marketplace Courier to deliver orders to multiple Customers as part of the same trip ("Batched Trips"). Batched Trips may include multiple orders from Merchant, or

although the Uber Eats Services may provide Customers with the ability to apply a gratuity through the Uber Eats Services. With regard to cash gratuities provided by a Customer directly to an Aggregator Courier, no portion of that gratuity is owed to or should be paid to Uber.
