1. Interpretation


The Uber Insertion Order (“IO”), in which these terms (“Terms”) are incorporated, is entered into by the Uber entity/(ies) defined in the IO (“Uber”) and the Agency or Advertiser defined in the IO. The Terms are governed by the IAB/AAAA Standard Terms and Conditions Version 3.0 (“IAB Terms"), available at https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/IAB_4As-tsandcs-FINAL.pdf, which are incorporated herein by reference (together the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined will have the meanings given by the IAB Terms. If the IO is executed directly by an Advertiser, all obligations of “Agency” and “Advertiser” will be the obligations of Advertiser. The Agreement is governed by the laws of New Zealand and the parties irrevocably consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the courts sitting in New Zealand. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency, the order of precedence shall be: 1) the IO, 2) the Terms, 3) any other terms incorporated herein by reference, and 4) the IAB Terms.

2. Intellectual Property

Advertiser grants (or shall procure the grant to) Uber a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive and nontransferable license during the campaign to convert (if necessary), publish, display, and distribute the Ads in the placements in the Uber app, Uber Eats app, or other surface owned or operated by Uber (together, the “Uber Platform”) as specified by the Media Plan throughout the Territory defined in the IO. Unless otherwise explicitly authorized, Uber may not alter or edit the Ads without the prior written consent of Advertiser, however, Uber may resize or reformat the Ads, including any logos as may be necessary to publish the Ads. Uber reserves the right to add an appropriate disclosure to any Ads that might not be distinguishable from editorial content.


b. Neither party will acquire any license or right to any names, logos, designs, trademarks, social media, service marks, or trade names used by the other party (the “Advertiser Marks” and “Uber Marks” respectively, and collectively “Marks”), or the copyrights, or other form of intellectual or commercial property or other proprietary rights of either party and will not use such property or rights in any manner, except as herein permitted. All uses of a party’s Marks by the other party will be in the form and format specified or approved by the owner of such Marks. Neither party will use the other party’s Marks without the prior, express, written consent of the other party except that after the campaign, Uber may use the Ads solely to promote Uber’s advertising business.

c. All goodwill related to the use of a party’s Marks by the other party will inure to the benefit of the owner of such Marks. All rights not granted are expressly reserved.

4. Non-guaranteed


Unless otherwise set forth the applicable line item, all Deliverables are non-guaranteed.

5. Reporting


Section IV(b) of the IAB Terms shall be deleted in its entirety. Uber will make reporting available on a regular basis, unless otherwise specified. Uber’s measure of billable metrics shall be the controlling measurement for invoicing advertising fees.

Payment of the additional amount will be made at the same time as any other payment or consideration for the supply is required to be made or provided in accordance with this IO.
