If the Third Party Provider agrees to provide Services to you including the purchase of Goods on your behalf, then you agree to authorise the Third Party Provider as your agent to provide the Service and to deliver Goods to the recipient designated in the Service request.

If you are not the recipient, you must also inform the recipient of his/her responsibility to do so. If you are not the recipient, and if the designated recipient did not pay the value of Goods to the Third Party Provider, as described above, then you must pay such value in person to the Third Party Provider.
2.7. Refusal or Rejection of Deliveries. You acknowledge and agree that the Packages and Goods are delivered at your request by the Third Party Providers, without Uber being involved in any way. This means that Uber does not and is not responsible for delivering Packages and Goods. When you request any of the Services, then you are entering into a contract with a Third Party Provider. The Third Party Providers are free to accept, refuse or cancel the Services after acceptance for any reason. You also have the right to cancel any Service request before its acceptance from the Third Party Provider. The Third Party Provider and everyone who signs up to an Uber account are bound by the Community Guidelines available herein which form an integral part of Connect Terms of Use. If you cancel your request for the Services, you will be charged a cancellation fee in accordance with Uber's cancellation policies where such cancellation fee is due to the Third Party Provider.
2.8. Delivery, Redelivery, and Undelivered Packages and Goods. If the Third Party Provider is not able to complete the Services for example, because the Third Party Provider is unable to locate the delivery location and is unable to contact you, the Third Party Provider has the right to return the Package or Good to you. If the Third Party Provider is not able to do so, then you acknowledge and agree that the Third Party Provider may leave the Package or Good at the original pickup location, an alternative location as instructed by you, at the delivery location or at any place near the delivery location as agreed between you and the Third Party Provider. Uber Services will, to the extent reasonable, permit you to rearrange the Service with Third Party Providers or facilitate the exchange of the undelivered Packages or Goods between you and the Third Party Providers.

Uber reserves the right to facilitate payment for the costs associated with the return, redelivery or disposal of your Packages or Goods on behalf of the Third Party Provider using any of your payment methods designated in your Account. Such amounts will be transferred by Uber to the applicable Third Party Provider.

ANNEX 1
TERMS AND CONDITIONS RELATING TO VAT
General.
These specific terms and conditions relating to VAT (the VAT Terms) shall apply from the date of their issuance and shall continue to apply unless and until expressly terminated by Uber.
Your continued use of the Uber Application on or after the date of your receipt of the VAT Terms shall mean your acceptance of the VAT Terms.
Defined terms shall have the meaning provided for in the General Terms of Use or the Uber Connect Terms and Conditions above (as applicable), unless expressly defined differently in these VAT Terms.
For the purposes of the VAT Terms, the term ‘Uber’ shall mean both Uber B.V, a private limited liability company established in the Netherlands, having its offices at Burgerweeshuispad 301, 1076 HR, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, registered at the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce under number 56317441, and Uber Saudi Arabia, a limited liability company established in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under number 1010443737.
Application of VAT on.
Further to instructions received from the General Authority of Zakat & Tax (GAZT), VAT is chargeable on the total Service Charge for Services rendered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Saudi Arabia) at the prevailing rate. In the event that these instructions change and such change applies retrospectively, Uber shall seek to refund such amounts of VAT that may be subsequently refunded to Uber by the GAZT, in accordance with the terms of the VAT Refund section below.
VAT Refund.
1. Uber makes no guarantee or assurance that the VAT charged on the Service Charges will be recovered from the GAZT or refunded to you.
2. Uber shall be entitled to deduct amounts to reflect administrative expenses and such other costs (including penalties and any assessment of unpaid VAT) necessarily incurred as a result of implementing GAZT’s instructions, prior to making a refund of VAT to you.
3. Any amount of VAT to be refunded to you shall be credited to your Account in the form of credits that are non-transferable, non redeemable against cash, available for use in Saudi Arabia only and with an expiry date of one year from their issuance (unless otherwise made available by Uber). You agree and accept that you shall have no entitlement to receive the VAT refund as cash.
4. In the event that you have closed your Account as at the time the VAT refund takes place, Uber will send you via email a voucher (equal to the amount of any refund that you are owed) that is redeemable on the Uber Application. The voucher will be personal to you and you may redeem it by opening a new personal account on the Uber Application or reactivating your closed account. If Uber does not have a record of your email (whether because it was not provided to Uber initially or because Uber deleted such information based on your request or due to any other reason), Uber will not seek to contact you and any refund will be subject to your request made in accordance with paragraph 5 below.
5. Uber shall not be liable for any voucher sent to the email address it has in its records if such voucher is received and/or redeemed by any person other than you. In the event that you have closed your Account as at the time the VAT refund takes place and that you were not contacted by Uber in accordance with paragraph 4 above, you shall be entitled to contact Uber to reclaim VAT. Refund will be via vouchers redeemable on the Uber Application in accordance with the details set out in paragraph 4 above. Uber will have the right to request you to provide such documents (including trip receipts you have received by email from Uber or via the Uber Application) to authenticate your claim.
6. You agree and accept that you shall not seek to claim VAT refunds from Uber after a period of 12 months from the date that you became aware of a potential entitlement to reclaim VAT, and in any event no more than 5 years from the date that such entitlement arose.
