For the sake of clarity, all Participants (as defined below) acknowledge and agree that neither Uber South Africa Technology (Proprietary) Limited nor any of its affiliates, holding companies, advertising agencies, advisers, nominated agents, partners, suppliers, subsidiaries and/or related/associated entities shall be considered as co-promoters of this Competition.

By entering and/or taking part in the Competition, either wittingly or unwittingly, all Participants and the Winners agree to be bound by these Rules. Any dispute or uncertainty, of any nature, in relation to the Competition and the Rules, shall be decided and resolved by the Promoter, in its sole and absolute discretion, whose decision shall be final and binding on all affected or related persons. The Promoter expressly reserves the right at any time and without notice to the Participants or any other persons, and for any reason which the Promoter reasonably deems necessary or appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion, to (i) amend, modify, or change these Rules and/or any prize and (ii) postpone, suspend or cancel this Competition and/or any prize, or any aspect thereof. 
The Competition is only valid within South Africa where Uber is available. Participants must be within South Africa (i) at the time of entering and/or participating in the Competition, for any potential verification process (to the extent necessary) and (ii) at the time the Prizes are being awarded should they be declared a Winner,

The Competition commences at 00:01 on 20 September 2023 and ends at 23:59 on 24 October 2023 (“the Duration”). In order to submit an entry in the Competition and stand a chance to win one of the below Prizes, Participants must request and take 1 (one) ride via the Uber platform, of any length or duration.

Every single completed trip via the Uber platform constitutes an individual and separate entry into the Competition.

If a Winner does not answer the telephone call by 12h00 SAST, the Winner will then be contacted via email. The Winner must confirm their acceptance of the Prize within 24 hours of receiving the telephone call (should they have answered) or email, whichever is sooner. If no response is received by the Promoter within this time period or if the Winner does not accept the Prize, the Winner will forfeit the Prize, and the Promoter, in its sole and absolute discretion may award the Prize to another Participant, after following the same process explained above, or declare that the Competition be closed with less or no Winners.
