1. DEFINITIONS.

The following terms, as may be used only in these Consumer Vouchers Terms, shall have the meanings set forth below:

1.1. “Active Account” means an account of an Authorized User that is accessible through the Uber App and is enabled for use of the Uber Services.

1.2. “Affiliate” means with respect to any entity, any other entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such entity, where “control” (including the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting equity of another entity, or the power to vote such voting equity, by contract or otherwise.

1.3. “Authorized User” means an individual that has received one or more Uber Vouchers that were created by you.

1.4. “Personal Data” means any information that can reasonably be used to identify an individual and any other data that may otherwise be considered Personal Data.

1.5. “Program” means a circumstance or set of circumstances for which you want to provide Authorized Users with an Uber Voucher to use in connection with the Uber Services.

1.6. “Redemption Value” means the maximum amount for which any single Uber Voucher may be utilized by an Authorized User to receive a full or partial payment for User Charges pursuant to these Consumer Vouchers Terms.

1.7. “Uber App” means Uber’s applications or websites that allow users to access and use Uber Services, as may be updated by Uber from time to time.

1.8. “Uber Service” means Uber’s virtual marketplace platform that, when used in conjunction with the Uber App, serves as an intermediary between (a) users who are looking for a certain type of service (including, without limitation, ground transportation, logistics, delivery, food purchases and related food delivery services), and (b) independent third-party providers of such services.

1.9. “Uber Voucher” means a promotional code generated by you that, when validly applied, allows an individual with an Active Account to receive a partial or full payment by you for User Charges up to the amount of the applicable Uber Voucher, subject to (i) any utilization requirements and limitations established by you, (ii) the terms of these Consumer Vouchers Terms, and (iii) other restrictions and limitations as Uber may determine from time to time that are generally applicable to all discount codes generated by Uber.

1.10. “User Charges” means charges incurred by Authorized Users for transportation, logistics, food purchases and related food delivery, or other services obtained through the use of the Uber Service, including any applicable tolls, foreign transaction fees, taxes, and any other fees or charges that may be due for a particular use of the Uber Service.

1.11. “Utilization Amount” means the exact monetary amount of an Uber Voucher an Authorized User utilized for User Charges.

2. FEES AND PAYMENTS.

2.1. Utilization Amount. You are required to pay Uber the Utilization Amounts on a schedule determined by Uber (such as daily) via your credit card designated in your Account. Uber will place an authorization hold on your designated payment method for the maximum potential aggregate Redemption Value of the Uber Vouchers at the time of Uber Voucher creation. If a fare exceeds the Uber Voucher value for an individual transaction, the balance shall be charged to such Authorized User’s payment method on file in their Active Account.

2.2. Voucher Creation Fee. In consideration for creating an Uber Voucher and related services, at Uber’s discretion you may be required to pay Uber a voucher creation fee (“Voucher Creation Fee”) for each Uber Voucher created. If applicable, the amount of the Voucher Creation Fee will be specified on the Uber Vouchers platform and will be charged at the time of Voucher creation to the credit card designated in your Account and will be non-refundable after the Uber Voucher or Program is created, regardless of whether the Uber Voucher is ultimately utilized. For the avoidance of doubt, the Voucher Creation Fee is not a fee to access Uber Vouchers or any other aspect of Uber’s platform.

2.3 Sales Tax. Voucher Creation Fees payable under this agreement are exclusive of any applicable sales taxes, excise tax, use tax, value added tax, products and services tax, consumption tax or other like amounts assessed by any government agency (“Sales Taxes”) arising as a result of payment of Voucher Creation Fees. Where applicable, Uber will charge and collect Sales Taxes in the same manner as Voucher Creation Fees.

2.4. Account Suspension. Uber reserves the right to immediately suspend your access to Uber Vouchers and suspend any or all access to Uber Vouchers by Authorized Users in the event of any unpaid Utilization Amount. Uber may also deactivate or suspend use of Uber Vouchers at any time during the Term at its sole discretion. Uber further reserves the right to pursue any and all remedies available to it under applicable law, including, but not limited to, reporting you to applicable credit reporting agencies, in the event of any unpaid Utilization Amount hereunder. All late payments shall accrue simple interest on the sum due from the date such payment was originally due until the date of actual payment, at 3% per month or the maximum allowed by applicable law.

3. UBER VOUCHERS.

3.1. Creating Uber Programs and Uber Vouchers; Limitations.

3.1.1. In order to access and create Programs and Uber Vouchers, you must maintain and sign in with your Account (as defined in the Terms). You may create Programs, which will generate Uber Vouchers for you to distribute to Authorized Users. Uber shall run such Programs only in the countries where Uber makes Uber Vouchers available to you. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for all distribution of Uber Vouchers you create, including but not limited to ensuring that such distribution is in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and ordinances and that it does not harm the goodwill or reputation of Uber.

3.1.2. At Uber’s discretion, you can choose to either create a Program with: (a) one single Uber Voucher to distribute to all Authorized Users (a “Single Code”); or (b) individualized Uber Vouchers that you can distribute to each Authorized User, which are limited to one code per person, and can only be used by the first person who redeems the code (each an “Individualized Code”). You acknowledge and agree that Single Codes and Individualized Codes may not be used as intended if an Authorized User shares the code with a non-Authorized User, that Uber has no way to prevent such sharing or non-intended use, and that all of your obligations under these Consumer Vouchers Terms apply no matter who redeems a code under these Consumer Vouchers Terms.

3.1.2.1. Single Codes. For any Program that utilizes a Single Code, you may limit the number of times such code can be used; provided, however, you (a) must clearly and conspicuously disclose to each Authorized User that use of the code is not guaranteed, and (b) must clearly and conspicuously disclose the material terms and conditions of each Single Code to each Authorized User. You acknowledge and agree that: (1) a Single Code may be used by consumers (including non-Authorized Users) you did not intend to target, but you will be financially responsible for the number of times the Single Code is used to access Uber Services; and (2) for any individual that tries to access a Single Code after the usage limitations have been met, Uber will direct such individual to contact you about such matter. Notwithstanding, you acknowledge and agree that in no event will Uber be liable to (i) Authorized Users who were targeted to receive such Uber Voucher but were not able to use the Single Code or (ii) you for Uber’s non-fulfillment of the Uber Voucher as a result of usage limitations set by you.

3.1.2.2. Individualized Codes. For any Program that utilizes Individualized Codes, it is your responsibility to correctly deliver such codes to Authorized Users and to clearly and conspicuously disclose the material terms and conditions of each Individualized Code to each Authorized User. You acknowledge and agree that: for any individual that tries to access an Individualized Code after such code has expired, Uber will direct such individual to contact you about such expired Individualized Code. Notwithstanding, you acknowledge and agree that in no event will Uber be liable to (i) Authorized Users who were targeted to receive such Uber Voucher but were not able to use the Individualized Code or (ii) you for Uber’s non-fulfillment of the Uber Voucher as a result of usage limitations set by you.

3.1.3. Uber Delivered Vouchers. If this option is made available by Uber, you may choose to create an Uber Voucher for a specific Authorized User by requesting that Uber deliver such Uber Voucher to the Authorized User via short message service (“SMS”) or by another agreed upon delivery method such as email (each an “Uber Delivered Voucher”). Prior to creating an Uber Delivered Voucher, you shall obtain consent from the Authorized User, or rely on another appropriate legal basis for sharing such Personal Data, and submit to Uber the following information with respect to such Authorized User: (a) first and last name; and (b) active telephone number and/or email address (collectively, “Authorized User Data”). You shall ensure that any Authorized User Data you provide to Uber is accurate and complete, and Uber shall not be liable to you, any Authorized User, or any other party with respect to inaccurate or incomplete data supplied by you, or if you failed to comply with the above-mentioned requirements for transferring the Personal Data to Uber.

3.2. Uber Voucher Limitations. You shall ensure the maximum aggregate Redemption Value of Uber Vouchers that you have outstanding at any given time shall not exceed the credit amount approved by Uber, unless Uber agrees in writing to allow you to distribute a different amount of Uber Vouchers. Each Uber Voucher created by you shall: (1) expire no later than twelve months following the date on which you created the Uber Voucher; (2) have a minimum Redemption Value for each country for which an Uber Voucher was ordered; (3) be valid for redemption in areas where certain Uber Services are available until such Uber Voucher expires; and (4) be feasibly usable for the Authorized User receiving such Uber Voucher (e.g., an Authorized User cannot be located in New York, New York and receive a code that is only valid in San Francisco, California).

3.3. Restrictions of Use. You cannot use Uber Vouchers with any third-party promotion, agreement, relationship, marketing event, partnership, or any other use case without Uber’s prior written consent. You agree you will not apply, or allow to be applied, the Uber Voucher to an Active Account without first disclosing all of the disclaimers as obligated herein.

3.4. Modification or Cancellation of Uber Vouchers. After a Program is created, you may only: (1) update a Program to make the restrictions and/or value more permissive if the Uber Voucher has not yet been distributed to Authorized Users; or (2) cancel a Program in its entirety, in which case you shall immediately notify all Authorized Users you distributed a Voucher code to that such Program is cancelled, and that you, and not Uber, made the decision to do so. You acknowledge and agree that if you modify or cancel a Program: (1) you remain financially responsible to Authorized Users who received an Uber Voucher from you, whether or not the Authorized User used such Uber Voucher before you modified or cancelled the Program; and (2) if an individual is unable to use an Uber Voucher for a modified or cancelled Program, Uber will direct such individual to contact you about any modification or cancellation issues. Notwithstanding, you acknowledge and agree that in no event will Uber be liable to: (i) Authorized Users who received such Uber Voucher, but were not able to use the Uber Voucher following your modifications to or cancellation of the Program by you or (ii) you for Uber’s non-fulfillment of the Uber Voucher as a result of a modifications to or cancellation of the Program by you.

In the event that you deliver such Uber Vouchers via email, or other communication channels in accordance with applicable laws, you shall ensure that you are the sole sender of the email as defined by the CAN-SPAM Act and applicable data privacy laws, marketing and/or consumer regulation or guidelines and that Uber does not appear as the sender of such email. In the event that you deliver such Uber Vouchers via SMS, you shall ensure that you have affirmative written consent from all Authorized Users to send them such messages and will make clear in the message that it is being sent by you (as opposed to Uber).

If there are any time, distance or other use limitations, make sure you disclose those up front in the communication of the Uber Voucher. If the Uber Voucher only covers a portion of the trip or order, as may be the case, and other applicable fees, make sure you are clear what that portion is and that the user will have to pay for any remaining cost.

You shall ensure that any delivery or distribution by you of an Uber Voucher to an Authorized User, or any communication related thereto, shall include a prominent disclaimer notifying the Authorized User that: (a) such Uber Voucher may only be redeemed for specific types of [rides/orders] requested via the Uber App (e.g., for meal delivery or for specific ride types through the Uber App): (b) such Uber Voucher is subject to a specific, defined expiration date; (c) such Uber Voucher is subject to specific, defined geographic restrictions; (d) such Uber Voucher is subject to a specific, defined maximum Redemption Value; (e) such Uber Voucher cannot be redeemed for goods or services outside of the Uber App; (f) once redeemed by an Authorized User, Uber Voucher value is not transferable to other Uber accounts, users or products; (g) the Authorized User and you will not receive any value or credit for any unused portions of an Uber Voucher; and (h) such Uber Voucher has no cash value and may not be redeemed for cash, except as required by law.

You will assume the defense of the claim through counsel designated by you and reasonably acceptable to Uber. You will not settle or compromise any claim, or consent to the entry of any judgment, without written consent of Uber, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
