Uber B.V. – Terms and Conditions – New Zealand
Last updated: 31 March 2025
1. CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP
These Uber B.V. – Terms and Conditions – New Zealand (“Uber Terms”) govern the access or use by you, an individual, from within any country in the world (excluding the United States and its territories and possessions and Mainland China) of applications, websites, content, products, and services (the “Uber Services”) made available by 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 (“Uber”).
Scope of these Uber Terms
Uber Services may be provided by Uber or, if specified in these Uber Terms or any supplemental terms, affiliates of Uber. However, the Uber Services provided by Uber under these Uber Terms do not include any delivery services. An Uber affiliate in New Zealand may offer delivery services in certain circumstances (“Uber Delivery Services”). If you request Uber Delivery Services that service will be provided to you under a separate delivery services agreement (“Uber Delivery Terms”) between you and the Uber affiliate.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING OR USING THE UBER SERVICES.
Your access and use of the Uber Services constitutes your agreement to be bound by these Uber Terms, which establishes a contractual relationship between you and Uber. If you do not agree to these Uber Terms, you may not access or use the Uber Services. These Uber Terms expressly supersede prior agreements or arrangements with you.
Supplemental terms
Supplemental terms may apply to certain Uber Services, such as policies for a particular event, activity or promotion, or a particular category of Uber Services. Supplemental terms will be provided to you in connection with the applicable Uber Services.
Any supplemental terms are in addition to, and shall be deemed a part of, the Uber Terms for the purposes of the applicable Uber Services. Supplemental terms shall prevail over these Uber Terms in the event of a conflict with respect to the applicable Uber Services. To avoid doubt, any Uber Delivery Terms accepted by you are not supplemental terms. If you accept Uber Delivery Terms, a separate agreement is formed between you and the Uber affiliate identified in the applicable Uber Delivery Terms for the supply of the relevant Uber Delivery Services.
Amendments
Uber may amend the Uber Terms, any supplemental terms or policies (including the "Community Guidelines", available at https://www.uber.com/legal/en/document/?name=general-community-guidelines&country=new-zealand&lang=en) related to the Uber Services from time to time. Uber will provide you with at least 30 days’ written notice in the event of a material change to any Uber Terms, policies or supplemental terms that detrimentally affects your rights under these Uber Terms. However, charges, rates and fees in connection with transportation services offered by Third Party Providers which are accessible within the Application may change from time to time without prior notice, though such changes will not apply to trips in progress. Amendments will be effective upon posting of such updated Uber Terms at this location or the amended supplemental terms or policies on the applicable Uber Service or at this location (as the case may be). Your continued access or use of the Uber Services after such posting, or after the expiry of the notice period (whichever is later), constitutes your consent to be bound by the Uber Terms, policies and supplemental terms, as amended.
Termination or restriction of the Uber Services
Uber may restrict you from accessing or using the Uber Services, or any part of them, immediately, without notice, in circumstances where Uber reasonably suspects that:
(a) you have, or are likely to, breach these Uber Terms;
(b) you do not, or are likely not to, qualify, under applicable law or the standards and policies of Uber, to access and use the Uber Services; and/or
(c) you or others may be at risk of harm as a result of consumption of certain regulated items (including, but not limited to, alcohol) made available by Third Party Providers via the Application, which may come about, for example, as a result of: (i) a report made to Uber (or its affiliate) by a third party; (ii) delivery refusal (e.g. due to intoxication); and/or (iii) a review of your purchases of regulated items using the Application.
Uber may terminate these Uber Terms or any Uber Services with respect to you, or generally cease offering or deny access to the Uber Services or any portion thereof:
(a) immediately, where Uber reasonably suspects that: (i) you have, or are likely to, materially breach these Uber Terms; (ii) you do not, or are likely not to, qualify, under applicable law or the standards and policies of Uber, to access and use the Uber Services; and/or (iii) you or others may be at risk of harm as a result of consumption of certain regulated items (including, but not limited to, alcohol) made available by Third Party Providers via the Application, which may come about, for example, as a result of: (A) a report made to Uber (or its affiliate) by a third party; (B) delivery refusal (e.g. due to intoxication); and/or (C) a review of your purchases of regulated items using the Application; or
(b) on 30 days’ written notice to you, where Uber, acting reasonably, terminates these Uber Terms or any Uber Services for any legitimate business, legal or regulatory reason.
Without limiting its other rights under these Uber Terms, Uber may immediately restrict or deactivate your access to the Uber Services if you breach the Community Guidelines at any time.
You may terminate these Uber Terms, or stop using the Uber Services, at any time, for any reason.
Privacy
Our collection and use of personal information in connection with the Uber Services is as provided in Uber’s Privacy Notice. Uber may provide to a claims processor or an insurer any necessary information (including your contact information) if there is a complaint, dispute or conflict, which may include an accident, involving you and a Third Party Provider (including a transportation network company driver) and such information or data is necessary to resolve the complaint, dispute or conflict.
2. THE UBER SERVICES
Uber will provide the Uber Services to you in accordance with these Uber Terms. The Uber Services constitute the provision of a technology platform that enables you, as a user of Uber’s applications or websites (each, an “Application”) to: (a) arrange and schedule certain services with independent third party providers of those services that have an agreement with Uber or its affiliates (“Third Party Providers”), including: (i) transportation services from those Third Party Providers; and (ii) the purchase of items or delivery services from those Third Party Providers; (b) subject to you accepting the Uber Delivery Terms, purchase delivery services from an Uber affiliate (in that affiliate‘s capacity as a delivery services provider) under a separate agreement between you and that affiliate; and (c) facilitate payments to Third Party Providers for the goods and services provided to you by those parties and receive receipts from an Uber affiliate for those payments.
The Uber Services are made available solely for your personal, non-commercial use, unless Uber has agreed with you otherwise in a separate agreement. You acknowledge that: (a) Uber does not provide transportation services or function as a transportation carrier; (b) all such transportation services are provided by independent third party contractors who are not employed by Uber or any of its affiliates; (c) Uber does not provide delivery services; and (d) delivery services may be provided by an Uber affiliate (in its capacity as a delivery services provider) in accordance with the Uber Delivery Terms or a Third Party Provider, if you have purchased delivery services from that Uber affiliate (in its capacity as a delivery services provider) or Third Party Provider via an Application. Uber accepts liability for the Uber Services and Application that it provides to you subject to these Uber Terms. Third Party Providers are solely responsible for the services they provide to you. If an Uber affiliate provides Uber Delivery Services to you, that affiliate is solely responsible for the Uber Delivery Services it provides to you in accordance with the Uber Delivery Terms.

However, you also acknowledge that any Uber Delivery Services ordered via “Uber Eats” or “Courier” will be separately provided under the applicable Uber Delivery Terms by the Uber affiliate identified in those terms (in its capacity as a delivery services provider). The Uber Delivery Terms that apply in these circumstances are available here.
You also acknowledge that the Uber Services may be made available under such brands or request options by or in connection with: (i) certain of Uber’s subsidiaries and affiliates; or (ii) independent Third Party Providers, including transportation network company drivers, transportation charter permit holders or holders of similar transportation permits, authorisations or licences.

Promotional Codes
An Uber affiliate may, in its sole discretion, create promotional codes that may be redeemed for Account credit, or other features or benefits related to a Third Party Provider’s services, subject to any additional terms that the Uber affiliate establishes on a per promotional code basis (“Promo Codes”). You agree that Promo Codes: (i) must be used for the intended audience and purpose, and in a lawful manner; (ii) may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner, or made available to the general public (whether posted to a public form or otherwise), unless expressly permitted by the Uber affiliate; (iii) may, as permitted by law, be disabled by Uber or its affiliate at any time without liability to Uber or its affiliate; (iv) may only be used pursuant to the specific terms that the Uber affiliate establishes for such Promo Code; (v) are not valid for cash; and (vi) may expire prior to your use.

This section does not apply to promotional codes for Uber Delivery Services. Instead, the Uber Delivery Terms apply to those promotional codes.
User Provided Content
Uber may, in Uber’s sole discretion, permit you from time to time to submit, upload, publish or otherwise make available to Uber through the Uber Services textual, audio, and/or visual content and information, including commentary and feedback related to the Uber Services, Delivery People and Third Party Providers, initiation of support requests, and submission of entries for competitions and promotions (“User Generated Content”). All User Generated Content is subject to the User Generated Content Terms, including provisions on ownership and usage rights.
Network Access and Devices
You are responsible for obtaining the data network access necessary to use the Uber Services. Your mobile network’s data and messaging rates and fees may apply if you access or use the Uber Services from a wireless-enabled device and you shall be responsible for such rates and fees. You are responsible for acquiring and updating compatible hardware or devices necessary to access and use the Uber Services and Applications and any updates thereto. Uber does not guarantee that the Uber Services, or any portion thereof, will function on any particular hardware or devices. In addition, the Uber Services may be subject to malfunctions and delays inherent in the use of the Internet and electronic communications.
4. PAYMENT
You understand that use of the Uber Services may result in charges to you for the services or goods you receive from a Third Party Provider or for any services you receive from an Uber affiliate (“Charges””). Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by the Third-Party Provider and/or the Uber affiliate, or required under applicable New Zealand consumer law.
With respect to Third Party Providers, Uber and/or its affiliates will facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Third Party Provider. If Uber and /or its affiliates bear responsibility for payment of any GST charged in respect of goods or services provided by a Third Party Provider, Uber and /or its affiliates will retain, own and remit the GST component of the relevant Charges to the Inland Revenue Department. Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Third Party Provider (other than the GST component of the relevant Charges which is retained by Uber and /or its affiliates where the applicable GST laws require it to make payment of that GST directly to the Inland Revenue Department). You retain the right to request lower Charges from a Third Party Provider for transportation services received by you from such Third Party Provider at the time you receive such transportation services. An Uber affiliate will respond accordingly to any request from a Third Party Provider to modify the Charges for a particular service or good. This payment structure is intended to fully compensate the Third Party Provider for the services or goods provided. You understand and agree that, while you are free to provide additional payment as a gratuity to any Third Party Provider who provides you with services or goods obtained through the Uber Services, you are under no obligation to do so. Gratuities are voluntary. After you have received services or goods obtained through the Uber Services, you will have the opportunity to rate your experience and leave additional feedback about your Third Party Provider.
There also may be certain Charges you incur that will be owed and paid directly to an Uber affiliate. For the avoidance of doubt, Uber or its affiliates do not charge a fee for you to access the Uber App, but may charge you a fee or other Charge in connection with accessing goods or services from a Third Party such as a fee for support services supplied by an Uber affiliate.
All Charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated or enabled by Uber and / or its affiliates using the preferred payment method designated in your Account, after which you will be sent a receipt by email. If your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that Uber and/or its affiliates may use a secondary payment method in your Account, if available.
You acknowledge that an Uber affiliate may, acting reasonably, establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the Uber Services at any time at the direction of the Third Party Provider or otherwise in the Uber affiliate’s discretion, including in certain circumstances such as where you choose an additional service that incurs an additional charge, or an item you requested is out of stock. Further, you acknowledge and agree that Charges applicable in certain geographical areas may increase substantially during times of high demand. Uber will use reasonable efforts to ensure the Uber affiliate informs you of Charges that may apply, provided that you will be responsible for Charges incurred under your Account. You acknowledge that an Uber affiliate may from time to time provide certain users with Promo Codes that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained through the use of the Uber Services, and you agree that such Promo Codes are provided to you for no fee, have no monetary value, cannot be redeemed for cash, are not exchangeable or transferable and, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Uber Services or the Charges applied to you.
Upfront Price Estimates
The Third Party Charges for transportation services provided by a Third Party Provider may be displayed as a fare estimate before the trip begins (“Upfront Price Estimate”). The Upfront Price Estimate is based on factors like the expected distance, time, traffic conditions, and any applicable fees or surcharges. The Upfront Price Estimate does not include applicable paid wait time.
The Upfront Price Estimate is an estimate only and does not constitute a price guarantee. Uber may allow the Third Party Provider to vary the final fare from the Upfront Price Estimate in certain circumstances (acting reasonably), such as if the destination changes, additional stops are made, a different route is used or the trip takes much longer than estimated. In such cases, the applicable rates and charges that apply are accessible through the Application. Tolls or surcharges may also vary the fare if they differ from what's estimated.
Cancellations
You may elect to cancel your request for transportation services from a Third Party Provider at any time prior to such Third Party Provider’s arrival, in which case you may be charged a cancellation fee, subject to Uber’s or its affiliate’s cancellation policies. If the transportation services are cancelled for any reason not attributed to you in accordance with Uber’s or its affiliate’s cancellation policies, you will be entitled to a refund for any charges paid.
If you purchase items or items and delivery services from a Third Party Provider, other than from a Third Party Provider who sells non-restaurant food items including, for example, items from grocery, convenience, alcohol, specialty goods such as florists or butchers, pharmacy and/or pet stores (“Non-Restaurant Food Items”), you may cancel your order at any time. If a Third Party Provider has not yet accepted your order, you can cancel at any time without incurring a charge. If a Third Party Provider has accepted your order and you cancel 2 minutes or more after placing your order, you will incur a cancellation charge which will be no more than the full price for your ordered items. If you cancel your order after the delivery has begun, you will also be charged the full price for the delivery services purchased from the Third Party Provider.
If you purchase items or items and delivery services from a Third Party Provider who sells Non-Restaurant Food Items, you may cancel your order at any time. If you cancel your order after the delivery has begun, you will incur a charge which will be no more than the full price for your ordered items and the full price of the delivery services purchased from the Third Party Provider.
Uber may, in Uber’s sole discretion, waive in part or full, an applicable cancellation charge in relation to your purchase of items or items and delivery services from a Third Party Provider in certain circumstances. A request for any such waiver must be made via an Uber affiliate’s customer support service.
If any delivery services provided by a Third Party Provider fail or are cancelled for reasons that Uber determines, acting reasonably, are attributed to you (for example, you provided an incorrect delivery address) you will be charged no more than the full price for both the items and any delivery services purchased from the Third Party Provider. If any delivery services provided by a Third Party Provider fail or are cancelled for any reason that Uber determines, acting reasonably, are not attributed to you, you will be entitled to a refund for any charges paid for those delivery services.
The terms and conditions that apply to charges for Uber Delivery Services provided by an Uber affiliate are set out in the Uber Delivery Terms.
If you have other issues with any items or services provided by a Third Party Provider, Uber or its affiliate will manage your complaint in accordance with the complaints process set out in section 6.
Nothing in this section is intended to limit your rights as a consumer, including your entitlement to a refund or other applicable remedies, under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
Repair or Cleaning Fees
You shall be responsible for the cost of repair for damage to, or necessary cleaning of, Third Party Provider vehicles and property resulting from use of the Uber Services under your Account in excess of normal “wear and tear“ damages and necessary cleaning (“Repair or Cleaning”). In the event that a Third Party Provider reports the need for Repair or Cleaning, and such Repair or Cleaning request is verified by an Uber affiliate in the affiliate’s reasonable discretion, Uber reserves the right to facilitate payment for the reasonable cost of such Repair or Cleaning on behalf of the Third Party Provider using your payment method designated in your Account. Such amounts will be transferred by Uber to the applicable Third Party Provider and are non-refundable.

However, if you downloaded the Application from the Apple App Store, Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Uber Terms. Upon your acceptance of these Uber Terms, Apple shall have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Uber Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof. These Uber Terms incorporate by reference Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement, for purposes of which, you are “the end-user”. In the event of a conflict in the terms of the Licensed Application End User License Agreement and these Uber Terms, these Uber Terms will control.
General
You may not assign or transfer these Uber Terms in whole or in part without Uber’s prior written approval. You give your approval to Uber for it to assign or transfer these Uber Terms in whole or in part, including to: (i) a subsidiary or affiliate; (ii) an acquirer of Uber’s equity, business or assets; or (iii) a successor by merger. No joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you, Uber or any Third Party Provider as a result of the contract between you and Uber or use of the Uber Services.
If any provision of these Uber Terms is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under any law, such provision or part thereof shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of these Uber Terms but the legality, validity and enforceability of the other provisions in these Uber Terms shall not be affected. In that event, the parties shall replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or part thereof with a provision or part thereof that is legal, valid and enforceable and that has, to the greatest extent possible, a similar effect as the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or part thereof, given the contents and purpose of these Uber Terms. These Uber Terms, including any incorporated policies, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and replaces and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or undertakings regarding such subject matter. Nothing in this clause limits your rights as a consumer that cannot be excluded under applicable law. In these Uber Terms, the words “including” and “include” mean “including, but not limited to”.
Portier New Zealand Limited – Terms and Conditions for Uber Delivery – New Zealand
Last updated: 31 March 2025
By using or placing an order for delivery services provided to you by Portier NZ via an Uber branded application or website, you confirm that you accept these terms and conditions and agree that they will apply to you each time you request an Uber Delivery Service (as defined below). Uber Delivery Services include delivery services provided by Portier NZ when you use Uber Eats or Courier, but do not include third party delivery services provided by merchants or restaurants. Please read these terms carefully before requesting any Uber Delivery Service.
The services provided by Uber B.V. (referred to as “Uber” in these terms and conditions) are not changing though. Uber continues to own, and provide you with the right to use and access, the Uber and Uber Eats website and apps. The Uber B.V. Terms and Conditions (set out above) apply to the use of these other services.
1. CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP
These Portier New Zealand Limited – Terms and Conditions for Uber Delivery - New Zealand (“Uber Delivery Terms”) govern your use of, and the provision of, Uber Delivery Services (as defined below) requested using an Uber branded application or website, which are provided by Portier New Zealand Limited NZBN 94 290 470 537 24, a New Zealand registered company (“Portier NZ”). Portier NZ is an affiliate of Uber B.V., a private limited liability company established in the Netherlands, having its offices at Mr. Treublaan 7, 1097 DP, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, registered at the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce under number 56317441 (“Uber”).
Scope of these Uber Delivery Terms
These Uber Delivery Terms apply to the provision of delivery services by Portier NZ, which are offered to you via an Uber branded application or website (“Uber Delivery Services”). The Uber Delivery Services provided by Portier NZ under these Uber Delivery Terms do not include any of the services provided by Uber under the Uber B.V. – Terms and Conditions, available here (“Uber Terms”). The Uber Terms apply to the access or use by you of any application, website, content, product, or service made available by Uber under the Uber Terms (“Uber Services”).
In addition, the Uber Delivery Services do not include the purchase of any items or delivery services offered by independent third party providers of goods and services via Uber branded applications or websites (“Merchants”). In some cases, Merchants may offer delivery services via an Uber branded application or website (“Merchant Delivery”). Portier NZ will let you know when your order will be fulfilled by Merchant Delivery. If you purchase items or delivery services from Merchants via an Uber branded application or website, that sale and purchase takes place directly between you and the Merchant, and is subject to the Uber Terms (as the Merchant is a “Third Party Provider” under the Uber Terms) but is not subject to these Uber Delivery Terms.
PLEASE READ THESE UBER DELIVERY TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING OR USING THE UBER SERVICES TO REQUEST AN UBER DELIVERY SERVICE, AS THEY CONSTITUTE A SEPARATE LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND PORTIER NZ.
Your access and use of the Uber Services to request an Uber Delivery Service constitutes your agreement to be bound by these Uber Delivery Terms, which establishes a contractual relationship between you and Portier NZ. If you do not agree to these Uber Delivery Terms, you may not access or use the Uber Services to request an Uber Delivery Service. These Uber Delivery Terms expressly supersede prior agreements or arrangements with you in relation to Uber Delivery Services.
Your contractual relationship with Portier NZ is separate (and in addition) to your contractual relationship with Uber under the Uber Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, your access to and use of the Uber Services continues to be governed by your separate agreement with Uber under the Uber Terms.
Supplemental terms
Supplemental terms may apply to certain Uber Delivery Services, such as policies for a particular event, activity or promotion, or a particular category of Uber Delivery Services. Supplemental terms will be provided to you in connection with the applicable Uber Delivery Services.
Any supplemental terms are in addition to, and shall be deemed a part of, the Uber Delivery Terms for the purposes of the applicable Uber Delivery Services. Supplemental terms shall prevail over these Uber Delivery Terms in the event of a conflict with respect to the applicable Uber Delivery Services.
Amendments
Portier NZ may amend the Uber Delivery Terms and any supplemental terms or policies related to the Uber Delivery Services from time to time. Portier NZ will provide you with at least 30 days’ written notice in the event of a material change to any Uber Delivery Terms, policies or supplemental terms that detrimentally affects your rights under these Uber Delivery Terms. Amendments will be effective upon posting of such updated Uber Delivery Terms at this location or the amended supplemental terms or policies on the applicable Uber Delivery Services or at this location (as the case may be). Your continued access or use of the Uber Delivery Services after such posting, or after the expiry of the notice period (whichever is later), constitutes your consent to be bound by the Uber Delivery Terms, policies and supplemental terms, as amended.
Termination or restriction of the Uber Delivery Services

- any other delivery services provided to you by Portier NZ from time to time, as set out in applicable supplemental terms.

You acknowledge that all Uber Delivery Services will be provided by Portier NZ. Portier NZ accepts liability for delivery services provided by it in accordance with these Uber Delivery Terms.

You may also be able to place orders via the Uber Eats App provided by Uber (in its capacity as licensor of the Uber branded applications and websites) that do not require Uber Delivery Services, such as pickup or Merchant Delivery. The Uber Terms between you and Uber (in its capacity as licensor of the Uber branded applications and websites) apply to the sale and purchase of any items or delivery services provided by the Merchant to you.
Eats Delivery Services are offered in designated areas as communicated via the Uber Eats App from time to time (“Eats Active Area”). Portier NZ does not guarantee that the Eats Delivery Services will be available in the Eats Active Area at all times.
If you choose Eats Delivery Services
If you choose Eats Delivery Services, Uber Delivery Services will be provided by Portier NZ and you will be charged by Portier NZ for the Eats Delivery Services. Portier NZ may subcontract a “Delivery Person” to undertake the Eats Delivery Services. A Delivery Person is not an employee of Portier NZ or any of its affiliates and may delegate to another person to provide such delivery services on their behalf. References in these Uber Delivery Terms to “Delivery Person“ include (where the context requires) references to a delegate of a Delivery Person.
For each delivery provided under the Eats Delivery Service, Portier NZ will endeavour to ensure that your Items are delivered to you as soon as reasonably possible. Unfortunately, independent factors such as traffic and weather, as well as the actions or inactions of Merchants or other third parties may cause delays in the provision of Eats Delivery Services.

Cancellations and Refunds for Uber Delivery Services
In these Uber Delivery Terms, “Non-Restaurant Food Items” refers to non-restaurant food items including, for example, items from grocery, convenience, alcohol, specialty goods such as florists or butchers, pharmacy and/or pet stores.
If you purchase Items from a Merchant (other than a Merchant who sells Non-Restaurant Food Items) and Eats Delivery Services from Portier NZ, you may cancel your order at any time. If a Merchant has not yet accepted your order, you can cancel at any time without incurring a charge. If a Merchant has accepted your order and you cancel 2 minutes or more after placing your order, you will incur a cancellation charge which will be no more than the full price for your ordered items. If you cancel your order after the delivery has begun, you will also be charged the full price for any Eats Delivery Services in accordance with these Uber Delivery Terms.

Portier NZ may, in its sole discretion, waive in part or full, an applicable cancellation charge in relation to your purchase of Eats Delivery Services in certain circumstances. A request for any such waiver must be made via Portier NZ’s customer support service.
If any Eats Delivery Services fail or are cancelled for reasons that Portier NZ determines, acting reasonably, are attributed to you (for example, you provided an incorrect delivery address) you will be charged no more than the full price for both the Items in accordance with the Uber Terms, and the full price for any Eats Delivery Services in accordance with these Uber Delivery Terms.
The terms and conditions that apply to charges for Items or Merchant Delivery provided by a Merchant are set out in the Uber Terms.
You may cancel your Courier Delivery Service at any time. If you cancel 5 minutes or more after a Delivery Person accepts your Courier Delivery Service request, you will be charged a cancellation fee.

If the Uber Delivery Services fail or are cancelled for any reason that Portier NZ determines, acting reasonably, are not attributed to you, you will be entitled to a refund for any charges paid for that purchase.
If you have other issues with any Uber Delivery Services, your sole recourse will be with Portier NZ and Portier NZ will manage your complaint in accordance with the complaints process set out in section 6. Subject to applicable New Zealand law, Portier NZ will provide refunds for Uber Delivery Services at its discretion, acting reasonably.
