This is fucked. But I have a question. Why does Uber need to bother relying on the daughter’s agreement with Uber Eats? Surely the parents as Uber ride share users already agreed to similar terms no? Is this their way of testing this in court to see how far they can push it and set a precedent?
Yes but wouldn’t the parents already have agreed to such terms when they first signed up for Uber, long before their daughter clicked to accept the updated terms on Uber Eats (which presumably is a different app.)
Not if those terms weren't in the original ToS agreement.
Just fyi, über has one app. Covers both ride booking and food ordering.
Not on my phone
Perhaps a regional thing? Mine is one app.
My guess was either regional or OS; I'm in Canada, running Android
