This Uber Agreement Puts Drivers On The Hook!

Uber drivers may be agreeing to more than they realize when they click “Yes, I agree.”In this video, I break down Uber’s Indemnity Agreement involving Schleuder, LLC, a subsidiary of Uber Technologies. The agreement appears to place broad responsibilities on drivers for certain claims, expenses, attorney’s fees, damages, penalties, fines, taxes, and other potential losses connected to platform access, deliveries, third-party interactions, or an alleged breach of the agreement.I also compare those driver obligations with Uber’s indemnity obligation, which appears much narrower and focuses primarily on intellectual-property claims involving the Driver App and authorized Uber-branded materials.We’ll look at: What Section 1.1 says about the driver’s indemnity obligations What types of losses and expenses may be included Who may control the defense and settlement of a claim What Uber agrees to indemnify the driver for The limitation-of-liability exceptions What happens after a driver stops using Uber Which state’s law may apply Why the final “I have read, understood, and considered the consequences” statement matters The questions drivers should ask before clicking “Yes, I agree” The agreement shown in this video is identified as updated June 1, 2020. Make sure you verify which agreement Uber is currently presenting to you and save a copy of anything you accept.This video is for informational and educational purposes only. It is not legal advice, and the agreement’s interpretation or enforceability may depend on the specific facts, applicable state law, other contracts, insurance coverage, and the current version of Uber’s terms. If you are dealing with an actual claim or legal dispute, consult a qualified attorney.What do you think? Does this agreement appear balanced between Uber and drivers?
