UberEats to change 'unfair' contracts with restaurants after ACCC investigation

Consumer watchdog says the contracts made restaurants financially liable for 'elements outside of their control'

UberEats in Australia has agreed to change an "unfair" contract that the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said made local restaurants liable for refunds for delivery errors - even if the restaurants were not at fault - following an investigation.

Previously, if a customer requested a refund, that money could have been deducted from the restaurant - even if the deliverer or Uber itself made the mistake.
