Uber does a U-turn: Updated fine print says that it does not take responsibility for your safety
This might just be legalese to protect Uber and it does not mean the company will not endeavour to provide the best service it can, but the language still sticks in the throat. You agree that the entire risk arising out of your use of the services, and any service or good requested in connection therewith, remains solely with you.” This might just be legalese to protect Uber and it does not mean the company will not endeavour to provide the best service it can, but the language still sticks in the throat. That such a person could become an Uber driver inspired very little confidence in the so-called “background checks” Uber was performing. An Uber spokesman told TIME that in the Kolkata case the company immediately contacted the passenger, suspended the driver and helped local authorities with their investigation. Thus on one hand, Uber wants to create a public image of a responsible and responsive company that is trying its level best to plug all the loopholes and ensure passenger safety.
