Content & IP Rights · Context
Uber Technologies, Inc. states it respects others' intellectual property and expects users to do the same
The policy is issued by Uber Technologies, Inc., which the text defines as "Uber". It opens by stating that Uber respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This is the framing for the notification procedure that follows; it is a statement of position, not an operative rule by itself.

Notification of Copyright Infringement
Uber Technologies, Inc. ("Uber") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same.
Qualifications & exceptions
"Uber" means Uber Technologies, Inc. throughout this policy.
Not stated here
"Users" is not defined here; which Uber services' users this policy addresses is not stated in this document.
Uber may disable or terminate accounts of users who repeatedly infringe or are repeatedly charged with infringing
It is Uber's stated policy, "in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion", to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe, or who are repeatedly charged with infringing, the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others. Two points matter: the action is discretionary rather than automatic, and the trigger includes being repeatedly accused ("charged"), not only proven infringement. The rule also reaches "other intellectual property rights", not copyright alone.

Qualifications & exceptions
Discretionary: "in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion".
Trigger covers users who "repeatedly infringe or are repeatedly charged with infringing".
Covers "copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others", not copyright only.
Not stated here
How many incidents count as "repeatedly" is not stated.
Whether a successful counter-notice removes a "charge" for this purpose is not stated.
Whether Uber gives notice before disabling or terminating an account is not stated.
Cross-references
contrast (model-proposed): After a counter-notice, Uber forwards it and restores the content in 10-14 business days unless sued — contrast: Reviewed tension, not a contradiction: the counter-notice route restores content when a complainant does not sue, yet the account policy may be triggered by users repeatedly charged with infringing, which on its wording counts accusations as well as proven infringement. The policy does not say whether a successful counter-notice removes a charge for repeat-infringer purposes.

On receiving a Notice, Uber will remove or block the content, notify the poster and allow a counter-notice
Upon receipt of a Notice, Uber says it will expeditiously remove or block access to the allegedly infringing content, notify the alleged third-party infringer, and give that third party an opportunity to submit a counter-notice disputing the allegation. The text describes no review of the Notice's merits before removal; the stated trigger is receipt of the Notice, and the delivery instruction requires the Notice to be submitted "with all items completed". The person whose content is removed is told what happened and can respond through the counter-notice route.

The Notice must identify the copyrighted work that has been infringed; if several works are covered by one Notice, a representative list is enough.

The Notice must include contact information for the person submitting it, for example a mailing address, telephone number and email address, and the full legal name and an electronic or physical signature of that person.

The body of the Notice must contain both of two fixed statements. The first is a statement of good-faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law, with fair use given as an example of a lawful use. The second is a statement that the information in the Notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the submitter is the owner, or authorized to act for the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right under it. The perjury language attaches to the ownership-or-authority part of the second statement.
