You are free to determine the form of your Transportation Method, between a bicycle, a motorized bicycle, a two-wheeled vehicle, a four-wheel small vehicle, or other methods approved by Eats JP to the extent permitted by applicable law. You acknowledge and agree that your Transportation Method shall at all times be: (a) properly registered and licensed to operate as a delivery vehicle in the Territory (if your Transportation Method is a vehicle); and (b) owned or leased by you or your Fleet Partner, or otherwise in your or your Fleet Partner lawful possession (and if your Transportation Method is a bicycle, for that bicycle to be properly registered with the relevant authority such as bicycle registration for anti-theft purposes).

Where Uber, Eats JP, and/or their Affiliates reasonably determine that you have made a delivery using an electric bicycle that does not meet the requirements of relevant road traffic laws and regulations, or any other vehicle that is in breach of relevant laws and regulations, Uber, Eats JP, and/or their Affiliates may take reasonable action, including reporting the matter to the police and permanently deactivating your account.
Cash Deliveries. Eats JP may facilitate a delivery option to Users in the Territory that allows Users to pay for a given instance of Delivery Services in cash (a “Cash Order”). In Cash Order, you acknowledge that you collect amounts on behalf of Fleet Partner in accordance with the Fleet Partner Agreement.
