MOSCOW, April 24 (RAPSI) – Uber Technolodgy, Russian firm operating under Uber brand, has filed an appeal with the Supreme Court against 100,000 rubles ($1,785) fine for misleading consumers about actual carriers, the court’s documents read on Monday.
Earlier, Uber Technology has filed an appeal with the Moscow Commercial Court against Moscow Department of Russia’s consumer rights watchdog (Rospotrebnadzor). The court dismissed the appeal on September 1, 2016, and that ruling was later upheld by higher courts.
Rospotrebnadzor believes that a consumer gets an impression that the transportation service is provided by Uber company but in fact this service is provided by Uber’s partner-drivers. Consumer is not informed about results of medical examination and licensing of taxi drives as well as consumer qualities of transfer service.
The service states that during the registration on uber.com website consumers may create accounts without learning about conditions and privacy policy and as a result they may not know all conditions of service provided.
