Taxi company Uber has spelled out the reasons you could lose access to its service, including for sex, drugs and vomiting.
According to the New Zealand Herald, new rules are coming into force here later this month.
One is the ‘no sex rule’ which states there must be no physical contact with the driver or fellow riders.
The company says, "As our community guidelines make clear, you shouldn't touch or flirt with other people in the car. As a reminder, Uber has a no sex rule. That's no sexual conduct with drivers or fellow riders, no matter what.”
It also states that nobody should hurt a driver or other passengers. Use of inappropriate language and gestures is also banned.
The rules also include damage to property - including damaging the car, spilling food or drink, smoking, or vomiting due to consuming too much alcohol.
Uber says breaking the law while using the taxi service is a definite no-no.
This includes bringing open containers of alcohol or drugs into the car, travelling in large groups that exceed the number of seat belts in the car, or using Uber to commit a crime.
Uber also prohibits riders and drivers from carrying firearms in a vehicle.
Uber says that if it is made aware of these kinds of problem behaviours, it will contact the rider and investigate them.
If a user is under an investigation Uber can put a hold on their account.
It is not only users that have been targeted in this crackdown, drivers have been too.
Uber says the main things they take seriously are quality, fraud, safety and discrimination.
Fraudulent activity, safety related breaches and use of drugs and alcohol can lead to bans for drivers.
Uber gives advice to both riders and drivers and says everyone should be treated with respect.
"It's common courtesy not to shout, swear or slam the car door. And by tidying up after yourself — whether it's taking your trash home or cleaning up a spilled drink — you'll keep the car in good condition and ensure the next person has a pleasant ride too."
The Uber service began in New Zealand in 2014 with 485,000 active riders and 6500 active drivers here.
A new star rating system will be introduced on September 19.
