The ride-sharing giant has laid out hard rules for riders for the first time. No barfing and absolutely no flirting!
Drivers have had them for a while, but now riders are subject to definitive community guidelines. If someone reports misbehavior to Uber, the company will investigate and possibly suspend the rider's account while they're looking into the complaint. If the investigation confirms the behavior, the rider could be banned for life, according to an Uber spokesperson.
The company has deactivated riders in the past based on similar guidelines but said that it's making the rules public now in an effort to be transparent and build trust between riders and drivers.
Here's what you have to do to get banned:

In the past year alone, Uber has dealt with several reports that its drivers have sexually assaulted passengers. This new rule applies to rider/driver interactions and rider/rider interactions. No inappropriate touching or flirting is allowed, either.
Important note: Even if the sex is consensual, riders and drivers can be banned if Uber confirms that the sex happened, according to an Uber spokesperson.
