There are often two contracts that are valid at the same time, covering different aspects: - frame contracts, which outline the overall way in which parties work together, not necessarily having a term length - specific assignment contracts (which specify a given task, its duration, responsibilities, deliverables, etc) and these have a definite term length (i.e. it's about moving a customer from place A to place B). I would say that the overall contract between Uber and a driver is like a frame contract. It lists a number of conditions, for instance the methods for initiating and approving individual transport contracts. And then there are the individual transport assignments, each of which is a specific contract. Are they contracts between Uber and the driver, or contracts between the customer and the driver? I don't know. (IANAL, I have just been dealing with these types of contracts in my work for many years).
