In addition, you accept that these terms may be updated from time to time. Please review this page regularly so that you remain aware of the current terms of use.
Acceptable Use of the Website
You may use this website for lawful purposes and for genuine information about our legal services. However, you must not use the site in any way that breaches applicable laws or regulations. Furthermore, you must not use it to send, knowingly receive, upload, or download any material that is unlawful, harmful, or otherwise objectionable.
Any unauthorised use of the website is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, hacking, data mining, and transmitting malicious content such as viruses or harmful code. Moreover, you must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, the server on which it is stored, or any connected server, computer, or database.
Prohibited Activities
To protect all users, certain activities are not permitted on this website. In particular, you agree not to engage in the following conduct:
- Reproducing, scraping, or republishing substantial portions of the website’s content without written permission.
- Interfering with the normal operation of the site or placing an unreasonable load on our infrastructure.
- Using automated tools to extract data beyond what is reasonably necessary for personal, non-commercial reference.
- Attempting to bypass security measures or access non-public areas of the website.
- Introducing malware, denial-of-service attacks, or any other technologically harmful material.
- Impersonating any person or misrepresenting your affiliation with any person or organisation.
Because these activities can harm the website and its users, we take them seriously. Consequently, we may suspend or restrict access where we reasonably believe that a user has breached these terms.
Intellectual Property Rights
Unless stated otherwise, we own or license all intellectual property rights in the website and in the material published on it. This includes text, graphics, logos, layout, and design. Therefore, you may view and print pages for your own personal, non-commercial reference, but you must not use any part of the content for commercial purposes without our written consent.
You must not modify, copy, distribute, or exploit our content in a way that infringes our rights or the rights of third parties. If you believe that any material on the site infringes your rights, please contact us so that we can review the matter promptly and respond appropriately.
Accuracy of Information
We take reasonable care to ensure that the information on this website is accurate and up to date. Nevertheless, the content is provided for general information only and does not constitute legal advice. Laws and procedures in the United Arab Emirates change over time. You can find official guidance on the UAE Government portal, and the way they apply, and the way they apply depends on the specific facts of each situation.
For this reason, you should not rely on the information on this site as a substitute for professional legal advice. Instead, we recommend that you consult a qualified lawyer about your particular circumstances before taking or refraining from any action. We are always happy to discuss how the law applies to your situation.
Links to Third-Party Websites
This website may contain links to external websites operated by third parties. We provide these links for convenience only, and their inclusion does not imply that we endorse the linked sites or their content. Because we do not control third-party websites, we are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, or practices.
When you follow a link to another website, you leave our site, and different terms and privacy practices may apply. Accordingly, we encourage you to review the terms and policies of any external website that you visit through a link on this site.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website. This includes any reliance placed on the content of the site. However, nothing in these terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.
We do not guarantee that the website will always be available or free from errors, viruses, or interruptions. While we take reasonable steps to protect the site, you are responsible for configuring your own technology and for using appropriate virus protection. As a result, you access and use the website at your own risk.
Privacy and Data Protection
We respect your privacy and handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable UAE data protection principles. When you contact us through the website, you may provide personal details such as your name, email address, and telephone number. We use this information only to respond to your enquiry and to provide the services you request.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Moreover, we take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the data you share with us. For more detail on how we collect, use, and store personal information, please read our Privacy Policy alongside these terms.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms from time to time to reflect changes in the law, our services, or our practices. When we do so, we will publish the updated terms on this page. Because the current version applies each time you use the site, we encourage you to check this page periodically so that you understand the terms that apply to you.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
Your use of this website, and any dispute arising from it, is governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates. In addition, the competent courts of the UAE have jurisdiction over any such dispute, without prejudice to any separate agreement between you and our firm. This does not affect any mandatory legal rights that you may have as a website user.
Your Responsibilities as a User
When you use this website, you agree to provide accurate information whenever you contact us or submit an enquiry. You are also responsible for keeping any login details confidential where the site provides account features. Because you are accountable for activity that takes place under your details, you should notify us promptly if you suspect any unauthorised use.
In addition, you agree not to use the website in a manner that could damage our reputation or take unfair advantage of our content. You should respect the rights of other users and refrain from posting or transmitting content that is defamatory, offensive, or misleading. In this way, you help us maintain a safe and useful resource for everyone.
Availability and Security of the Website
We aim to keep the website available and running smoothly. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access, and we may suspend, withdraw, or restrict all or part of the site for business or operational reasons. Where possible, we try to give reasonable notice of any planned interruption, although this may not always be practical.
Security is important to us, and we take reasonable measures to protect the website and the information passing through it. Even so, no online service can be completely secure. Therefore, you should take your own precautions, such as using up-to-date security software, when you access the site or send information to us.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Like many websites, this site may use cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience and to understand how visitors use our pages. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. For full details of the cookies we use and the choices available to you, please read our separate Cookies and Tracking Technologies policy.
Communicating With Our Firm
When you contact us through this website, you should not send confidential or sensitive information until we have formally agreed to act for you. Sending an enquiry does not create a lawyer-client relationship by itself. Instead, such a relationship begins only once we confirm our engagement in writing and complete our client onboarding process.
We treat the enquiries we receive with care and respond as promptly as we reasonably can. Nevertheless, please do not rely on any response as formal legal advice unless we clearly provide it within an agreed engagement. This approach protects both you and our firm and ensures that advice is given with full knowledge of your circumstances.
Content Standards for Use of Website Submissions
If the website allows you to submit content, such as an enquiry message or a comment, that content must meet reasonable standards. In particular, it must be accurate where it states facts, and it must be genuinely held where it states opinions. Furthermore, it must comply with applicable UAE law and must not infringe the rights of any other person.
You must not submit content that is threatening, abusive, discriminatory, or likely to harass or upset others. Likewise, you must not use the website to promote unlawful activity or to transmit unsolicited advertising. Because we want to keep our platform respectful and useful, we may remove any submission that does not meet these standards.
By submitting content, you confirm that it is your own or that you have the right to share it. You also grant us permission to use that content for the purpose of responding to you and improving our services. This permission does not transfer ownership of your content, and we continue to handle any personal information in line with our Privacy Policy.
