> The terms that apply when you use dubaibusinessinsight.com, its guides, calculators and newsletter.

- URL: https://dubaibusinessinsight.com/terms/
- Publisher: Dubai Business Insight (https://dubaibusinessinsight.com/)

These terms apply when you use dubaibusinessinsight.com, its articles, guides, calculators and newsletter. By using the site you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

## Who we are

Dubai Business Insight ("we", "us") is an independent publication based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, run by its founder and editor. You can reach us at [contact@dubaibusinessinsight.com](mailto:contact@dubaibusinessinsight.com) or through our [contact form](https://dubaibusinessinsight.com/contact/).

## Information, not advice

Our articles, guides and calculators explain UAE rules, fees and processes in general terms. They are not legal, tax, immigration, employment or financial advice, and they don't take your own situation into account.

- Rules and government fees change, sometimes without notice. A page may not reflect changes made after its "Updated" date.
- Before you act on anything important, check it with the official source (for example ICP, GDRFA, MOHRE or the FTA) or a qualified adviser.
- We aren't a government body and we aren't linked to any government service. We never charge for, or process, visas, permits, fines or applications.

## Accuracy and corrections

We check facts against official sources and list those sources on each guide. We still can't promise that every page is complete, current or free of errors. If you spot a mistake, please tell us through our [corrections policy](https://dubaibusinessinsight.com/corrections/) and we will fix it.

## Calculators

Calculator results are estimates based on the figures you enter and the general rules on each page. They are not an official or binding figure. Your contract, your employer's records or an authority's decision may give a different result. The calculations run in your browser, and we don't store what you enter.

## Using our content

The articles, guides, images, graphics, calculators and design of this site belong to Dubai Business Insight or the people who licensed them to us. You are welcome to:

You need our written permission to republish an article or image in full, to translate or adapt our content for publication, or to use it commercially. Our images are watermarked and may not be reused. For permissions, [contact us](https://dubaibusinessinsight.com/contact/).

## Search engines, AI assistants and automated access

Search engines and AI crawlers that follow our [robots.txt](https://dubaibusinessinsight.com/robots.txt) file are welcome. Please don't bypass robots.txt, hide who you are, or send so many requests that the site slows down for readers.

## Newsletter

The Dubai Business Brief is free. You join by confirming your email address, and you can leave at any time with the unsubscribe link in every email. We may change how often we send it, or stop it.

## Messages, tips and corrections you send us

When you send us a message, tip or correction, you confirm that it is accurate as far as you know and that you have the right to share it. We may use the information to report, correct or update our content. We won't name you as a source without your permission.

## Partner content and advertising

Partner content is paid for by the partner named on the page and is always labelled, as set out in our [partner content policy](https://dubaibusinessinsight.com/partner-content-policy/). Adverts are marked "Advertisement". We don't endorse advertised products or services, and any deal you make with an advertiser or partner is between you and them.

## Links to other websites

We link to government websites and other outside sites, and our buttons can open WhatsApp, LinkedIn, X and AI assistants. We don't control those services and aren't responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.

## Acceptable use

Please don't:

- try to break into, disrupt or overload the site or its servers,
- send spam, malware or false information through our forms,
- pretend to be us or suggest that we endorse you,
- use the site in a way that breaks UAE law or the law where you are.

We may block access for anyone who does.

## Availability

We try to keep the site running at all times, but we may pause, change or remove pages, calculators or features without notice, for example for maintenance or security.

## Limits on our liability

The site is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage that comes from using the site, relying on its content or calculators, or being unable to use it. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under UAE law.

## Privacy

How we handle personal data is explained in our [privacy policy](https://dubaibusinessinsight.com/privacy-policy/) and [cookie policy](https://dubaibusinessinsight.com/cookie-policy/).

## Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The "Updated" date on this page shows the latest version, and continuing to use the site means you accept it.

## Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Emirate of Dubai and the federal laws of the United Arab Emirates. The courts of Dubai have jurisdiction over any dispute. If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
