3.3 Interim/Oqood Registration
Off‑plan sale agreements and related dispositions must be registered on the DLD Interim Register (Oqood). Dispositions not recorded may be considered invalid under Dubai law.
3.4 The Client acknowledges that real estate developments, particularly off-plan projects, may be subject to delays, changes in timelines, or variations in refund practices, which are outside the control of the Company.
4) Client Responsibilities
4.1 Accurate Information
You warrant that all information and documents provided to the Company are correct, complete, and up to date, and that you have full legal authority to enter into the relevant transaction.
4.2 KYC/AML Cooperation
As a regulated Designated Non-Financial Business or Profession (DNFBP), we are legally required to perform Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD). The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate services if required information is not provided or if compliance requirements are not satisfied.
The Client agrees to provide all required KYC data, including:
Identity documentation
Proof of address
Beneficial ownership information
Source of funds/wealth evidence
Sanctions and PEP screening information

Before making any payments, you must verify beneficiary name, IBAN, and purpose through an authenticated Company communication channel. For off‑plan, payments must be made only to the developer’s escrow account.
5.2 Title & Permit Verification
We assist Clients in verifying title deeds, Trakheesi permits, Madmoun QR codes, and ownership information via DLD systems. Clients may independently verify at any time via Dubai REST.
5.3 Cash Restriction
We do not accept cash payments for purchases or sales. AML regulations prohibit such forms of payment.
5.4 Payments to Developers and Third Parties
The Client acknowledges that any payments made to developers, sellers, escrow accounts, or any third parties - including, but not limited to, Expression of Interest (EOI) deposits, reservation fees, instalments, or other transaction-related payments - are made directly by the Client and at the Client’s own risk and responsibility.
The Company does not receive, hold, or control such funds and is not a party to the underlying contractual relationship between the Client and the developer or third party.
Accordingly, the Company shall not be liable for any delay, deduction, non-refund, default, or financial loss arising from or related to such payments, including but not limited to EOI cancellations, refund processes, or developer-related obligations.
Nothing in this clause shall exclude liability in cases of fraud, wilful misconduct, or gross negligence on the part of the Company, to the extent such liability cannot be excluded under applicable UAE law.
For the purpose of these GTC, “gross negligence” means a serious disregard of a duty of care which a reasonably competent real estate professional in Dubai would be expected to observe under similar circumstances.
6) Contracts, Brokerage Instruments & Priority
6.1 When applicable, the Client shall execute:
RERA Form A - Seller/Broker marketing authority
RERA Form B - Buyer representation

7) Fees, Taxes & Invoices
7.1 Fees are due based on the milestones defined in the engagement letter, Forms A/B, SPA, or tenancy agreement.
Fees are non‑refundable once the corresponding milestone is achieved unless required by law.

8) Third‑Party Providers & Limitations

The Client acknowledges that all investment decisions are made independently and that the Client does not rely solely on the Company’s views when entering into any transaction.
8.5 Transaction Execution
The Company does not assume responsibility for the execution, completion, or performance of any transaction, including registration, developer obligations, or third-party processes.
Transaction timelines depend on third parties, including developers, authorities, and financial institutions, and may be subject to delays outside the Company’s control.
8.6 Independent Advisory Capacity: No Partnership or Agency
Nothing in these GTC shall be construed as creating any partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between the Company and any developer or third party. The Company acts solely as an independent real estate broker and advisor and does not assume any fiduciary, discretionary, or asset management responsibilities beyond those expressly required under applicable UAE law.
8.7 Information Disclaimer
The Company does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information provided, including property details, developer information, or market data, whether obtained from third parties or otherwise.
