These terms apply to your use of gulfsimple.com (“Gulf Simple”, “we”, “us”). By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.
About the site
Gulf Simple publishes practical guides for expats living in or moving to the UAE. It is an independent website. It is not a government website and is not affiliated with ICP, GDRFA, MOHRE, RTA, Dubai Police or any other UAE government entity.
Information only
Everything on Gulf Simple is general information. It is not legal, immigration, financial or religious advice, and it does not replace the official instructions of the authority that handles your case. Rules, fees and procedures in the UAE can change, so always confirm the details with the relevant authority before you pay, apply or sign anything. Our Disclaimer sets this out in full.
Calculators and tools
Some guides include calculators or other tools. They give estimates for general guidance only and are not an official figure. You are responsible for checking any result with your employer, the authority or the provider concerned.
Copyright
Unless stated otherwise, the text, images, graphics, logo and design of Gulf Simple belong to Gulf Simple. All rights reserved. Names and trademarks of government bodies, companies and other organisations belong to their owners and appear only to help readers find the right service.
You may read and print our pages for personal use, share links to them, and quote short extracts as long as you link back to the original page on gulfsimple.com. You may not copy, republish, sell or scrape our content, or reuse it in bulk, without our written permission.
Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the site. That includes trying to gain unauthorised access, overloading or disrupting the site, scraping it at scale, sending spam through the contact form or introducing malicious code. We may block access for anyone who breaks these terms.
Messages you send us
Comments are closed and user registration is switched off, so the only way to send us content is the contact form. Please keep messages lawful and polite, and do not include other people’s personal data. We may use a correction or a topic idea you send to improve our guides, without naming you.
Links to other websites
Our guides link to official UAE government websites and other useful sources so that you can check the details yourself. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices. A link does not mean that the website endorses Gulf Simple. We do not sell links or publish paid, sponsored or guest posts.
No warranty
The site is provided “as is” and “as available”. We work to keep our guides accurate and up to date, but we do not promise that every page is complete, current or suitable for your situation, or that the site will always be available or free of errors.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by the laws of the UAE, Gulf Simple is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site, your reliance on its content, or any error, downtime or third-party link. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.
Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect and how we handle it.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows the current version. If you keep using the site after a change, you accept the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates.
General
If any part of these terms is found to be invalid, the rest stays in effect. These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, are the full agreement between you and Gulf Simple about using the site.
