Such conditions for termination include but are not limited to: engaging in fraudulent activities, misuse of content ownership rights, or violation of privacy terms. We also reserve the right to take these actions if we believe that user conduct violates applicable laws or regulations, or it disrupts the experience of other users.
Effects of Termination
In the event of termination, all rights granted to you under these Terms of Use will immediately cease. This means you will lose access to all content and services provided by UAEHarbor. Any information shared by you or user-generated content in association with your account may also be removed and is not guaranteed to be recoverable.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Arab Emirates, without regard to its conflict of law principles. By accessing or using UAEHarbor, you agree that any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms, your use of the website, or any content accessed through the site will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Dubai. This ensures a clear understanding of legal implications and protections for both users and the website itself.
Mediation and Arbitration
In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to your access to or use of UAEHarbor, the parties agree to attempt to resolve the matter amicably through mediation prior to pursuing any legal remedies. Should mediation fail, any unresolved disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the regulations set forth in Dubai. This process seeks to provide a structured and efficient resolution to conflicts, minimizing the need for prolonged litigation.
Dispute Resolution Process
The dispute resolution process involves the following steps: Firstly, you must notify UAEHarbor in writing of the nature of the dispute, and the parties can engage in negotiation for a period of no less than thirty days. Should negotiation not yield a satisfactory resolution, either party may initiate arbitration proceedings. All proceedings will be conducted in the English language, and the arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding on both parties. This structured approach helps facilitate a fair resolution process without unnecessary delays.
Severability of Terms
If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed modified to the limited extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. The remaining provisions of the Terms shall continue to be in full force and effect, ensuring that the intentions of both parties are honored to the fullest extent permitted by law. This clause is essential as it preserves the integrity of the terms and assures users that the majority of the terms are upheld irrespective of isolated invalid conditions.
