3
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
In January 2013, I subscribed to a tourism package with a registered company in the UAE. We signed a contract and paid AED 11,000 for the package.
However, the company has not been providing us with the promised services. We have decided to cancel the subscription and request a refund.
The company initially said that we would be eligible for a refund after 6 months, but now they are saying that we will only be refunded after 1 year, and that is only if management approves.
The exact clause that describes the cancellation policy is:
“A subscription cancellation request received within 7 days of the enrollment/payment date may be eligible for a refund after deducting 30% administration charges and the cost of any utilized services, if any.”
Their subscription fee is 11000 and we were not informed of a separate administration charge. They are not willing to refund.
Isn’t it illegal to deny that right to a customer?
Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide!

كيف يمكنني استرداد الأموال المدفوعة لبائع إصلاح مكيف الهواء إذا فشل في إصلاحه؟
1
س: أنا مالك عقار وقد أخذت خدمات من شركة لإصلاح مكيف الهواء في منزلي. طلب مني الرجل الذي يعمل في الشركة تحويل الأموال إلى حساب بديل لتسريع الأمور.
لم يتمكن من إصلاح المشكلة وكان وقحًا جدًا مع المستأجر. في النهاية، أعاد الأجزاء وانتهى بنا الأمر بإصلاحها من بائع آخر.
الآن لا يعيدون لي المبلغ المدفوع يلفاُ البالغ 1300 درهم إماراتي.
كيف يمكنني حل هذا الأمر؟
هل أحتاج إلى تقديم شكوى للشرطة أو قضية قانونية؟
لا أريد الكثير من المتاعب ولكنني أريد استعادة أموالي.

الحصول على استرداد ثمن تذكرة طيران لم تكن متوفرة لدى وكالة سفر


1
س: سيدي/سيدتي العزيز،
لقد حجزت تذكرة طيران عبر الإنترنت من وكالة سفر في دبي. بعد الحجز، تم خصم المبلغ من بطاقتي، ولكن لم أتلق التذكرة بعد.
عندما اتصلت بخدمة عملاء وكالة السفر، أخبروني أنه سيتم توفير التذكرة في الصباح.
لاحقًا، أرسلوا لي بريدًا إلكترونيًا يفيد بأن التذكرة غير متوفرة لدى شركة الطيران ويمكنني إما إعادة جدولة التذكرة أو استرداد المبلغ.
لقد طلبت استرداد المبلغ وأجابوني بأن المبلغ سيتم تحويله إلى حسابي خلال 25 يومًا. لقد مر ما يقرب من شهرين ولم أتلق المبلغ المسترد بعد.
يرجى اقتراح كيفية المضي قدمًا!

I bought an infant push car that broke in 2 weeks. Am I eligible for a refund?



1
Q: Good morning,
I bought a push car for my infant, and it broke after 2 weeks of use. It was an expensive item from a reputable online store.
Repair is not possible due to torn wires inside the mechanism. I requested a replacement or refund, but the shop cited "wear and tear due to usage," claiming no spare parts were available and denied my request.
I replied saying this is a very low-quality product if it breaks after 2 weeks of normal usage. I want to stress the fact that it is a baby product. It should be of the highest quality and safety.
Am I eligible for a refund? Is there any law to protect me as a customer?
Thank you!

Asked to pay for a full year of an online community subscription after termination. How to respond?

Q: Hello,
I would like to get your opinion on this matter.
I subscribed to an annual subscription of an online community and paid for the first month. Within 20 days, I sent an email requesting to terminate my account.
Now, after 5 months, I have received a legal notice stating that I am required to pay for the entire year, even though I haven't used the service.
How should I approach this situation?
Thank you!

عرض الجميعWhat can I do if my tenant moved out without notice after serving him rent increase notice? 2
I own a property in Dubai and we issued a 90-day notice to the tenant to advise of the rent increase.
The tenant accepted and confirmed they would be renewing the tenancy agreement.
Before they signed the new tenancy agreement they moved out without giving any notice.
What are my rights in this scenario?

As a partner who loaned money to the company, should I sue the company or my partner? 1
Dear Lawyers,
I am a 50% partner in a company. I had given a 2M AED loan to the company about 10 years ago. There are expert reports and bank records to prove the loan.
The company does not have any bank balances or assets. Should I start a lawsuit against the company and demand 2M AED, or should I start a lawsuit against the other 50% partner and demand 1M AED?
One benefit of suing the company is that I can obtain an acknowledgment of debt, and later in an execution case, I can issue a certificate of solvency to have the other partner arrested.
However, suing the other 50% partner directly would include their name in the executive writ. Please guide me!

عرض الجميعRequest for legal guidance regarding employer harassment and premature asset retrieval demand (1) 0
Respected Law Team Members, I am writing to seek genuine legal advice and guidance for our friend regarding an ongoing issue with her employer.
On 23rd May 2025, she received a termination notice via WhatsApp from her sponsor, which clearly states that she is required to complete her handover by 20th June 2025.
Since receiving the notice, however, her sponsor has been repeatedly contacting her via WhatsApp and phone calls, pressuring her to immediately return the company laptop and office cabinet keys, despite the agreed-upon handover date.
In addition, she has been verbally accusing my friend and making threatening remarks, creating a hostile environment, and causing her emotional distress.
To clarify her legal position, she contacted MOHRE, who advised her to reshare the termination notice to the lady employer about the handover date (20th June 2025) as she outlined in the (Cont-1)

Hello,
My previous employer filed a case against me for embezzlement and imposed a travel ban. I know for myself it was all a lie, but since the case is already filed and the police investigation is still ongoing, I need to find a job.
However, first, I am worried that my new employer will come to know I have an active case. Second, I am worried that I cannot get an employment visa.
Can someone help me?

Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment?
Our system doesn't allow us to issue an invoice unless the goods exist in our inventory. We also require this advance or down payment as confirmation of his order.

How can my kids learn about their father's condition without contacting his family? 0
Good morning,
I have two kids. Their father is in critical care and is not able to communicate, and we have been divorced for more than seven years.
The other side of the family is not communicating with the kids about the father's whereabouts for them to visit him, and they have not been in touch with the kids for the past two weeks due to family issues that took place in court regarding guardianship of the kids.
How can I find a way for our kids to know what is going on with their father and his condition without reaching out to them, to avoid any further escalation?
My daughter has tried to call them, but there was no response.
Please advise!

Cont-1) as outlined in the termination notice.
Following a recent threatening message from her sponsor, in which she mentioned filing a police complaint, she proactively contacted Dubai Police for guidance.
They advised her to visit Jebel Ali Police Station to report the matter and seek assistance regarding the harassment.
Our concern is that if she returns the laptop prematurely, her work may be deleted or altered, and this could negatively impact my End of Service Benefits (EOSB) and her professional record, as her sponsor has a pattern of making unfounded accusations.
Here is the most recent message my friend received from her: “Good morning. Hi, I urgently need my laptop and keys from the cabinet. Send me the location, I will send CAREEM. I need my laptop and keys from the cabinets immediately. If you do not send the location to pick up my stuff, I’m gonna go to the police. Sorry, but you must return my stuff. My business cannot operate properly without my computer.” (COnt-2)

How can I remove a travel ban or avoid arrest if I left the UAE with an unpaid rent case? 0
In 2018, I was involved in a dispute concerning unpaid rent related to a property managed by [-----] under the jurisdiction of the Land Department. [----] proceeded with legal action, resulting in a civil case and the imposition of a travel ban.
A civil case had been reported in an Arabic-language newspaper. Not being fluent in Arabic, I missed the Land Department hearing, and the obvious outcome included an order for payment and a travel ban, but I had already left the country by that time.
questions:
Statute of Limitations: After how many years does such a civil case expire under UAE law, thereby allowing me to legally return to Dubai without facing arrest or enforcement actions?
International Travel: Am I currently at risk of arrest or extradition if I travel to non-GCC countries like India or Pakistan?

عرض الجميعDo I have to pay the value of training to the company in case of terminating the contract? 0
Salam,
My company has filed a complaint against me in MOHRE related to training fees.
This is the clause mentioned in my contract:
"The Second Party shall be obliged to pay back the value of the training (which is estimated at an amount of 10000 AED) when they terminate the employment contract based on their own free will (within One Year) from the date of commencement of their contract, without prejudice to the First Party's legal or contractual obligations. (the amount agreed on for the value of the training period must be commensurate with the employment period of the employee)"
My question is:
1. I served 11 months in the company. Can they demand the full 10,000 or it should be less due to 11 months (as per the last line of the clause)?
2. I didn't even get training from the company. I learned normally by working on projects with seniors. No training session was conducted for me. Should I still have to pay?
My case is in MOHRE.
Thanks
