Q: Dears,
I'm currently working on a startup website which follows the Youtube model (pay users for their contribution) based on the effect of the contribution on the society and community.
I would like some help in writing the terms and conditions for the website. Do you advise that we draft the T&C and then it is reviewed by a legal team or should be written by a legal team from the beginning?
Could you give a rough figure or range on what to expect for the cost of such a service?

Q: My partner and I are starting a video blogging and content creation company in Dubai. Thinking to get the license from Sharjah Shands.
For the first vlog, we are contacting eminent people to cover their stories.
What forms do we need them to sign? (Model release? Authentic information?) And where can we get these made?
What are the charges involved? Any other legal things we need to be covered about?

Q: Dear all,
I am soon going to launch the online auction website e-shakoosh.com as an auctioning platform primarily for the UAE but also for the gulf region.
Could you please inform me how much would the drafting of Terms and Conditions and all the other required policies by the UAE law cost me?
Would appreciate it if you could keep the limited financial resources of a startup in mind :)
Thank you

The gaffe that most corporates indulge in is drafting important documents with major consequences themselves, by allotting the task to any distinguished practitioner within the organization, who may be an expert in some other field, only to cut down legal costs or some other reason known to them. Minor squabbles between human beings are but inevitable. Thereby drawing up intention between the parties clearly by way of agreements, and in writing, whilst in commercial trading is a prerequisite.

Can I cancel my house sale contract without extra fees after personal plans changed? 0
Dear Lawyers,
I signed a Form F with a buyer for the sale of my house as we were planning to leave the country. The contract was signed about a month ago, but the handover is not until August.
Due to personal circumstances changing, we are no longer leaving Dubai and would like to cancel Form F.
The Form F contract stipulates that we have to pay the buyer 10% of the purchase value. The real estate agent is now claiming that we also have to pay the buyer's real estate commission and the conveyancing fee.
Our understanding is that the 10% penalty is the only penalty. Which is correct, and what are the next steps to dispute this?
Also, is there any way to dispute the 10% itself under the law due to personal circumstances changing?

Non-payment of share value and claiming the shares back 0
My company is located in Dubai as an LLC. We have two shareholders,
1. UAE national shareholder with 95%
2. A foreign shareholder with 5%
The UAE national shareholder transferred this 5% shares to the foreign shareholder through a share sales agreement, which was notarized at the notary public in Dubai and submitted it to the DED to amend the trade license etc. This happened in 2014.
But till this date, the foreign shareholder did not pay the value of 5% shares to the UAE national shareholder or to the company.
Also, the foreign shareholder was not actively involved with the company's operation and as per Article 17 of the Commercial Companies Law:
"2. The partner may not contribute in work rendered unless he is a joint partner. The contribution of the partner may not consist of his having reputation or influence."
Under these circumstances, is it possible for the UAE national shareholder to request from the court to cancel the 5% shares of the foreign shareholder and transfer back to him?
