Q: Hello,
I would like some help regarding stating the copyright. I am sending professional photographs that I took to another company for a shared project. I would like to specify to this company that I don't want them to share my photos with other companies because they are my own work.
How do I do that and make it both legally binding and not "rude", as I plan to continue working with this company? I am basically just wanting help with drafting a professional legal email.
Thank you for your help.
Best wishes,
Naj

Breach of tenant's privacy
2
Q: (If) I took a picture of my tenant's living room and posted it on a property website to rent the property, as we've agreed with the tenant that he vacates the property at the end of the year. Then he found out about the advertisement on the property website in the remaining 3 months before the end of the contract (we have posted the advertisement with the picture of the living room) and informed me to remove it from the website. I removed it immediately, but he has printed out the advertisement with his living room pictures.Now he is saying that if I made any issues to him as a tenant or deny his demands or do not renew his contract or increase the rent he will file a case in the police for the privacy breach. Please note that this was not intentional and it was a mistake without knowing the laws about these things.Q: How long does a person have the time to file for a privacy breach until it's considered invalid or it's long overdue or something similar? Kindly advice. Thank you.

Having a company and a license to create a mobile application?

3
Q: I am creating a mobile application, and I would like to introduce a payment process within the app to facilitate the whole process for the service provider.
Now, the idea of the app is similar to (meetups); anyone can create an event and the event can be set as a paid event, joiners will have to pay the organizer which can be anyone signed up to the app.
Usually, the process goes like this people pay the organizer on the spot in cash. I would like to make it to be an online payment to the organizer.
Do I need to have a company and a license to start this?
And is the process of the app idea allowed here in the UAE?

I am aware of the UAE Data Office, the DIFC Commissioner, and the ADGM Commissioner, but I would like to know if there are any other mandatory regulatory agencies that enterprises need to be aware of in Dubai and the UAE Mainland.

How can I establish a legal company to launch a voucher mobile app?

2
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
We plan to launch a voucher mobile app with two types of users: consumers and merchants. Merchants pay a daily calculated fee of AED 10/20/30, while users don't have to pay or purchase anything.
Throughout the day, users simply need to write/upload a post/image on the app and answer a random skill-based question. The more they participate, the higher their chances to qualify.
Every following day, the collected pool from merchants is randomly distributed back to users in the form of vouchers. For instance, if today's pool is AED 350,000, tomorrow it will be distributed among a random set of users, potentially in the thousands.
If, for example, 17,500 users qualify, they would receive vouchers of random values. Users must use these vouchers at eligible merchants within the next 24 hours, or the vouchers expire.

View allHow can I vacate my tenant if the rental agreement ends before the eviction notice deadline? 0
My Dubai tenant's rental agreement is ending by the end of September 2024 and the completion of 12 months of legally served Eviction Notice is the end of December 2024.
I have two questions:
(a) Can I send a rent increase notice 3 months before as the rent has increased as per the RERA rent calculator?
(b) The second question is, do I have to renew the rental agreement for 3 months (until December 2024) or not?
Thank you.

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Can a real estate agency hold a percentage of a property sale until transfer is done? 0
A real estate agency has signed an MOU stating that a 10% security deposit from the buyer and the seller will be kept in the real estate agency and will be released upon transferring the property.
The transfer of the property was blocked due to the court order.
According to my colleagues, the real estate agency is not a trustee and they are not allowed to have taken my security check in the first place, is this correct?
