Q: Hi, I would like to inquire what are the claims and remedies can I have for the following situation: 1. Delivery date as per the agreement was 110 days, however, it's about 9 months now and the delivery is not done. 2. Website and mobile app developer states that they cannot deliver all the scope that is agreed in the contract (they informed me after 8 months). 3. They threaten to stop the website development if I don't pay the second payment (we pay what they demand although they have not delivered anything yet). 4. The website and app developer promised to deliver the project as per the scope and timeline and advised that I cancel the contract with my previous developer (I cancelled the contract with my previous developer because of this promise). 6. The developer did not allocate dedicated staff for the project although our contract states that they will allocate resources and skilled staff to finish.

Q: Good day, Please advise on the following: Our company ordered an advertising service from another company in Dubai. We have paid the full amount in advance, but have not received any service. It's been around 11 months since the order was placed and paid. The advertising company representative doesn't answer phone calls, same goes for their office. Our company owner wants to raise a legal case against them to recover the amount paid. Please advise what is the process and the cost of the same. Thanks in advance.

Q: Hello, We hosted a digital online event with a supplier and paid 50% advance and provided them with an invoice-based PO for their services. During the event, their hardware crashed and their CEO requested us to cancel the event and postpone it after 2 weeks. With no options during the event and disappointing used experience throughout the event, we had no choice but to take their recommendation. We canceled the original event and rescheduled for the new date they proposed. During the NEW date event, only 300 people participated instead of the 1800 registrations. Can we request a refund and cancel our PO based on the fact that less than 20% of the users showed up after their first experience?

Q: My company engaged a Dubai-based entity, registered in India, on a three-month contract for project upgrade, maintenance, and delivery.

Q: How can I get a refund from a contractor who failed to complete renovation work in Dubai? The contractor agreed to refund but he isn’t transferring the money. He is just dragging me around with fake promises.
