Legal
Terms & Conditions
Terms for using this website and for initiating consulting services.
Last updated: May 31, 2026
1. Scope
These Terms & Conditions govern the use of this website operated by Firstgate Consulting - FZCO (“Firstgate”, “we”) as well as the consulting and services initiated through it. Differing terms of the user do not apply unless we expressly agree to them in writing.
2. Services
Firstgate supports clients in forming companies in the United Arab Emirates (Free Zone and Mainland) as well as with related services such as banking access, visa and Emirates ID procedures, and accounting and tax compliance. The specific scope of services results from the respective individual agreement with the client.
The information presented on this website is for general guidance and does not constitute a binding offer. It does not replace legal or tax advice from appropriately licensed professionals.
3. Formation of contract
The content of this website, including any price or service indications, constitutes a non-binding invitation to make contact (invitatio ad offerendum). Submitting a request via the form does not yet conclude a contract. A contract for consulting services is concluded only through a separate, individual agreement (e.g. offer and acceptance, or a signed engagement confirmation).
4. Client cooperation duties
The client provides the information and documents required for the provision of services completely, correctly and in good time (in particular identity and KYC documents). Delays resulting from late or incomplete cooperation are not to our detriment.
5. Fees & payment
Fees are governed by the individual agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, invoices are due without deduction. Government fees and third-party disbursements (e.g. free-zone, visa or banking fees) are to be borne by the client unless expressly included.
Specific prices, packages and timelines are defined in the individual offer.
6. Liability
We are liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body or health, and for intent and gross negligence. In the case of slight negligence, we are liable only for the breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal duty) and limited in amount to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Any further liability is excluded.
Decisions by authorities, such as the granting of a licence, a visa or the opening of a bank account, are beyond our control. We owe a diligent handling of the procedure, but not a specific official outcome, unless expressly guaranteed in writing.
7. Confidentiality
Both parties treat confidential information and documents disclosed in the course of the cooperation as strictly confidential and use them solely for the purpose of performing the contract.
8. Governing law & jurisdiction
The law of the United Arab Emirates as applied in the Emirate of Dubai shall apply. The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with the business relationship shall be the competent courts in Dubai, UAE. Mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the country in which a client has their habitual residence as a consumer remain unaffected.
9. Final provisions
Should individual provisions of these Terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. Amendments and supplements must be made in text form. For questions about these terms, you can reach us at info@firstgatedubai.com.
