Last updated: 24 June 2026
These Terms & Conditions (the "Terms") are entered into between GOAT Technologies, a digital services studio established and operating in the Emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates (the "Company", "GOAT", "we", "us" or "our"), and any natural or juristic person who accesses this website or engages the Company's services (the "Client", "you" or "your"). These Terms are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the applicable laws of the United Arab Emirates, including in particular Federal Law No. (5) of 1985 promulgating the Civil Transactions Law (as amended), Federal Decree-Law No. (50) of 2022 promulgating the Commercial Transactions Law, and Federal Decree-Law No. (46) of 2021 on Electronic Transactions and Trust Services.
1.1 In these Terms, unless the context requires otherwise: "Agreement" means any proposal, quotation, statement of work, scope document, order form or contract executed or accepted in respect of a specific engagement; "Deliverables" means the final works, products or outputs the Company agrees to provide under an Agreement; "Services" means any services, works or deliverables provided or to be provided by the Company; "Intellectual Property Rights" means all copyrights, trademarks, design rights, database rights, trade secrets, know-how and other proprietary rights, whether registered or unregistered; and "Fees" means the amounts payable by the Client for the Services.
1.2 Words importing the singular include the plural and vice versa; references to a person include natural and juristic persons; and headings are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of these Terms.
1.3 Any reference to a UAE federal law, decree-law or cabinet decision is a reference to that instrument as amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to time.
2.1 By accessing this website, requesting a quotation, instructing the Company to commence work, paying any invoice or deposit, or otherwise engaging the Services (whether in writing, by electronic means, or by conduct), the Client acknowledges that it has read, understood and agreed to be bound by these Terms.
2.2 The Client warrants that it has the legal capacity and, where contracting on behalf of a company or other entity, the due authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
2.3 In accordance with Federal Decree-Law No. (46) of 2021 on Electronic Transactions and Trust Services, the parties agree that electronic communications, acceptances and records shall have the same legal effect as written and signed documents.
3.1 These Terms apply to every engagement between the parties. Where an executed Agreement for a specific engagement conflicts with these Terms, the executed Agreement shall prevail to the extent of that conflict and in respect of that engagement only.
3.2 Information, prices, timelines, descriptions and representations appearing on this website are provided for general information only, may be amended at any time without notice, and do not constitute a binding offer, warranty or guarantee.
4.1 Quotations are valid for thirty (30) days from issue unless stated otherwise and are based upon the requirements made known to the Company at the time of issue.
4.2 The Company's obligations are limited to the scope expressly set out in the Agreement. Any request falling outside that scope — including additional features, pages, deliverables, revision rounds beyond those agreed, expedited timelines, or changed requirements (a "Variation") — shall be subject to a separate written quotation and may affect the Fees and delivery schedule.
4.3 The Company shall be under no obligation to commence or continue work on any Variation until it has been agreed in writing and, where applicable, paid for.
5.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, an advance payment or deposit is payable prior to commencement of work; the balance is invoiced at the agreed milestones or upon completion; and all invoices are due and payable within the period stated on the invoice or, failing such statement, within seven (7) days of the invoice date.
5.2 Time for payment shall be of the essence. The Company reserves the right to suspend or cease the Services, withhold Deliverables, source files, credentials and access, and revoke any licence granted, until all sums due have been received in full and cleared.
5.3 All payments shall be made free of, and without deduction or set-off for, any counterclaim.
6.1 Without prejudice to its other rights, and to the extent permitted under the Commercial Transactions Law (Federal Decree-Law No. (50) of 2022) and the Civil Transactions Law, the Company may charge interest and/or a late-payment charge on overdue sums at a rate of up to two per cent (2%) per month, or part thereof, accruing from the due date until payment in full.
6.2 The Client shall be liable for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Company in recovering overdue amounts, including legal, court and collection fees.
6.3 Persistent or material non-payment shall constitute a material breach entitling the Company to suspend or terminate the engagement and to claim all sums due together with committed third-party costs.
7.1 All Fees are stated exclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT). VAT, where applicable, shall be charged in addition at the prevailing rate in accordance with Federal Decree-Law No. (8) of 2017 on Value Added Tax (as amended) and its Executive Regulation.
7.2 The Client shall bear all other taxes, levies, duties and charges arising in connection with the Services, save for taxes on the Company's net income. Where the Client is required by law to withhold any amount, the sum payable shall be grossed up so that the Company receives the amount it would have received absent such withholding.
8.1 The Client shall: provide accurate, complete and lawful information, content, brand assets, access credentials and approvals; respond to requests, proofs and queries within a reasonable time; designate an authorised representative empowered to give instructions and approvals; and discharge all third-party costs (including domains, hosting, licences and advertising spend) when due.
8.2 The Client warrants and represents that all materials it supplies are accurate and lawful and do not infringe any third party's Intellectual Property Rights, privacy or other rights, and do not contravene any applicable law, including Federal Decree-Law No. (34) of 2021 on Combating Rumours and Cybercrimes.
8.3 The Company shall not be liable for any delay, additional cost or deficiency in the Deliverables arising from the Client's failure to comply with this clause.
9.1 Deliverables are produced in accordance with the agreed brief and the agreed number of revision rounds. Any Deliverable approved by the Client, whether expressly or by the Client's failure to raise written objection within five (5) business days of delivery, shall be deemed accepted.
9.2 The Client is solely responsible for final proofreading and verification of all content prior to publication, deployment or printing. Corrections requested after acceptance shall be chargeable.
10.1 Any dates or timeframes provided by the Company are good-faith estimates only and are contingent upon the Client's timely cooperation and payment and upon the availability and stability of third-party platforms. Time shall not be of the essence in respect of delivery dates, and the Company shall not be liable for delays attributable to the Client, to third parties, or to events beyond its reasonable control.
11.1 All Intellectual Property Rights in pre-existing materials, tools, frameworks, code libraries, methodologies and know-how used by the Company in providing the Services shall remain the exclusive property of the Company or its licensors.
11.2 Subject to receipt of full payment of all sums due, the Company shall, upon completion, assign or grant to the Client a licence to use the final, paid-for Deliverables for their intended purpose, as specified in the Agreement. Until full payment is received, all Intellectual Property Rights in the work shall remain vested in the Company and no licence, express or implied, is granted.
11.3 The Company may retain copies of the work for its records and, unless otherwise agreed in writing, may display non-confidential work, the Client's name and logo, and results in its portfolio, case studies and marketing materials. Protection of works is recognised under Federal Decree-Law No. (38) of 2021 on Copyrights and Neighbouring Rights and Federal Law No. (36) of 2021 on Trademarks.
11.4 Third-party assets (including fonts, stock media, plugins and themes) remain subject to their respective licences, compliance with which is the Client's responsibility following delivery.
12.1 The Services may rely upon or integrate third-party platforms and providers, including hosting, domain registrars, payment gateways (such as Stripe), email and analytics tools, plugins and application programming interfaces. The use of such services is governed by the respective providers' own terms and pricing.
12.2 The Company exercises no control over, and accepts no liability for, the acts, omissions, availability, security, price changes, data practices or discontinuation of any third-party provider.
13.1 The outcomes of digital marketing, search engine optimisation, advertising, social media and similar Services depend upon numerous factors beyond the Company's control, including search-engine and platform algorithms, competition, market conditions and the Client's own offering.
13.2 The Company shall apply professional skill and reasonable endeavours but does not warrant or guarantee any specific ranking, traffic volume, number of leads, sales, revenue or other commercial result, and no such outcome shall be a condition of payment.
14.1 The Company warrants that the Services shall be performed with reasonable skill and care in a professional manner.
14.2 Save as expressly set out in these Terms, and to the maximum extent permitted by UAE law, the website, the Services and the Deliverables are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, and the Company disclaims all other warranties, conditions and representations, whether express or implied, including as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted or error-free operation, and non-infringement. The Company does not warrant that any software will be free of all defects or that the website will be uninterrupted or immune from every security threat.
15.1 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable UAE law, the Company shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, nor for any loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, data or anticipated savings, howsoever arising.
15.2 The aggregate liability of the Company arising out of or in connection with any engagement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), under statute or otherwise, shall not exceed the total Fees actually paid by the Client to the Company in respect of that engagement during the six (6) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
15.3 Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under UAE law, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
16.1 The Client shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its owners, officers, employees and subcontractors against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, fines, penalties and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) any content, data, materials or instructions provided by the Client; (b) any breach by the Client of these Terms or of any applicable law; (c) any infringement by the Client of a third party's rights; and (d) the Client's use or operation of the Deliverables following delivery.
17.1 Each party shall keep confidential all non-public information of the other party disclosed in connection with the engagement, shall use it solely for the purpose of performing its obligations, and shall protect it with no less than reasonable care.
17.2 This obligation shall not apply to information that is or becomes publicly available other than through breach of these Terms, or that is required to be disclosed by law or by a competent authority. This clause shall survive termination.
18.1 Each party shall comply with its respective obligations under Federal Decree-Law No. (45) of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (PDPL) and its implementing regulations in respect of any personal data processed in connection with the engagement.
18.2 The Company's processing of personal data is further described in its Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
19.1 During the term of any engagement and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, the Client shall not, without the Company's prior written consent, directly or indirectly solicit for employment or engagement any employee or subcontractor of the Company who was involved in the provision of the Services.
20.1 Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations (other than payment obligations) to the extent caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics, war, civil unrest, acts of government or regulatory authority, failures of power or telecommunications, or failures of third-party platforms. The affected obligations shall be suspended for the duration of the force majeure event.
21.1 The Company may suspend the Services or terminate the engagement immediately upon written notice if the Client fails to make payment when due, commits a material breach of these Terms or the Agreement, becomes insolvent or subject to bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings, or acts unlawfully.
21.2 Either party may otherwise terminate an engagement in accordance with the Agreement.
21.3 Upon termination, the Client shall pay for all Services performed and all costs and commitments incurred up to the effective date of termination.

23.1 Severability: if any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
23.2 Waiver: no failure or delay by the Company in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of that right.

23.4 Entire agreement: these Terms, together with the applicable Agreement and the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior discussions and understandings.
