if the Provider rejects the Service request, Dobrh will return the payment to the Client immediately. For more details, please refer to the Buyers Policy; and
any additional fees incurred at the time of delivery, including but not limited to customs duties, import taxes, or local shipping surcharges, are the sole responsibility of the Client. These charges are not covered by the Platform and must be settled directly with the applicable authority or courier Service.
To the extent the Client or the Provider provides Confidential Information to the other, the recipient will protect the secrecy of the discloser’s Confidential Information with the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than due care, and will: (a) not disclose or permit others to disclose another’s Confidential Information to anyone without first obtaining the express written consent of the owner of the Confidential Information; (b) not use or permit the use of another’s Confidential Information, except as necessary for the provision of the Goods or performance of the Services (including, without limitation, the storage or transmission of Confidential Information on or through the Platform for use by Provider); and (c) limit access to another’s Confidential Information to its personnel who need to know such information for the provision of the Goods or the performance of the Services;
If and when Confidential Information is no longer needed for the performance of the provision of the Goods or the performance of the Services or at Client’s or Provider’s written request (which may be made at any time at the Client’s or the Provider’s sole discretion), the Party that received Confidential Information, will, at its expense, promptly destroy or return the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and any copies thereof contained in or on its premises, systems, or any other equipment otherwise under its control. The Party that received Confidential Information agrees to provide written certification to the Party disclosing the Confidential Information of compliance with this subsection within 7 days after the receipt of the disclosing Party’s written request for such certification; and
As used herein, Confidential Information means all information, in whatever form:
relating to the parties, including business transactions, customers, suppliers, commercial or financial arrangements (including operations, product information, Intellectual Property Rights, and the Service) of the parties, of which a Party becomes aware in its capacity as a Party to this Dobrh Agreement from any other Party which is either marked as "confidential" or by its nature is intended to be for the knowledge of the other Party, or that would be regarded as confidential by a reasonable business person,
but does not include information that:
is public or which is made public by or with the consent of the Parties;
The Provider Represents and Warrants that:
all or any Intellectual Property Rights created by the Provider in the course of the Service will be and automatically become the exclusive property of the Client, and the Provider will, at the request and expense of the Client, execute all such documents and do or refrain from doing such things as may be required by the Client in order to vest the right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property Rights in the Client and the Provider hereby irrevocably appoints any representative for the time being of the Client to be the Provider’s authorized attorney to do all such things and to execute all such documents in the Provider’s name and on the Provider’s behalf as may be reasonably necessary to secure that the full benefit of the Intellectual Property Rights is obtained by the Client;
the Provider hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives in favor of the Client, any Associated Client, and its executives any author’s rights under UAE Federal Law for Copyrights No. 7 of 2002 (or any other applicable laws) or any moral right or other similar rights available in any part of the world in relation to all or any Intellectual Property Rights created by the Provider in the Service;
the Provider shall provide to the Client all reasonable assistance with any proceedings, which may be brought by or against the Client against or by any third party relating to the Intellectual Property Rights of the Client; and
the Provider agrees to do such acts and execute such documents as the Client may reasonably require to vest in or confirm to the Client or (as appropriate) its successors in title and licensees the copyright and all other rights assigned or granted or purported to be assigned or granted by the Provider to the Client under this agreement. The Client shall pay the Provider for reasonable costs incurred by them in doing so.
For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of these Transaction Terms will remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding that after any relevant intellectual property has been made or originated by the Provider, the Service may have terminated for any reason.

The parties acknowledge and agree that they have entered into the Dobrh Agreement entirely at their own risk. Neither Party nor any of their respective affiliates, agents, officers, employees, suppliers, or licensors will be liable to the other Party or anyone else for any:
Subject as provided below, each Party (the Indemnifying Party) shall indemnify the other party (the Indemnified Party) in full in respect of any liability incurred by Indemnified Party for any loss, cost, damage, or expense howsoever caused, or suffered by the Indemnified Party as a result of the Indemnifying Party’s breach of these Terms or any Dobrh Agreement. Where the Indemnifying Party uses the Platform inappropriately or maliciously or breaches the terms of any Dobrh Agreement, the Indemnifying Party agrees that it will indemnify the Indemnified Party against any losses suffered by it or any third parties as a result of or in connection with such use.
A Party’s total liability in connection with these Terms, any Dobrh Agreement, and any Service shall not exceed the Service Price. All exclusions and limitations of liability set out in these Terms shall apply to the fullest extent permissible under the applicable law.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that Dobrh, as a Platform, will not be held liable for any liabilities arising out of the negligence between the Client and the Provider. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that Dobrh does not provide any warranties or guarantees as to the quality of the Goods and Services offered by Providers on the Platform, nor does Dobrh endorse or validate the representations or recommendations of any Provider or Client on the Platform. In the event of any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the Goods and Services provided through the Platform, the Parties agree to hold Dobrh harmless from any such dispute or claim. Dobrh may take action to suspend or terminate the account of any Provider or Client who engages in any fraudulent, illegal, or unethical activities on the Platform or who otherwise breaches the terms of any Dobrh Agreement.
Either Client or Provider has the right to terminate a Dobrh Agreement at any time with the consent of the other Party on completion of the agreed Service or in the event of a material breach. Except as required by law or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Parties, the Client remains obligated to pay the Provider the agreed Service Price (or a pro-rata portion thereof) for any Goods and Services provided prior to termination of the Dobrh Agreement.
It remains the Client’s responsibility to ensure that the Service provided by the Provider complies with the terms of the relevant Dobrh Agreement. The Client does not have the right to recover any portion of the Service Price already paid to the Provider.
All restrictions and all disclaimers and exclusions and limitations of liability, and any other section that expressly or by its nature contemplates performance after the termination of this Dobrh Agreement, will continue to apply during suspension and will survive any termination.
If any clause or part of any clause of this Dobrh Agreement is found to be void, unenforceable, or invalid, then it will be severed from this Dobrh Agreement, leaving the remainder in full force and effect, provided that the severance has not altered the basic nature of this Dobrh Agreement;
No single or partial exercise, or failure or delay in exercising any right, power, or remedy by Party shall constitute a waiver by such Party of, or impair or preclude any further exercise of, that or any right, power, or remedy arising under this Dobrh Agreement or otherwise;
All disclaimers, indemnities, and exclusions in these Terms shall survive termination of the Dobrh Agreement;
This Dobrh Agreement and the documents referred to in it set out the entire agreement between the Provider and the Client with respect to the relevant Goods or Services specified in the Dobrh Agreement and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous representations, communications, or agreements made between the Provider and the Client;
Each Party agrees that the other Party will not be responsible for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Dobrh Agreement for a reasonable period due to labor disturbances, accidents, fires, floods, pandemics, telecommunications, internet failures, strikes, wars, riots, rebellions, terrorism, blockages, acts of government, governmental requirements and regulations or restriction imposed by law or any other similar event beyond the parties’ reasonable control;
The relationship between the Provider and the Client is restricted to this Dobrh Agreement, it being understood that each party is acting as an independent contractor for its own risk and account. Entering into the Dobrh Agreement does not establish a joint venture, licensing, agency, or partnership relationship between the Provider and the Client, nor does it create an employer/employee relationship; and
This Dobrh Agreement, together with the documents referred to in it and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them, shall be governed by the laws of the Abu Dhabi Global Market. You irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Abu Dhabi Global Market Courts over any claim or matter arising under or in connection with this Dobrh Agreement, and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Abu Dhabi Global Market Courts in connection with the same.
This Agreement is intended to supplement, and shall in no way be construed as superseding or overriding, the official policies and governing documents of the Dobrh Platform, including but not limited to the User Terms, Provider Code of Conduct, Return Policy, and Buyers Policy. All such Platform policies shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply concurrently with the terms set forth herein. In the event of any inconsistency, contradiction, or conflict between this Agreement and any applicable Platform policy, the terms of the Platform policy shall take precedence unless expressly and mutually agreed to in a written instrument signed by both Parties. No verbal or informal arrangements shall be deemed to alter this hierarchy of authority.
