Website Terms and Conditions of Use

Version 1.0 · Last updated: July 2026 · Applies to: www.aylaadvisory.com

1. These terms and who we are

These terms and conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website at www.aylaadvisory.com (the “Website”). The Website is operated by Ayla Advisory Ltd, Registered No. 39139, registered in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), Abu Dhabi, UAE, with registered office at Office 2312-A-D28, 23rd Floor, Addax Port Office Tower, Al Rayfah Street, Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (“Ayla”, “we”, “us”, “our”).

By accessing or using the Website you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to them, please do not use the Website. We recommend you save or print a copy for your records.

Our Privacy Notice and Cookie Policy, available on the Website, explain how we handle personal data and cookies. They form part of the framework governing your use of the Website and should be read alongside these Terms.

2. What the Website is for — and what it is not

The Website provides information about Ayla and the data protection, privacy and regulatory compliance advisory services we offer to business clients.

Content on the Website — including articles, insights, guides, templates, checklists and commentary — is provided for general information only. It is not, and is not intended to be, legal advice, regulatory advice, or advice of any other kind on which you should rely. Data protection and regulatory requirements depend on the specific facts, jurisdiction and circumstances of each organisation. You should obtain advice specific to your situation before acting, or refraining from acting, on anything you read on the Website.

No client, advisory or professional relationship is created between you and Ayla by your use of the Website, by contacting us, or by our responding to an enquiry. A client relationship is established only when both parties have signed a written engagement letter or services agreement, and our services are then governed exclusively by the terms of that engagement — not by these Terms.

3. Changes to these Terms and to the Website

We may amend these Terms from time to time. The version and date at the top of this page tell you when they were last updated, and the amended Terms apply from the moment they are posted. Please check this page each time you use the Website so that you are aware of the terms that apply at that time.

We may update, change, suspend or withdraw all or any part of the Website at any time and without notice, including where we need to do so for legal, security or operational reasons. We do not guarantee that the Website, or any content on it, will always be available, uninterrupted or free from errors.

4. Using the Website

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes. You agree not to:

use the Website in any way that breaches any applicable law or regulation, or that is fraudulent or has any fraudulent purpose or effect;
attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, the servers on which it is hosted, or any connected system, network or database;
introduce viruses, trojans, worms, logic bombs or other material that is malicious or technologically harmful, or carry out denial-of-service or similar attacks;
scrape, harvest, mine or systematically extract data or content from the Website, whether manually or by automated means (including for the training of machine-learning or artificial-intelligence models), without our prior written consent;
misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or impersonate Ayla or any of its personnel;
reproduce, duplicate, copy or re-sell any part of the Website in contravention of these Terms.

We may prevent or suspend your access to the Website if you do not comply with these Terms or any applicable law, and we may report unlawful activity to the relevant authorities and cooperate with them, including by disclosing your identity where lawfully required.

5. Intellectual property

We are the owner or licensee of all intellectual property rights in the Website and in the material published on it, including text, articles, guides, graphics, logos, branding, page design and underlying code. All such rights are reserved.

You may view, download and print pages or extracts from the Website for your own internal business use, provided that you do not modify them, you keep all copyright and proprietary notices intact, and you always acknowledge Ayla as the source. You must not use any part of the content on the Website for commercial purposes — including republication, redistribution or incorporation into paid products or services — without a licence from us.

The Ayla Advisory name and logo may not be used without our prior written consent. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right or licence in respect of them.

6. Information you send us

If you submit an enquiry, subscribe to updates or otherwise send us information through the Website:

you confirm that the information is accurate and that you are entitled to provide it;
you must not send us confidential or sensitive information about your organisation or any individual until we have confirmed an engagement and appropriate arrangements are in place — unsolicited information is not protected by any duty arising from a client relationship, although we will always handle personal data in accordance with our Privacy Notice;
you grant us permission to use your enquiry to respond to you, assess whether we can act, and maintain our business records.

7. Links

Where the Website contains links to third-party websites or resources, these are provided for your information only. We have no control over, and accept no responsibility for, the content of those sites or resources, and a link does not imply endorsement. Your use of a third-party site is governed by its own terms and privacy policy.

You may link to our home page, provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage or take advantage of our reputation, and does not suggest any form of association, approval or endorsement where none exists. We reserve the right to withdraw linking permission without notice.

8. No warranties

The Website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. While we take reasonable care to keep the content accurate and up to date, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content is accurate, complete, up to date or suitable for any particular purpose. Regulatory positions change; content that was accurate when published may become outdated.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all conditions, warranties, representations and other terms which might otherwise be implied by statute, common law or otherwise in relation to the Website and its content.

9. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.

Subject to that, and given that the Website is provided free of charge for general information:

we exclude all liability for any loss or damage, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Website, or your use of or reliance on any content on it;
in particular, we will not be liable for loss of profits, sales, business or revenue; business interruption; loss of anticipated savings; loss of business opportunity, goodwill or reputation; loss or corruption of data; or any indirect or consequential loss;
we will not be liable for loss or damage caused by a virus, denial-of-service attack or other technologically harmful material that may infect your systems due to your use of the Website or your downloading of any content from it, or from any website linked to it. You are responsible for your own virus protection.

The Website is directed at business users. If, exceptionally, you use the Website as a consumer, nothing in these Terms affects any statutory rights you have that cannot lawfully be excluded.

For the avoidance of doubt, this section applies to use of the Website only. Liability in respect of professional services we provide to clients is governed solely by the relevant engagement letter or services agreement.

10. Indemnity

If you use the Website in the course of a business, you agree to indemnify us against any losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) we incur arising out of your breach of these Terms or your unlawful use of the Website.

11. General

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
No waiver. If we do not insist on strict performance of any obligation, or delay in enforcing a right, that is not a waiver of our rights.
Assignment. These Terms are personal to you; you may not assign or transfer your rights under them. We may transfer our rights and obligations to a successor of our business on notice via the Website.
Third-party rights. These Terms do not give rise to any rights for third parties, including under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Notice and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding use of the Website.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms, their subject matter and formation, and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction — except that nothing in this clause deprives you of the protection of any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you are resident, or prevents us from bringing proceedings to protect our intellectual property rights in any competent jurisdiction.
