RYRLegal
Terms of use.
Plain terms for using this site: what our published analysis is, what it is not, and the law that governs it.
These terms of use govern your use of RYR.ae, the informational website of our advisory practice serving the UAE and GCC. By reading or relying on the material here, you accept the terms set out below.
Informational, not advice
The insights, frameworks, and standards commentary on this site are general guidance for a board-level audience. They are not legal, regulatory, or technical advice for your specific circumstances, and they are not a substitute for a formal advisory engagement. Reading this site creates no client relationship; a relationship begins only under a written agreement between us.
Standards and frameworks
Where we reference standards and frameworks such as ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 27001, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, or the EU AI Act, we do so for explanation only. The authoritative source is always the standard or regulation itself and its issuing body. How any requirement applies to your organisation depends on your context and should be confirmed through engagement.
Intellectual property
The content, wording, and design of this site are the property of RYR unless stated otherwise. You are welcome to read and to share brief extracts with attribution and a link. Republishing, reselling, or presenting the material as your own is not permitted without our written consent.
No warranty
This site is provided on an "as is" basis. Standards evolve and regulations change, and while we take care to be accurate, we make no warranty that the material is complete, current, or fit for any particular purpose. You rely on it at your own discretion.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, RYR is not liable for any loss arising from decisions taken on the basis of this website alone. Decisions with regulatory, security, or commercial consequences should be taken under a formal engagement, not from general reading.
External links
The site may link to external sources, standards bodies, or our own channels on platforms such as LinkedIn and WhatsApp. We are not responsible for the content or practices of sites we do not operate.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates, and any dispute relating to this site falls under the jurisdiction of the competent courts of the UAE.

Questions about these terms can reach us through any of the channels on our contact page — email, WhatsApp, phone, or LinkedIn.
