Terms of Service

Last updated: May 2026

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using the Aqaris platform, website, or any associated services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, in which case "you" refers to that entity.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service. Continued use of the Service after any changes to these Terms constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Description of service

Aqaris provides a cloud-based property management platform designed for property managers, community management companies (CMCs), owners' associations, developers, landlords, and other real estate professionals operating in the United Arab Emirates and the broader GCC region (the "Platform").

The Platform includes features for lease and tenancy management, service charge administration (including Mollak compliance), accounting and financial reporting, maintenance management, owner and resident portals, and related services. The specific features available to you depend on your subscription plan.

Aqaris is a pre-launch product currently in active development. Features, interfaces, and availability may change. We will communicate material changes in advance where reasonably practicable.

3. Eligibility

To use the Service, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater.
  • Have the legal authority to enter into a binding contract under the laws of the UAE or your applicable jurisdiction.
  • Not be prohibited from receiving services under applicable law, including UAE Federal laws and Dubai-specific regulations.
  • Use the Service for lawful business purposes related to real estate and property management.

4. Accounts

You must create an account to access most features of the Service. When registering, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You must notify us immediately at hello@aqaris.ae if you suspect any unauthorised access to your account. Aqaris is not liable for any loss arising from unauthorised use of your account where you have failed to keep your credentials secure.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, are inactive for an extended period, or are associated with fraudulent activity.

6. Intellectual property

The Aqaris Platform, including its software, design, user interface, brand, trademarks, logos, and all content created by Aqaris, is owned by Aqaris and its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights in the Service.

You retain ownership of all data and content you upload or create within the Platform ("Customer Data"). By uploading Customer Data, you grant Aqaris a limited, non-exclusive licence to process, store, and display that data solely to provide the Service to you. We do not sell, share, or use Customer Data for purposes other than operating and improving the Service.

7. Third-party services

The Service integrates with or relies on certain third-party services, including:

  • Formspree — used to process contact and demo request form submissions on this website.
  • Payment gateways — the Platform-level product integrates with payment processors including Telr, PayTabs, Noqoodi, and Stripe to facilitate rent collection, service charge payments, and other financial transactions. Aqaris does not store raw card numbers; payment data is handled directly by these PCI-DSS certified processors.
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS) — cloud infrastructure provider. Customer data is hosted in the AWS UAE region (me-central-1).

Your use of third-party services is subject to those services' own terms and privacy policies. Aqaris is not responsible for the conduct of third-party service providers, except to the extent of our contractual obligations to you.

8. Data and privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in the Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for ensuring that any personal data you upload about tenants, owners, or other third parties is collected and processed in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data Protection.
