Effective Date: August 9, 2025

1. Introduction

The Emirates Insider (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using our website (the “Site”) that are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent, identified in the sample notice below.

This DMCA Policy applies to all users of the Site, including but not limited to contributors, commenters, and visitors.

2. Designated Copyright Agent

We have designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement. If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible via the Site, please notify our copyright agent as set forth below.

Designated Agent: Copyright Compliance Department Website: The Emirates Insider Email: dmca@xdukes.com Mailing Address: [Your Business Address – e.g., 123 Luxury Lane, Dubai, UAE – Placeholder]

Please note that this contact information is for copyright infringement notices only. For all other inquiries, please refer to our Contact Us page.

3. Infringement Notification

To be effective, the notification must be a written communication that includes the following:

  1. a) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. b) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
  3. c) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material. Providing URLs in the body of an email is the best way to help us locate content quickly.
  4. d) Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
  5. e) A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. f) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SECTION MAY MAKE YOUR DMCA NOTICE INVALID.

Upon receipt of a valid infringement notification, we will take whatever action, in our sole discretion, we deem appropriate, including removal of the challenged material from the Site.

4. Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your content, you may send a counter-notification containing the following information to our Copyright Agent:

  1. a) Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. b) Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled.

c) A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content.d) Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the judicial district where your address is located (or if you are outside the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notification is received by the Copyright Agent, we may send a copy of the counter-notification to the original complaining party informing that person that we may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notification, at our sole discretion.

5. Policy on Repeat Infringers

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also at our sole discretion limit access to the Site and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

6. Disclaimer

We are not your legal advisors. If you are not sure whether material on our Site infringes your copyright, we recommend that you contact an attorney before sending us a notice.
