Property Listings

The Free Room platform allows users to advertise properties for rent (each a “Listing”).

  • Be the rightful owner or authorized agent to offer the property on your Listing.
  • Ensure your Listing adheres to our Acceptable Use Policy.
  • Provide a complete and accurate description of the property in your Listing.
  • Only advertise one property per Listing and refrain from offering multiple properties under a single post.
  • Post Listings in the appropriate category and section on the platform.
  • Avoid listing counterfeit or misleading properties, or those that infringe on third-party rights.
  • Not act as a third-party service offering to list properties on behalf of others without authorization.
  • Comply with all relevant laws and regulations governing property rentals.
  • Engage with Buyers in a fair and lawful manner.

If you are a Buyer, you must:

  • Ensure you have the legal right to enter into rental agreements for the properties listed.
  • Conduct all interactions with Sellers honestly and in good faith.

Free Room is Not Liable for Listings

You acknowledge and agree that Free Room is not obligated to monitor, approve, or moderate Listings or their content. We are not liable for the Listings posted on the platform.

When renting a property through the platform, you are engaging directly with the user who created the Listing, without any involvement from Free Room.

Although Free Room does not take responsibility for Listings, we retain the right to monitor and remove any Listing from the platform if, in our sole discretion, it violates these Terms of Use (including the Acceptable Use Policy).

Uploading Content to The Platform

Any content you upload to the platform, including as part of a Listing, will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary.

While you retain ownership of your content, you grant us and other users of the platform a limited license to use, store, and copy your content, as well as distribute it and share it with third parties. Specifically, you grant us a perpetual, global, non-exclusive, royalty-free, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works, and display or perform that content in connection with providing the services on the platform and promoting Free Room.

You are solely responsible for securing and backing up your content.

We reserve the right to disclose your identity to any third party who claims that any content you post or upload to the platform violates their intellectual property rights or privacy.

Additionally, we reserve the right to remove any content posted or uploaded by you to the platform, with or without notice, if we determine that it does not comply with these Terms of Use.

Acceptable Use Policy

You warrant that any content you submit adheres to these standards, and you will be held responsible for any breach of this warranty. This means that you will be liable for any loss or damage we incur as a result of your failure to comply with the Acceptable Use Policy.

Processing Payments

In some cases, Free Room may collect payments through the platform, such as when you opt to purchase Paid Services.

When you provide your payment details at checkout, you authorize us (through our selected payment processor) to charge the provided payment method for the amount displayed at checkout.

We will not be held liable for any losses you experience due to insufficient funds or any issues with your payment method failing to cover the full payment value.

Subject to the above, our liability to you is limited as follows:

We exclude all implied conditions, warranties, representations, or other terms that may apply to the Platform or any of its content. We will not be liable for any loss or damage, whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, even if foreseeable, in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Platform, or your reliance on any content.

You agree not to use the Platform for any commercial or business purposes, and we bear no liability for any loss of profit, business loss, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity. If we fail to comply with these Terms of Use, we are only responsible for loss or damage that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or failure to act with reasonable care and skill.

In no event shall Free Room’s liability to you in connection with your use of the Platform or these Terms of Use exceed the greater of:

(i) the amount you paid for the Paid Service that is the subject of the relevant dispute or claim (if applicable)

 (ii) one thousand UAE Dirhams (AED 1,000).

General Terms of Use

Links to Third-Party Sites or Content
The Platform may contain links to external websites or third-party content (including Listings) for your convenience and information.

We do not control the content of these third-party sites and disclaim all liability regarding them.

Rules About Linking to the Platform

You are permitted to link to any page of the Platform or specific content, provided that such linking is done fairly and legally, without harming our reputation or exploiting it. The Platform must not be framed within any other site. You must not create a link that suggests any form of association, approval, or endorsement from us where none exists.

Virus Responsibility

We do not guarantee that the Platform and its content will be secure or free from bugs or viruses. You are responsible for ensuring your device is set up to access the Platform safely, including using your own antivirus software when appropriate.

Liability for Uncontrollable Events

We will not be held liable for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, our obligations caused by events beyond our reasonable control (referred to as “Force Majeure Events”). Such events include any act, occurrence, omission, or accident beyond our control. Our obligations under these Terms of Use will be suspended for the duration of any Force Majeure Event, and we will have additional time to fulfill our responsibilities. We will make reasonable efforts to resolve the Force Majeure Event and continue our obligations under these Terms.

Other Agreements with Free Room

We reserve the right to transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms of Use to another organization. Should this occur, we will notify you in writing, ensuring that your rights under these Terms remain unaffected.

No Third-Party Rights

These Terms of Use are solely between you and Free Room, and no other individual or entity will have any rights to enforce or rely on any provisions contained herein.

Enforcement of Rights

If we do not immediately enforce our rights under these Terms of Use, it does not mean that we waive our right to do so in the future. Delaying action against a breach does not prevent us from taking further steps later.

Severability

If any part of these Terms of Use is found to be illegal by a court, the remainder will continue to be valid and enforceable. Each section of these Terms operates independently, and if any section is deemed unlawful, the other sections will remain in full effect.

Accessing the Platform from Other Territories

The Platform is intended for individuals residing in specific territories. We cannot guarantee that the content available on the Platform is appropriate or compliant with laws in locations where we do not explicitly operate.

Language

If these Terms of Use are translated into another language, the English version will prevail in case of any discrepancies between the two.

Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute with Free Room, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly at info@freeroom.ae to seek a resolution. We will review your complaint and make every effort to address it. If we cannot resolve the dispute amicably, these Terms of Use, their subject matter, and formation (including any non-contractual disputes) will be governed by the laws of the Dubai International Financial Centre (“DIFC”). You agree that the DIFC courts will have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes or claims arising from your use of the Platform or these Terms, including those related to the validity or termination of these Terms or any contractual or non-contractual obligations.
