Terms & Conditions

1. Scope of Agreement & Engagement

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern the provision of architectural concept design, spatial planning, 3D visualization, statutory municipal approvals, MEP engineering coordination, and turnkey interior fit-out contracting services by Aura Prime Architecture & Fit-Out LLC (“Aura Prime”) to clients (“Client”).

Execution of an official Proposal, Fee Schedule, or Turnkey Contract constitutes irrevocable acceptance of these Terms, which shall supersede all prior verbal or written understandings.

2. Architectural Intellectual Property & Copyright

All original architectural concepts, 3D photorealistic renderings, spatial layouts, joinery shop drawings, BIM models, and custom fixture designs developed by Aura Prime remain the exclusive intellectual property and copyright of Aura Prime pursuant to UAE Federal Law No. 38 of 2021 on Copyrights and Neighboring Rights.

• Grant of License: Upon full and final settlement of all design fees, the Client is granted a non-transferable, irrevocable license to execute the design exclusively at the designated project address.
• Restrictions: Drawings and bespoke concepts may not be replicated, sold, sub-licensed, or transferred for construction at alternative sites without explicit written authorization from Aura Prime.

3. Milestone Payments & Financial Protocols

Project delivery is structured around verified stage gates and milestones:

All invoices are subject to 5% UAE Value Added Tax (VAT) in compliance with Federal Tax Authority (FTA) mandates. Invoices are payable within fourteen (14) calendar days of issuance.

4. Statutory Authority Approvals & NOCs

While Aura Prime exercises expert diligence in preparing and submitting drawings to Dubai Municipality, Civil Defence, Trakhees, DDA, DEWA, and master developers, the statutory granting of permits and NOCs remains within the sole discretionary authority of said governing bodies. Aura Prime shall not be held liable for administrative timeline extensions imposed by governmental authorities that fall outside normal statutory SLAs.

5. Variation Orders & Scope Modifications

Any modifications to the approved schematic design, material selections, structural dimensions, or lighting layouts requested by the Client post-freezing of shop drawings shall be documented via a formal Variation Order (VO). Variation Orders will specify the cost adjustment and timeline extension, requiring Client written approval prior to execution.

6. Warranties & Defect Liability Period (DLP)

Aura Prime provides a comprehensive twelve (12) month Defect Liability Period (DLP) covering all on-site fit-out workmanship, custom joinery mechanics, and internal MEP installations from the date of final Building Completion Certificate (BCC) issuance. Decennial liability for structural integrity is upheld pursuant to UAE Civil Code Article 880.

7. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms and all associated contracts shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the Emirate of Dubai and the Federal Laws of the United Arab Emirates. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms that cannot be amicably settled within thirty (30) days of formal notice shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Dubai or, where agreed by contract, arbitration under the rules of the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC).
