Disclaimer of Warranties
The Site and Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, NavGeo disclaims all warranties—express, implied, statutory, or otherwise—including warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted operation, and freedom from errors or harmful components.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, NavGeo, its directors, employees, and contractors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages (including loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill) arising out of or relating to the Site or Services, even if advised of the possibility. Our aggregate liability in any 12-month period is limited to the fees you paid to NavGeo for the specific project giving rise to the claim.

- Either party may terminate a project SOW for material breach that remains uncured after 15 days’ written notice.

Force Majeure
NavGeo is not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of government, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, or disruptions of telecommunications or power.
Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Emirate of Dubai and the federal laws of the United Arab Emirates, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute not resolved amicably within 30 days shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Dubai Courts.
Dispute Resolution (Optional Mediation)
Before initiating court proceedings, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve disputes via mediation at the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC). Participation in mediation is voluntary and does not affect either party’s right to pursue legal remedies.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remainder will remain in full force, and an enforceable term will be substituted to reflect the original intent as closely as possible.
Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any SOW, constitute the entire agreement between you and NavGeo regarding the Site and Services, superseding all prior agreements, proposals, or communications.
Waiver
No failure or delay by NavGeo in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of that right or remedy.
Assignment
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. NavGeo may assign its rights and obligations to an affiliate or successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
