Terms of Use
1. Introduction
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the website operated by MDL Advisers FZCO.
By accessing, browsing or using this website, you confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms of Use.
If you do not agree with these terms, please discontinue your use of the website.
These Terms of Use should be read together with our:
- Privacy Policy;
- Cookie Policy;
- any additional notices or terms displayed on specific pages of the website.

MDL Advisers provides professional services relating to corporate structuring, company formation, accounting, bookkeeping, taxation, executive search and related business matters.
Certain regulated or specialised services may be provided by an appropriately licensed affiliated company, professional partner or adviser identified in the relevant proposal, engagement letter or service agreement.
3. Purpose of This Website
This website is intended to:
- provide information about MDL Advisers and its professional services;
- publish professional insights, regulatory updates and practical guidance;
- enable visitors to contact our team;
- allow prospective clients to request information or a consultation;
- provide access to our contact details and business information.
The website is not an online marketplace or self-service professional advisory platform unless expressly stated otherwise.
No service is purchased, commissioned or formally provided solely by browsing this website or submitting a general enquiry.
4. Professional Content and Guidance
Necessary cookies
Articles, guides, regulatory updates and other materials published on this website are prepared to provide professional guidance on business, corporate, legal, accounting, tax and recruitment matters.
We aim to ensure that our content is relevant, accurate and based on the laws, regulations and professional practices applicable at the date of publication.
However:
- laws, regulations and administrative practices may change;
- official interpretations may develop after publication;
- professional outcomes depend on the facts and circumstances of each matter;
- a general article cannot address every commercial, legal, tax or accounting consideration relevant to a particular person or business.
Website content should therefore be considered general professional guidance rather than advice prepared specifically for your individual circumstances.
Before taking or refraining from action in reliance on website content, you should request advice based on your particular business structure, documents, objectives and regulatory position.
5. No Professional Engagement Through Website Use
Visiting the website, reading its content, subscribing to updates or submitting a contact form does not by itself:
- create a client, adviser, lawyer, accountant, recruiter or fiduciary relationship;
- constitute acceptance of an engagement by MDL Advisers or an affiliated professional firm;
- oblige us to provide any service;
- create a duty to act on your behalf;
- confirm that we are able to accept a particular matter;
- establish that no conflict of interest exists.
A formal professional relationship begins only when the relevant service provider has completed any required onboarding, compliance and conflict checks and the parties have agreed to written engagement terms.
Those engagement terms may include the scope of services, responsibilities, fees, payment terms, confidentiality provisions and limitations applicable to the particular engagement.
6. Contact Forms and Communications
You may use the website to submit an enquiry or request information about our services.
You agree that the information you provide will be:
- accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge;
- relevant to the purpose of your enquiry;
- submitted lawfully;
- free from malicious software, harmful code or unlawful material.
You should not send highly confidential, sensitive or legally privileged documents through the general contact form unless we have specifically requested them through an approved communication channel.
Submitting an enquiry does not guarantee a response within a particular period, although we aim to respond to genuine business enquiries promptly.
Electronic communications may be affected by delays, interception, transmission errors, technical failures or security risks. Urgent matters should also be communicated through an appropriate direct channel.
7. Availability of Services
Descriptions of services published on the website provide a general overview only.
The availability, scope, timing and price of a service may depend on factors including:
- the client’s requirements;
- the relevant jurisdiction or free zone;
- regulatory approvals;
- document availability;
- compliance and identity-verification checks;
- government and third-party processing times;
- the complexity of the proposed structure or transaction;
- the availability of suitably licensed professionals.
Website content does not constitute a binding offer to provide a service at a particular price, within a particular timeframe or with a guaranteed result.
Any binding scope, fee or delivery commitment will be contained in a separate written proposal, quotation, engagement letter or service agreement.
8. Regulatory and Third-Party Information
Some information published on the website may relate to:
