PBD.ae Developer Terms

Version 1.0, effective 12 November 2026. These are the terms a developer accepts when it creates or claims an account on PBD.ae.

1. Who we are and what PBD is

1. PBD.ae ("PBD", "we", "us") is operated by PBD Holding Ltd., a company registered in Cyprus. "You" means the property developer company that opens or claims an account, and everyone who uses the account on its behalf.
2. PBD is an online advertising platform. It shows your projects to buyers and passes their enquiries to you.
3. PBD is not a real estate broker or agent. We do not negotiate, take part in, or guarantee any sale. We do not handle deposits, escrow or payments between you and buyers.
4. PBD never charges you or buyers a commission or a share of any sale price.
5. By ticking "I accept" when you sign up or claim a project, you agree to these terms on behalf of your company. You confirm that you have the authority to do so.

2. Your account

1. Only property developers registered with the Dubai Land Department and RERA may hold an account. You must give us your trade licence and RERA developer registration, and keep them valid.
2. We check these documents before your account is verified. We may refuse or remove an account at our discretion.
3. You decide who on your team can use the account. You are responsible for everything done through it, including by agents you invite.
4. Keep access to your team's email addresses secure. Tell us at once at developers@pbd.ae if you think someone has misused your account.
5. If PBD staff publish or edit listings for you at your request ("we publish for you"), you remain responsible for checking and approving that content.

3. Your listings

1. You are solely responsible for your listings: prices, availability, sizes, payment plans, handover dates, floor plans, brochures, permits and every other statement about your projects.
2. Listings must be accurate, up to date and lawful. Keep prices and availability current, and remove units that are sold or withdrawn.
3. Every listing must carry a valid DLD project permit number and any advertising permit that Dubai rules require (including Trakheesi permits where applicable). You confirm that publishing each listing on PBD complies with those rules.
4. You must not list resale units, projects you do not develop, or misleading offers.
5. We may review, edit for format, translate, refuse, hide or remove any listing at any time, for example if a permit cannot be verified or a buyer reports a problem.
6. If you take part in PBD's Founding Developer programme, you agree that the price shown on PBD is the lowest price you offer for that unit, including through brokers.

4. Permission to use your materials

1. "Materials" means everything you or we upload for your projects: photos, renders, videos, floor plans, brochures, descriptions, logos, names and trademarks.
2. You give PBD a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, copy, store, display, publish, resize, crop, reformat, compress and translate the Materials, to show and promote your projects. This includes:
   1. pages on PBD.ae in every language we offer, including automatic translations;
   2. PBD's emails and newsletters to buyers who asked for them;
   3. PBD's social media accounts, online ads and search engine listings;
   4. presentations and press material about PBD.
3. You also allow us to name you and show your logo as a developer on PBD, including in PBD's own marketing.
4. We may let our hosting, storage and delivery providers process the Materials only to run PBD.
5. You confirm that you own the Materials or have the rights to grant this licence, including permission from photographers, agencies and any people shown.
6. The licence ends when you remove the Materials or close your account. We will stop new use within 30 days. Ads, posts and newsletters already published may stay as they are, and we may keep archive copies as records.
7. You keep all ownership of your Materials. Nothing in these terms transfers it to us.

5. Buyer enquiries and personal data

1. When a buyer asks to see your contact, sends a message or requests a call back, we pass you their name, email and (if given) phone, with their consent.
2. You may use these details only to answer that buyer about your projects. You must not sell or share them, or add the buyer to marketing lists without the buyer's separate consent.
3. You are responsible for buyer data from the moment you receive it. You must handle it under the data protection laws that apply, including the UAE Personal Data Protection Law and, where it applies, the EU GDPR.
4. If a buyer asks you to stop contacting them or to delete their data, you must do so.
5. Reply to enquiries promptly. We aim for a reply within one working day, and we may show response times to buyers.
6. PBD handles the personal data of buyers and of your team under the EU GDPR. Questions about it go to developers@pbd.ae.

6. Telling us about sales from PBD buyers

1. If a buyer who contacted you through PBD, or who tells you they found you on PBD, books or buys a unit, you agree to tell us within 14 days.
2. Tell us through the lead in your PBD portal or by email to developers@pbd.ae. Include the project, the unit type and the date. You do not have to share the price or the buyer's details beyond what PBD already holds.
3. We use these reports only to measure how well PBD works: for your own statistics, our overall reporting and improving the service. We may publish totals that do not identify you or any buyer.
4. This duty is for reporting only. No fee, commission or other payment is due to PBD because of any sale.

7. Fees

1. Listing on PBD is currently free.
2. We may introduce paid plans or services, such as a monthly subscription or featured placements. We will give you at least 30 days' notice by email. Paid services apply only if you choose them.
3. Any fees will be fixed amounts for advertising services. They will never depend on whether, or for how much, a unit is sold.
4. Buyers never pay PBD.

8. No liability, disclaimer and indemnity

1. PBD is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not promise any number of views, enquiries or sales, or that the site will always be available or free of errors.
2. We are not responsible for buyers' actions, statements, payments or decisions, or for any dealings, contracts or disputes between you and a buyer.
3. We are not responsible for errors in automatic translations. The English version of your listing is the one that counts.
4. To the fullest extent the law allows, PBD and its owners, staff and suppliers are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, sales, business, data or reputation.
5. To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability to you for all claims is limited to the greater of the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and AED 1,000.
6. Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.
7. You will indemnify PBD against claims, losses, fines and reasonable legal costs caused by your listings or Materials, your breach of these terms or the law, or your handling of buyer data.

9. Suspension, ending the agreement and general terms

1. Suspension. We may hide your listings or suspend your account straight away if a permit or licence lapses, a listing appears false or unlawful, buyers complain of misconduct, or you break these terms.
2. Ending. You can close your account at any time by emailing developers@pbd.ae. We can end this agreement with 30 days' notice, or at once for a serious breach. Sections 4.6, 5, 6 (for sales already made), 8 and 9 continue after it ends.
3. Public facts. Before and after you hold an account, PBD may show basic public facts about your projects (name, developer, area, handover and permit numbers) from public sources, marked as not confirmed by you.
4. Confidentiality. Your statistics and reports on PBD are confidential. We share them only in totals that do not identify you, or as the law requires.
5. Changes. We may update these terms. We will email you at least 30 days before a material change takes effect. If you keep using PBD after that, the new terms apply.
6. Law and courts. These terms are governed by the laws of the Emirate of Dubai and the federal laws of the UAE. The courts of Dubai have exclusive jurisdiction.
7. Language. These terms may be translated. The English version prevails.
8. General. These terms are the whole agreement between us about PBD. You may not transfer them without our written consent. We may transfer them to a company that takes over PBD. If any part is found invalid, the rest still applies. Notices to us go to developers@pbd.ae; notices to you go to your account admin's email.
