These Terms & Conditions govern access to and use of www.cairnconsulting.ae and its pages, content, forms and related online features (the “Website”). Please read them carefully.
The Website is operated by Cairn Consultancy LLC, a consultancy based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates ("Cairn Consulting", “Cairn”, “we”, “us” or “our”). Cairn provides multidisciplinary services that may include aviation advisory, architecture and engineering, retail design and delivery, project and operational consultancy, media and production services, professional training and related activities. References to Cairn divisions, programmes, partners or service lines on the Website are descriptive and may change from time to time.
Our contact details are: Al Reem Island, Tamouh Tower, Level 10, Office 1001, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; telephone +971 2 583 7900; email info@cairnconsulting.ae.
By accessing or using the Website, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms. If you use the Website on behalf of a company, government entity or other organization, you represent that you are authorized to act for that organization. If you do not agree, you must not use the Website.
The Website provides general corporate, service, project, thought-leadership and programme information. It does not provide engineering, architectural, aviation, safety, security, legal, financial, investment or other professional advice for any specific project or circumstance. Website content must not be used as a substitute for project-specific investigation, professional judgment, regulatory approval, contractual advice or appropriately qualified consultants.
You remain responsible for evaluating any information and obtaining independent advice before acting on it. Nothing on the Website constitutes a representation that a particular service, design approach, course, accreditation, approval or result is suitable or available for your requirements.
Browsing the Website, sending an inquiry, subscribing to updates or registering an interest in Cairn Academy does not create a client-consultant, adviser-client, fiduciary, employment, agency, partnership or other contractual relationship with Cairn. A professional engagement exists only when the relevant parties sign a separate written agreement or Cairn otherwise confirms the engagement in writing through an authorized representative.
Any proposal, tender response, fee quotation, scope, programme, training offer, enrolment confirmation or statement of work is subject to its own terms. If these Terms conflict with a signed agreement relating to Cairn’s services, the signed agreement prevails for that engagement.
We aim to keep Website information reasonably accurate and current, but content may be incomplete, illustrative, condensed or out of date. Project descriptions, client lists, partner references, team details, services, course availability, certification arrangements, schedules and locations may change without notice. Images, renders, concepts, case studies and videos may be illustrative or may relate to work delivered with clients, partners, contractors or other consultants.
We may update, suspend, withdraw or restrict any part of the Website at any time. We do not guarantee that content will always be available, uninterrupted or error-free.
You may view and print reasonable extracts from the Website for your own lawful, non-commercial evaluation of Cairn and its services, provided that you do not remove notices or misrepresent the source. Any other reproduction, distribution or commercial use requires our prior written permission.
You must not use the Website to:
When you submit a form, you must provide information that is accurate, current and relevant. Do not submit passwords, payment-card data, passport or national-ID copies, security clearances, confidential tender information, classified or security-sensitive airport information, health information, or another person’s personal data unless Cairn has specifically requested it through an approved secure channel and you are authorized to provide it. Website forms and ordinary email are not guaranteed to be confidential or secure. A submission does not oblige Cairn to respond, accept an instruction, preserve exclusivity, enter into negotiations or treat unsolicited ideas or materials as confidential. Confidential information should be provided only after appropriate confidentiality arrangements are in place. You retain ownership of material you lawfully submit. You grant Cairn a limited, non-exclusive right to use, copy and share that material as reasonably necessary to assess and respond to your request, administer an application, prevent misuse, comply with law and establish or defend legal rights.
Academy pages and forms allow visitors to obtain information and register interest or apply for specified learning opportunities. Unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate written confirmation:
1. a form submission is an application or expression of interest, not guaranteed enrolment or admission;
2. course dates, location, mode of delivery, instructors, content, prerequisites, fees, assessment, capacity and certification arrangements may change;
3. certificates or professional recognition are subject to successful completion and the rules of the relevant training or certification provider;
4. references to a partner, awarding body, standard or certification do not grant the applicant rights against that third party beyond its own applicable terms; and
5. Cairn may request further information, decline an application, place an applicant on a waiting list or cancel/reschedule an offering, subject to any separate binding enrolment terms.
Payment, cancellation, refund, attendance and assessment terms, where applicable, will be provided separately before a binding enrolment or purchase is completed. No payment should be made solely on the basis of general Website content.
The Website and its content, including text, graphics, layouts, photographs, renders, videos, drawings, diagrams, reports, logos, trademarks, service names, software and compilations, are owned by or licensed to Cairn and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
Cairn’s names, division names, logos and brand elements may not be used without prior written permission. Third-party names, logos and project marks remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance on the Website does not transfer any rights to visitors.
Client logos, project names, case studies and partner references may identify organisations or work with which Cairn or its team has been involved. Such references do not necessarily indicate a current engagement, exclusive relationship, endorsement of all Website content, or sole authorship by Cairn. Project outcomes depend on many parties and circumstances and should not be treated as guarantees of future performance.
The Website may link to or display content from LinkedIn, Vimeo, YouTube, maps, training or certification providers, clients, partners and other third parties. We do not control their websites, availability, security, accuracy, accessibility, cookies or privacy practices. Links are provided for convenience and do not constitute endorsement unless expressly stated. You use third-party services at your own risk and under their terms and policies.
We use reasonable measures to operate the Website securely, but internet transmission and online systems are not completely secure. We do not warrant that the Website will be free from malware, vulnerabilities, interruption, data loss or unauthorised activity. You are responsible for using suitable devices, updates, security software and backups.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Website and all content are provided “as is” and “as available”. Cairn excludes all warranties, representations and conditions not expressly stated in these Terms, whether express, implied or statutory, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability and satisfactory quality. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or obligation that cannot lawfully be excluded.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Cairn and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, consultants and partners will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, opportunity, anticipated savings, goodwill, data or business interruption, arising from or connected with use of or inability to use the Website, reliance on Website content, form submissions, third-party links or malicious activity.
Where liability cannot be excluded, it will be limited to the extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited. Liability arising under a signed client or enrolment agreement is governed by that agreement, not this section.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to compensate Cairn for reasonable losses, liabilities, claims and costs arising from your unlawful misuse of the Website, infringement of intellectual-property or privacy rights, malicious interference with the Website, or material breach of these Terms. This section does not apply to the extent a loss was caused by Cairn’s own breach or negligence.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we process personal data, and our Cookie Policy explains the technologies used on the Website. Both form part of the Website’s legal information and should be read with these Terms.
We may block, restrict or terminate access where we reasonably believe a visitor has breached these Terms, created a security or legal risk, interfered with the Website or misused Cairn’s content or identity. Provisions that by their nature should continue—including intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, indemnity and governing law—survive termination.
We may revise these Terms to reflect changes in law, technology, Website functions or our business. The revised version will be posted with an updated date. Continued use after publication means the revised Terms apply to subsequent Website use, subject to any rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.
If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect and the affected provision will apply to the maximum lawful extent. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign rights under these Terms without our written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations as part of a reorganization, transfer of business or by operation of law, provided this does not unlawfully reduce your rights. These Terms and the policies referred to in them constitute the entire agreement regarding general Website use, without affecting any separate signed agreement.
These Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising from them are governed by the federal laws of the United Arab Emirates and the laws applicable in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Subject to any mandatory rule of law, the courts of Abu Dhabi have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes connected with the Website or these Terms.
Questions about these Terms may be sent to info@cairnconsulting.ae or to Cairn Consulting, Al Reem Island, Tamouh Tower, Level 10, Office 1001, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
