About these terms

These terms apply to your use of salmisson.com and everything published on it. The site is an editorial navigation resource covering road map navigation in the United Arab Emirates, written and operated by its editorial team. There is no user account, no subscription and no purchase flow behind these pages: you arrive, you read, and these terms describe that exchange.

We may update these terms from time to time. The version published on this page applies from the date it appears, and we replace it in place rather than keeping a list of older drafts. If a change affects how you may use the site, the wording on this page is the version in force.

Use of the site

You may read, browse and use the site for personal, non-commercial purposes. That covers following a comparison between navigation apps, reading a city guide before a drive, or checking how an official location system works. You agree not to misuse the site: no attempting to gain unauthorized access to it, no interfering with its operation, and no automated means of extracting content at scale.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the site complies with the laws that apply to you. If you are reading from outside the United Arab Emirates, local rules on how web content may be accessed are yours to check, not ours to assume.

What is fine

  • Reading any page, sharing a link with another driver, printing a page for your own reference.
  • Citing a short passage with attribution in a forum post, message or article of your own.
  • Linking to a specific guide so a colleague finds the same comparison you did.

What is not

  • Scraping or bulk-copying articles to republish them elsewhere.
  • Probing the site for weaknesses, or trying to reach areas that are not public.
  • Loading the site in a way that degrades it for other readers.

Content and its limits

The content on this site is editorial information about navigation apps, official location systems and driving conditions in the UAE. It is provided for general information, and it is written to help you compare tools before you open one, not to replace the tool itself.

Navigation information changes. Roads are built, junctions are altered, apps add or remove features, and official systems are updated on schedules we do not control. We describe systems and tools as accurately as we can at the time of writing, but we do not present the site as an official source, and we do not guarantee that any specific route, feature or detail is current or correct at the moment you read it. Where a page describes how a feature behaves, treat it as a starting point for your own check inside the app.

If something on a page looks out of date, that is useful to know. Tell us through the contact page and we can review the wording — but the correction reaches other readers when we next update the article, not instantly.

No professional advice

The site does not provide legal, safety or traffic-law advice. Nothing on the site should be treated as a substitute for official guidance from the relevant authorities or from the operators of the systems described.

For authoritative route or location data, use the official tool itself. Official systems referenced on this site belong to their respective bodies, and those bodies publish the versions that carry authority. Our pages exist to explain the difference between tools, not to issue directions.

Intellectual property

The text and editorial content on this site belong to Salmisson unless stated otherwise. You may quote short passages with attribution, but you may not republish substantial parts of the content without permission. The photographs used on the site are part of that content and are not licensed for reuse elsewhere.

Names of apps, systems and organizations mentioned on the site belong to their respective owners. Their appearance here is for identification and editorial discussion — a page that compares two navigation apps has to name them to be useful, and naming a tool does not mean its owner endorses, sponsors or reviews what we wrote.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided on an as-is and as-available basis. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for losses arising from your use of the site or from reliance on its content, including decisions made about routes or navigation tools.

We do not guarantee that the site will be available without interruption or free of errors. Pages may be edited, retired or replaced, and a link you saved may stop resolving to the same article — the topics move as the tools themselves change.

Changes and termination

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the site at any time. We may also update these terms. Continued use of the site after a change means the revised terms apply, so the version on this page is always the one worth checking before you rely on a specific statement.

Nothing in this section limits rights you hold under mandatory law, and nothing here creates an obligation on us to keep any particular article online.

  • What is stored on your device

    The small files the site uses to work, and how to control them from your browser.

Questions about these terms

Write to the editorial team if something here is unclear, if you want permission to reuse part of an article, or if you believe a page describes a system incorrectly. For questions about personal data, use the privacy policy page so your request reaches the right place.

We answer during working hours and normally reply within a few business days. Include the page you are asking about so we can look at the same wording you did.
