Did you have to pay full price even though a store advertised a discounted price? Or did you receive a broken or defected product? In Dubai, consumers can submit a complaint to the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET).
Under Federal Decree No. 5 of 2023, consumers can also seek compensation for damages from using goods or services. In case of flaws in the product or service, the supplier must offer repair, replacement, or a refund. Suppliers must also clearly indicate the price of goods, avoid misleading advertising, and honour warranties.
