Cultural Heritage Organization

Effective Date: October 27, 2026

Welcome to the Made in Doha Cultural Heritage Organization.

Made in Doha is an independent initiative dedicated to recognizing, preserving, and promoting Doha’s cultural heritage, local craftsmanship, creative industries, and locally produced goods.

Through the Made in Doha Label, organizational programs, and upcoming online marketplace, we aim to connect local artisans, designers, producers, entrepreneurs, and businesses with residents, visitors, and international audiences.

These Terms and Conditions govern access to and use of our website, applications, recognition programs, and related services.

By using our services or submitting an application, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.

Made in Doha seeks to:

• Recognize artisans, craftspeople, designers, manufacturers, and local producers.
• Preserve and promote traditional craftsmanship and living cultural heritage.
• Encourage local entrepreneurship and economic development.
• Promote authentic products and services created in Doha.
• Connect approved participants with customers through digital platforms and future marketplace services.
• Increase national and international visibility for Doha’s creative and productive industries.

Made in Doha operates independently and does not represent the government of Qatar or any governmental authority unless an official relationship is expressly established and disclosed.

Individuals and businesses may apply to participate in Made in Doha programs if they meet the applicable eligibility requirements.

Applicants may include:

• Artisans and craftspeople.
• Designers and creative professionals.
• Local manufacturers and producers.
• Food producers, chefs, and specialty makers.
• Artists and cultural entrepreneurs.
• Businesses offering qualifying locally created products or services.

Applicants must provide accurate information about their identity, business activities, location, and the origin of their products or services.

Participation is subject to review and approval by Made in Doha.

The Made in Doha Label is an organizational recognition mark that identifies qualifying local creators, businesses, and products associated with Doha.

Applications may be assessed according to criteria including:

• Local production or creation within Doha.
• Genuine involvement in the design, craftsmanship, or manufacturing process.
• Authenticity and traceability of products.
• Compliance with applicable business and product regulations.
• Accuracy of information provided by the applicant.

Made in Doha reserves the right to request supporting documentation and conduct reasonable verification procedures.

Approval is not automatic.

The label does not constitute a government-issued certification, product safety approval, or guarantee of origin under any official governmental certification scheme unless separately authorized.

The names, logos, labels, designs, and other branding associated with Made in Doha are intended for use only as authorized by the organization.

Approved participants may receive limited permission to display the Made in Doha Label in accordance with applicable branding and participation guidelines.

Participants must not:

• Modify or misrepresent the label.
• Transfer label authorization to another business without approval.
• Display the label on unapproved products.
• Suggest government endorsement or certification without authorization.
• Continue using the label after authorization expires or is withdrawn.

Made in Doha may suspend or withdraw permission to use the label if these conditions are violated.

Any intellectual property rights asserted by the organization remain subject to applicable law and valid ownership or licensing arrangements.

Applicants are responsible for ensuring that all submitted information is accurate, complete, and current.

Made in Doha may request additional information to verify eligibility.

False statements, misleading product-origin claims, fraudulent documentation, or misuse of the organization’s identity may result in rejection, suspension, or termination of participation.

Applicants will be informed of applicable fees, review procedures, and participation requirements before entering into a paid arrangement.

Certain organizational services, label applications, memberships, promotional opportunities, or marketplace activities may involve fees.

Where fees apply, their amounts, payment terms, refund conditions, and relevant taxes will be disclosed before payment.

No fee is payable merely by visiting the Made in Doha website.

Unless otherwise stated in a specific agreement, submitting an application does not guarantee approval or access to future commercial opportunities.

Made in Doha intends to introduce an online marketplace where approved local creators and producers may present and sell qualifying products.

Marketplace participation will be subject to additional seller requirements and operational policies.

These may include:

• Seller registration and verification.
• Product listing standards.
• Pricing and payment arrangements.
• Delivery and shipping responsibilities.
• Customer service requirements.
• Returns, refunds, and cancellation procedures.
• Applicable taxes and consumer protection obligations.

Marketplace access is not guaranteed solely through participation in the Made in Doha Label program.

Additional marketplace terms will be published before commercial transactions become available.

When the marketplace becomes operational, participating sellers will be responsible for the accuracy, legality, quality, and safety of their products and listings.

Sellers must comply with applicable laws, including those concerning commercial licensing, consumer protection, product safety, intellectual property, advertising, and taxation.

Sellers must not offer counterfeit, prohibited, misleadingly described, or unlawfully marketed goods.

Made in Doha may remove listings or suspend sellers who violate applicable requirements.

The organization will define whether it acts as a marketplace intermediary or as the direct seller for particular transactions before those services launch.

Made in Doha respects applicable consumer protection laws in Qatar and other jurisdictions where its services may operate.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions is intended to exclude or restrict consumer rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

When the marketplace launches, customers will receive information about prices, sellers, delivery arrangements, cancellations, refunds, and complaint procedures as required by applicable law.

Unless otherwise stated, original website content, organizational publications, photographs, designs, and other materials owned or lawfully licensed by Made in Doha are protected under applicable intellectual property laws.

Users may not reproduce, distribute, commercially exploit, or misrepresent protected materials without authorization, except where permitted by law.

Participants retain ownership of their original work, designs, photographs, trademarks, and other intellectual property.

By submitting promotional materials, participants grant Made in Doha a non-exclusive, limited license to use those materials for agreed organizational, recognition, and promotional purposes, subject to any applicable consent requirements.

Made in Doha seeks to provide reliable information about local creators, products, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage.

However, historical descriptions, participant profiles, product information, and other published content may contain inaccuracies or require updates.

The organization may correct or remove information when appropriate.

Users should independently verify information that is material to purchasing, contracting, or other important decisions.

Users agree not to:

• Use the website for unlawful or fraudulent purposes.
• Submit false or misleading information.
• Attempt unauthorized access to organizational systems.
• Interfere with website security or functionality.
• Upload malicious software or harmful content.
• Infringe the rights of other users, businesses, or third parties.
• Misuse the Made in Doha name, logo, or recognition program.

Made in Doha may restrict access to its services when reasonably necessary to address violations, security threats, or legal obligations.

Personal information collected through the website, applications, recognition programs, and future marketplace will be handled in accordance with the Made in Doha Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.

Users are encouraged to review the Privacy Policy before submitting personal or business information.

The Made in Doha website may contain links to external websites, payment services, delivery providers, and business platforms.

These services may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Made in Doha is not responsible for independently operated third-party services except to the extent required by applicable law or a specific contractual arrangement.

Made in Doha may reject, suspend, or terminate participation where there is a reasonable basis to believe that an applicant or participant has:

• Violated these Terms and Conditions.
• Provided fraudulent or materially inaccurate information.
• Misused the Made in Doha Label.
• Engaged in unlawful or misleading commercial activity.
• Created significant risks to customers, other participants, or the organization.

Where appropriate, affected participants may be given an opportunity to respond or correct a violation.

Any applicable appeal or reconsideration procedure will be described in the relevant program rules.

Made in Doha will take reasonable care in operating its organizational services.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the organization does not guarantee uninterrupted website availability, commercial success, increased sales, or specific economic benefits resulting from participation.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including mandatory consumer protection obligations.

Any additional limitations of liability for marketplace transactions will be specified in the applicable marketplace terms.

Made in Doha may update its services, recognition criteria, participation requirements, and these Terms and Conditions to reflect organizational developments, legal obligations, or operational changes.

Updated terms will be published with a revised effective date.

Where legally required, users or participants will receive appropriate notice or be asked to provide renewed acceptance.

Changes will not retroactively remove rights that users have already acquired under applicable law.

Subject to mandatory laws that may apply to particular users or transactions, these Terms and Conditions are intended to be governed by the laws of the State of Qatar.

Disputes should initially be addressed through direct communication with Made in Doha.

If a dispute cannot be resolved amicably, it may be referred to the competent courts or other authorized dispute resolution bodies in accordance with applicable law.
