All personal pictures, opinions and reviews displayed or expressed here are our own and are our copyright, particularly with regards to our personal pictures. Please do not use any of our content or photographs in any way without our prior permission (team@movingtoportugal.com). You are however free to share our posts via the link buttons attached to each post.
Where we have used a picture from another website, for example in a product/service review, or use a picture provided to me from another party, we will always include a picture source link below the picture to that person or company’s picture/website. From time to time, we will source appropriate pictures to use in posts and graphics and these are copyright free pictures from sources such as Canva and Unsplash, or used under license from DepositPhotos.
PR/Collaborations
From time to time we collaborate with brands and businesses that are relevant to the nature of this website, and which we believe our readers will be interested in. We only accept work with businesses that we are happy to endorse or products that we would purchase or use ourselves.
Collaborations include, but are not limited, to the following:
Reviews
We am happy to receive products or to try services in exchange for a review, provided they are in keeping with the nature of this website. The review will always be done with honesty, from our own personal experience of using that product or service. Should we receive a product or service for review from a company, this will be clearly disclosed in the post and a link to that company will be provided in the review.
ASA (the UK Advertising Standards Agency), says that currently (July 2019) that any items whether they have been gifted, gifted and a fee provided or a fee has provided for must be declared clearly and prominently on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter etc. We make every effort to do so!
We will declare posts as AD’s when it may not be your interpretation of an Ad, to err on the side of caution so you are aware that a transaction has taken place, whether it is in exchange for a product, stay, experience or payment. . For example, if we go on a press trip to review a place in exchange for a stay (exactly like mainstream newspapers and magazines do) we will declare this as Ad-Press Trip so you are aware. If payment has been made, we will declare this too.
Affiliate Links
You can assume that some posts on Moving to Portugal will include affiliate links including hotel links, service links and product links. This means that if you buy anything after following the link in our website, we will receive a very small percentage of the sale, or commission. This is always at no extra cost to you, and does not detract from your shopping experience. Posts which include affiliate links will always be marked as so, so you may see a declaration such as “this post contains affiliate links” near the top of the post.
