Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Portugal & Co website and our business setup services. By accessing or using our website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Services Offered

Portugal & Co provides fixed-fee, modular Portuguese limited liability company (Lda) formation services. The base service (€1,500) includes:

• Company formation and registration
• Company tax registration and NIF assignment
• Legal documentation preparation
• 90 days of post-incorporation support

Optional modules selected at checkout — shareholder NIF representation, registered office, first-year accounting, and corporate banking introduction — are part of the same engagement and priced individually. Other add-on services are billed separately and subject to separate agreements.

2. Fixed Fee Structure

Our service is provided on a fixed-fee, modular basis: a €1,500 base fee plus the optional modules you select at checkout. The total shown at checkout is inclusive of all selected services. No additional hourly charges apply unless you engage optional services or request work outside the agreed scope.

3. Scope of Services

Our services are limited to business setup in Portugal. We do not provide ongoing tax planning, investment advice, HR consulting, or other services beyond what is explicitly stated in our engagement agreement. These services require separate agreements and fees.

4. Consultation and Engagement

A 30-minute initial consultation is free and non-binding. During this call, we assess your needs and determine if our services are appropriate. If you proceed, you will sign an engagement agreement.

5. Client Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

• Providing accurate, complete information and documents
• Making timely decisions regarding company structure and ownership
• Ensuring compliance with your home country's regulations (FATCA, CRS, reporting requirements)
• Understanding Portuguese tax obligations post-incorporation

6. Timeline

Company formation typically takes 4–6 weeks from engagement to active company. Timeline depends on document availability, government processing times, and bank approval. We do not guarantee specific dates.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by Portuguese law:

• Our total liability for any claim related to our services shall not exceed the fees paid for those services.
• We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages.
• We are not liable for delays caused by government agencies, banks, or third parties.

8. No Legal Advice (Website Only)

Information on this website is for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Actual legal advice is provided only to clients under a signed engagement agreement.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and any engagement agreement are governed by Portuguese law. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of Portuguese courts for any disputes.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate the engagement with written notice. Refunds are provided only if termination occurs before material work has begun, less reasonable costs incurred.

11. Confidentiality

We maintain confidentiality of client information subject to legal obligations (e.g., AML/KYC, tax reporting). Information shared with government agencies, banks, and tax authorities is done in accordance with law.

12. Disclaimers

Portugal & Co provides services "as is." We do not warrant that business setup will be successful or that the company will operate without issues. Business success depends on many factors beyond our control.

13. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of our services after changes constitute acceptance of modified Terms.
