These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of goexpat.net and any related services (together, the "Service"), operated by GoExpat ("we", "us", "our"). By accessing the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility
You must be of legal age to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction to use the Service. If you are accessing the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.
2. The Service
GoExpat publishes articles and editorial content on visas, taxes, salaries, cost of living, and healthcare in different countries. The content is produced for general information only and is not a substitute for personal legal, tax, immigration, or financial advice. Always consult a licensed professional in the relevant jurisdiction before making decisions.
Rules and fees change frequently. Even where we cite official sources, the situation on the ground may differ from what is published. Treat every article as a starting point, not a final answer.
3. Acceptable use
When you use the Service you agree not to:
- Use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
- Reproduce, scrape, or redistribute substantial portions of the content without our written permission.
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service, other accounts, or our infrastructure.
- Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or any other harmful code.
- Use automated systems (bots, scrapers, crawlers) that send more requests than a human could reasonably make in the same period.
- Misrepresent your identity or impersonate any person or entity.
4. Newsletter
If you sign up for our newsletter you will be asked to provide an email address. You are responsible for keeping that address accurate. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every message.
5. Intellectual property
All text, graphics, logos, layouts, and source code on the Service are owned by GoExpat or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and view the content for your personal, non-commercial use.
- You may share short excerpts of articles with attribution and a link back to the original page.
- You may print or save individual articles for personal reference.
- You may not republish, sell, or sublicense the content without prior written permission.
- You may not remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice.
6. User contributions
If you submit a tip, correction, or any other content to us by email, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual licence to use, edit, publish, and adapt that submission in connection with the Service. You confirm that you own the rights to the submission and that publication will not infringe any third party's rights.
7. Third-party links and services
The Service may link to third-party websites, products, or services. We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their content or practices. Following a link is at your own risk; we recommend reviewing the third party's terms and privacy policy.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, GoExpat and its officers, employees, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.
10. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless GoExpat from any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Service.
11. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that you have breached these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law, will continue to apply.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
13. Resolving disputes
Any dispute arising from your use of the Service should first be raised with us in good faith so we can try to resolve it amicably.
