Editorial responsibility

Editorial responsibility for the content lies with the professional who performs the regulatory compliance and accountability function at Direct Hit.

Referencing methodology

All references to legal provisions published on this site are verified against official sources — namely Diário da República Eletrónico or the portal of the competent authority — before publication. Content that is not confirmed in an official source, or that requires further verification, is marked in italics within square brackets.

Where an error of our own is identified and corrected, the correction is acknowledged visibly and with a date on the content itself, rather than made silently.

Each item of content that depends on a legal provision is entered in a regulatory watch register, stating the provision it depends on and where it is corrected.

Nature of the information

The information published is provided for information and educational purposes. It does not constitute legal advice applicable to a specific case, does not replace individual analysis, and does not replace legal representation where this is required. The authoritative text of any Portuguese legal provision is the Portuguese original published in Diário da República; English renderings on this site are for orientation.

Intellectual property

Original content on this site is the property of Direct Hit. Partial reproduction is permitted for non-commercial purposes with express attribution and a link to the original address. Legislative texts cited are in the public domain under applicable law.

Technology

Static site served through a content delivery network, with no database, no content management system and no tracking tools. Forms are processed by an external form-processing service.
