Terms and Conditions

Conditions applying to the use of this portal, the public accreditation lookup and APMLS services.

These terms govern access to and use of the APMLS portal. By using the portal you accept these conditions. If you do not agree, you should not use it.

APMLS is a non-profit association that sets standards, accredits companies and professionals and provides public verification. APMLS is not a real-estate agency, does not take part in transactions and does not sell software.

The information provided is intended solely for checking accreditation status. Automated collection (scraping), bulk reproduction and use for commercial, advertising or database-building purposes are prohibited.

APMLS strives to keep information correct and up to date but does not guarantee it is error-free. Accreditation status is always as recorded in the association’s register at the date of consultation.

Accreditation attests compliance with APMLS criteria at the date of assessment. It is not a guarantee of outcome and does not make the association liable for members’ acts towards their clients.

The Seal is the property of APMLS and may only be used by members with valid accreditation, under the applicable regulation. Misuse gives rise to legal measures and may be reported through the confidential channel.

The content, trademarks, logos and documents on this portal are the property of APMLS or their respective owners and may not be reproduced without written authorisation.

The portal may contain links to third-party sites. APMLS does not control and is not responsible for their content or privacy policies.

Membership fees, the joining fee, shop orders and paid course and event registrations are paid to APMLS and are non-refundable, including when membership ends, is not ratified or the member does not use the paid service. The Sync MLS subscription is paid to Sync MLS, which does not give refunds either. Before each payment, the portal states that the payment is non-refundable.

APMLS may amend these terms at any time. The version in force is always the one published on this page, with its update date.

Portuguese law applies. Any dispute shall be subject to the courts of Lisbon, with express waiver of any other jurisdiction.
