Every care has been taken by MontenegroPulse.com web authors in compiling the all the information included in this website.

Disclosure Statement

Throughout this website you will see ads and product suggestions. In some cases, MontenegroPulse.com is affilliated with these programs and may be compensated for bookings of these services. In addition, please realise that I will not recommend a product or service which I consider unworthy. I have high standards and guidelines for the various products and services that I suggest.

If you see a testimonial on this website, it is real. I will never issue a false testimonial or pay someone to ‘say something good’ about a product or service. Please keep in mind that whatever the person says is their opinion.

All web-form submissions become property of this website and are protected by copyright laws. I provide all content on this website free of charge, to share with people who plan to visit Montenegro. I devote the time required to do this as an online business being able to earn an income.

In order to bring you free, high quality, useful information, I use various methods to earn an income from this website. These methods include the use of Google Adsense and various affiliate programs.

An affiliate program is a type of online pay-per-sale arrangement. Typically, the way it works is that a company will pay out a commission for every sale sent to them by any website owner who has been approved to participate in their affiliate program.

In theory, the way an affiliate program works is that I have a website or a blog and I love a particular product, so I suggest it to my visitors. If someone makes a purchase as a result, MontenegroPulse.com receives a small commission at no extra cost to the customer. As mentioned before, I will only suggest a product or service if I deem it a good one. In other words, I will never recommend a product solely because I have the ability to earn a commission from the affiliate program.

MontenegroPulse.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
