Disclaimer

Last updated: August 2026.

Costa Rica Decoded provides general educational content about relocating to, investing in, and doing business in Costa Rica. Please read this Disclaimer carefully before using our guides, watching our content, or booking an advisory session.

1. Not professional advice

Nothing on this Site, in any guide, video, or advisory session constitutes legal, immigration, tax, financial, investment, or real estate advice. Content is based on the author's personal experience and research believed accurate at the time of writing, but laws, regulations, costs, and procedures in Costa Rica change, and we do not guarantee that any information remains current or accurate at the time you read it.

2. No attorney-client, advisor-client, or fiduciary relationship

Purchasing a guide or booking an advisory session does not create an attorney-client, financial advisor-client, real estate broker, or fiduciary relationship between you and Álvaro Lachner or Costa Rica Decoded. Advisory sessions provide informal guidance based on personal and professional experience — they are not a substitute for retaining a licensed Costa Rican attorney, accountant, real estate professional, or immigration specialist for your specific situation.

3. Always verify independently

Before making any decision related to relocation, residency, real estate purchase, or business formation in Costa Rica, you should independently verify all relevant information with appropriately licensed professionals in Costa Rica. Team members recommended through our advisory services are provided as a convenience based on our professional network — we do not guarantee their work, and you are responsible for your own due diligence before engaging any recommended professional.

4. No guaranteed outcomes

Relocating to, investing in, or starting a business in another country carries inherent risk. We make no representations or warranties about the outcomes you can expect from following our guides or advisory recommendations. Individual results vary based on your specific circumstances.

5. Third-party links and recommendations

Our guides and content may reference or link to third-party services, professionals, or businesses. We are not responsible for the actions, services, or advice provided by any third party, even where recommended by us.

6. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Costa Rica Decoded and Álvaro Lachner disclaim all liability for any loss or damage — financial, legal, or otherwise — arising from your reliance on information provided through our guides, content, or advisory services.
