Affiliate Disclosure & Affiliate Policy
Effective Date: July 14, 2026
At Two Scots Abroad (“we,” “our,” or “us”), we believe in being transparent about how TwoScotsAbroad.com (the “Website”) is funded. This Affiliate Disclosure and Affiliate Policy explains how affiliate relationships work, how we may earn compensation, and what those relationships mean for you as a visitor.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some pages on the Website contain affiliate links.
If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, booking, reservation, subscription, or complete another qualifying action, we may receive a commission or other compensation from the merchant or affiliate partner. This is generally at no additional cost to you.
In many cases, the price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate link or visit the merchant directly. However, prices, discounts, promotions, and terms are controlled by the merchant and may change at any time.
Our Affiliate Partners
We work with a variety of affiliate programs, advertising networks, merchants, and service providers. These may include, but are not limited to:
- Stay22
- Amazon Associates
- Booking platforms
- Hotel and accommodation providers
- Tour and activity providers
- Car rental companies
- Travel insurance providers
- Airlines, rail, ferry, and transportation providers
- Outdoor and travel gear retailers
- Software and digital service providers
- Other travel, hospitality, and ecommerce partners
Our affiliate relationships may change over time, and this list is not exhaustive.
Unless otherwise stated, you should assume that any product, hotel, accommodation, activity, tour, ticket, booking, service, or recommendation linked from the Website may be an affiliate link.
Editorial Independence
Affiliate relationships do not guarantee favorable coverage, rankings, recommendations, reviews, or mentions.
We aim to publish honest, practical, and useful information based on our research, editorial judgment, personal experience where applicable, and the information available at the time of publication.
Compensation may influence which products or services are commercially available for us to link to, but it does not require us to publish a positive opinion.
No Endorsement or Guarantee
References to products, hotels, accommodation providers, tours, attractions, services, companies, or brands are provided for general informational purposes.
Nothing on the Website should be interpreted as:
- A guarantee of quality, safety, availability, suitability, or performance
- A warranty of any kind
- A promise that a product or service will meet your expectations
- A guarantee that a price, promotion, or booking option will remain available
- Professional legal, financial, medical, insurance, tax, or travel advice
Products, services, prices, availability, features, terms, and business practices may change without notice.
Third-Party Websites
Affiliate links may direct you to websites, apps, booking platforms, or services owned and operated by independent third parties.
We do not own, operate, manage, or control those third-party websites or businesses. Once you leave TwoScotsAbroad.com, your use of the third-party website is governed by that party’s own terms and conditions, privacy policy, cookie policy, refund policy, cancellation policy, and other rules.
You should review the merchant’s terms before completing any purchase, booking, registration, or payment.
Purchases, Bookings, and Transactions
All purchases, reservations, bookings, subscriptions, and transactions completed through an affiliate link are made directly with the applicable third-party merchant or service provider.
Two Scots Abroad is not:
- The seller of the product
- The merchant of record
- The travel provider
- The hotel, tour operator, airline, insurer, or retailer
- The booking agent unless expressly stated otherwise
- The payment processor
- A party to the contract between you and the merchant
Any agreement or contract you enter into is solely between you and the third-party merchant.
Third-Party Products and Services
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Two Scots Abroad is not responsible or liable for any issue arising from a third-party product, service, purchase, or booking, including:
- Incorrect, incomplete, or misleading product descriptions
- Pricing errors or price changes
- Unavailable products, rooms, tours, or services
- Cancelled or changed bookings
- Flight, train, ferry, or transport delays
- Hotel or accommodation disputes
- Tour cancellations or itinerary changes
- Shipping or delivery delays
- Lost, damaged, defective, or unsuitable products
- Warranties, guarantees, repairs, or replacements
- Returns, refunds, exchanges, or credits
- Billing errors, duplicate charges, or payment disputes
- Customer service issues
- Supplier insolvency or business closure
- Injuries, losses, accidents, or damages connected to a third-party service
- Any act, omission, negligence, misconduct, or breach by a third party
Any questions, complaints, refund requests, or disputes relating to a purchase or booking should be directed to the merchant or service provider with whom you completed the transaction.
Pricing and Availability
We may display or refer to prices, discounts, availability, offers, or promotions that were accurate when the content was prepared or last updated.
We do not control merchant pricing or inventory and cannot guarantee that any displayed price, discount, room, product, ticket, or service will remain available.
The price and terms shown on the merchant’s website at the time of purchase will control. You should verify all details before completing a transaction.
Travel Information and Booking Decisions
Travel information can change quickly. Entry requirements, visa rules, public health requirements, transport schedules, attraction opening times, weather conditions, safety guidance, and local laws may change after an article is published.
You are responsible for checking current information with official authorities, transport operators, accommodation providers, insurers, and other relevant sources before booking or travelling.
You are also responsible for deciding whether a destination, accommodation, activity, product, or service is suitable for your individual needs, health, budget, circumstances, and level of risk.
Affiliate Tracking and Cookies
Affiliate programs commonly use cookies, tracking pixels, referral codes, device identifiers, and similar technologies to record that you visited a merchant through a link on our Website.
If you click an affiliate link, a cookie or similar tracking technology may be placed on your device by the merchant, affiliate network, or advertising partner. This may allow us to receive a commission if you make a qualifying purchase within a specified period.
The use of those technologies is governed by the relevant third party’s privacy and cookie policies. For more information about our use of cookies, please review our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.
