Terms of use

Camptocamp.org is a site for sharing information. It is your contributions that gradually build up this shared database.
This article describes the rights and duties of users of the camptocamp.org site. Potential contributors to the site will be interested to read Chapter 3 - Contributions to the site, intellectual property and copyright.

Chapter 1 - Limitation of liability

THE USE OF CAMPTOCAMP.ORG WEBSITE IS SUBJECT TO THE FULL AND SOLE USER'S OWN RISKS.

Camptocamp-Association provides the community of users with the Camptocamp website camptocamp.org in order to enhance the exchange of information between people practising mountain sports. Camptocamp-Association therefore stands as a hosting provider of the information exchange platform camptocamp.org. Camptocamp-Association is neither owner nor publisher of the hosted contents, subject to rare exceptions that are clearly identifiable as such.

1.1 Loss of data and other damages liability disclaimer

Subject to the legal provisions applicable, Camptocamp-Association shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damage, including, without limitation, loss of profit, customers or data, arising from the use or failure to use the C2C website, and more generally for any event in connection with the website and/or any other website.

In particular, any content downloaded from and/or obtained in any way by the use of the website is at the user's own risks. Camptocamp-Association shall not be liable for any damage or data loss suffered by your computer.

1.2 Responsibility for the practice of a mountain activity

The practice of mountain sports and activities requires a perfect knowledge and field experience, also implying the acceptance of a certain degree of risk matching one's physical and technical skills and experience. Camptocamp-Association recommends users the greatest caution in interpreting and using online data provided by the community on the website.

Camptocamp-Association assumes no guarantee for the accuracy and completeness of the information directly supplied (route descriptions and conditions, forum comments, practical and medical advice…) on this website. Such non-binding information shall in no way make Camptocamp-Association or the content authors to be held liable.

Moreover, the information provided on the website is no substitute for the advice or recommendations of a qualified professional when making decisions undertaken on the ground. Camptocamp-Association disclaims any liability should incidents or accidents of any kind arise from the use or interpretation of contents provided on the website.

Chapter 2 - Warranty disclaimer

The website is provided "as is", accessible when available, without any warranty from Camptocamp-Association.
Camptocamp-Association in particular does not guarantee that:

• the website, the contents and products offered will entirely fit your expectations,
• the website will function continuously and without failures,
• failures will be corrected.

No advice and no information which the user may obtain either verbally or in writing from Camptocamp-Association, as well as through the website, may induce any unforeseen warranty.

Chapter 3 - Intellectual property and copyright

Providing contents online on the website requires the prior creation of a user's account.

1. Topoguide contributions are governed by the Charte du Contributeur au topoguide (topoguide contribution Charter).
2. Forum contributions are governed by the Charte du forum (Charter of the forum).

Contribution to one or another part of the camptocamp.org website implicitely and inevitably means that the user have accepted to abide by both Charters.

A specific article describes the licenses under which the contents are published on camptocamp.org website. Your contributions will therfore also be published under those licenses. It is thus important that you carefully and completely read the article herebefore in order to avoid any bad surprises.

In this respect, the user may notice that requests for content suppression, particularly when dealing with a large number of documents created by such user, are dealt with on a case by case basis and are not automatically accepted. Indeed, as a host provider of contents of interest to a large community of internet users, _Camptocamp-Association_texte en italiques__ must balance an obligation to remove illicit contents when identified as such (the burden of proof relying on the claiming user) with another duty to keep information of public interest published.

The contributor accepts that his/her contents posted online under cc-by-nc-nd licenses may be subject to a series of actions from the moderation team in order to fit the required quality and best readability for topoguide users, as well as he/she accepts moderation of his/her contents posted on the forum.

Chapter 4 - Closure or suspension of the website

Camptocamp-Association reserves the right, whenever it wishes, to modify or suspend all or any part of the website, either temporarily or permanently, without notice or compensation. Camptocamp-Association can in no way be held responsible for the potential consequences of such a modification or suspension.
