These terms govern your use of OpenCaves, a free, community-built map of the cenotes and caves of the Yucatán Peninsula, operated by Christian Rémillard in Québec, Canada. By using OpenCaves, you agree to these terms.
Cave and cenote diving can be dangerous and can kill. OpenCaves is an information resource, not a guide, and it's no substitute for proper training, certification, equipment, local knowledge and good judgment.
The information on OpenCaves comes largely from the community. It can be incomplete, inaccurate or out of date. Conditions, access, fees, ownership and hazards change. Always check with the landowner, local operators and guides before you go, and dive within your training and limits.
Many cenotes are on private or communal (ejido) land. Their presence on OpenCaves doesn't mean you may visit them. Respect the owners, their rules and their fees, and leave no trace.
You're responsible for your account and for keeping your sign-in details private. Give accurate information, and don't use someone else's account. Accounts are for people 14 and older. Younger children need a parent's or guardian's consent.
You can add photos, maps, videos and cave information. By contributing, you confirm that:
You keep the rights to your contributions, and you license them to everyone under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 license (CC BY-SA 4.0). Anyone may share and adapt them, with credit, under the same license. We may edit, move or remove any contribution, for example if it's inaccurate, off-topic or unsafe.
Don't use OpenCaves to harm others, post illegal, misleading or offensive content, collect other users' information, disrupt the service, or access it by automated means that put an unreasonable load on it.
The cave information on OpenCaves is open data, available under CC BY-SA 4.0. Credit "OpenCaves and contributors". Map images are provided by Mapbox and © OpenStreetMap contributors, under their own terms.
OpenCaves links to and embeds services run by others, such as Google Maps directions, YouTube and Vimeo. Their own terms apply to them, and we're not responsible for them.
OpenCaves is provided free, "as is" and "as available", without any warranty of accuracy, completeness or availability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, including Québec's consumer protection law, we're not liable for any damage, injury or loss arising from your use of OpenCaves or of the information it contains.
We may change OpenCaves or these terms. If we make important changes, we'll update the date above and tell account holders in advance. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms. You can stop using OpenCaves and ask us to delete your account at any time.
These terms are governed by the laws of Québec and of Canada applicable there. Disputes go to the courts of Québec, unless the law gives you the right to another forum.
