3. Conditions of Use & Outdoor Safety Disclaimers
The consultation and use of this website are governed by the following general terms of public service:
Informational Nature of Pathway Guidance
The trail descriptions, GPS hints, and pathway condition notes provided on this platform are offered in good faith for general civic information. Because outdoor mountain environments are subject to rapid natural changes (unforeseen rockfalls, windfallen trees, seasonal ice, swollen creeks), each hiker or trail user exercises their own judgment and assumes personal responsibility for their outdoor safety, personal fitness, and equipment.
Hypertext Links & Institutional References
This platform may contain links pointing to official French governmental portals (e.g., Service-Public.fr, Légifrance, Météo-France, Cantal Préfecture, ONF). While we verify references regularly, our association exercises no editorial control over external third-party sites and incurs no liability for their contents or availability.
4. Compliance with French Environmental Code & Local Bylaws
All participants in association activities and all visitors utilizing path information published on this platform must comply strictly with the provisions of the French Environmental Code (Code de l'Environnement) and departmental prefectural orders (Arrêtés Préfectoraux) in force across Cantal:
Motorized Vehicle Circulation Regulations
Pursuant to the "Loi Lalonde" (Law No. 91-2 of 3 January 1991, codified in Articles L. 362-1 et seq. of the Code de l'Environnement), motorized vehicle circulation off-road or along trails without explicit communal classification is strictly prohibited. The association coordinates utility access exclusively for sanctioned public interest trail clearance.
Natura 2000 & Habitat Conservation
Portions of the Maronne river gorges are classified under European ecological protection directives. The harvesting of rare endemic plants, uprooting of mosses, or disturbance of cliff-nesting raptor zones carries criminal sanctions under French environmental law.
4. Applicable Law & Territorial Jurisdiction
These terms of service, mentions légales, and all matters arising from the use of this non-profit web platform are governed exclusively by the laws of the French Republic.
In the event of any institutional inquiry, legal claim, or dispute regarding the interpretation or execution of these terms, the parties agree to seek an amicable resolution through direct consultation with the Association Bureau at Les Écoles, 15150 Arnac. In the absence of an amicable settlement, jurisdiction is formally assigned to the competent courts of the judicial district of Aurillac (Tribunal Judiciaire d'Aurillac, Cantal, France).
