Terms of use

1. Your responsibility and prohibited content

Members are responsible for the tours, text, photos and GPS data they submit. Content must not infringe the rights of others and must not be unlawful, abusive or dangerously misleading.

Bergerlebnisse may not be used as a general file- or image-sharing platform. Prohibited content includes pornographic or sexualised content, depictions of sexual abuse, sexualised depictions of minors, violent or hateful content, and any other criminal or clearly tour-unrelated content. This applies at every visibility level, including private tours and closed mountain-friend groups.

2. Photos and identifiable people

Only your own photos, or photos for which you have sufficient permission, may be uploaded. If people are identifiable, their consent must cover the selected visibility of the tour unless a legal exception applies. A private hiking group is not a public event merely because of its size. Particular care is required for minors; identifiable minors must not be published without the required consent of a parent or guardian.

The confirmation made during upload is stored with its timestamp. It does not replace the consent actually required from the people depicted. If visibility is later expanded, consent must also cover the wider audience.

3. Reports and temporary hiding

Affected people and rights holders may report a photo using “Report photo”. A complete, reasoned report initially causes the photo to be hidden as a precaution. The reporting person must provide accurate contact details and act in good faith. Abusive reports are prohibited.

4. Necessary action

The operator may hide or remove content and temporarily or permanently suspend accounts if an infringement is credibly reported, these rules are breached, or a review is required. Where serious criminal activity is suspected, the competent authorities may be informed and available information may be disclosed to the extent required by law. Content does not become the operator’s property; the member grants only the use necessary for display, storage, moderation and technical processing within Bergerlebnisse.

5. Safety of tour information

Tour reports and tracks reflect personal experience. They may be outdated, incomplete or inaccurate and do not replace your own planning, current information, suitable equipment and assessment of local conditions.
