User Obligations and Responsibilities
When using our services, you agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account information and password, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account.

All content on our website, including text, images, photographs, videos, and design elements, is the exclusive property of our organization or licensed partners. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to view and use this content for personal, non-commercial purposes only. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or transmit any content without our prior written permission. This includes photographs and recordings taken during nature walks and guided tours. We protect the intellectual property rights of all contributors, including wildlife photographers and naturalists who have provided educational materials.

We provide our services on an "as is" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of our website or services. This includes damages related to personal injury, equipment damage, or loss of enjoyment during nature walks.

Your participation in our activities is at your own risk. We strongly recommend obtaining appropriate travel insurance and consulting with healthcare providers before participating in outdoor activities, especially for elderly participants.

We encourage you to review these terms periodically to stay informed of any changes. Your continued use of our website following the posting of revised terms means you accept and agree to the changes.
