2. Nature of the information provided
All content on the Website — route descriptions, stage plans, accommodation listings, packing suggestions, budgets, community tips and personal reflections — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.
Content is compiled from general knowledge, community contributions and user submissions. It is not professional, medical, legal or navigational advice, and it is not monitored in real time.
3. Limitation of liability
We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, currency or safety of any route, recommendation, accommodation entry or other information published on the Website.
All routes, tips and guidelines are followed at the user's own risk. Walking long-distance routes involves physical effort and inherent risks; you are solely responsible for your own preparation, fitness, insurance, equipment and decisions on the trail.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the International Camino Wayfinding Secretariat and its contributors accept no liability for any loss, injury, damage, delay or expense arising from the use of, or reliance on, information published on the Website or in the digital guides.
Third-party links, phone numbers, websites and booking channels are provided for convenience only; we do not control and are not responsible for third-party content or services.
4. User-generated content and personal stories
When you submit a property listing, a story, a tip or any other content, you confirm that it is your own, that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge, and that you have the right to share it.
Submitted content must not be unlawful, misleading, defamatory, discriminatory, or infringe anyone's rights or privacy. Do not submit personal data about other people without their consent.
We may review, edit, decline or remove any submission at our discretion, and we are under no obligation to publish it. By submitting content you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to publish and adapt it on the Website, with attribution where appropriate.
Published user contributions represent the personal views and experiences of their authors, not verified facts or endorsements by us.
