The Barcelona Hiking & Outdoors Group

Liability Terms

You are free to join any of the events that the Organizer or an Assistant Organizer promotes for the group.
The Organizer or Assistant Organizer who promotes an event does not assume any liability regarding injuries and/or accidents that may happen during the event.
Before you were allowed to join Meetup, you had to check a box saying you read and agreed to Meetup's Terms of Service. One of the most important sections in these terms as an Organizer, is Section 6.2 which refers to liability. Here is a link for your review. In simple language, YOU and only you, are responsible for your safety at all times if you participate in a Meetup event.
It is responsability of every Member of this group to search information about the promoted events in this group or ask the Organizer or Assistant Organizer of the event for that information. You make the decission to attend to an event based on that information.
If you join an event, you have the responsability to bring the gear that Organizer or Assistant Organizer requested in the event description.
Nobody is in charge to lead, organize and/or plan any event of this Meetup group. All people attending an event lead, organize and plan the event, the whole group is responsible for all incidents that may happen. The Organizer and Assistant Organizers only manage the content of this Meetup Group.
The Barcelona Hiking & Outdoors Group is not a Hiking Association (Centro Excursionista) or a organized association under the supervision of any sport regulation entity and no member of this group is a professional specialized in mountain sports (guides, trainers, etc.). Therefore all the content involving an event have to be taken as an advice and it is responsability of each person to follow them or not.
We strongly recommend to all members of this group to get a FEEC licence or an assurance with the same scope of the FEEC licence to cover any injuries that may happen during an event of The Barcelona Hiking & Outdoors Group. IMPORTANT NOTICE:
- Having a FEEC licence does not make anybody a professional of mountain sports unless he has any other licences.
- Having a FEEC licence means that the person that have it has paid the fee for an insurance covering some mountain activities depending on the licence type (the Organizer has a D-licence, for example). Having a FEEC licence only proves that you belong to a mountain association and that you have enough money to pay the licence fees. FEEC does not ask for any qualifications for their licences.
- Do not trust anybody who says that he/she can organize and be responsible of any event just because he/she has a FEEC licence. Request other qualifications from him/her, check the following link to read the catalan and spanish legislation about this issue.
All member of The Barcelona Hiking & Outdoors Group have to be considered only as mountain sport fans and no one should be considered a professional of any mountain sport. Our intentio is only to help you to get introduced into the hiking experiences.
Mountain sports carry some risks that you should not ignore. Every member of this group should know them and decide freely to accept them.
