1. Who we are and acceptance
Cenote Scout is an informational project operated by LIBERA Studio from Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico. By using this website you accept these terms. If you disagree, stop using it.
2. Informational service
The website organises information about cenotes, operators and visiting conditions. We are not the operator of the listed places, a travel agency, a rescue service or an authority. We currently do not sell tickets, manage bookings or process payments.
3. Verification and changes
Prices, hours, access, facilities, requirements, contacts, coordinates and conditions may change without notice. A date or source documents our editorial review but is not equivalent to direct confirmation by the operator. Check essential details before travelling.
4. Safety, health and access
A listing does not certify safety, water quality, accessibility, road condition or suitability for a particular person. Water activities, stairs, caves, wildlife, weather and roads may involve risk. Assess conditions, respect closures and signs, use required equipment and follow operator and authority instructions. In an emergency, contact local emergency services.
5. Maps, operators and third parties
Third-party coordinates, routes and travel times may be wrong or lead to private or impassable access. Links to maps, WhatsApp, social networks, operator websites and other external services are provided for reference and governed by their own terms. We do not control or automatically endorse their content.
iNaturalist observations and identifications
Observations and identifications can change and do not constitute a complete inventory. They do not certify water quality, safety, ecological health or the permanent presence of a species. A nearby record also does not establish that the organism occurs inside the cenote.
Photographs and observations retain their respective authors and licences. iNaturalist is an independent platform. Cenote Scout may remove a photograph or record from its own display where there are concerns about licensing, relevance, sensitivity, privacy or geographic association, without changing the original iNaturalist content.
6. Corrections and submissions
By submitting a correction, you confirm that you may share it and that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge. You allow us to review, edit and publish it without revealing your personal data unless agreed otherwise. We may request evidence, reject changes or retain the previous status when verification is not possible.
7. Permitted use
You may browse and share links for personal, lawful use. You may not interfere with the website, attempt to access restricted systems, extract data in a way that degrades the service, impersonate an operator, submit false information or reuse the identity or editorial compilation as your own.
8. Intellectual property
The Cenote Scout brand, design, software, editorial selection and original copy are protected by applicable law. Geographic names, facts and third-party materials belong to their respective sources and owners. Concept images are identified as such and do not depict a specific cenote.
9. Sponsored content
If paid content is introduced in future, it will be clearly labelled. Payment will not make information verified, hide its date or buy an editorial recommendation.
10. Availability and liability
We aim to keep the website available and correct errors, but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation or that all information is complete or current. To the extent permitted by law, Cenote Scout and LIBERA Studio are not liable for decisions based solely on the directory, acts of operators or third parties, changing conditions, routes, accidents or indirect losses. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be limited.
11. Privacy and changes
Personal-data processing is explained in the Privacy notice. We may update these terms when the service changes. We will publish the new date and provide a visible notice for material changes.
12. Law and contact
These terms are interpreted under applicable Mexican law. Disputes that cannot be resolved in good faith will be submitted to the competent courts of Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico, unless mandatory law provides otherwise. Before starting a dispute, you may contact hola@liberastudio.tech or via WhatsApp to seek a good-faith resolution.
Before these terms are published as final, the controller’s full legal name and detailed address must be confirmed and the text must receive professional legal validation.
