Terms of use

Last updated on November 13, 2026.

These terms of use (the "Terms") govern the use of the Fontainebleau Crashpads web application (the "Application"). By using the Application, you accept these Terms.

Publisher

The Application is published by BW RETAIL, a simplified joint-stock company (SAS) whose registered office is at 179 rue Grande, 77300 Fontainebleau, France (the "Publisher"). Full details are given in the legal notice.

The service

Fontainebleau Crashpads is a bouldering guide for the Fontainebleau forest. The Application gives free access to the map of areas, the list of boulder problems and circuits, their annotated photos, the search and practical information (conditions, Forest Pass). It does not require an account.

Some services are provided by third-party websites to which the Application links (crashpad rental, Forest Pass, bleau.info). Their own terms then apply.

Safety and liability

Bouldering is an activity that involves risks. You practise it at your own risk.

The information in the Application (locations, grades, lines, access, photos, conditions) is provided for guidance only. It comes partly from contributions and may be incomplete, inaccurate or out of date. It does not replace your own judgement or the safety rules of climbing.

Respect the forest regulations, area closures and the instructions of the French National Forests Office (ONF).

To the extent permitted by law, the Publisher cannot be held liable for damage resulting from climbing or from the use of the information provided. The Publisher strives to keep the Application available but cannot guarantee it at all times.

Intellectual property

The Fontainebleau Crashpads trademark and logo are owned by the Bleausard World group. The elements specific to the Application (visual identity, texts, layouts) are protected.

The Application builds on the Boolder project: its source code is published under the MIT license and its open data under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license (CC BY 4.0). This data has been adapted by the Publisher. Details of the sources and licenses are on the Credits page.

Photographs, third-party names and logos remain the property of their authors. You may not reuse them without their permission.

Acceptable use

You agree not to disrupt the operation of the Application, not to extract its contents in bulk and not to misuse its information.

Personal data

The use of your data is described in our privacy policy.

Changes to the Terms

The Publisher may change these Terms. The date of the last update is shown at the top of this page. In the event of a significant change, you will be informed by any appropriate means.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, please contact us first at hello(at)fontainebleau-crashpads.com to seek an amicable solution. Failing that, the French courts have jurisdiction, subject to the protective rules you benefit from as a consumer.
