1. Our client reserves the right to
   1. terminate this permission without notice
   2. remove the cache if necessary
   3. require the owner of the cache to relocate the cache and as owner you will be responsible for moving the cache within a reasonable period of being asked to do so.
2. The owner of the cache must:
   1. ensure that the cache is well maintained and only contains objects that are appropriate to the sport, e.g.:-
      • that it does not pose a threat to wildlife or livestock by being wrapped in plastic bags
      • it does not contain food/soap which might attract wildlife or livestock
      • that it does not contain matches, lighters, alcohol, knives or anything undesirable should a young child discover it.
   2. notify any persons, private or public bodies (both statutory and non statutory) that may need to be aware of the caches location and obtaining any other necessary consents that may be needed to place the cache at this location.  Such bodies may include for example the National Park, CADW, Commoners Association and Natural Resources Wales (formerly known as the Countryside Council for Wales).
      Note - if you wish to locate a geocache at a location that is for instance a Scheduled Ancient Monument you must obtain consent from CADW before you request consent from our clients.
   3. remove the cache when no longer required
   4. notify us when the cache is removed (unless the removal is at the request of our client)
   5. accept that a cache remains their responsibility and our client can accept no liability whatsoever for the cache, its contents or visitors to their property who may be searching for or visiting it.
   6. place caches:
      
      • in such a way so as to respect the sensitive nature of the property and avoid damage either by themselves or a searcher
        Note - a cache should not for instance be placed where a searcher could cause damage through their search.
      • in locations that avoid safety hazards for searchers

              Note - should any hazards be identified the owner must notify searchers of any safety considerations on the appropriate geocaching websites.
