Terms of service governing use of our website

All content published on this website — including text, original route descriptions, navigational analyses, custom tables, photographic assets, logos, and software code — is the proprietary property of VigneteRey or its licensors and is protected by Austrian and international copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws.

You are granted a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view content for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, scrape, or commercially exploit any material from this site without our prior written consent.

While our editorial desk exercises diligent care to maintain the accuracy and currency of road data, toll guidelines, speed limits, and alpine pass opening schedules, road conditions change rapidly due to weather, construction, and administrative decrees. VigneteRey provides all content on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

Motorists remain solely responsible for verifying official road signs, obeying local traffic laws, and exercising sound personal judgment while driving. We disclaim all liability for any traffic fines, substitute toll penalties, mechanical damage, travel delays, or collisions resulting from reliance on our published materials.

When accessing our website or using our communication channels, you agree not to engage in any activity that impairs website security or disrupts services. Prohibited actions include:

• 1 Malicious Code Injection: Introducing viruses, trojans, worms, logic bombs, or other malicious software code aimed at corrupting repository services.
• 2 Automated Scraping: Utilizing automated web scrapers, bots, data extraction scripts, or automated site mirroring tools without prior express authorization.
• 3 Fraudulent Communications: Submitting false, fraudulent, defamatory, harassing, or unlawful communications through our contact inquiries or editorial feedback channels.
• 4 Infrastructure Intrusion: Attempting to gain unauthorized access to our server infrastructure, private databases, hosting configurations, or restricted administrative networks.

Violations of platform security will be investigated and may result in immediate revocation of site access privileges and reporting to competent Austrian judicial or law enforcement authorities.

Our website contains references and hyperlinks to third-party web destinations, including official transport agencies (e.g., ASFINAG), federal ministries, automobile clubs (ÖAMTC, ARBÖ), and meteorological services. These links are provided solely for user convenience.

VigneteRey exercises no editorial control over the content, security, or privacy practices of external websites. Inclusion of any third-party hyperlink does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation with the linked entity. Accessing external websites is done entirely at your own risk.

To the maximum extent permitted under applicable Austrian law, VigneteRey, its directors, employees, and editorial contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from or related to your access to, use of, or inability to use this website.

This limitation applies to damages resulting from loss of data, travel delays, mechanical failures, fuel costs, toll enforcement penalties, or vehicle collisions. Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude liability for willful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit), or for personal injury resulting from proven culpability under the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB).

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless VigneteRey, its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) resulting from or arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of our website content, or your violation of any applicable traffic regulations, laws, or third-party rights while driving.

This obligation survives any termination of your access to our website or discontinuation of our editorial services.
