    Default Premium membership issue

    Two of my caches are premium membership caches. I made them 'members only' because of potential dangers associated with them. The logic being to prevent non-cachers, especially children, from signing up for free, reading the listing on the web and attempting them without heeding the advice in the listing.

    My Groundspeak membership is now expiring and I am choosing to not renew. Can anyone advise whether I would still be able to see my own premium caches as the owner or will I loose access to them altogether without opening them up to all?

    You will lose access to them it came up a year ago and a reviewer had to change the status for the owner to none PM.

    Just make them into mystery caches with false starting coords this forces people to read the cache page, as a PM my children could read the cache page , safety of children is down to the parent not you.

    Thanks for the confirmation M&L, I've consequently downgraded them.

    I agree with what you say about parental responsibility but I'd be a fool to believe that all children are under the watchful eye of their parents all the time, indeed that all parents are 'responsible'.

    I archived a cache because some tube tried to push their kid under a bridge to retrieve the box. I don’t care what anyone says, I don’t think disclaimers would make any difference in the event of a serious accident.

    What cache was it? If you don't mind me asking?
    I'm just going outside, and may be some time!

    Legally, I don't think a disclaimer makes a difference. I think you're in the clear either way. Groundspeak is based in the most litigious country in the world and one of the partners is a licensed attorney; if there were serious legal issues about caching under any legal system in the Anglo-Saxon tradition, we'd have heard about them by now.

    However, if I thought someone might get hurt on one of my caches, I'd archive it like a shot.

    About 20 years ago a 7-year-old boy ran out onto a dual carriageway and I hit him in my car. I was sober, under the speed limit, with my wife and baby in the car, it was entirely his fault, and he "only" had a broken arm and some bruising. But I still felt awful for weeks afterwards.
