Our Geocaching platform is open to all cachers and free to publish all legal kinds of geocaches. However, we would like to point out that our geocaching websites do have special principles and goals:

;<p class="ocp3">Geocaching with heart and mind!</p>
There are no binding rules regarding hiding a geocache but most cachers prefer geocaches with a certain quality level. We want geocaching to be a pleasant experience. We favor geocaches which bring fun to geocaching, show places of interest, history, nature or a special hiding place.

<p class="ocp3">Opencaching is non-commercial</p>
;<p class="ocp3">Opencaching is non-commercial</p>
It is a fundamental principle of Opencaching, not to allow that others earn money out of your caches or logs. The "NC" = "Non-Commercial" part of the [[Data license|data license]] is ensuring that. The team members are all volunteers and do not gain benefit from their membership.

;<p class="ocp3">Opencaching encourages owners' responsibility</p>
Each owner is responsible for the listings of her/his geocache(s). There are now binding rules how to describe or design the descriptions as long as cachers can find the geocache and legal regulations are observed. The owner can decide the status of a geocache, for example the time of publication of a new geocache. Furthermore, an owner can even reactivate a geocache from the archive if useful.

<p class="ocp3">Opencaching is fair and user-oriented</p>
;<p class="ocp3">Opencaching is fair and user-oriented</p>
Für alle Nutzer gelten die gleichen, transparenten und vernünftigen [[Regeln]]. Es gibt keine Vorschriften, wie ein Cache aussehen oder versteckt sein soll oder darf.  
:All users are bound to the same understandable and reasonable [http://www.opencaching.de/articles.php?page=impressum#tos terms of use]. There are no binding rules how and where to hide a geocache or how a geocache has to look like.
:The Opencaching team acts in the interest of the website's users. Support requests or geocache reports (function "Report this cache") are handled case-related and reliable.  


Das Opencaching-Team sieht sich als Vetreter der Nutzer. Nutzeranfragen und [[Cache melden|Cachemeldungen]] werden individuell und zuverlässig bearbeitet.  
;<p class="ocp3">Opencaching helps to protect nature</p>
:The Opencaching websites display an information if a geocache is located within a [[Nature protection areas|protected area]]. Cachers therefore know that they have to respect special regulations in the vicinity of the geocache. If a geocache is reported as in conflict with nature protection, the support team might archive a geocache after a case-by-case review.  


<p class="ocp3">Opencaching fördert den Naturschutz</p>
;<p class="ocp3">Opencaching is open for new ideas</p>
Nutzer werden über Naturschutzgebiete informiert und erhalten zusätzliche Hinweise zum [[Naturschutz|naturverträglichen Cachen]]. Naturunverträgliche Caches werden nach ''Einzelfallprüfung'' deaktiviert.  
:There are established habits and written and unwritten rules in geocaching. But Opencaching might go new ways or try new ideas. The same counts on owners' creativity that might produce unprecedented geocaches.
:In the past, Opencaching introduced a recommendation system, a user-friendly editor and new innovative map functionalities.


<p class="ocp3">Opencaching ist offen für Neues</p>
;<p class="ocp3">Opencaching is no competitive sports</p>
Unabhängig von Geocaching-Gewohnheiten und einem ungeschriebenen oder geschriebenen Regelwerk kann Opencaching neue Wege gehen und neue Ideen realisieren. Gleiches gilt auch für die Cachebesitzer, deren Kreativität bei der Ausgestaltung ihrer Caches keine Grenzen gesetzt sind.
:Opencaching is about single caches not power trails. We do not wish to promote geocaching as an competition. Statistic shall not supersede quality. Therefore we do not provide sophisticated statistics. We prefer geocaches which are only listed at one of the Opencaching websites - so called '''OConly'''-geocaches.
 
Opencaching hat mit technischen Features wie dem Empfehlungssystem, dem leistungsfähigen Beschreibungseditor und den Kartenfunktionen neue Maßstäbe gesetzt und will auch in Zukunft mit Innovationen vorangehen.
 
<p class="ocp3">Opencaching ist bewusstes Geocaching</p>
Der Schwerpunkt von Opencaching liegt auf einzelnen Caches statt auf „[[Statistikcacher|Masse]]“; daher wurde bewusst auf ausgefeilte Statistikfunktionen verzichtet. Vor allem die nur auf OC gelisteten [[OConly]]-Caches sind etwas Besonderes. Es gilt also: Klasse statt Masse.
