Equi-CaRe provides veterinary services in accordance with current standards of veterinary medicine within the framework of a mobile practice. Emergency cases may be referred to specialised third parties.

§ 5 Liability

The liability of Equi-CaRe is limited to cases of intent and gross negligence. No liability is assumed for treatment outcomes, as veterinary medicine does not recognise a guarantee of success.

Prescribed medications must be used as directed. Administration by the owner is carried out at the owner’s own responsibility. The return of opened or partially used medications is not accepted.

§ 9 Final Provisions

These terms are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. The place of jurisdiction is the registered location of Equi-CaRe. Should any individual provision of these GTC be found invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.
