German Horse Trading GmbH, hereinafter referred to as “GHT”, operates the website germanhorsetrading.auction as an online platform for the presentation, mediation and organization of online auctions in the field of horse sales.
GHT provides the technical and organizational platform for sellers, buyers, bidders and interested parties. Unless expressly stated otherwise, GHT is not the owner of the horses offered and does not become a party to the purchase agreement between seller and buyer.
The purchase agreement for a horse offered on the platform is concluded exclusively between the respective seller and the buyer. GHT assumes no guarantee, warranty or liability for the performance of the purchase agreement, the condition of the horse or any other obligations of the contracting parties.
GHT acts exclusively as a technical and organizational mediation service provider. All information regarding the horses offered, including but not limited to age, pedigree, level of training, competition experience, health condition, X-rays, veterinary examinations, character, suitability, usability or sporting potential, is generally based on information provided by the respective seller or third parties commissioned by the seller.
GHT does not assume any liability for the accuracy, completeness, timeliness or legal reliability of such information. The information provided on the website is intended solely as initial information for interested parties and does not constitute a guarantee, agreed quality or warranty statement by GHT.
Interested parties and bidders are responsible for obtaining sufficient information about the respective horse before placing a bid. This includes the possibility to review available documents, ask questions to the seller or GHT and inspect the horse by prior appointment, either personally or through their own experts, veterinarians or advisors.
Horses are living animals. Their health, behavior, performance and sporting development may change at any time. GHT therefore does not assume any guarantee or liability for:
Veterinary examinations, X-rays or clinical reports merely represent a snapshot at the time of the respective examination. They do not replace the buyer’s own inspection and do not constitute a guarantee by GHT.
GHT makes reasonable efforts to prepare and update the content on its website carefully. However, GHT does not assume any liability for the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the content provided.
As a platform operator, GHT is not obliged to comprehensively verify all information provided by sellers or third parties before publication. Liability for third-party content exists only in accordance with statutory provisions.
If users become aware of unlawful, incorrect or misleading content, GHT kindly asks for notification so that the content can be reviewed and, if necessary, corrected or removed.
The GHT website may contain links to external third-party websites. GHT has no influence on the content of such external websites.
The respective provider or operator of the linked websites is solely responsible for their content. GHT assumes no liability for external content accessible via links. At the time of linking, no unlawful content was apparent. If GHT becomes aware of legal violations, such links will be reviewed and, where appropriate, removed.
GHT strives to ensure the smooth operation of the website and auction platform. However, uninterrupted availability cannot be guaranteed.
To the extent permitted by law, GHT assumes no liability for technical disruptions, server failures, connection interruptions, transmission errors, delayed bid submissions, maintenance work, cyberattacks or other technical limitations that are outside GHT’s control or occur despite appropriate technical safeguards.
GHT is entitled to interrupt, extend, restart or cancel auctions in the event of technical problems, force majeure or other circumstances that impair the proper conduct of the auction.
The information provided on the website does not constitute legal, tax, insurance or veterinary advice.
Buyers and sellers are responsible for obtaining their own advice from lawyers, tax advisors, insurance brokers, veterinarians or other experts where required. This applies in particular to matters concerning purchase agreements, VAT, export, transport, insurance, warranties, withdrawal rights, veterinary findings or international sales.
All content, texts, images, videos, logos, graphics and other materials published on the website are protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights.
Any reproduction, editing, distribution, storage or other use beyond the limits permitted by law requires the prior written consent of GHT or the respective rights holder.
Sellers who provide content, photos, videos or documents to GHT warrant that they possess the necessary rights and that publication does not infringe any third-party rights.
This disclaimer forms part of GHT’s online offering. If individual provisions of this text are or become invalid in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
