1. We explicitly make reference to the new breeding rules which apply as from 01/01/2016, which apply to the respective stallion semen ordered from the in­semination station, since, as from 2016, only approved stallions can be regis­tered and are licensed for breeding. To that extent, reference is made to the full content that is accessible in the general guidelines of the Breeding Association Regulations

2. Orders of semen can – subject to the semen being available in sufficient quan­tity as at the date of the enquiry.
3. The breeding certificates required in accordance with the re­spective current breeding regulations need to be submitted to the insemina­tion station at the beginning of the breeding season – and not, for example, to the customer’s veterinary surgeon. The breeding certificates will be passed on to the breeders’ association (ANCCE) responsible by the insemination station at the latest by the end of the breeding season.
4. The insemination agreement handed over by the insemination station is to be signed upon placing the first order of semen as the semen cannot be dispatched until the insemination agreement has been signed. The use of a mare in the embryo transfer procedure is mandatorily to be specified by the custom­er with each order/insemination. The stud fees specified are to be paid for each embryo rinsed out in the embryo transfer procedure .
5. Additional shipping costs are incurred when semen is shipped. The respective current price lists, as well as the terms and conditions of shipping deep-frozen semen, can be inspected/enquired about at the insemination station. No semen is shipped on Sundays or public holidays, however it is possible to collect it on any day. In exceptional cases, if it is ordered in good time on a Sunday or a pub­lic holiday, and only following prior consultation with the insemination station, the semen may already be handed over to the customer at an agreed address on the following working day.
6. Upon the semen being handed over, the risk of impairment and the loss of the semen shall pass to the customer personally, or otherwise to any respective in­dividual authorised by the customer or the carrier desired by the customer. Any liability for damage in transit is excluded. Any complaints are to be detailed immediately, at the breeding station, on the following day, otherwise the trans­port will be invoiced.
7. An advance payment shall be due for payment imme­diately upon delivery when the first order of semen is placed.
The above payment terms, for the stallion the full breeding fees shall be due for payment upon the first insemination. In the case of non-gestation of the mare by 1 December of the year in question, which is likewise to be certified by a veterinary surgeon, 50% of the breeding fees paid may – following prior consultation – be offset against any new order placed in the following year. No legal claim to offsetting exists.
8. The breeding fees shown shall be understood to be inclusive of the respective applicable VAT, and constitute final prices. The accommodation fees shown for stabling at the insemination station shall be understood to be net prices, exclu­sive of the respective applicable VAT.
9. Guest mares shall be accommodated at the station of Ramos Vet/San Enrique/Cadiz (javiramosvet@gmail.com), even with a foal, at the risk and on account of the owner personally. The daily rate for accommodating a guest mare shall amount to € 10.00. When accommodating the mare at the station, the owner declares his or her agreement to a veterinary surgeon or blacksmith being instructed by the insemination station, in his or her name and at his or her own expense, should the insemination station deem it necessary or expedient. The gynecological examination of the mares to be inseminated is to be carried out by the insemination station’s veterinary surgeon, and shall also be invoiced by the latter separately. The insemination station’s veterinary surgeon is not a vicarious agent of the insemination station. In the case of barren mares, except for maiden mares and mares in foal, a swab sample needs to be presented by the customer in advance of the insemination.
10. Traders need to notify the insemination station of any obvious defects in the semen supplied immediately upon receipt of the goods. Otherwise, assertion of the warranty claim is excluded.

In the case of entre­preneurs, the insemination station shall reserve the right of ownership in the goods until such time as all claims arising from the ongoing business relation­ship have been met in full.
12. The insemination station shall only be liable for intent or gross negligence. The disclaimer shall also not apply in the case of any personal injury that is based on an at least negligent breach of duty on the part of the insemination station or its vicarious agents. It shall likewise not apply to any other losses based on a grossly negligent breach of duty on the part of the insemination station or its vicarious agents.
