  1. WARRANTY PERIOD

The warranty period covers the trip of the guaranteed horse in the vehicle of HTE or HTE partner. The starting point of the trip is considered to be the closing of the door of the means of transport (truck, trailer) after loading the horse(s).

The journey is considered completed when the horse with the guarantee has been unloaded from the means of transport at the agreed destination.

  • transport to the previously agreed point of arrival after the horse is fit for transport;

Up to the maximum amount of compensation, which is 5000€.

The price of this service is 50€ when the transport is in Finland or the Baltics, or 100€ for other European countries.

  1. EXCLUSIONS
  • The guarantor has no obligation to compensate for damage if the illness was caused by the aggravation or duration of the consequence of the illness or injury that began before the conclusion of the guarantee contract, unless otherwise agreed in a reproducible form.
