Faktische Hinweise zur Nutzung der KI-gestützten Analyse der Hufrehe Alarm App 

These specific notices supplement our Terms of Use and explicitly concern the use of the AI-powered hoof analysis function.

1. No Medical or Veterinary Advice

The content provided, especially the AI-based hoof analysis, does not constitute medical, diagnostic, or therapeutic advice. The analysis is not a substitute for examination, diagnosis, or treatment by veterinarians, farriers, or other qualified professionals.

2. Multi-factorial Nature and Scope of Analysis

Laminitis is a multi-factorial disease. The App exclusively analyzes mechanical and image-based parameters of the hoof’s shape. The App does not record or evaluate the following factors:

• Nutrition / Metabolism / EMS / PPID / Liver or endocrinological diseases
• Husbandry, physical strain, or exercise
• Environmental factors
• Inflammatory, infectious, or systemic causes These factors must be assessed separately by qualified professionals. The App makes no claim to the completeness of the diagnostic assessment.

3. Technical Limitations & Potential AI Errors

The AI analysis is based on images provided by the user. Errors, misinterpretations, or technical inaccuracies may occur at any time due to:

• Poor image quality
• Incorrect angles or perspectives
• Incomplete data
• Technical limitations of the AI software As the system is AI-driven, evaluations are generated immediately without additional manual review. There is no guarantee of accuracy or correctness. Significant deviations may occur if the photo quality is deficient (e.g., poor lighting, blurriness) or if the hoof was not suitable for photography due to dirt, hair, or unsuitable backgrounds. This also applies if the user manually adjusts the analysis points after the initial AI output.

4. User Responsibility

All results and recommendations serve only as a non-binding orientation. The user remains solely and fully responsible for:

• Assessing the health status of their horse
• Seeking professional advice
• All decisions regarding treatment or husbandry

5. Disclaimer of Liability

The provider shall not be liable — except in cases of intent or gross negligence — for:

• Damages resulting from the use or incorrect interpretation of the analysis
• Health damages to the animal
• Economic losses
• Indirect or consequential damages Liability for lost profits, third-party damages, or special risks is excluded.

6. No Guarantee of Success or Effect

The provider is not liable for the achievement of any specific success or effect through the use of the analysis. In particular, no liability is assumed for the App’s ability to prevent, improve, or correctly detect laminitis.

7. Urgent Recommendation for Professional Inspection

In any case of suspected laminitis, lameness, pain, or acute deterioration, a veterinarian or qualified farrier must be consulted immediately.
