§ 12 Exclusion of liability
The individually commissioned feeding plans are based on the latest information from nutritional science, taking into account the BARF principles. It should be noted that the feed plans created do not meet the current scientific requirements for dogs and cats according to the National Research Council (NRC) for some nutrients. This applies in particular to the zinc and manganese requirements for adult animals and additionally to the calcium and phosphorus requirements for growing animals. Other requirements may also be affected depending on the specific feed plan. An actual deficiency of these nutrients can have health consequences for the animal. However, it should be noted that the requirement values mentioned take into account a bioavailability of the nutrients of only 10-50 %, i.e. it is assumed that 50-90 % of the ingested nutrient is not absorbed by the body. According to scientific findings, bioavailability is inhibited by so-called dietary antagonists such as phytate, which is found in cereals and soy. These feedstuffs are used in high quantities in commercial ready-made feeds, which is taken into account by the NRC requirement values. Due to the fact that these foods are only used in small quantities in BARF, it can be assumed that the nutrients are more bioavailable in a meat-based diet. A higher bioavailability would lead to a reduction in the relevant requirement values. To date, no scientifically proven, adjusted requirement values for BARFed animals have been published by the NRC. Pet owners who practice BARF therefore usually assume that a feed plan based on the structure of a prey animal will not cause deficiency symptoms despite not meeting some NRC requirement values. For this reason, the feed plans are used at the customer's risk. The information does not constitute medical advice and is not a substitute for medical diagnosis, advice and treatment by a veterinarian. Despite the utmost care, no guarantee can be given for the accuracy and completeness of the information. The success of the nutritional advice essentially depends on the cooperation and implementation of the instructions by the customer and cannot be guaranteed.

§ 13 Copyright
The information provided as part of the consultation (e.g. feed plans or information texts) is protected by copyright. The customer undertakes to recognize and comply with the copyrights. No copyrights, rights of use or other property rights to the content are transferred to the customer. The customer is only entitled to use the content for his own purposes. He is not entitled to make the content available on the Internet or otherwise to third parties for exploitation. This applies in particular to the publication of the content in social networks such as Facebook. Public reproduction or other further publication and commercial duplication of the content is expressly excluded. The customer may not remove copyright notices, trademarks and other legal reservations in the retrieved content. Copyright infringements will be prosecuted in all cases.

§ 14 Final provisions
Should any provision of these General Terms and Conditions be invalid, the remainder of the contract shall remain valid. The relevant statutory provisions shall apply in place of the invalid provision.
