If you are under the age required to enter into a legally binding agreement in your country, you may only use HorsePal with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

You must notify us as soon as reasonably possible if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.
You must not share your login credentials in a way that could compromise the security of your account or the Service.
4. Your Horse Records and Information
HorsePal allows you to enter, store and manage information about your horse or horses.
You are responsible for the accuracy, completeness and currency of the information you enter into HorsePal.
HorsePal does not independently verify information entered by users, including veterinary records, vaccination dates, medication information, appointment information, health records, identification details or reminders.
You should always retain any important original veterinary, ownership, identification, insurance or other records where appropriate.
HorsePal should not be treated as the sole permanent storage location for critical information.
5. Veterinary and Health Disclaimer
HorsePal is designed to assist with the organisation and management of horse-related information.
HorsePal does not provide veterinary advice.
Information available through HorsePal, including reminders, records, notes, schedules or other features, is provided for organisational and informational purposes only.
- veterinary advice;
- a veterinary diagnosis;
- medical advice;
- treatment recommendations;
- medication instructions;
- professional animal health advice; or
- a substitute for consultation with a qualified veterinarian or other appropriately qualified equine professional.
If you have concerns regarding the health, welfare or safety of a horse, you should contact a qualified veterinarian or appropriate equine professional.
In an emergency, you should contact a veterinarian or relevant emergency service directly and should not rely on HorsePal.
6. Reminders and Notifications
HorsePal may allow users to create reminders for matters such as vaccinations, veterinary appointments, farrier visits, dental care, treatments and other activities.
Reminders and notifications are provided as a convenience only.
We cannot guarantee that a notification will always be delivered at a particular time or at all.
- device settings;
- notification permissions;
- internet connectivity;
- operating system settings;
- battery-saving settings;
- third-party services;
- incorrect information entered by the user; or
- technical interruptions.
You remain responsible for monitoring important dates, appointments, treatments and other obligations relating to your horse.
You should not rely exclusively on HorsePal notifications for time-sensitive veterinary care, medication, vaccinations or other important matters.
7. Subscriptions
Certain HorsePal features may require a paid subscription.
Current subscription options and pricing will be displayed within HorsePal or through the relevant app marketplace before purchase.
Subscription fees may be charged through third-party platforms such as the Apple App Store, Google Play, or another authorised payment provider.
By purchasing a subscription, you authorise the applicable payment provider to charge the subscription fee in accordance with the subscription option you select.
Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase, subscriptions may automatically renew until cancelled.
You are responsible for cancelling your subscription before the applicable renewal date if you do not wish for it to renew.
Cancellation and billing may be managed through the platform through which you purchased your subscription.
Deleting the HorsePal application does not necessarily cancel an active subscription.
8. Free Trials and Promotional Periods
HorsePal may offer free trials, introductory periods, discounts or other promotional offers from time to time.
The duration and conditions of any offer will be displayed when you sign up.
Where a free trial automatically converts into a paid subscription, this will be disclosed before you subscribe.
Unless you cancel before the end of the applicable trial period, your subscription may automatically convert to a paid subscription and the applicable subscription fee may be charged.
Promotional offers may be subject to eligibility requirements and may be changed or withdrawn where permitted by law.
9. Pricing Changes
HorsePal may change subscription pricing from time to time.
Where required, existing subscribers will receive appropriate notice of changes to their subscription price.
Any pricing change will be implemented in accordance with applicable law and the requirements of the platform through which the subscription was purchased.
10. Cancellations and Refunds
You may cancel your HorsePal subscription through the platform or payment provider through which you subscribed.
Cancellation generally prevents future renewals but does not necessarily provide a refund for an existing subscription period.
Refund requests for purchases made through Apple or Google may be subject to the refund policies and processes of those platforms.
Nothing in these Terms limits any rights or remedies you may have under applicable consumer protection laws, including the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and Fair Trading Act 1986, where those laws apply.
