Terms of use
This is a translation for your convenience. Only the German version is legally binding.
These Terms of Use apply to the use of Stablerating.com and Stallbewertung.de, operated by Dr. Kannt IMS GmbH, Parkstrasse 24, 82065 Baierbrunn, Germany (“we”). Last updated: November 2026.
1. General
1.1 These Terms of Use apply to any use of our website and the services offered on it, with or without a user account. By registering, you accept them.
1.2 Paid services for stable operators (e.g. certification, premium listings, advertising) are additionally subject to the terms stated when booking.
1.3 Advertisers alone are responsible for the content of advertising on our pages.
2. Our service
2.1 Stablerating.com is a directory of riding stables and equestrian facilities with first-hand reviews by riders. Without an account you can search for stables and view profiles, ratings and top lists.
2.2 With a free user account you can rate stables, comment and add new stables.
2.3 There is no right to have ratings, comments, photos or stable entries published. Nor is there a right to uninterrupted availability of the website; we may temporarily restrict the service for maintenance and technical work.
2.4 Writing and reading ratings is not remunerated.
3. User account
3.1 Each person may hold only one user account, even if they have several e-mail addresses. Accounts are not transferable.
3.2 The details you give when registering must be accurate. Please choose a username that does not contain your full name or e-mail address, as it is shown publicly with your comments. Usernames that infringe third-party rights or are offensive are not permitted.
3.3 Keep your password secret. If you notice unauthorised use of your account, please tell us immediately at [email protected].
3.4 You can have your account deleted at any time without notice by writing to [email protected] from the e-mail address registered. Your published ratings remain without any link to you unless you expressly ask for them to be removed.
3.5 In case of false details, abuse or reasonable suspicion of it, we may block or delete an account.
4. Rules for ratings, comments and stable entries
4.1 Ratings reflect your own honest experience with a stable. They should be factual and based on what you have experienced yourself.
4.2 Content is not permitted if it
- is advertising, or advertising disguised as a review,
- states untrue facts, insults, disparages, defames or exposes people,
- contains other people’s personal data, such as names, phone numbers or addresses of stable staff or boarders,
- is indecent, pornographic, discriminatory or otherwise unlawful,
- infringes copyright, trademarks or other third-party rights, in particular photos you hold no rights to,
- contains malware or mainly spreads political, ideological or religious messages.
4.3 No manipulation: Influencing ratings is prohibited. This applies in particular if operators, tenants or staff of a stable
- rate their own stable or give competitors poor ratings,
- ask only selected boarders for a rating, or ask for a rating that is as positive as possible,
- offer something in return for ratings or act in a similarly manipulative way.
Operators are expressly welcome to point all their boarders equally to Stablerating.com.
4.4 Each user account may add at most five stables and rate at most five stables. In justified cases we may adjust this limit for an account.
4.5 It is also prohibited to generate page views, ratings or content using programs or other automated means, or to extract our content automatically.
5. Review and moderation
5.1 We review posts and, in case of a breach of these Terms of Use or of applicable law, may
- not publish, remove or block them,
- shorten them or add a notice, e.g. about suspected manipulation,
- hide them provisionally on reasonable suspicion.
5.2 In case of repeated or serious breaches we may exclude users permanently. We reserve the right to take further civil and criminal action.
5.3 If we remove a post or block an account, we tell you the reasons where we know your e-mail address. You can contest the decision at [email protected]; we will then review it again.
5.4 Anyone can report content they consider illegal or inadmissible using the “Report” function on the post or by e-mail to [email protected]. We handle reports promptly and inform about the outcome.
6. Stable operators
6.1 Stable operators can request corrections to their stable’s details and respond to ratings. They cannot demand the deletion of a permissible rating merely because it is critical.
6.2 Please report ratings you consider incorrect or inadmissible. We review them, obtain a statement from the author if necessary, and then decide.
7. Rights to your content
7.1 You remain the author of your posts. You confirm that you hold all rights to the texts and photos you post.
7.2 You grant us a free, non-exclusive right, unlimited in territory and time, to publish, store, translate and technically adapt your posts on our websites and our own channels, and to shorten them in the course of moderation. This right continues if you delete your account; at your request we remove individual posts.
7.3 If third parties assert claims against us because of a post you culpably published unlawfully, you indemnify us against these claims, including reasonable legal defence costs. We will inform you immediately and coordinate the approach with you.
8. Our content
The content of Stablerating.com is protected by copyright and as a database (Sections 87a et seq. of the German Copyright Act). Reproduction, distribution or publication, even in part and in particular for commercial purposes, requires our prior written consent. A copy for private, non-commercial use with the source stated is permitted. Please send requests to [email protected].
9. Liability
9.1 Ratings and comments reflect the subjective opinion of their authors at the time of their visit. We do not adopt them as our own and give no guarantee that they are correct, complete or up to date. The content of Stablerating.com does not constitute advice.
9.2 We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for injury to life, body or health. In cases of slight negligence we are liable only for breach of an essential contractual obligation – one whose fulfilment makes proper use possible in the first place and on which you may regularly rely – and then limited to the foreseeable, typical damage. Liability under the German Product Liability Act remains unaffected.
10. Data protection
How we handle your data is described in our Privacy Policy. Ratings are shown without a name, comments under your username; your e-mail address is never public.
11. Changes
We may change these Terms of Use with effect for the future if our service, the law or case law changes. We will inform registered users by e-mail at least four weeks before the changes take effect. If you do not object within this period, the changes are deemed accepted; we will point out this consequence in the notice. If you object, you can have your account deleted.
12. Final provisions
12.1 The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive them of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which they have their habitual residence.
12.2 If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction is Munich.
12.3 Should individual provisions of these Terms of Use be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
