This document is a placeholder describing the real shape of our terms. It has not been reviewed by legal counsel and must not be relied upon as a binding agreement until that review is complete.
By creating an account or using Run Buddy, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. You confirm that the information you provide (age, biometrics, race history) is accurate to the best of your knowledge — the quality of your training plan depends on it.
Run Buddy generates training plans using software and AI. The output is informational and is not medical advice. Running can cause injury. Before starting any new training plan, and especially if you have a medical condition, consult a qualified physician or coach. You assume all risk associated with following workouts generated by the service.
If you connect Strava, you authorize Run Buddy to read your activity data on your behalf via Strava's API. Your Strava OAuth tokens are stored server-side and used solely to fetch activities. You may revoke this access at any time from Strava's settings or by disconnecting Strava in Run Buddy.
Coaching notes, plan adaptations, and workout descriptions are produced by an AI model (Claude, by Anthropic). AI output may be wrong, inconsistent, or unsuitable for your situation. Use judgment. If a workout feels unsafe or wrong, skip it and consult a human coach.
We do not claim ownership of the AI-generated coaching tailored to your plan; you may use it for your personal training. We do retain the right to use anonymized prompt/response pairs to improve the service.
You agree not to:
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules, with or without notice.
The Run Buddy name, the application, the training engine, the workout library, and the periodization logic are our property or licensed to us. Your training data and your activity history remain yours.
Run Buddy may offer free and paid tiers. Pricing, billing terms, and refund policies for paid plans will be presented at the point of purchase and are incorporated into these Terms by reference. We may change prices with reasonable notice; changes do not apply to already-billed periods.
The service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI output will be accurate.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Run Buddy and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or USD $100 if you have not paid us anything.
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising from your misuse of the service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party right.
You may stop using the service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or if continued operation would expose us to legal risk. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (IP, disclaimers, liability limits) survive.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Run Buddy is operated, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction unless mandatory consumer protection law in your country provides otherwise.
We may update these Terms over time. The “Last updated” date will reflect any change. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notice before they take effect. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
