Run Vibes Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and Run Vibes (“Run Vibes”, “we”). They govern your use of getrunvibes.com, challenges.getrunvibes.com, and related services (the “Services”). If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Accepting these Terms

By creating an account, linking a third-party account (such as RunSignup), or otherwise using the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy and, if you participate in challenges, our Challenge conduct policy.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services. If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction that sets a higher age of digital consent, you must meet that age (16 in most of the EEA/UK) or have verifiable parental or legal-guardian consent. You represent that the personal information you provide is accurate and that you are not barred from using the Services under any applicable law.

3. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your credentials secret and for all activity on your account. Notify us at support@getrunvibes.com promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. You may close your account at any time from Challenges account settings; deletion is permanent (see the Privacy Policy for retention details).

4. Acceptable use

Do not do any of the following on the Services:

• Submit false, misleading, or manipulated race results, registrations, or profile information.
• Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with a race, timer, or charity.
• Access or attempt to access another user's account, data, or connected third-party accounts without authorization.
• Scrape, crawl, or otherwise harvest data from the Services except via interfaces we publish, or use automated tools to create accounts, post entries, or evade rate limits.
• Attempt to disable, circumvent, or interfere with our security controls or rate limits.
• Post content that is illegal, harassing, defamatory, or that infringes the intellectual-property or privacy rights of others.
• Use the Services to send spam, or to host or distribute malware.

We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these rules; see Section 11.

5. Free and fee-based features

Core participation in the Services is free of charge. Certain challenges or features may require payment (for example, entry fees collected via Stripe or RunSignup). Fees and refunds are spelled out at checkout. Stripe and RunSignup checkout terms apply alongside these Terms.

6. Your content and license

You retain ownership of the data you submit (“Your Content”), including profile details, race results, journal entries, and photos. You grant Run Vibes a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, display, and adapt Your Content as needed to operate, secure, and improve the Services and to show it on the public portions of the Services you have opted into (for example, public leaderboards and profile pages). This license ends when you delete the relevant content or your account, except to the extent we must retain records for security, fraud, legal, or audit purposes as described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Third-party services

The Services connect to other companies when you use certain features: RunSignup for race registrations and results, Stripe for payments, and other providers listed in our Privacy Policy for hosting and support. Your use of each company is governed by its own terms and privacy policy; we do not control them or their services. When you disconnect an integration, we stop syncing from that source, revoke access, and delete the connection details we stored for it.

8. Intellectual property

Run Vibes and our licensors own the Services, including the software, design, logos, and written content (other than Your Content). Except for the limited license to use the Services granted by these Terms, no rights are transferred. Feedback you provide may be used by us without obligation.

9. Copyright claims

If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, send a notice with the information required under 17 U.S.C. Section 512(c)(3) to support@getrunvibes.com. We may terminate accounts of repeat infringers.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Run Vibes disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Running and organized athletic events carry inherent risk. You are solely responsible for deciding whether you are fit to participate in any event you see on the Services; we are not your trainer, medical advisor, or race organizer.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Run Vibes and its officers, employees, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of the Services. Our aggregate liability for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the aggregate fees received by us from you in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim or (b) US $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

12. Indemnity

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Run Vibesfrom and against any claim, damage, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) Your Content, (b) your breach of these Terms, or (c) your violation of law or the rights of any third party through your use of the Services.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, submitted falsified results, or created risk for other users. You may terminate these Terms at any time by deleting your account. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive (including Sections 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15).

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Services will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. Nothing in this Section prevents you from bringing a small-claims court action in your place of residence where the law allows.

15. Changes

We may change these Terms from time to time. Material changes are reflected by updating the version and effective date on this page, and we may ask signed-in users to re-accept updated terms before certain account actions.
