1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Run Clubs App ("the Service", "Platform", "we", "us", or "our"), you ("User", "you", or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

Run Clubs App is a platform that aggregates and displays information about running clubs, including:

Run club meeting locations, schedules, and contact information
Run club events and activities
Route information and maps
Community-submitted content

3. Data Sources and Verification

Public sources: Social media accounts, websites, and publicly available information
User-submitted data: Information provided by run club founders and community members
Third-party sources: Data aggregated from various public platforms

3.2 Verification Status

Run Clubs App uses a verification badge system:

Verified Badge (✓): Indicates that a run club founder has registered their club on Run Clubs App and claimed ownership. This badge ONLY confirms that someone has registered the club through our platform.
Unverified Listings: Run clubs without a verification badge have been added from publicly available sources and have not been claimed by their founders.

Run Clubs App does NOT independently verify, validate, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information displayed on the Platform, including but not limited to meeting locations, event schedules, contact information, route details, safety information, club membership requirements, or fees.

Run Clubs App is NOT responsible or liable for:

Incorrect, outdated, or misleading information about run clubs
Changes to schedules, locations, or events not updated on the Platform

Disputes between users and run clubs
Cancellations, changes, or no-shows at listed events
Quality, safety, or organization of any run club or event

4.4 No Endorsement

The listing of a run club on our Platform does NOT constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee of safety, quality, or legitimacy. The verification badge indicates only that someone has registered through our platform and does NOT imply any verification of safety, credentials, or quality.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF INFORMATION, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE SERVICE.

6. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Run Clubs App, its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, investigations, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements, interest, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) that directly or indirectly arise from or are related to your use of the Service, your attendance at any run club event, any injuries or harm experienced, any violation of these Terms, or any violation of applicable laws or regulations.

7. User Responsibilities

7.1 Due Diligence

You agree to:

Independently verify all information before relying on it
Contact run clubs directly to confirm schedules, locations, and event details
Exercise reasonable care and caution when attending events or visiting locations
Assess your own fitness level and medical condition before participating in running activities
Comply with all applicable laws and regulations

7.2 Safety

You acknowledge that:

Running and physical activity carry inherent risks
Meeting strangers or visiting unfamiliar locations carries risks
You are solely responsible for your personal safety
You should inform someone of your whereabouts when attending events
You should assess weather conditions, terrain, and other safety factors independently

7.3 User-Generated Content and Community Conduct

The Service includes features where users can post content visible to others, including club group chats, messages, profiles, and other community features. By using these features you agree that you will not post content that is abusive, harassing, threatening, defamatory, obscene, hateful, discriminatory, sexually explicit, illegal, or that infringes the rights of others.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for objectionable content and abusive users. The Service provides tools to report objectionable content or users and to block abusive users directly within the app (for example, by long-pressing a message or opening a member's profile in a club chat). Reports are sent to the relevant club moderator and to the Run Clubs App team, and we act on reports of objectionable content within 24 hours — including removing the content and ejecting the user responsible where warranted.

Club chats are moderated by the club's founder, who may remove messages and members at their discretion. Run Clubs App may additionally monitor, remove, or restrict any content or account at any time, without notice, to protect users or comply with law. You remain solely responsible for content you post, and you grant Run Clubs App a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute it as part of operating the Service.

To report content or conduct outside the app, contact us at info@runclubsapp.com.

8. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

8.1 Binding Arbitration

YOU AND RUN CLUBS APP AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, or either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to prevent infringement of intellectual property rights.

8.2 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND RUN CLUBS APP AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

9. Changes to Terms

Run Clubs App reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify users of material changes by posting the updated Terms on the Platform, updating the "Last Updated" date, and sending email notifications to registered users. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.
