Terms of use

1. Scope

These terms govern the use of runometry.com (the "Site"), published by Timothy ALCAIDE (see the Legal notice). By browsing the Site you accept them.

2. What the Site provides

The Site publishes running shoe spec sheets (weight, drop, stack heights, plate, foam…), editorial ratings, comparisons, guides, and prices collected from third-party retailers. Specifications are transcribed from the brands' sources and labelled "verified" or "unverified"; ratings are editorial opinions; AI-assisted texts are reviewed before being presented as facts.

3. The Site sells nothing

Runometry is neither a seller nor a payment intermediary. Every purchase is concluded directly with the retailer, on its site, under its terms (price, delivery, returns, warranty). Prices come from the product feeds of partner retailers, read at least once a day; each offer shows when the retailer updated its data and is no longer shown after 3 days without an update. Prices are shown without delivery by default; on request, the delivered price adds standard home delivery to your country, estimated from the rates the retailer publishes, and an unverified delivery is flagged. Only the price shown by the retailer at checkout applies. Converted amounts ("≈") are indicative, at the ECB reference rate.

4. Ranking of offers and partner links

Offers are ranked from the lowest to the highest price, delivery excluded (or, when you choose to show prices with delivery, on that estimated total); the affiliate commission has no effect on this order. Links to retailers are affiliate links: they may earn the Site a commission without changing the price you pay.

5. Liability

The Site is provided "as is". Despite our care, a specification, a rating or a price may be inaccurate or outdated. Runometry cannot be held liable for a purchase made on the basis of this information, for the content, prices, delivery or service of third-party retailers, or for an interruption of the Site.

6. Intellectual property and use of the Site

The Site's content and database are protected by copyright and by the database maker's right (French Intellectual Property Code, art. L111-1 and L341-1 et seq., see the Legal notice). You may browse the Site, share its pages and quote short excerpts with the source and a link.

Without the publisher's prior written permission, and whatever the means (robot, script, automated browser, extension, direct calls to the Site's data files), the following are prohibited:

• extracting, scraping, crawling or reproducing all or a substantial part of the content or database, or insubstantial parts repeatedly and systematically;
• text and data mining;
• using the content to train, fine-tune or evaluate an artificial intelligence model, or to build a corpus or data set;
• any reuse, commercial or not, of the spec sheets, ratings or price records, in particular to build a competing database or service.

The publisher expressly reserves the Site against text and data mining within the meaning of art. L122-5-3, III of the French Intellectual Property Code (Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790). Still allowed, within the limits of robots.txt: crawling by search engines and by artificial intelligence answer engines and assistants, including reading a page at a user's request, solely to show, briefly summarise or cite a page with a link to it; this grants no right to train or to take over the database. Sole exception: Google may use the content for its Gemini models as long as the Google-Extended token of robots.txt allows it (see the Legal notice).

The publisher may limit or block any automated or abnormally intensive access without notice. Permission requests: contact@runometry.com.

7. Personal data

See the Privacy policy.

8. Changes

Runometry may change the Site and these terms at any time; the dated online version applies.

9. Applicable law

These terms are governed by French law; this English version is a translation and the French version prevails. As nothing is sold on the Site, consumer mediation does not apply to your relationship with Runometry; disputes about a purchase are handled by the retailer concerned. Failing an amicable settlement (contact@runometry.com), the French courts have jurisdiction.
