Hosting

The Site is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, https://www.cloudflare.com. Pages are served from Cloudflare's global network; product photos are stored on Cloudflare R2.

What the Site is

Runometry is an information and comparison site about running shoes: spec sheets, editorial ratings, comparisons and prices collected from third-party retailers. Runometry sells nothing: every purchase happens on the retailer's site, under the retailer's terms. Displayed prices are collected automatically, dated and indicative; only the price shown by the retailer at checkout applies.

Partner links

Some retailer links are affiliate links, labelled "Partner link": if you buy after clicking one, the retailer pays Runometry a commission, at no extra cost to you. Ranking criteria: the offers for a model are ranked from the lowest to the highest price, delivery excluded (or on the estimated total if you show prices with delivery); this remuneration changes neither the price you pay nor the order of the offers. The retailers compared are Runometry's partners: the list is not exhaustive, and prices and sizes come from the retailers themselves, updated daily.

Intellectual property

The Site's structure, texts, ratings, comparisons, guides, code and graphics are protected by copyright (French Intellectual Property Code, "CPI", art. L111-1 et seq.) and belong to Timothy ALCAIDE. The shoe catalogue, spec sheets, ratings and price records form a database of which Timothy ALCAIDE is the maker: obtaining, verifying and presenting them is a substantial investment, protected by art. L341-1 et seq. of the CPI (EU Database Directive 96/9/EC).

Brands, model names and product photographs belong to their respective owners; photos are used with the brands' agreement or under the terms of partner retailers' programmes. Removal requests: contact@runometry.com.

Automated extraction, text and data mining, artificial intelligence

Without the publisher's prior written permission, the following are prohibited:

• extracting or re-using all or a qualitatively or quantitatively substantial part of the database's contents, and the repeated and systematic extraction or re-use of insubstantial parts (CPI art. L342-1 and L342-2);
• scraping, crawling and any automated collection of the Site's content, whatever the tool (robot, script, automated browser, extension, direct calls to the Site's data files);
• text and data mining of the Site;
• using all or part of the content to train, fine-tune or evaluate an artificial intelligence model, or to build a corpus or data set;
• an artificial intelligence system taking over all or a substantial part of the database (spec sheets, ratings, price records), beyond citing a page with a link to it.

Reservation of text and data mining rights. Under art. L122-5-3, III of the CPI (Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790) and the equivalent provisions for databases (CPI art. L342-3), the publisher expressly reserves the Site against text and data mining, in particular for training artificial intelligence models. This reservation is expressed by this notice and by the Site's terms of use. Providers of general-purpose AI models must comply with it (Article 53 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689). It does not cover mining for scientific research under the conditions of art. L122-5-3, II of the CPI.

Still allowed: browsing the Site, sharing links to its pages, short quotations with the source and a link (CPI art. L122-5, 3°), and crawling, within the limits of robots.txt, by search engines and by artificial intelligence answer engines and assistants (for instance ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity search), including reading a page at a user's request, solely to show, briefly summarise or cite a page with a link to it. This permission grants no right to train. By exception, the publisher allows Google to use the Site's content to train its Gemini models and to ground their answers, as the Google-Extended token of the robots.txt file states; this permission may be withdrawn at any time by changing that file.

Any breach may constitute copyright infringement (CPI art. L335-2 et seq.) or an infringement of the database maker's rights (CPI art. L343-4). Licence or permission requests: contact@runometry.com.
