Runcaster Terms of Service

Last updated: June 16, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you (“you”) and Runcaster LLC, an Alabama limited liability company (“Runcaster,” “we,” “us”), governing your use of the Runcaster mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By creating an account, connecting Garmin, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate.

2. The Service

Runcaster is an AI-powered running and fitness coaching tool. It connects to Garmin Connect™ to read your running activity data and generate personalized but automated training plans, workout suggestions, post-run feedback, and chat-based coaching. The Service is for general fitness and informational purposes only.

3. Not Medical Advice; Not a Medical Device

Runcaster is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. The training plans, paces, workouts, feedback, and any other content the Service provides are not medical advice and are not a substitute for professional medical judgment.

Always consult a qualified physician or healthcare professional before beginning, changing, or intensifying any exercise program, and before acting on anything the Service tells you.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, fainting, or any symptom that concerns you, during or after exercise.
The Service does not know your full medical history. It may recommend activity that is unsuitable for you.

4. Health, Safety, and Assumption of Risk

Physical exercise carries inherent risks, including risk of serious injury, illness, or death. By using the Service you knowingly and voluntarily accept those risks. Specifically, you acknowledge and agree that:

You are solely responsible for evaluating your own fitness to exercise and for deciding whether to follow any plan, workout, pace, or suggestion the Service provides.
You will stop exercising immediately and seek help if you feel pain, discomfort, dizziness, or any sign of injury or overexertion. Do not “push through” pain in reliance on the Service.
Training plans and targets are generated by automated systems using limited data and may be inappropriate, too aggressive, or simply wrong for you. You will use your own judgment and will not follow any recommendation that feels unsafe.
You assume all risk of, and full responsibility for, any injury, harm, or loss arising from your exercise activities and your use of the Service, whether or not you were following a plan or suggestion generated by the Service.

5. AI-Generated Content

Coaching content is generated by artificial-intelligence systems. AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading, may “hallucinate” facts, and is not reviewed by a human, coach, or medical professional before you see it. Do not rely on it as a statement of fact or as professional advice. You are responsible for independently verifying anything important before acting on it.

6. Garmin Connect and Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with Garmin Connect™ under the Garmin Connect Developer Program.

When you connect Garmin, we access your running activity data as described in the Privacy Policy. When you choose to push a workout to your watch, your data is transferred to and stored by Garmin, governed by Garmin’s privacy notice. Do not connect or push data if you are restricted from uploading to a Garmin Connect account.
Garmin is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms. Garmin is not a party to these Terms, does not provide the Service, makes no warranties about the Service, and has no liability to you arising from the Service. All disclaimers of warranty, limitations of liability, and releases in these Terms apply for the benefit of Garmin and its affiliates and licensors to at least the same extent they apply for our benefit, and Garmin may enforce them directly against you.
You agree to comply with any applicable Garmin end-user terms and not to misuse the Garmin integration.

7. Accounts and Acceptable Use

You are responsible for your account credentials and for activity under your account. You agree not to: misuse, reverse-engineer, scrape, or overload the Service; use it unlawfully or to harm others; or attempt to access data that is not yours. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

8. Subscriptions, Billing, and Trials

Some features require a paid subscription. Subscriptions are sold and billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play under their terms. Pricing, billing cycle, free-trial length, and auto-renewal are disclosed at the point of purchase; subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Refunds are handled by Apple/Google under their policies; except where required by law, payments are non-refundable.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, and content (excluding your data and third-party marks such as Garmin’s), is owned by us and our licensors. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. You retain ownership of the data you provide; you grant us a license to process it to operate and improve the Service as described in the Privacy Policy.

10. Apple and Google App Stores

These Terms are between you and us, not Apple Inc. or Google LLC. The following terms apply when you obtain the Runcaster app from the Apple App Store, and Apple requires their inclusion:

Acknowledgement. These Terms are concluded between you and us only, and not with Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the Service and its content. These Terms may not conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions in effect as of your acceptance.
Scope of license. The license granted to you is limited to a non-transferable license to use the Service on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions (including Family Sharing).
Maintenance and support. We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the Service. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services for the Service.
Warranty. We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the Service fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) of the Service to you; and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Service, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be our sole responsibility.
Product claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Service or your possession and/or use of it, including product-liability claims, any claim that the Service fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer-protection or similar legislation.
Intellectual property claims. In the event of any third-party claim that the Service or your possession and use of it infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist-supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the Service (for example, Garmin’s terms and your wireless data plan).
Third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries (and likewise Google LLC) are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, have the right to enforce these Terms against you.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE OR ITS CONTENT (INCLUDING TRAINING PLANS AND AI OUTPUT) WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, SAFE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR ERROR-FREE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT FOLLOWING ANY PLAN OR SUGGESTION WILL BE SAFE OR ACHIEVE ANY RESULT.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, ILLNESS, OR DEATH, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR YOUR EXERCISE ACTIVITIES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you; in that case our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Runcaster, its owners, and its service providers (including Garmin, Apple, and Google as applicable) from any claim, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the Service, your exercise activities, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

14. Release

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release and waive any claims against Runcaster and its owners and service providers for any injury, harm, illness, death, or loss arising from your exercise activities or your use of the Service, including claims based on plans, workouts, paces, or other guidance the Service provided. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542.

15. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class-Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.

Informal first: Contact us at kyle.lynch@runcaster.app and we’ll try to resolve any dispute informally within 60 days before formal proceedings.
Binding arbitration: Except for small-claims matters and requests for injunctive relief, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in the State of Alabama or conducted virtually.
Class-action waiver: Disputes will be brought only in your individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims.
You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing kyle.lynch@runcaster.app.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Alabama, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where the Federal Arbitration Act governs arbitration.

17. Changes; Termination

We may update these Terms; material changes will be posted with a new “Last updated” date and, where required, notified to you. Continued use after changes means you accept them. You may stop using and delete your account at any time; we may suspend or terminate access for violations or to comply with law.

18. Miscellaneous

If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These Terms (with the Privacy Policy) are the entire agreement between us regarding the Service. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
