Terms of Service

Last Updated: November 20, 2025

Best Run Picks (“we,” “us,” or “our”) welcomes you to bestrunpicks.com (the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site.

1. Who We Are & Our Role

Best Run Picks is an independent, reader-supported website that publishes beginner-focused running shoe reviews, guides, and curated gear recommendations.

• Not a Retailer: We are a professional review and discovery platform. We do not manufacture, stock, sell, or ship any products directly. All products listed on this Site are sold by third-party retailers (such as Amazon.com).
• Affiliate Relationship: We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and may earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through links on our Site.

2. Product Pricing & Availability (Important)

Because we are not the seller, we cannot guarantee the real-time accuracy of product prices or inventory status.

• Dynamic Pricing: Product prices and availability on third-party sites (like Amazon) change frequently.
• Final Price: The price and availability information displayed on the linked retailer’s site (e.g., Amazon.com) at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of the product.
• “Check Price” Buttons: Buttons labeled “Check Price,” “View Deal,” or similar are links to third-party retailers where you can view the most current pricing and stock status. We are not responsible for discrepancies between information on our Site and the retailer’s site.

3. Informational-Only Content — Not Medical Advice

All articles, reviews, and recommendations on this Site are provided for informational purposes only.

• No Professional Advice: We are not doctors, physical therapists, or certified running coaches.
• Consult a Pro: Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before beginning any exercise program, changing your diet, or acting on gear recommendations. You assume full responsibility for your use of the information on the Site.

4. Use of Site Content

• Copyright: All text, graphics, photos, logos, and code on the Site are our intellectual property or used with permission.
• License: You may read, print, or share article links for personal, non-commercial use.
• No Scraping: You may not copy, republish, sell, or scrape our content (using bots or manual methods) without our express written consent.
• Quotes: Short quotes (≤ 75 words) are permitted for commentary if you provide a clear, clickable link back to the original article on Best Run Picks.

5. Affiliate Disclosure & External Links

• Affiliate Links: Some outbound links on the Site are affiliate links. If you click and purchase, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
• Third-Party Responsibility: The Site contains links to third-party websites (e.g., Amazon). We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, shipping, returns, or availability of those sites. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and the third party.

6. User Conduct

By using the Site, you agree NOT to:

1. Post content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, or infringing.
2. Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our servers or user accounts.
3. Use bots, scrapers, or automated systems to collect data or load-test the Site.

We reserve the right to remove comments or block users who violate these rules.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties—express or implied—including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Best Run Picks, its owner, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages—nor for lost profits, revenues, or data—arising out of your use of (or inability to use) the Site.

Our aggregate liability to you for any claim is limited to US $100.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas.

(Note: If you are not based in Texas, please update this section to your local jurisdiction).

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
