Terms of Service

BestRunPicks (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is reader-supported. Some of the links on bestrunpicks.com are affiliate links, which means that—at no additional cost to you—we may earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase. The details below explain how that works, why we use affiliate links, and how your trust remains our top priority.

1. Who We Are

BestRunPicks (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is an independent website that publishes beginner-focused running-shoe reviews, guides, and related content. We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and may earn commissions from qualifying purchases.

2. Informational-Only Content — Not Medical Advice

All articles, reviews, and recommendations are provided for informational purposes only. We are not doctors, physical therapists, or certified running coaches. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before beginning any exercise program or acting on gear recommendations.

3. Use of Site Content

1. Copyright: All text, graphics, photos, logos, and code on the Site are our intellectual property or used with permission.
2. Personal, non-commercial license: You may read, print, or share a reasonable number of article links for personal use.
3. No scraping or wholesale reproduction: You may not copy, republish, sell, or scrape our content without express written consent.
4. Quotes: Short quotes (≤ 75 words) are permitted if you provide a clear, clickable link back to the original article.

4. Affiliate Links & Sponsored Material

Some outbound links are Amazon affiliate links. If you click and purchase, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. Sponsored content—should any appear—will be labeled “Sponsored.” Commissions or sponsorships never influence our editorial opinions.

5. User Conduct

By using the Site you agree to:

• Refrain from posting or emailing content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, or infringing.
• Not attempt to gain unauthorized access to servers, user accounts, or any non-public portion of the Site.
• Not 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.

6. Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to third-party websites (e.g., Amazon). We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of those sites. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and the third party.

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, BestRunPicks, 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, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our aggregate liability to you for any claim is limited to US $100.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless BestRunPicks and its owner from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Site, without notice, for conduct we believe violates these Terms or is otherwise harmful to other users or us.

11. Modifications to Terms

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

12. 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.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Affiliate Disclosure, constitute the entire agreement between you and BestRunPicks regarding the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications.
