Terms

Short on purpose. Apple’s own licence agreement governs your right to use the app, and Apple handles the money. What is left is what Runbound itself promises, and the two things you should know before you run.

Runbound is not medical advice

Runbound is a training plan, not medical advice. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat anything. If you are new to exercise, are pregnant, are recovering from injury or illness, or are unsure about your health, talk to a doctor before you start.

The app rates how much strain a plan puts on your body and tells you when a plan looks ambitious or risky. That rating is a guide built from published coaching practice, not a clinical assessment of you. It cannot see your history, your injuries or your day.

Stop and get help if you feel unwell while running. Chest pain, dizziness, faintness or pain that is sharp rather than tired are reasons to stop, not to finish the interval.

Routes are suggestions, and the road is real

Round-trip routes are drawn from public street data. They can be wrong, out of date, or lead somewhere you would rather not run: a road can have lost its pavement, a path can be closed, a shortcut can be unlit at night.

You are responsible for your own safety and for obeying traffic rules. Look up from the watch. Runbound does not know about traffic, weather, roadworks or who is around you.

Route data is © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License.

Routes work in the United States and in ten European countries. The coverage page lists exactly where, and the app tells you plainly when you are outside it rather than failing quietly.

What Runbound does

Runbound trains two things: getting there, up to 10 km or 60 minutes of continuous running, and getting faster over those distances.

Guided runs need an Apple Watch. Planning, routes and progress work on an iPhone alone.

The subscription

Your first three runs are free, with the whole app and nothing held back. After that Runbound Pro is 1.99 euro per month, or the equivalent in your currency.

There is no free trial. Nothing is charged by a countdown you forgot about; you are charged when you choose to subscribe, and not before.

Apple sells the subscription, not us. That means Apple takes the payment, renews it, cancels it and handles refunds. Manage or cancel it in Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your device. Your consumer rights against Apple as the seller, including any right to withdraw from the purchase, are unaffected by anything on this page and are set out in Apple’s own terms.

Your licence to use the app

Your right to use Runbound is granted under Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement, the standard agreement Apple applies to apps whose developer publishes none of their own. We publish none of our own, so that is the licence, and it covers permitted use, restrictions, warranties and liability.

We can change or discontinue features. Where a change removes something you were paying for, cancel and Apple will handle it under the terms above.

Who you are dealing with

Dutch law applies. Nothing here limits the rights Dutch consumer law gives you, and where anything on this page conflicts with those rights, those rights win.

How we handle your data is a separate matter with its own page: the privacy policy.
