Terms of Use

1. What Runbriel is

Runbriel (www.runbriel.com) is run as a sole business by Dimitrios Kolovos, Turnstr. 10, 90763 Fürth, Germany (see Impressum). It consists of this website – a blog with general running guides that anyone can read without an account – and an app for running plans, which is currently not open to new users. Runbriel is free.

The Runbriel app is for Android. Distances, paces and times recorded with GPS or taken from a watch are estimates and can be inaccurate.

2. The guides on this website

• The guides are general information about running. They are not personal advice and not medical advice, and they don't replace a doctor, physiotherapist or coach. See also section 4.
• We write them carefully, but can't promise that every post is complete, correct and up to date.
• Posts with affiliate links and paid partnerships are marked as “Werbung” or “Anzeige” (advertising). If you buy something through an affiliate link, we may get a commission; the price for you stays the same.
• Links to other websites lead to content we don't control. We check links when we add them; if we learn that a linked page breaks the law, we remove the link.
• The texts, pictures and design of Runbriel belong to Runbriel. You may read, link to and share them, but not copy them as a whole or republish them without permission.

3. Your account

• You must be at least 18 years old.
• Please give true information, especially your date of birth: plans are adjusted to it.
• Keep your password to yourself. One account per person.
• Don't misuse Runbriel: no attacks, spam, automated mass access, or offensive names. Accounts that do this may be blocked or deleted.
• The app and the website – including the plans' rules, texts and design – belong to Runbriel. You may use them for your own training, but not copy, resell, reverse-engineer or automatically scrape them. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them freely.
• The numbers Runbriel shows – distance, pace, moving time, heart-rate zones, best times and race predictions – are worked out from your phone's or watch's sensors and from rules. They can be off (for example GPS near tall buildings, or zones estimated from your age) and are not medical measurements.

4. Health and safety

• The plans, paces, check-in and tips are general training guidance, built by fixed rules from your answers. They are not medical advice and do not replace a doctor, physiotherapist or coach.
• If you have a health condition, are pregnant, are returning from an injury or haven't exercised for a long time, check with a doctor before you start.
• Listen to your body. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness or chest discomfort, and get medical help if needed. The daily check-in is a self-check, not a diagnosis.
• You decide what you actually run, where and how hard. Take care in traffic, heat, cold and darkness.
• Half-marathon and marathon plans are long and demanding. Before you create one you confirm that you are healthy enough for this training. Runbriel checks only the numbers you enter (weekly distance, longest run) and cannot judge your health or fitness.

5. Your content

What you enter (profile, plans, workouts, notes) stays yours. You allow Runbriel to store and show it as far as needed to run the service for you. How your data is handled: privacy policy.

6. Availability

We try to keep Runbriel running and correct, but can't promise that it is always available or free of errors. Features may change, and Runbriel may end. If it ends, you'll be told in good time where possible.

Runbriel can connect to other services you choose, for example Health Connect or your watch's app. Their own terms and privacy policies apply. We are not responsible for their availability or for what they do with your data, and if a service changes or ends its connection, that feature in Runbriel may stop working.

7. Liability

We are fully liable for intent and gross negligence, and for injury to life, body or health caused by our fault. For slight negligence we are liable only if we breach an obligation that is essential for using Runbriel and that you can rely on, and then only for the typical, foreseeable damage. Liability under the Product Liability Act is not affected.

8. Ending and changes

You can delete your account at any time (how). If these terms change, you'll be asked to accept the new version the next time you log in; if you don't agree, you can delete your account.

9. Law

German law applies. If you live in another EU country, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of that country.
