Runear Terms of Service
Last updated: October 15, 2026
These Terms are an agreement between you and the developer of Runear. By creating an account or using the app, you agree to them. Please also read our Privacy Policy.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (14 in Korea) to use Runear.
2. Your account
- You can use Runear as a guest (tied to your device) or by signing in with Apple or Google. Guest accounts cannot be recovered if you lose or reset your device or delete the app.
- Your area is set from your current location. Do not try to set an area where you do not actually run, for example by faking your location.
- You are responsible for activity on your account. Choose a nickname and picture that do not impersonate anyone or contain offensive content.
3. Community rules — zero tolerance
Runear has no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. You agree not to post, upload, or send — in your nickname, photo, crew names, posts, comments, or route names and descriptions — anything that:
- harasses, threatens, bullies, or abuses anyone;
- is hateful or discriminatory, sexually explicit, violent, or otherwise objectionable;
- shares someone else's personal information or exact location without permission;
- is spam, advertising, scams, or illegal content, or infringes someone else's rights.
You also agree not to stalk or track other runners, interfere with the service, access other accounts, or falsify runs or locations.
4. Reporting, blocking, and enforcement
- You can report and block users from their profile, a crew, or a post. Blocked users disappear from your lists, crews' boards, and leaderboards.
- We review reports within 24 hours. When content or behavior breaks these Terms, we remove the content and may suspend or permanently remove the account that posted it.
- Crew owners can remove posts, comments, and members from their crew. Crew owners must also follow these Terms.
5. Your content
You own the content you create (posts, comments, photos, route descriptions). You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, display, and share it with other users as needed to run the service. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies other users have already seen.
6. Safety and health
- Running is physical activity with risks. Check with a doctor before starting an exercise program, and stop if you feel unwell.
- Stay aware of traffic and your surroundings, and do not look at your phone while running near roads. Shared routes are suggestions from other users; check that a route is safe, legal, and open before using it.
- Distance, pace, calories, heart rate, and maps may be inaccurate. Runear is not a medical device and is not meant for medical decisions or emergencies.
7. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
Runear is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for injury or loss arising from your runs, routes shared by others, or your use of the app. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
8. Ending your use
You can stop using Runear and delete your account in Settings at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms.
9. Changes
We may update these Terms. If we make important changes, we will update the date above and let you know in the app. Continuing to use the app after changes take effect means you accept them.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you live in Korea, mandatory Korean consumer-protection laws still apply to you.
11. Apple
These Terms are between you and the developer, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content, has no obligation to provide support for it, and is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms with the right to enforce them against you.
