# Terms of Service for Stride Run Club Bengaluru

## 1. Introduction
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Stride Run Club Bengaluru community platform, forums, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Stride Run Club Bengaluru ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

Stride Run Club is operated by Sidharth Yadav, Founder of Stride Run Club, located in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.

**Purpose of the Platform.** The Services constitute the official web presence of Stride Run Club, Bengaluru. The platform exists for the following purposes: (a) to serve as the club's online presence and source of information about the club, its runs, and its community; (b) to enable individuals to create and maintain a personal athlete profile; (c) to operate as a ticketing and registration platform through which users may register, and where applicable pay, for runs and events organised by the club; and (d) to enable users to become and remain members of Stride Run Club and to record their participation and milestones with the club.

**Purpose of Data Collection.** In order to provide the Services, we collect and process the following categories of personal data, strictly for the purposes stated: your name, email address, and profile photograph (to create, identify, and display your account and athlete profile); profile details you choose to provide, such as your biography, location, specialties, social-media links, and race history (to present your athlete profile as you direct); your contact number, date of birth, and gender, and the phone number of the emergency contact you nominate, where requested during event registration (to administer the event safely and to contact you or your nominated contact in an emergency); your medical fitness declaration at registration (to confirm you are fit to take part, as described in Clause 17); your event registration, payment status, Stride Tag, and attendance records (to operate ticketing, entry, check-in, and milestone tracking); your Strava activity data, only if you choose to connect Strava (to show your distance on the leaderboard and your recent public runs on your profile); and your marketing-email preference (to send you news of other runs and partner events only if you have opted in). We do not collect personal data for any purpose not described here or in our Privacy Policy, and **we do not sell your personal data**. The processing of all personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act").

## 2. Definitions
"User," "you," and "your" refer to the individual or entity accessing or using our Services.
"Content" refers to any text, images, videos, audio, posts, comments, or other material that appears on or through our Services.
"User Content" refers to any Content that users submit, upload, or transmit to or through our Services.
"Community Guidelines" refers to the additional rules and standards for participating in our community, which are incorporated by reference into these Terms.
"Intellectual Property Rights" means all patent rights, copyright rights, moral rights, rights of publicity, trademark rights, trade dress and service mark rights, goodwill, trade secret rights, and other intellectual property rights.

## 3. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Community Guidelines, all of which are incorporated by reference. If you are using our Services on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use our Services.

**Free Consent.** Your participation in the Services — including creating an account, building a profile, providing personal data, and registering for or attending club runs and events — is entirely voluntary. Any consent you give to the collection or processing of your personal data is, and must at all times be, free, specific, informed, unconditional, and unambiguous, signified by clear affirmative action on your part, in accordance with Section 6 of the DPDP Act. No feature of the Services conditions your access on consent to processing that is not necessary for that feature. You may withdraw your consent at any time, with the same ease with which it was given, including by deleting your account as described in our Privacy Policy; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

## 4. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of significant changes by posting a prominent notice on our Services or by sending you an email. Your continued use of our Services after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using our Services.

## 5. Eligibility
To use our Services, you must be at least 13 years old. If you are under 18 years old, you must have permission from your parent or legal guardian to use our Services, and they must agree to these Terms on your behalf. By using our Services, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements.

**Minors and Guardian Consent.** In accordance with Section 9 of the DPDP Act, we process the personal data of a minor (any person who has not completed eighteen (18) years of age) only with the verifiable consent of that minor's parent or lawful guardian. Where a minor uses the Services, the parent or guardian who provides such consent: (a) represents and warrants that they are the minor's parent or lawful guardian and are competent to give such consent; (b) accepts these Terms on the minor's behalf; and (c) remains responsible for the minor's use of the Services. We do not undertake tracking or behavioural monitoring of minors, and we do not direct advertising at minors. Members under 18 are not shown on the public leaderboard. Where a minor registers for a run or event, the parent or guardian gives the medical fitness declaration and accepts Clause 17 (Assumption of Risk) on the minor's behalf. If we learn that a minor's personal data has been collected without verifiable parental or guardian consent, we will erase it without delay.

Certain areas or features of our Services may have additional age restrictions, which will be specified where applicable.

## 6. User Accounts
You may be required to create an account to access certain features of our Services. You are responsible for:
- Providing accurate, current, and complete information
- Maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account
- All activities that occur under your account
- Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account

You may customize your profile and username, but you may not impersonate others or choose a username that is offensive, vulgar, infringes someone's rights, or otherwise violates our Community Guidelines.

**Review and Modification of Your Details before Event Registration.** The information you have provided to us is stored securely against your account and is used to pre-fill the registration form for each new event, so that you are not required to re-enter it. Before completing any new event registration, you are afforded the opportunity — and are encouraged — to review the details presented in the registration form and to correct, update, or complete them. The details you submit at the time of registration are the details that will govern that registration. In addition, you may review and modify your profile details at any time from your profile page, in accordance with your right to correction under Section 11 of the DPDP Act.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at our discretion if we believe you have violated these Terms, our Community Guidelines, or if we believe your account may pose a risk to our Services or other users.

## 7. Community Conduct
Our community is built on respect, constructive dialogue, and shared interests. When using our Services, you agree to follow our Community Guidelines, which include but are not limited to:

- Treating others with respect and courtesy
- Contributing constructively to discussions
- Not engaging in harassment, hate speech, or intimidation
- Not posting illegal, harmful, or inappropriate content
- Not spamming, flooding, or disrupting conversations
- Not impersonating others or misrepresenting your identity or affiliations
- Respecting the privacy of other users

Moderators and administrators have broad discretion to enforce these guidelines, including removing content, issuing warnings, temporarily suspending accounts, or permanently banning users.

## 8. User Content and Photographs
You retain ownership of any User Content you submit, such as your profile photograph, cover image, biography, and prompt photographs. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable licence to host, store, resize, convert, and display your User Content on the Services, solely to operate the Services and present your profile as you direct. This licence is not sublicensable, except to the service providers who host and deliver the Services on our behalf (listed in Section 7 of our Privacy Policy). We do not license, sell, or give your User Content to sponsors, partners, or advertisers. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies that have already been shared by other users or that we must keep by law.

**Club Event Photography.** Photographs and video taken by or for the club at its runs and events are club content under Clause 12, not User Content. The club may publish them on its website and social-media channels, and may share them with the named partner of the event at which they were taken, for that partner to use in coverage of that event. Event photographs are never used, or licensed, for advertising a partner's products or services. If you do not want to appear in published club photographs, tell the photographer on the day or contact us using the details in Clause 29, and we will remove or exclude images of you, as described in Section 9 of our Privacy Policy.

You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to grant us this licence and that your User Content does not violate any third-party rights, applicable laws, or our Community Guidelines.

You acknowledge that anything on a public profile can be seen, saved, or shared by anyone who visits it. You can make your profile private at any time from your profile page. If you do not want certain information shared, do not post it to our Services.

We reserve the right to remove any User Content at our discretion, particularly content that violates these Terms or our Community Guidelines.

## 9. Content Moderation
We employ various moderation methods to maintain a safe and welcoming community, including automated filters, human moderators, and user reporting systems. Moderation decisions are made at our discretion but generally align with our Community Guidelines.

You agree to respect moderation decisions, even if you disagree with them. If you believe a moderation action was taken in error, you may appeal through designated channels, but we reserve the final decision in all moderation matters.

We do not have an obligation to monitor all User Content, and our moderation efforts should not be considered comprehensive. The responsibility for appropriate content remains with the users who post it.

## 10. User Reporting and Feedback
You are encouraged to report content or behavior that violates our Terms or Community Guidelines using the reporting tools provided in our Services. We review reports and take action as appropriate, but we do not guarantee a specific response time or particular outcome.

You may also provide feedback on our Services, including suggestions for improvement. By submitting feedback, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use and implement your feedback in any way without any obligation to compensate you.

## 11. Prohibited Conduct
In addition to the requirements in our Community Guidelines, you agree not to:
- Violate any applicable law or regulation
- Infringe the rights of others, including intellectual property rights
- Harass, abuse, or harm another person
- Interfere with the proper functioning of our Services
- Attempt to breach any security or authentication measures
- Use our Services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose
- Access or attempt to access other users' accounts without authorization
- Post or transmit malicious code or other harmful computer code
- Scrape, crawl, or otherwise extract data from our Services, except as permitted under "Automated Access" below
- Create multiple accounts to evade moderation or restrictions
- Sell, trade, or transfer your account to another person
- Use our Services for unauthorized commercial purposes, including spamming
- Engage in vote manipulation or other actions to artificially inflate or decrease content visibility

**Automated Access.** We expressly permit search engines, AI assistants, and other automated agents to access and index the public pages of the Services, and to use the machine-readable interfaces we publish for that purpose — including `/llms.txt`, the documents under `/.well-known/`, our Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoints, the `/ask` endpoint, and the Markdown versions of our pages — in line with our `robots.txt` and any rate limits or usage notes published with those interfaces. This permission does not extend to bypassing authentication or rate limits, accessing any area that requires sign-in, or bulk-collecting members' personal data (such as names, photographs, or profile details) to build datasets, contact lists, or profiles of members for use outside the Services.

## 12. Intellectual Property
All content provided by Stride Run Club Bengaluru, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, digital downloads, data compilations, and software, is the property of Stride Run Club Bengaluru or its content suppliers and is protected by international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. The compilation of all content on our Services is the exclusive property of Stride Run Club Bengaluru and is protected by international copyright laws.

**Ownership.** All rights, title, and interest in and to the Services and the club's proprietary content — including the "Stride Run Club" name and marks, the club's branding, logos, and trade dress, the design and software of the platform, and all photographs, imagery, event names, and editorial content created by or for the club — rightfully vest in and belong to **Sidharth Yadav, Founder of Stride Run Club**, or are held by Stride Run Club Bengaluru under his authority. Nothing in these Terms transfers to you any ownership of, or licence to, any of the foregoing except the limited right to access and use the Services in accordance with these Terms.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section does not affect your rights in your own personal data: you retain all rights in your personal data and in the User Content you submit (as set out in Section 8 and in our Privacy Policy), and you grant the club only the licence described in Section 8 to display and operate the Services. Where your name, photograph, or likeness appears in club photography or event coverage, it is used with your consent and in accordance with our Privacy Policy, and such consent may be withdrawn as described therein.

Our trademarks and trade dress may not be used in connection with any product or service without the prior written consent of Stride Run Club Bengaluru.

## 13. Copyright Policy
We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law. If you believe any materials accessible on or from our Services infringe your copyright, you may request removal of those materials by submitting written notification to our copyright agent.

## 14. Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. Our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference, explains how we collect, use, and disclose information about you. By using our Services, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in our Privacy Policy.

## 15. Third-Party Links and Services
Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Stride Run Club Bengaluru. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. You further acknowledge and agree that Stride Run Club Bengaluru shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such content, goods, or services available on or through any such websites or services.

## 16. Payment Terms, Refunds and the Shop

**Payment Processing.** Where a run, event, or feature requires payment, the applicable fee is displayed at the time of registration or purchase. All payments are processed by a third-party payment gateway; we do not collect or store your card or payment-instrument details. A registration or purchase is confirmed only upon our verification of successful payment.

**Taxes.** All fees are stated in Indian Rupees (INR) and, unless expressly stated otherwise at the time of registration or purchase, are inclusive of applicable taxes, including Goods and Services Tax (GST). You are responsible for any additional charges levied by your bank or payment provider.

**Refund Policy.** This is the club's refund policy for paid runs and events:

- **Transfers.** Event registrations are personal to you and non-transferable.
- **Cancellation by you.** Cancellation and refund entitlements, if any, are as stated in the event-specific terms presented at the time of registration. Unless stated otherwise there, fees paid for event registrations are non-refundable.
- **Cancellation by us.** If we cancel an event and it is not rescheduled, you will be offered a full refund of the registration fee paid or, with your agreement, a transfer of your registration to another event.
- **How to request a refund.** Contact us using the details in Clause 29 with the email address you registered with and the name of the event.
- **Timeline.** Where a refund is due, we will initiate it within seven (7) working days of the cancellation or of approving your request. It is paid to the original payment method, and the time it takes to reach your account depends on the payment gateway and your bank.

**Failed Payments.** If a payment fails, is declined, or remains incomplete, your registration is not confirmed and no place is held for you. Where an amount has been debited from your account but your registration is not confirmed, the amount is ordinarily reversed automatically by the payment gateway or your bank within their prescribed timelines; if it is not, please contact us using the details in Clause 29 and we will assist in tracing and resolving the payment.

**No Subscriptions.** Club membership is free. We do not offer subscriptions, and we never charge you on a recurring basis. Every payment is a one-off payment that you make yourself for a specific run, event, or purchase.

**The Shop.** The Stride online shop is not yet open, and no goods can currently be bought through the Services. Before the first sale, we will publish separate Shop Terms, as required by the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, setting out the seller's identity and contact details, delivery, and the returns and refund policy for goods. Those Shop Terms will govern every purchase from the shop.

## 17. Assumption of Risk

**Nature of the Activity.** Running, walking, and the other physical activities at club runs and events carry inherent risks. These include, without limitation: muscle, joint, and bone injuries; dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke; cardiac and other medical events, which can be serious or fatal; falls on uneven, wet, or poorly lit surfaces; road traffic; weather and air quality; the actions of other participants and members of the public; and loss of or damage to personal belongings. Some of these risks cannot be eliminated even when reasonable care is taken.

**Medical Fitness Declaration.** Each time you register for a run or event, you will be asked to declare, and by registering you confirm, that:

- you are medically fit to take part in the activity at the distance and intensity you intend;
- you are not aware of any medical condition, injury, or medication that makes it unsafe for you to take part, or, if you are, you have taken medical advice and been cleared to take part;
- you will stop and seek help if you feel unwell during the activity; and
- the details you give in the registration form, including your emergency contact, are accurate.

The club does not medically screen participants and relies on this declaration. We record only that you have made the declaration. We do not ask for, and you should not send us, details of any medical condition or medical records.

**Voluntary Participation and Assumption of Risk.** Your participation in any run or event is entirely voluntary. By taking part, you knowingly and voluntarily accept the inherent risks described above.

**Release and Waiver.** To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release Stride Run Club Bengaluru, its founder, organisers, volunteers, pacers, and marshals (the "Club Parties") from, and waive, any claim for personal injury, illness, death, or loss of or damage to property arising out of your participation in a run or event, including a claim arising from the ordinary negligence of a Club Party. This release does not apply to, and nothing in these Terms limits or excludes, liability for (a) death or personal injury caused by the gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or fraud of a Club Party, or (b) any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including the Indian Contract Act, 1872 and the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

**Your Responsibilities at Events.** You agree to follow the instructions of organisers, marshals, and pacers; to keep to the published route; and to obey traffic rules and the directions of the police and other authorities. You are responsible for your own hydration, clothing, footwear, and belongings. The organisers may refuse to start, or may stop, any participant whose continued participation they reasonably believe to be unsafe for that participant or for others.

**Emergency Medical Treatment.** If you are injured or become unwell at a run or event, you consent to receiving first aid and, where the organisers reasonably consider it necessary, to being transported to a medical facility. You authorise the club to share the information needed to help you — your name, what happened, and your emergency contact's number — with medical personnel and with your nominated emergency contact. Any cost of medical treatment or transport is your responsibility.

**Insurance.** Unless the event-specific terms state otherwise, the registration fee does not include insurance, and the club does not provide insurance cover for participants. You are encouraged to hold your own health and personal-accident insurance.

**Minors.** Where the participant is under 18, the parent or guardian who consents to the minor's participation gives the medical fitness declaration and accepts this Clause on the minor's behalf.

## 18. Disclaimer of Warranties
OUR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Stride Run Club Bengaluru DOES NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, OR RELIABILITY OF ANY USER CONTENT OR THAT ANY USER CONTENT WILL BE AVAILABLE ON OUR SERVICES.

The risks of taking part in runs and events, and your release of the club in respect of them, are dealt with in Clause 17 (Assumption of Risk).

## 19. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Stride Run Club Bengaluru shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. Nothing in this Clause limits the exceptions set out in Clause 17 (Assumption of Risk).

## 20. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Stride Run Club Bengaluru, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that such parties may incur as a result of or arising from your violation of these Terms, your User Content, or your use of the Services. Stride Run Club Bengaluru reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with Stride Run Club Bengaluru in asserting any available defenses.

## 21. Dispute Resolution
Any disputes arising from these Terms will be resolved through arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, with the seat of arbitration at Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, where Stride Run Club Bengaluru is headquartered. The parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute amicably through mutual discussion within thirty (30) days of written notice of the dispute before commencing arbitration.

## 22. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Subject to Clause 21 (Dispute Resolution), the courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka, India — where Stride Run Club Bengaluru is headquartered — shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes arising from these Terms.

## 23. Force Majeure
Stride Run Club Bengaluru shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms — including the conduct, postponement, or cancellation of any run or event — where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, extreme weather conditions, floods, earthquakes, epidemics or pandemics, fire, war, acts of terrorism, civil unrest, strikes or labour disputes, governmental orders, restrictions or advisories, failures of public infrastructure, or failures of telecommunications, hosting, or payment systems operated by third parties. In such circumstances, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected participants and, where an event is cancelled and cannot be rescheduled, address registrations in accordance with Clause 16 (Payment Terms, Refunds and the Shop).

## 24. Entire Agreement
These Terms, including our Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, and any other agreements referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Stride Run Club Bengaluru regarding your use of our Services and supersede any prior agreements between you and Stride Run Club Bengaluru relating to your use of our Services.

## 25. Waiver and Severability
The failure of Stride Run Club Bengaluru to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

## 26. Assignment
These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Stride Run Club Bengaluru, but may be assigned by Stride Run Club Bengaluru without restriction.

## 27. Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to our Services at our sole discretion, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms, our Community Guidelines, or is harmful to other users of our Services, us, or third parties, or for any other reason. Upon termination, your right to use our Services will immediately cease, and you must cease all use of our Services.

All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

## 28. Community Economy and Virtual Items
Our Services may include features such as badges, reputation scores, achievements, or other virtual items or currency. These virtual items:

- Have no real-world value and cannot be exchanged for real money or items of value
