Last updated: July 3, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Cadence (run-cadence.com), a running shoe comparison platform operated by Cadence ("we," "our," or "us"). By accessing or using our website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. Description of Service

Cadence is an informational and comparison platform for running shoes. We provide specifications, comparisons, reviews, and related content to help runners research footwear. Cadence does not manufacture, sell, or ship running shoes directly. We are not a retailer, and no purchase transaction takes place on this website.

2. No Professional or Medical Advice

Content on Cadence, including shoe recommendations, quiz results, and comparisons, is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not medical, podiatric, or professional fitness advice. Every runner's body, gait, and needs are different. Consult a qualified professional, such as a physician, physical therapist, or footwear specialist, before making decisions related to injury, training, or footwear that could affect your health.

3. Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to keep shoe specifications, pricing, and availability accurate and current. However, this data is often sourced from manufacturers and third-party retailers and may contain errors, become outdated, or differ from what is currently available at retail. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information on the site, and we recommend confirming details directly with the retailer or manufacturer before purchasing.

4. Third-Party Links

Cadence may include links to third-party websites, including shoe retailers and brand pages, so you can learn more or make a purchase elsewhere. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, products, services, or privacy practices of any third-party site. Your use of any third-party site is governed by that site's own terms and policies. If we participate in any affiliate or referral programs, we may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through outbound links, at no additional cost to you.

5. Advertising

Cadence displays advertisements served through Google AdSense and may display ads from other third-party advertising partners. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. For details on how ads-related data is collected and how to opt out, see our Privacy Policy.
