Terms of Use

These terms cover your use of runtimerodeohq.com and of Runtime Local website previews. Both are run by Runtime Rodeo ("Runtime Rodeo," "we," "us," or "our"). Runtime Local is one of our products.

1. Agreeing to these terms

By using our website or opening a preview, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use them.

If you buy something from us, a separate written agreement covers that purchase (see section 5).

2. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. When we do, we'll post the new version here with a new effective date. Changes apply from that date forward. They don't change a written agreement you've already signed with us.

3. Our website and examples

• We work to keep this website accurate and available, but we can't promise it will always be error-free or online.
• The examples on this website use fictional businesses and are labeled that way. They are not real customers and not real reviews.
• Prices on this website are ranges to help you plan. They are not offers. The price for your project is the one in your written offer.

4. Website previews

A Runtime Local preview is a concept website we built at our own cost for a local business, to show what a new website could look like.

• Not the official site. A preview is not the official website of the business it shows. It doesn't mean the business endorses us, works with us, or has any relationship with us.
• Built from public information. We use only facts we could confirm from public sources and leave out anything we couldn't. Some details may still be out of date or wrong. Don't rely on a preview for information about the business. Contact the business directly.
• Our wording, not theirs. Headlines and descriptions on a preview are our own wording. Any photos are placeholders, not photos of the business's work, staff, or location.
• Forms don't send. Forms on a preview don't send information to anyone.
• Private link. We send each preview link only to the business it was made for. If you received a link that wasn't meant for you, please don't share it, and let us know.
• Expiry. A preview expires about 21 days after we make it. After that, the link stops working.
• Removal. A business can ask us to take down its preview at any time by emailing howdy@runtimerodeohq.com or replying to our email. We'll take it down within one business day.
• No obligation. A preview is free, and you owe us nothing for it. You're under no obligation to buy anything.

5. Buying from us

• Written agreement controls. When you buy a website or a Care plan, a written offer and scope that you accept lists the price, pages, revision rounds, launch, and support period. If that written agreement differs from anything on this website or in these terms, the written agreement controls.
• Payments. When we start taking payments online, Stripe will process them. Stripe's own terms apply to its part of the transaction.
• Taxes. Texas sales tax applies to many website and hosting services. Your written offer will show any tax that applies.

6. Who owns your website

Unless your written agreement says otherwise:

• Yours after payment. Once you've paid in full, the finished website we made for you is yours to use, change, and move, on your own domain. We'll transfer to you whatever rights we have in it.
• Your content stays yours. Text, photos, logos, and other material you give us remain yours. You confirm you have the right to let us use them for your website.
• What we keep. We keep our own tools, code libraries, templates, methods, and know-how that existed before your project or that aren't specific to your business. You get a permanent, free license to use any of them that are part of your website, for your website.
• Third-party parts. Some parts of a website, such as fonts, open-source code, or licensed images, belong to others. You can use them under their own licenses, which we'll tell you about.
• AI-assisted work. We use AI tools to help draft some text and design elements. Under current U.S. Copyright Office guidance, material generated by AI alone may not be protected by copyright for anyone. We transfer all the rights we have, but we can't promise that every element is protected by copyright.
• Showing your site in our portfolio. We'll show your website or your business name in our portfolio or marketing only if you give us permission in writing. You can take that permission back at any time.

7. Care plans

A Care plan is optional. If you choose one, your written agreement lists what's included, the monthly price, and how to cancel. If you cancel, we'll help you move your website and hand over what you need to run it.

8. Using our website fairly

Please don't:

• break the law or anyone's rights using our website or previews;
• try to get into parts of our systems you aren't meant to reach, including guessing or collecting preview links that weren't sent to you;
• overload, disrupt, or attack our website, or send automated or bulk submissions through our contact form;
• upload or send malware or harmful code; or
• pretend to be someone else, or suggest that we endorse you when we don't.

We may block access or remove content to protect our website, our customers, or the public.

9. Our content and names

The text, design, code, and graphics on our website belong to us or to those who licensed them to us. You may view and share our pages for personal or business evaluation, but you may not copy or reuse them for your own commercial purposes without our permission.

"Runtime Rodeo," "Runtime Local," and our logos are our names and marks. Please don't use them in a way that suggests we sponsor or endorse you.

10. What you send us

When you send us a message, you let us use it to reply and to provide our services, as described in our Privacy Policy. Please don't send us confidential information we haven't asked for. If you send ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything.

11. Other websites and services

Our website may link to other websites and services. We don't control them and aren't responsible for them. Their own terms and privacy policies apply.

12. Disclaimers

OUR WEBSITE AND PREVIEWS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES ABOUT THEM, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Any warranties for a website or service you buy are only those stated in your written agreement.

13. Limits on our liability

TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, OR DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OUR WEBSITE OR PREVIEWS, EVEN IF WE WERE TOLD THEY WERE POSSIBLE. THIS APPLIES TO CLAIMS BASED ON OUR OWN NEGLIGENCE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ABOUT OUR WEBSITE OR PREVIEWS IS LIMITED TO ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

For anything you buy from us, the limits in your written agreement apply instead.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn't allow us to limit, such as liability for fraud or gross negligence, or your rights under laws that can't be waived, including the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act.

14. Your responsibility for misuse

IF YOU MISUSE OUR WEBSITE OR PREVIEWS, BREAK THESE TERMS, OR SEND US CONTENT YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEND, YOU AGREE TO COVER THE REASONABLE COSTS, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES, OF CLAIMS BY OTHERS AGAINST US THAT RESULT. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT A CLAIM IS CAUSED BY OUR OWN NEGLIGENCE OR MISCONDUCT.

15. Texas law and where disputes are heard

Texas law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any lawsuit about these terms, our website, or our previews will be brought in the state or federal courts for the Texas county where our principal office is located, and you and we agree to those courts' jurisdiction. Before filing anything, please contact us first. Most problems can be solved with a conversation.

16. General

• These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement about your use of our website and previews.
• If a court finds part of these terms unenforceable, the rest still applies.
• If we don't enforce a part of these terms right away, we can still enforce it later.
• We may transfer these terms as part of a merger, sale, or transfer of our business.
