Terms and Conditions

At Knighton Runs, our #1 responsibility is to put the health and safety of athletes first.

By downloading, purchasing, or using any training plan, guide, product, coaching service, or other service offered through this website, you acknowledge and agree to these Terms and Conditions.

Health and Safety

Always consult with your doctor or another qualified healthcare professional before beginning a new exercise or training program.

Running and exercise involve inherent risks of injury. If you experience pain, unusual discomfort, illness, or other concerning symptoms while training, stop exercising and seek appropriate medical advice.

Always prioritize your long-term health and development as an athlete. No workout, race, or short-term goal is worth risking your health or long-term ability to run.

Refunds and Exchanges

Except for the satisfaction guarantee described below, all purchases are final and non-refundable. This includes purchases of books, merchandise, consultations, and other products or services sold through this website.

Due to the digital and personalized nature of many of our products and services, including training plans and coaching programs that may be delivered immediately after purchase, exchanges are not available.

30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee

I want you to be completely satisfied with your Knighton Runs coaching service or training program.

Coaching services and training programs are backed by a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the coaching service or training program you receive, email knightonruns@gmail.com within 30 days of your initial purchase to request a full refund.

Refund requests must be submitted within 30 days of purchase. No refunds will be issued after the 30-day period.

General Assumption of Risk, Release of Liability, and Coaching Terms

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. THIS DOCUMENT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

For purposes of this document, references to “Knighton Runs,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Christopher (Chris) Knighton and Erica Knighton.

By purchasing, enrolling in, accessing, or participating in coaching, a training program, training plan, consultation, or other service provided by Knighton Runs, Christopher Knighton, and/or Erica Knighton, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the following terms.

Assumption of Risk

I voluntarily choose to participate in running, athletic training, racing, strength training, mobility work, and/or other activities recommended or included as part of a Knighton Runs coaching service or training program.

I understand that running, exercise, athletic training, and racing involve inherent risks. These risks may include, but are not limited to:

Muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, and joint injuries;
Sprains, strains, fractures, bruises, cuts, and falls;
Overuse and repetitive-stress injuries;
Dehydration, overhydration, electrolyte imbalances, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, hypothermia, and other environmental hazards;
Illness, abnormal heart rhythms, cardiovascular events, or other medical emergencies;
Hazards involving roads, trails, traffic, weather, terrain, animals, other people, exercise equipment, and training environments; and
Other serious injuries, medical conditions, permanent disability, or death.

I understand that not all risks can be anticipated or eliminated.

I knowingly and voluntarily accept and assume the risks associated with participating in running, training, racing, and related activities.

Health and Safety

I understand that Knighton Runs, Christopher Knighton, and Erica Knighton do not provide medical diagnosis or medical treatment.

I have been advised to consult with a physician or other qualified healthcare professional before beginning a new exercise or training program, particularly if I have a medical condition, injury, significant change in health, or any concern about my ability to safely participate.

I accept responsibility for determining whether I am physically capable of participating in the training activities I undertake.

I agree to promptly communicate relevant injuries, illnesses, pain, or significant changes in my health that may affect my ability to train safely.

If I experience significant pain, dizziness, chest pain, difficulty breathing beyond what would normally be expected during exercise, or other concerning symptoms, I understand that I should stop exercising and seek appropriate medical attention.

I understand that my health and safety take priority over any workout, race, performance goal, or training schedule.

Release of Liability

In consideration for being permitted to participate in coaching, training programs, and other services provided by Knighton Runs, I voluntarily assume the risks associated with my participation.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I release and hold harmless Knighton Runs, Christopher Knighton, Erica Knighton, and any coach acting on behalf of Knighton Runs from claims for injuries, damages, losses, or expenses arising out of or related to my participation in running, training, racing, or other activities undertaken in connection with the coaching or training program, including claims arising from ordinary negligence.

I understand that this release is intended to apply to both known and unknown risks inherent in athletic participation, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive or limit any right or claim that cannot lawfully be waived or limited.

Coaching Is Not Medical Care

Running coaching, training plans, educational materials, and communications provided by Knighton Runs are intended for athletic coaching and educational purposes.

They are not a substitute for individualized medical advice, diagnosis, physical therapy, mental-health treatment, nutrition therapy, or other services provided by appropriately licensed healthcare professionals.

The athlete remains responsible for seeking qualified professional medical care when appropriate.

Individual Results

Training recommendations are based on information available to the coach and the athlete’s reported experience, goals, training history, fitness, schedule, and circumstances.

Athletic performance varies from person to person. Knighton Runs does not guarantee any particular race time, personal record, qualification standard, fitness improvement, weight change, competitive result, or other outcome.

Athlete Responsibilities

As a participant in Knighton Runs coaching or training, I understand that I am responsible for:

Providing accurate and relevant information regarding my training, experience, injuries, health concerns, and athletic history;
Using reasonable judgment when determining whether conditions are safe for training;
Following applicable traffic laws and safety precautions;
Using appropriate equipment and hydration, fueling, clothing, and environmental precautions;
Modifying or stopping a workout when conditions, illness, injury, or pain make continued participation unsafe; and
Seeking appropriate medical attention when necessary.

A training plan is a recommendation, not an instruction to disregard my own safety, judgment, or medical advice.

Intellectual Property and Use of Training Materials

All original training plans, workouts, written materials, guides, books, videos, audio recordings, graphics, educational materials, and other content provided by Knighton Runs are intended for the personal use of the individual who purchased or received them unless otherwise stated.

Purchase of or enrollment in a Knighton Runs product or service does not transfer ownership of the underlying materials.

Unless Knighton Runs provides written permission, you may not:

Sell or resell Knighton Runs training plans or materials;
Share purchased training plans or programs with another person;
Reproduce or distribute substantial portions of Knighton Runs materials;
Publish or upload Knighton Runs training materials to another website, platform, application, or service;
Represent Knighton Runs materials as your own; or
Use Knighton Runs materials for commercial coaching or resale purposes.

You may download, print, and use materials provided to you for your own personal training and reference.

Payments and Subscriptions

Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase, recurring coaching services are billed automatically according to the billing schedule selected when the service begins.

By enrolling in a recurring coaching service, you authorize the applicable payment method to be charged according to that billing schedule until the service is canceled in accordance with the cancellation policy below.

You are responsible for maintaining a valid payment method and for any amounts due for services provided.

Refund requests must be submitted within 30 days of purchase. No refunds will be issued after the 30-day period.

Cancellation of Ongoing Coaching

Knighton Runs coaching is provided on a month-to-month basis unless otherwise stated.

You may cancel your ongoing coaching service by providing at least 30 days’ written notice before your next scheduled payment date.

Cancellation requests must be submitted by email to knightonruns@gmail.com.

If a cancellation request is received fewer than 30 days before the next scheduled payment date, the upcoming payment may still be processed and coaching will continue through the applicable final service period.

After the final service period has ended, no additional recurring coaching payments will be charged.

Except as provided under the applicable satisfaction guarantee or where otherwise required by law, payments already made are non-refundable.

Prepaid or Annual Plans

If Knighton Runs offers prepaid, multi-month, or annual plans, the cancellation, refund, and pause terms disclosed at the time of purchase will apply.

Unless otherwise stated, prepaid plans are non-refundable after any applicable satisfaction-guarantee period.

If a prepaid plan is eligible to be paused, the terms and deadline for using the remaining service period will be communicated at the time the pause is approved.

Changes to Pricing or Services

Knighton Runs may change the pricing, features, or structure of its services from time to time.

Any price change affecting an existing recurring coaching client will be communicated before the new price takes effect.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, changes requested by the client to a different service level or pricing arrangement will take effect on the billing date communicated by Knighton Runs.

Governing Law

To the extent permitted by applicable law, any legal proceeding arising from or relating to these Terms, Knighton Runs services, or participation in a Knighton Runs training program shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Rhode Island.
