Terms of Service

2. Description of Service

Racecast.io is a race weather forecasting platform that provides weather forecasts, course analysis, pacing recommendations, nutrition guidance, gear suggestions, and mental strategy content for runners preparing for race day. The Service includes both free and paid (“Premium”) features.

3. Premium Purchases

Premium Race Plans are available as a one-time purchase for the current edition of a specific race. By completing a purchase, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

• Premium content is delivered immediately upon purchase as digital content. Because of the time-sensitive nature of race forecasts and the immediate delivery of personalized content, all sales are final and non-refundable.
• Your purchase grants access to the Premium Race Plan for a single race edition (identified by race and year). It does not carry over to future editions of the same race.
• Payments are processed by our third-party payment provider, Dodo Payments. Your payment is subject to their terms and conditions in addition to these Terms.
• We reserve the right to change pricing at any time. Any price changes will not affect purchases already completed.

Always check official sources and use your own judgment on race day.

All content on the Service — including but not limited to pace recommendations, nutrition guidance, carb-loading plans, hydration strategies, gear suggestions, and mental coaching cues — is provided for informational and educational purposes only. This content does not constitute professional medical advice, nutritional counseling, athletic coaching, or any other form of professional guidance.

You should consult with a qualified healthcare provider, registered dietitian, or certified running coach before making decisions about your training, nutrition, or race-day strategy. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of information provided by the Service.

4.3 Assumption of Risk

Running and racing carry inherent risks including, but not limited to, physical injury, illness, and adverse reactions to weather, altitude, nutrition, or exertion.
