Terms of Use

Version 2 · Published June 23, 2026

Terms of Use

Effective Date: June 19, 2026.

Welcome to Runwayz ("Runwayz," "we," "us," or "our"). Runwayz provides career exploration, pathway discovery, opportunity matching, and related tools through our websites, applications, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

By accessing or using the Services, you, the user, agree to these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree, you may not use the Services.

These Terms, together with the Runwayz Privacy Policy and any additional policies expressly incorporated by reference, govern your use of the Services.

In Plain English

We know legal documents can be dense. Here's the practical version of what these Terms mean.

Our Commitments to You

When you use Runwayz, here's what you can expect from us:

  • We'll treat your data with care. We collect only what we reasonably need to run the platform, protect users, and improve the experience.
  • We won't reduce you to a score. Runwayz may use AI to help you explore careers, reflect on opportunities, or present yourself more clearly, but we do not use black-box AI to rank your worth or make life-changing decisions about you.
  • We'll prioritize safety. Especially for younger users, we design communication features to be structured, intentional, and safer than open social platforms. That means some communication features may be limited, monitored, or require mutual opt-in.
  • Your content is still yours. If you upload a profile, portfolio, resume, or work samples, you still own it. We only use it to operate Runwayz and help you use the platform as intended.

Your Commitments to Us

To keep Runwayz useful, fair, and safe for everyone, we ask you to:

  • Be honest. Use your real information, represent yourself accurately, and don't impersonate other people or organizations.
  • Use Runwayz in good faith. Don't harass people, scam people, spam employers, upload harmful content, or try to game the system.
  • Only share what you have the right to share. If you upload a photo, project, resume, or portfolio item, make sure it's yours, or that you have permission to use it.

Remember: opportunities still belong to humans. Employers, schools, and institutions make their own decisions. Runwayz helps you explore and present yourself. It doesn't guarantee an offer, interview, acceptance, or placement.

1. Eligibility and Authorized Use

You may use Runwayz if:

  • you are 17 years of age or older, or
  • you are under 17 and are accessing Runwayz through an authorized school, district, workforce organization, or other approved institutional program with all permissions required by applicable law.

By using Runwayz, you represent that:

  • you meet these eligibility requirements;
  • the information you provide is accurate;
  • your use complies with applicable law.

If you use Runwayz on behalf of a school, employer, workforce organization, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Institutional Users, Students, and Minors

Runwayz may be made available through schools, districts, colleges, workforce boards, nonprofits, employers, or other organizations ("Institutional Partners").

If you are an educator, administrator, employer, workforce leader, or other representative creating or facilitating access for users under 17, you represent and warrant that:

  • you have obtained all required consents, permissions, notices, and authorizations;
  • you have lawful authority to share any user information with Runwayz;
  • your use complies with all applicable laws and contractual obligations.

Where users under applicable age thresholds access Runwayz through Institutional Partners, Runwayz may rely on those Institutional Partners to obtain and document parental or guardian consent where required by applicable law.

Additional information regarding student, youth, and institutional data handling is described in the Runwayz Privacy Policy.

Runwayz may suspend or terminate accounts if we reasonably believe required permissions have not been obtained.

3. Accounts and Security

Some features require an account.

You agree to:

  • provide accurate and current information;
  • maintain the confidentiality of your credentials;
  • notify us promptly of unauthorized account access.

You are responsible for activity occurring under your account unless caused by Runwayz's own security failure.

Institutional Partners may create, administer, suspend, or manage accounts for students, educators, or workforce participants consistent with applicable law and institutional agreements.

Information about account administration, institutional account controls, and data processing is described in the Runwayz Privacy Policy. Rights relating to access, correction, export, or deletion of personal information are described in the Runwayz Privacy Policy.

4. Your Content

You may submit content through Runwayz, including profiles, resumes, portfolio materials, work samples, reflections, applications, or other materials ("User Content").

You retain ownership of your User Content.

By submitting User Content, you represent and warrant that:

  • you own the content or have lawful rights to submit it;
  • the content does not infringe third-party rights;
  • where required, you have obtained consent from individuals depicted or represented.

You grant Runwayz a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, process, display, reproduce, and use User Content solely as necessary to:

  • provide the Services;
  • support authorized applications or introductions;
  • improve platform functionality;
  • enforce these Terms.

Information about how User Content may be processed is described in the Runwayz Privacy Policy.

5. AI-Assisted Features

Runwayz may provide AI-assisted features designed to support career exploration, reflection, and opportunity discovery.

AI outputs:

  • may be incomplete, inaccurate, or non-unique;
  • are provided for informational and assistive purposes only;
  • do not constitute employment, admissions, credentialing, legal, financial, or educational decisions.

Runwayz does not use fully automated AI systems to make high-stakes decisions about users.

Additional information regarding our AI practices and data handling is described in the Runwayz Privacy Policy.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • violate applicable law;
  • harass, threaten, abuse, or impersonate others;
  • upload unlawful, fraudulent, misleading, or infringing content;
  • use Runwayz for spam, solicitation, or unauthorized commercial purposes;
  • attempt unauthorized access to systems or accounts;
  • interfere with platform security or functionality.

We may investigate and take action against violations, including suspension, termination, or further legal action.

7. Platform Restrictions and Intellectual Property

All platform software, designs, recommendation systems, workflows, taxonomies, standards mappings, trademarks, logos, and related intellectual property are owned by Runwayz or its licensors.

You may not:

  • scrape, harvest, or extract platform content or data;
  • use bots, crawlers, or automated systems without written authorization;
  • reverse engineer or attempt to discover source code;
  • copy, reproduce, redistribute, or resell platform materials;
  • use Runwayz content, outputs, metadata, or datasets to train machine learning or AI systems without written authorization.

Unauthorized use may cause irreparable harm, and Runwayz may seek injunctive or equitable relief.

Runwayz is designed to support structured, purposeful, and safe interactions.

We may:

  • restrict communication channels;
  • log or review communications;
  • investigate reports of misuse;
  • remove content;
  • suspend communication features or accounts.

Additional information regarding communication safeguards, profile visibility, and youth safety is described in the Runwayz Privacy Policy.

Certain profile information, portfolios, credentials, or application materials may be visible to authorized employers, schools, mentors, or other approved participants depending on user settings, institutional controls, and platform workflows.

Runwayz may cooperate with law enforcement or regulatory authorities where required by law or reasonably necessary to protect users, institutions, or the public.

9. Third-Party Services

Runwayz may integrate with third-party services, including identity providers, educational systems, analytics vendors, credential providers, or employer systems.

We are not responsible for third-party services, content, or policies.

Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms.

Information regarding third-party data processing is described in the Runwayz Privacy Policy.

10. Changes to Services or Terms

We may:

  • modify features;
