Terms of Use

These terms govern your use of Runlow (therunlow.com), published by Unique Digital Things LLC, doing business as Dumbotronix ("Runlow," "we," "us"). By using the site, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

What Runlow is

Runlow publishes research, reviews, buying guides, and calculators about household products people buy repeatedly. See How we work for the full explanation of our method, what we do and don't claim about testing, and how we're funded. In short: we research every product we cover, using manufacturer ingredient disclosures, certifying bodies' own directories, and public data. Unless a specific post says otherwise, we have not personally tested, used, or lived with the products we write about — the most we claim is that we researched, compared, or analyzed them.

No warranty, and the limits of our research

Content on Runlow is provided for general informational purposes and reflects our research at the time it was published or last checked (see the "last checked" date on any post). We make no warranty, express or implied, that any product recommendation is accurate, complete, or fit for your particular situation. Manufacturers change formulations, packaging, and availability without notice; a certification or compatibility claim we report may no longer be current by the time you read it. Always confirm anything safety-relevant — allergies, medical conditions, a specific appliance's requirements — against the product's own current packaging or the manufacturer directly before you rely on it.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Runlow and Unique Digital Things LLC disclaim liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, information published on this site.

Affiliate links and how we're funded

Some retailer links on Runlow are, or may become, affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you make a purchase after clicking one, at no added cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure for the full policy. Commission rates never influence what we recommend — see "Editorial independence" on How we work.

Intellectual property

The text, calculators, diagrams, and design on Runlow are owned by Unique Digital Things LLC or licensed to us, except where otherwise credited (photography is licensed from individual photographers through Pexels — see the credit line on any photo grid, and our Privacy Policy for how those images are used). You're welcome to link to Runlow and to quote brief excerpts with attribution. Reproducing substantial portions of our content elsewhere without permission isn't permitted.

Prohibited use

Don't use automated tools to scrape or bulk-download content from Runlow, attempt to interfere with the site's normal operation, or use the site for any unlawful purpose.

Third-party sites

Retailer and other outbound links on Runlow take you to sites we don't control. We aren't responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of those sites, including their own pricing, availability, and privacy practices.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision; continuing to use Runlow after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Unique Digital Things LLC is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
