Acceptance of Terms of Use
Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you use the Site. By accepting the Terms of Use, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference. The following terms and conditions (collectively, these ‘Terms of Use’), govern your access to and use of therunningbox.co.uk including without limitation our monthly product and gift service (collectively, the ‘Services’), and include any content, functionality and services offered on or through The Running Box (the ‘Site’).
By purchasing a subscription to The Running Box you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use. By accessing, subscribing to The Running Box or using any The Running Box operated Site or mobile application (or any content or service), you agree to abide and be bound by the terms described herein. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Site.
Online Purchases & Terms of Sale
Eligibility: This Site is for users who are 18 years of age or older. By agreeing to the Terms of Use, you warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with the Company and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Site. If you are using the Site on behalf of any entity, you further represent and warrant that you are authorised to accept these Terms of Use on such entity's behalf.
Registration: You are required to create an account in order to purchase from the Site.
Subscribing: By subscribing you agree to pay your subscription fee for the goods that are delivered for the term agreed by both parties. Any introductory discount applied on the first month of any subscription is applicable to the initial month’s payment only. There are a minimum number of monthly payments to be fulfilled as per your commitment terms before you can cancel.
Subscription Renewal: By signing up to a subscription to The Running Box, you understand and agree you will be charged at the standard rate and that any promotional codes used as a new customer at sign-up do not transfer or apply to your monthly renewal fee. The Company do not accept any responsibility or offer refunds for ‘auto-renewals proceeding if you have failed to cancel your subscription before your next renewal date. The latest point of cancellation to avoid auto-renewal (following on from your initial commitment period) is 11.59 pm on the 14th of the month. The minimum commitment period means that you cannot cancel your subscription before a certain number of payments have been made, as stated per each subscription plan. Your subscription is continuous until you cancel, and if you wish to cancel your membership before the end of an existing subscription period, you will still be charged for the remainder of that subscription period. You understand and agree that you will be automatically billed after your current subscription of 1, 3, 6, or 12 months expires unless the subscription is cancelled.
Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription by logging into your account on The Running Box website at any time. This does not initiate any kind of refund if you fail to cancel before the renewal date.
By The Running Box stating you can cancel at any time, this directly refers to the monthly renewal of your subscription and not your commitment term. The Running Box discounts are one per subscription purchased, for qualifying subscriptions.
The Running Box is a subscription service. By signing up you agree it is your responsibility to cancel your own subscription by logging into your account profile on the website. The Company does not accept responsibility to cancel your account on your behalf. It is up to the customer alone to cancel the subscription. Cancellations must be completed before the next renewal date. Following the minimum commitment period, subscriptions continue to renew on the 15th of the month ongoing until cancellation. If you do not cancel prior to the renewal date, you will be charged for and receive the following month’s box. All cancellation requests received after the renewal date of a calendar month will apply to the following calendar month.
Billing & Payments: You will automatically be charged each month for your ongoing subscription. Initial payment is taken at the time of order. Subsequent payments are taken on the 15th of the month. Unless you cancel your subscription or membership prior to the end of your subscription period, at the end of that period, your subscription will automatically be renewed on a month-by-month basis.
For your convenience and continuous subscription benefits as a member, if your payment method reaches its expiration date, you do not edit your credit card information and you have an ongoing subscription, you authorise us to continue billing that credit card on file including extending the expiration date until we are notified by you or the credit card company that the account is no longer valid. We encourage you to update your payment method information as necessary or cancel your membership should you wish to discontinue your monthly subscription.
Your Personal Data: Your security is important to us. We use a reputable third party to process all payments (Stripe Europe Ltd, Data Protection Ref: 13901/A), and you agree that we can store your information with this party. You also acknowledge that we will not be held responsible for any third-party security breaches.
Shipping: Our listed prices include shipping fees and VAT unless otherwise stated. All orders placed on our website are subject to availability. Products will be shipped according to the Site’s shipping terms.
Loss of Goods: We use Royal Mail for the delivery of all boxes. The Running Box is not responsible for any delays.

If there is a problem or defect with any product delivered by The Running Box we will do our utmost to rectify the problem. Any declarations of damaged boxes must be declared within 24 hours of receipt. The Running Box will send replacement items (or items of a similar purpose and value, depending on stock levels) to replace those damaged or lost in transit. The Running Box does not refund damaged or missing items, and reserves the right to dispute reception of damaged and/or missing items.
Correspondence: We send email correspondence following orders and registration by customers. You can opt-out of these at any time.
Pricing/Errors: Product prices and product availability are subject to change without notice. We may cancel any offer and reserve the right to correct errors, including after an order has been submitted, whether or not your credit/debit card has been charged. If your credit/debit card has already been charged and your order is cancelled, the Company will issue a refund to your credit/debit card account in the amount of the charge. You accept that your subscription being ‘auto-renewed’ on the date advised at sign up is not considered an error liable for a refund.
Order Acceptance/Confirmation: We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order. The Company reserves the right to decline sales to any party.
