Terms of Service

Last updated July 3, 2026

13+ · Unofficial fan game. RunTheBook is a free wrestling-booking game for fun. It is not affiliated with any promotion or performer. In-game items have no cash value.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Murphy Ryan, an individual doing business as RunTheBook (“RunTheBook,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your access to and use of runthebook.com and the features and content offered on it (the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

01What RunTheBook is

RunTheBook is a free-to-play entertainment product — a browser-based sports-entertainment booking game where you book cards and run a show. It is a game for fun and creative expression.

02Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service, and old enough to consent under the law of your country. The Service is not directed to children under 13. If any purchase feature is offered, you must be an adult or have the consent of a parent or guardian.

03Acceptable use

You agree not to: use the Service unlawfully; cheat, exploit, script, automate, reverse-engineer, or interfere with the Service; attack, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to it; scrape, resell, or commercially exploit it; or post content that is unlawful, infringing, hateful, or abusive.

04No affiliation; names, likenesses, and parody

RunTheBook is an independent, unofficial fan-made game. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or associated with WWE, World Wrestling Entertainment, AEW, TNA, any other wrestling promotion, broadcaster, video-game publisher, or any wrestler or performer.

Any names, characters, or likenesses that resemble real people or promotions are used for purposes of identification, commentary, criticism, and parody. Any characters, rosters, and avatars in the game are original or user-created depictions and do not use official images, logos, or data, and do not imply any endorsement, sponsorship, or real association. All third-party trademarks and rights of publicity remain the property of their respective owners. If you are a rights holder with a concern, contact us at the address below.

05Intellectual property

The Service’s original software, game design, text, graphics, and branding are owned by us or our licensors. Third-party names and marks referenced in the Service remain the property of their respective owners. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own non-commercial entertainment. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

06User content and copyright (DMCA)

If the Service lets you submit content, you keep ownership of it but grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to host and display it as needed to operate the Service. You are responsible for what you submit and represent that you have the rights to it.

We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to valid notices of claimed infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice with the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to our designated agent at murphy@murphyryan.com (subject line: “DMCA Notice”). We may remove infringing content and terminate repeat infringers.

07Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty regarding the accuracy, timeliness, or reliability of any data or content. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

08Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, RunTheBook and Murphy Ryan will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, goodwill, profits, or virtual items, arising out of or relating to the Service. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Because the Service is free, you acknowledge this cap is a fair allocation of risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

09Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless RunTheBook and Murphy Ryan from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

10Binding arbitration and class-action waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

You and we agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. The arbitration will take place in Los Angeles County, California, or may be conducted by phone, video, or written submissions.

Class-action waiver. All claims must be brought in your individual capacity only, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims.

30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration section by emailing murphy@murphyryan.com with the subject “Arbitration Opt-Out” within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the courts identified below.

11Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. To the extent any dispute is not subject to arbitration, you and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

12Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, including for any violation of these Terms. You may stop using the Service at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and arbitration) will survive.

13Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. If we make material changes we will update the date above and, where reasonable, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

14Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
