This site sells nothing. There is no shop, no checkout, no payment, no subscription. Nothing on these pages can be bought, and nothing on them costs anything.
That makes these terms short. They cover using the site and reading what is on it. If you are a runner, the Ruleset is your contract and governs everything about your run; how your data is handled is in the Privacy Notice.
1. Who runs this site
Adrian Blümlein, Jurastraße 2a, 86641 Rain, Deutschland
Email: support@the1millionrun.com
2. What this site is
A public leaderboard for attempts to go from zero to one million dollars, and a public record of the operator's own run.
It is a record, not a service you buy and not advice you act on. Reading it, linking to it, quoting it and pasting the rules into an AI are all fine and encouraged.
3. The numbers on this site
Every figure here is provisional until it has been checked, and it is labelled with which of those two it is, everywhere it appears.
Checking happens on two tracks, and they are not the same thing (Ruleset §10.2):
- Runs verified by the Verifier Board. Every run except the operator's.
The runner's own figure is marked
self-reported. Averifiedfigure is one the Board examined evidence for and accepted, with its reasoning published. - The operator's own run, which no board verifies. It cannot be — the
operator would be choosing their own judges. Instead that run publishes
its entire revenue record and its evidence, redacted. Its figure is marked
from the receipts, and its status readsverified — public evidence, neververifiedon its own.
Neither track is a guarantee. Runners can be wrong, and runners can lie; the Ruleset exists to make that expensive rather than impossible. Published evidence can be misread, and anyone may object to the operator's in writing — the objection and the answer are published together. A verified run can be revoked at any time if new evidence appears. Nothing on this site is audited financial information, and none of it should be relied on as if it were.
4. Runners are independent
Every runner other than the operator is an independent person or business, not our partner, employee, agent or joint venture. We do not endorse them, we do not vouch for their ventures, and we are not party to anything they sell to anyone.
Runners are solely responsible for their own tax, accounting, legal and regulatory obligations, in their own country, for their own venture. Being listed here changes none of that and is not evidence of compliance with anything.
5. No advice
Nothing on this site is financial, investment, tax or legal advice. It is a leaderboard and a public record. If you are making a decision that needs advice, get it from somebody licensed to give it.
6. Availability, changes, and the end of the project
We do not promise uninterrupted availability. We may change the site, and we may change the Ruleset and the Transparency Pact under their own versioning rules — published in advance, with runs staying bound to the versions they accepted. We may end the project.
If the project ends, the run records stay. Ruleset §9 and Pact §4 both say so in advance: a leaderboard that can be deleted at the end is not a record of anything.
7. Liability
We do not limit our liability beyond what German law already provides. No separate contractual limitation is agreed in these terms, so the statutory position applies in full — including full liability for injury to life, body or health, and for intent or gross negligence, in every case.
8. Applicable law
German law applies. If you are a consumer with your habitual residence in another EU member state, this does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory provisions of the law of that state (Art. 6(2) Rome I).
9. If this site ever starts selling something
It does not today. If that changes, these terms gain a second half — what is being sold, the price, VAT, how the contract is formed, the statutory withdrawal instruction and the model withdrawal form — and that version is published, dated, and in effect before the first payment is possible, not after.
That text is already drafted and parked in the repository; it is not published here because publishing terms for a shop that does not exist would be its own kind of dishonesty.
10. Changes to these terms
The version in effect is the one published here. Changes are dated.
Version 1.0, in effect since 21 August 2026.
