Terms of Use

This agreement

These Terms are an agreement between you and Marawan Yakout ("we", "us") covering your use of the Minimalar mobile app and this website (together, "the Service"). By installing or using the Service you accept them. If you do not, do not use it.

Our Privacy Policy forms part of this agreement.

Who can use it

You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough to form a binding contract where you live. If you are under 18, use it with a parent or guardian's involvement. The Service is not intended for anyone under 13.

Your licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use Minimalar on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, in line with these Terms and with the app store rules that apply to your download.

We keep all rights not expressly granted here, including in the software, its design, its name and its logos.

What you agree not to do

• Reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except where that right cannot lawfully be excluded.
• Resell, rent, sublicense or redistribute the app or a subscription to it.
• Interfere with the Service, probe its infrastructure, or attempt to bypass the limits on free features.
• Use the Service in a way that breaks the terms of the third-party data sources it relies on, or any law that applies to you.

Subscriptions, billing and renewal

Minimalar is free to use. Minimalar Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription, sold at $7.99 per month or $49.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan. Prices are shown in the store before you buy and may differ by country and by tax.

Purchases are processed by Apple or Google, not by us. Payment is taken by the store when you confirm, and the subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. Your store account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending.

Free trial. If you start a trial and do not cancel before it ends, it converts to a paid subscription automatically. Starting a trial may make you ineligible for another one later, under store rules.

Cancelling. Manage or cancel in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings — we cannot cancel on your behalf. Cancelling stops the next renewal; Pro stays active until the period you have paid for ends. Step-by-step instructions are here.

Refunds. Refunds are handled by the store you bought from, under its policy, not by us. If you are a consumer in the UK or EU you may have a statutory right to cancel within 14 days; that right can be lost once digital content is supplied with your consent.

Price changes. If we change the price of an existing subscription, the store will notify you and ask for consent where its rules require. A change never applies to a period you have already paid for.

Your data and your content

What you log stays yours. It is stored on your device, not on our servers, and we claim no ownership of it. You are responsible for keeping your own copies: the app exports everything in plain text, and uninstalling the app deletes your data permanently. We cannot restore it, because we never had it.

Not medical advice

Minimalar is a general wellbeing and tracking tool. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition.

Calorie, macronutrient, hydration and energy-expenditure figures — in the app and in the calculator on this site — are estimates from published formulas and third-party food databases. Real bodies vary, food labels vary, and databases contain errors. Do not rely on them for clinical decisions. Speak to a qualified professional before changing your diet, training or medication, particularly if you are pregnant, have an eating disorder, or have a medical condition.

Third-party services and data

The app looks up food data from Open Food Facts and USDA FoodData Central, and uses Adapty to validate subscriptions. We do not control those services, do not warrant their accuracy or availability, and are not responsible for them. Their terms apply to the data they provide.

Availability and changes

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Service, including features that depend on a third party. We will not remove a paid feature during a period you have paid for without offering a pro-rated refund or an equivalent replacement. The offline parts of the app keep working regardless of whether our endpoints do.

Disclaimers

Except where the law says otherwise, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any estimate it produces is accurate.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, for lost profits, or for loss of data — including data lost because an app was uninstalled or a device failed.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or a minimum liability cap, e.g. USD 50.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.

Ending this agreement

You can end it at any time by deleting the app. We may suspend or end your access if you materially breach these Terms. The sections that by their nature should survive — your data, disclaimers, liability, and governing law — survive termination.

App store terms

If you downloaded from the App Store: this agreement is between you and us, not Apple; Apple is not responsible for the app or for support; Apple has no warranty obligation, and handles refund requests under its own policy; and Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Equivalent terms apply to Google for downloads from Google Play. You confirm you are not located in a country subject to a relevant embargo and are not on a prohibited-party list.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the law of governing law, e.g. England and Wales, and its courts have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory law of the country you live in, and may bring proceedings there.
