- Browse and discover public Recipes shared by other home cooks;
- Create and save your own Recipes with ingredients, steps, preparation time, calories, and macro-nutrients;
- Organise Recipes into custom Collections (e.g. "Pizzas", "Quick Lunches");
- Add Recipes to your Favourites for quick access;
- View other users' public profiles and their shared Recipes;
- Search for Recipes by name and filter by category, tags, or dietary preferences;
- Register and log in via email or Google account;
- Access additional features that may be offered under a Premium Plan (see Section 4).
2.2 Service Availability
We will make reasonable efforts to ensure the Mniam App operates correctly. Access to Services may be limited in the event of:
- technical malfunctions or errors;
- maintenance or modification of IT systems;
- force majeure events;
- actions of third parties beyond Mniam's control.
We will endeavour to notify you at least 3 days in advance of significant planned maintenance that requires extended downtime, and will aim to schedule such work during off-peak hours.
2.3 Minimum Duration
No minimum usage period is set for Users. You are not obligated to use the Services for any fixed duration. No fees are charged for terminating a Free Plan. For the Premium Plan, refer to Section 4.
3. Account Creation
Before using the Services, you must read these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy. By completing registration, you enter into the Agreement with BonaCode.
To create an Account, you must provide a valid email address, choose a username and password, and accept these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy. You may alternatively register using your Google account.
After successful registration, we will send a confirmation email to the address you provided, including the latest version of these Terms of Use.
You may only hold one Account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your Account. In the event of suspected unauthorised access, notify us immediately at kontakt@mniamapp.com.
You may update your profile details, including username, profile picture, and description, at any time from within the App.
4. Premium Plans and Subscriptions
4.1 Free Plan
The Free Plan is available to all registered Users at no charge. It provides access to core features including creating and saving Recipes, organising Collections, and browsing the community feed, subject to any usage limits specified within the App.
4.2 Premium Plan
Mniam offers a paid subscription tier ("Premium Plan") that raises the usage limits applied to the Free Plan — including how many Recipes you may create, how many Recipes you may import from a web address, how many Collections you may keep, and how many Recipes a single Collection may hold. Premium limits are counted per Subscription Period rather than for the lifetime of the Account. The applicable limits and pricing are displayed in the App at the point of purchase and may be updated from time to time with prior notice.
4.3 Pricing and Billing
Subscription prices are displayed in the App in Polish złoty (PLN) or the local currency applicable to your region, inclusive of any applicable VAT or local taxes in accordance with EU law. Payments are processed through the platform's payment provider (Google Play or Apple App Store, as applicable) and are subject to their respective payment terms.
Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis for the Subscription Period selected at the time of purchase; at present the Premium Plan is offered as a monthly subscription only. Your subscription will renew automatically at the end of each Subscription Period unless cancelled in accordance with Section 4.6.
4.4 Free Trial
Where offered, a free trial period allows you to access Premium Plan features at no charge. If you do not cancel before the free trial ends, you will be automatically charged for the selected Premium Plan. The duration and availability of free trials are communicated within the App.
4.5 EU Consumer Right of Withdrawal for Digital Services
Pursuant to Directive 2011/83/EU (as implemented), Consumers have the right to withdraw from the purchase of a digital subscription within 14 days of conclusion of the Agreement, without giving any reason, unless the service has already begun with the Consumer's explicit prior consent and acknowledgment that they thereby lose their right of withdrawal.
By completing the purchase of a Premium Plan subscription and requesting immediate access to the Premium features, you expressly consent to the performance of the contract before the end of the withdrawal period and acknowledge that you will lose your right of withdrawal once the service has begun.
If you do wish to exercise your right of withdrawal before the service begins, you may use the Model Withdrawal Form in Appendix No. 1 and submit it to kontakt@mniamapp.com.
4.6 Cancellation of Subscription
You may cancel your Premium Plan subscription at any time through the App store settings (Google Play or Apple App Store) used to purchase the subscription. Upon cancellation:
- You will retain access to Premium features until the end of the current Subscription Period.
- No partial refunds will be issued for unused portions of a Subscription Period, except as required by applicable EU law.
- Your Account will revert to the Free Plan at the end of the Subscription Period.
4.7 Refunds
Refund requests for Premium Plans are governed by the policies of Google Play or Apple App Store, as applicable. Where EU Consumer law grants you a right to a refund (e.g. where the service was materially defective), please contact us at kontakt@mniamapp.com and we will work to resolve your request in accordance with applicable law.
4.8 Price Changes
We may modify subscription prices from time to time. We will provide you with at least 30 days' advance notice of any price change via the App or email. Price changes will apply from the start of the next Subscription Period following the notice. Continued use of the Premium Plan after the price change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the new price.
