Description of the services

Mealum is a meal-planning and nutrition-management application designed to help users organize everyday meals.

The availability of features may vary by platform, country, subscription plan and application version.

№03

Eligibility and accounts

Mealum is intended for users aged 16 or older.

If you are under 18, you must have any parental or guardian authorization required by applicable law to enter into these Terms or purchase a subscription.

You agree to provide accurate information where required for account registration and to keep your account credentials secure.

You are responsible for activity conducted through your account, except where such activity results from circumstances for which you are not legally responsible.

If you suspect unauthorized access, please contact us at contact@mealum.app.

№04

License to use Mealum

Subject to compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the application for personal, non-commercial purposes.

You may not: copy, distribute or commercially exploit the application without authorization; modify or create unauthorized derivative versions of the application; reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the application, except where permitted by applicable law; attempt to bypass security measures or subscription restrictions; use automated systems to extract substantial amounts of content or data without authorization; or use the Services in a way that violates applicable laws or third-party rights.

This license does not transfer ownership of any intellectual property rights.

№05

Free and paid features

Mealum may provide both free and subscription-based features.

Free features may include selected nutrition-tracking functionality and other features made available without payment.

Paid features may include personalized weekly meal planning, additional recipe functionality, shopping lists, budget-related tools and other premium capabilities.

The exact features included in each plan are displayed within the application before purchase.

We may modify the features available under different plans, subject to applicable consumer protection laws and any contractual obligations.

№06

Subscriptions and automatic renewal

Mealum may offer automatically renewing subscriptions through the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Before confirming a purchase, you will be shown the applicable subscription information, including: subscription price and currency; billing period; features included; any introductory offer or free trial; renewal conditions; and applicable cancellation information.

Automatic renewal: unless canceled, an automatically renewing subscription renews at the end of each billing period, and the applicable subscription fee is charged through the relevant app store.

Prices, billing periods and available offers may vary depending on your country, platform and selected subscription.

Any price changes affecting existing subscriptions will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the relevant app store's requirements.

№07

Free trials and introductory offers

Mealum may offer free trials or discounted introductory subscription periods.

The duration, eligibility and terms of any offer will be displayed before you confirm the subscription.

Unless the subscription is canceled before the applicable renewal or trial deadline, a free trial may convert into a paid subscription at the price shown during purchase.

Introductory offers may be limited to eligible users and may not be available to everyone.

The applicable app store determines and administers offer eligibility and subscription billing.

№08

Subscription cancellation

You may cancel an automatically renewing subscription through the app store used to purchase it.

Apple App Store: open your device's Settings, select your Apple Account, then Subscriptions, and select Mealum to manage or cancel the subscription.

Google Play: open Google Play, navigate to Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, and select Mealum to manage or cancel the subscription.

Canceling automatic renewal generally prevents future renewal charges. Access to paid features normally continues until the end of the current paid period, subject to the relevant app store's terms.

Uninstalling Mealum or deleting your Mealum account does not automatically cancel an active app-store subscription.

№09

Payments, refunds and consumer rights

Payments for subscriptions purchased through Apple or Google are processed through the relevant app store.

Refund requests for app-store purchases may be submitted through the applicable platform's refund procedures.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts statutory refund, conformity, withdrawal or other consumer rights that cannot lawfully be limited.

Where required by law, consumers may also contact us at contact@mealum.app regarding their statutory rights.

№10

Right of withdrawal for EU consumers

If you are a consumer in the European Union or European Economic Area, you may have a statutory right to withdraw from a distance contract within 14 days without giving a reason.

The applicable conditions depend on the nature of the digital service or content and how performance begins.

Where permitted by law, immediate access to digital content or services during the withdrawal period may affect the right of withdrawal, but only where the applicable legal requirements are satisfied.

These requirements may include your prior express consent or request, acknowledgment of the relevant consequences and the required contractual confirmation.

Simply accepting these Terms does not, by itself, constitute a separate express request or consent to waive statutory withdrawal rights.

To ask about withdrawal or exercise applicable consumer rights, contact contact@mealum.app.

Any refund or payment adjustment will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the relevant app-store purchasing arrangements.

№11

AI features and nutritional estimates

Mealum uses artificial intelligence to support features such as meal planning, recipe recommendations and food-photo nutrition analysis.

AI-generated information may contain inaccuracies, omissions or inconsistencies. In particular: calories and macronutrient values are estimates; food photographs may not reveal all ingredients, cooking methods or portion sizes; recipe recommendations may not fully reflect individual dietary needs; and AI-generated meal plans may require adjustments based on personal preferences and circumstances.

Users should review AI-generated information before relying on it.

Mealum does not guarantee that nutritional estimates, recipe information or AI-generated recommendations are exact or suitable for every individual.

№12

Medical and dietary disclaimer

Mealum is intended for general meal planning, nutrition awareness and informational purposes.

The Services do not provide medical diagnosis, treatment or professional medical or dietetic advice. Mealum is not a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

Users with medical conditions, food allergies, intolerances or medically prescribed diets should consult an appropriate healthcare professional where necessary.

Food allergies: Mealum may use user-provided allergy and dietary information to personalize meal suggestions, but it cannot guarantee that every recipe, ingredient or externally supplied product description is free from allergens.

Users remain responsible for checking ingredient lists, product labels and relevant food-safety information before preparing or consuming food.

№13

№18

Grocery budgets and price estimates

Mealum may provide estimated grocery costs and shopping budgets based on selected recipes, ingredients, stores and regional information.

These amounts are informational estimates, not guaranteed retail prices or binding offers.

Actual prices may vary depending on store location, product availability, brand and package size, promotions and discounts, regional pricing and changes in retailer prices.

We may temporarily restrict access where reasonably necessary for maintenance, security or technical reasons.

№20

Account suspension and termination

We may suspend or restrict access where a user materially violates these Terms or applicable law.

Where a breach can reasonably be remedied, we may provide notice and an opportunity to correct it.

We may take immediate proportionate action where necessary to address security threats, unlawful conduct, serious infringement or risks to other users.

Users may stop using Mealum and request account deletion.
