2. Who We Are

Mino is currently operated by its founding team. A dedicated legal entity is being established and will be named in these Terms once registered.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your country, you confirm that a parent or guardian has reviewed these Terms with you and consents to your use of the App.

We may refuse service, terminate accounts, or remove content at our sole discretion if we suspect a user is under 13.

4. Your Account

When you create an account you agree to:

You may delete your account at any time inside the App: Settings → Delete Account. Deletion is permanent.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account that violates these Terms.

5. Using the App Responsibly

You agree NOT to:

Violating these rules may result in immediate content removal, account suspension, or permanent ban without refund.

6. User-Generated Content (Mandatory Reading)

The App allows you to upload content including (but not limited to) video clips, photos, chat messages, profile details, and task entries ("Your Content").

6.1 Ownership

You retain all ownership rights to Your Content.

6.2 Licence to us

By submitting Your Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute Your Content solely for the purpose of operating the App — for example, showing your clips to coaches you have allowed to view them, or processing your chat messages through our AI coach.

This licence ends when you delete Your Content or your account.

6.3 Your responsibilities

You represent and warrant that:

  • You own or have all necessary rights to Your Content
  • Your Content does not violate any law or third-party right
  • Your Content is not objectionable under Section 5

6.4 No tolerance for objectionable content

We have zero tolerance for objectionable content, including content that is sexually explicit, hateful, violent, harassing, defamatory, or that exploits minors.

6.5 Reporting, blocking, and takedown

You can:

  • Report any content or user inside the App that you believe violates these Terms (the Report button appears on every clip, chat message, and profile)
  • Block any user from contacting you or appearing in your feeds (Block button on every user profile; manage your blocked list under Settings → Blocked Users)

We commit to:

  • Reviewing every report within 24 hours
  • Removing objectionable content and suspending abusive users within that window
  • Contacting reporters with the outcome where appropriate

To report content urgently, you can also email hello@mino-app.com with the details.

6.6 Our removal rights

We may remove any content, at any time, for any reason, without notice. We may also suspend or permanently terminate any account that violates Section 5 or 6.

7. Subscriptions and In-App Purchases

Mino plans to offer a paid subscription ("Pro") through Apple's In-App Purchase system. The following terms apply once subscriptions are live:

If Pro features are not available in your country, your subscription may grant access to a reduced set of features.

8. Intellectual Property

The App, its design, code, branding, AI prompts, and all related content (excluding Your Content) are owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws.

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App without our written permission.

"Mino" and the Mino logo are our trademarks. You may not use them without our prior written consent.

9. AI-Generated Output

The App uses third-party AI (OpenAI) to generate personalised coaching responses, daily tasks, and other features. You acknowledge that:

If you have a medical condition or injury, consult a qualified professional before following AI-generated training suggestions.

10. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services including Supabase (hosting and storage), OpenAI (AI processing), Apple (authentication, in-app purchases), and email providers. Your use of the App is also subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of these third parties.

11. Termination

You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time.

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, if:

On termination, your right to use the App ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive (intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, governing law) will remain in effect.

12. Disclaimers

The App is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We do not warrant that:

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

15. Apple-Specific Terms (iOS App Store)

If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, the following terms also apply:

15.1 Acknowledgement

These Terms are between you and Mino only, not with Apple. Mino is solely responsible for the App and its content.

15.2 Scope of Licence

Your licence to use the App is limited to use on Apple-branded products that you own or control and as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.

15.3 Maintenance and Support

Mino is solely responsible for any maintenance and support of the App. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.

15.4 Warranty

Mino is responsible for any product warranties (express or implied by law) to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.

15.5 Claims

Mino, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any user or third-party claims relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product liability, legal compliance, and intellectual property claims.

15.6 Intellectual Property

In the event of a third-party claim that the App infringes their intellectual property rights, Mino, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.

15.7 Legal Compliance

You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the U.S. Treasury Department's Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List, the U.S. Commerce Department's Denied Persons List, and the U.S. Commerce Department's Entity List.

15.8 Third-Party Beneficiary

You acknowledge that Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the App will be brought exclusively before the courts of Dubai, UAE, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer based in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction that grants mandatory consumer protections, nothing in these Terms removes your right to bring claims under your local consumer protection laws.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms when the App or our practices change. The "Last updated" date at the top tells you when changes were made.

For material changes, we will notify you in the App or by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the App after a change means you accept the new Terms. If you do not accept the changes, you must stop using the App and delete your account.
