Terms and conditions

1. Our Services

Minglum is an event app that lets users create, share, and join events, send invitations, and receive reminders. Minglum provides the tools, and we are not the organiser of, party to, or responsible for any event created or attended through the Services. Any agreements, obligations, or interactions between event hosts and attendees are between those users alone.

The Services are operated from Iceland. If you access the Services from outside Iceland, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction.

2. Intellectual Property Rights

Minglum and its licensors own all rights in the Services, including the app, source code, design, user interface, branding, logos, text, graphics, and any content we provide. These materials are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Services for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, scrape, or attempt to extract the source code of any part of the Services, nor build a competing product based on them.

The Minglum name and logo are trademarks of [Legal Entity Name]. You may not use them without our prior written permission.

3. User Accounts

Accounts are created and accessed using your email address and a one-time passcode (OTP) sent to that address. There are no passwords, and whoever controls your email inbox can access your Minglum account. You are responsible for keeping your email account secure and for all activity that occurs under your Minglum account.

To create an account you must:

• provide a valid, accurate email address;
• be at least 13 years old;
• not share OTP codes with anyone;
• promptly update your information if it changes.

3. User Accounts (continued)

Events flagged as 18+ are restricted to users who are at least 18 years old. By interacting with such events you confirm that you meet this age requirement.

We may suspend, restrict, or delete accounts that are fake, duplicated, inactive for an extended period, or used in violation of these Terms.

4. Prohibited Activities

You agree not to:

• upload, post, or transmit nudity, sexually explicit content, or sexually suggestive content of any kind, including in event images, profile photos, event names, event descriptions, comments, or messages;
• create events involving alcohol, cannabis, gambling, or any other 18+ content without clearly marking the event as 18+ and restricting attendance accordingly;
• include alcohol, drugs, or other 18+ imagery in event photos for events that are not marked as 18+;
• create events that promote or facilitate illegal activity, hate speech, harassment, violence, discrimination, or the exploitation of minors;
• impersonate any person or entity, misrepresent your affiliation with anyone, or create fake or misleading events;
• use the Services to defraud, deceive, or harm other users;
• scrape, crawl, harvest, or otherwise collect data from the Services using automated means;
• attempt to bypass OTP, rate limits, access controls, or any other security feature of the Services;
• use the Services to send spam, phishing, or unsolicited commercial SMS or email;
• upload viruses, malware, or any code intended to interfere with the Services;
• interfere with or disrupt the infrastructure, servers, or networks that support the Services.

4. Prohibited Activities (continued)

Violations may result in immediate content removal, suspension or termination of your account, and reporting to law enforcement or other authorities where appropriate.

5. User Generated Content

The Services let you submit, upload, and share content, including events, photos, descriptions, names, comments, invitations, and messages (collectively, "Contributions"). You are solely responsible for your Contributions.

By submitting any Contribution, you represent and warrant that:

• you own it or have all the rights necessary to submit it;
• it does not infringe the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any third party;
• any identifiable people depicted have consented to being shown in your Contribution;
• it complies with these Terms, including Section 4 (Prohibited Activities);
• it is accurate and not misleading.

5. User Generated Content (continued)

We do not pre-screen Contributions and are not obligated to monitor them, but we may review and remove any Contribution at our sole discretion, at any time, without notice.

6. Content License

You retain ownership of your Contributions. By submitting a Contribution, you grant Minglum a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable licence to host, store, copy, reproduce, modify (for formatting and display purposes), display, transmit, and distribute the Contribution as necessary to operate, provide, and improve the Services, including, for example, showing event details to invitees and including them in email reminders and invitations.

This licence ends when you delete the relevant Contribution from your account, except to the extent that (a) backups retained in the ordinary course of business have not yet been overwritten, and (b) copies have already been shared with other users (for example, an event invitation already delivered to an invitee).

7. Mobile Application License

We grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited licence to install and use the Minglum mobile application on devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with these Terms.

You may not:

• decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the app;
• modify, adapt, or create derivative works of the app;
• remove or alter any proprietary notices;
• use the app in a way that violates applicable law or these Terms.

7. Mobile Application License (continued)

If you download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, the relevant store terms also apply. You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Minglum, and not between you and Apple or Google. Apple and Google are not responsible for the app or its content, are not obligated to provide maintenance or support, and in the case of Apple are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

8. Third-Party Services and Content

The Services rely on third-party providers for hosting, databases, authentication, email delivery, SMS delivery, app store distribution, maps, and analytics. The Services may also link to, or be integrated with, other third-party websites or services.

We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy, security practices, or policies. Your use of any third-party service is at your own risk and is governed by that provider's own terms and privacy policies.

9. SMS Text Messaging

If we send you SMS messages, you consent to receive transactional SMS from Minglum, including event invitations, reminders, RSVP updates, and account or security notifications. Message and data rates from your mobile carrier may apply. Message frequency varies based on your activity.

You can opt out of non-essential SMS at any time by replying STOP to a message from us, or by adjusting your notification preferences in the app. Opting out of essential security messages may require closing your account.

We are not liable for SMS that are delayed, undelivered, or misdelivered due to your carrier, your device, or any cause outside our reasonable control.

10. Email

By creating an account, you consent to receive transactional emails from Minglum, including:

• OTP login codes;
• event invitations and RSVP confirmations;
• event reminders and updates;
• account, billing (if applicable), and security notifications;
• changes to these Terms or our Privacy Policy.

10. Email (continued)

These emails are essential to the operation of the Services and cannot be opted out of while your account remains active. If we ever send marketing or promotional emails, those will be sent only with your separate opt-in consent and can be unsubscribed from at any time.

You are responsible for keeping your email address current and for ensuring that emails from Minglum are not blocked or filtered. We are not liable for emails that are delayed, filtered as spam, or undelivered due to your provider, your device, or any cause outside our reasonable control.

11. Services Management

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to:

• monitor the Services for violations of these Terms;
• investigate and take appropriate legal action against anyone who violates these Terms, including reporting to law enforcement;
• refuse, restrict, or remove access to any Contribution or any part of the Services;
• suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts;
• manage the Services in a manner designed to protect our rights and property and to facilitate proper functioning of the Services.

11. Services Management (continued)

We may take these actions at our sole discretion, with or without notice, and without liability to you.

12. Privacy Policy

Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. By using the Services, you agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy. Minglum processes personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Icelandic data protection law.

13. Term and Termination

These Terms remain in effect for as long as you use the Services.

You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account or access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including (without limitation) violations of these Terms or behaviour we consider harmful to other users or to Minglum.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including those on intellectual property, content licences already granted for Contributions delivered to other users, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, governing law, and dispute resolution, will continue to apply after your account ends.

14. Modifications and Interruptions

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Services at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation.

The Services may be unavailable from time to time due to maintenance, updates, technical issues, or outages affecting our infrastructure or third-party providers. We do not guarantee that the Services will be available, error-free, secure, or uninterrupted.

We may also update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or in the app. Continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

15. Disclaimer

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MINGLUM DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.

We make no warranty that:

• the Services will meet your requirements;
• the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free;
• event information posted by users is accurate, complete, or lawful;
• invitations, reminders, or other notifications will be delivered on time or at all;
• any errors in the Services will be corrected.

15. Disclaimer (continued)

You attend events found or organised through the Services entirely at your own risk.

16. Limitations of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither Minglum nor its directors, employees, contractors, or agents will be liable to you or to any third party for any direct, indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or any other damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In particular, we are not responsible for:

• content created, uploaded, or shared by users, users are solely responsible for what they publish;
• disputes between users, including those arising out of events organised through the Services;
• events that are cancelled, rescheduled, changed, or that fail to meet your expectations;
• any damages, losses, injuries, or harm of any kind occurring at events organised or attended through Minglum;
• third-party services that are linked to or integrated with Minglum.

16. Limitations of Liability (continued)

To the maximum extent permitted by Icelandic law, our total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or relating to your use of the Services shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you have paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) ISK 10,000.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including mandatory consumer protections under Icelandic or EEA law.

17. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Minglum, its affiliates, and their respective directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

• your Contributions;
• your use or misuse of the Services;
• your violation of these Terms;
• your violation of any law or any rights of a third party;
• any event you organise, host, or attend through the Services.

17. Indemnification (continued)

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume exclusive defence and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defence.

18. User Data

We store and process the data you provide and generate while using the Services in order to operate them. You are responsible for the accuracy of the data you submit and for maintaining your own backups of any content that is important to you. Minglum is not a backup service.

We will use commercially reasonable measures to protect your data, but we cannot guarantee absolute security. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for unauthorised access to, alteration of, or destruction of your data, beyond what is required of us under GDPR and Icelandic data protection law.

19. Electronic Communications

By using the Services, you consent to receive communications from us electronically, including via email, SMS, and in-app notifications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

20. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Iceland, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. If you are a consumer resident in the EEA, you also have the benefit of any mandatory protections of the law of the country in which you reside.

21. Dispute Resolution

If you have a dispute with Minglum, please contact us first at support@minglum.is so we can try to resolve it informally. We ask that you allow us at least 30 days to respond before pursuing any formal action.

If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the District Court of Reykjavik (Heradssdomur Reykjavikur), unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

Consumers resident in the EEA may also use the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform:

22. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other notices we publish, constitute the entire agreement between you and Minglum regarding the Services.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision will be severed and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision.

These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchise relationship between you and Minglum.

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms freely.

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of nature, war, terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, internet or telecommunications outages, or actions of governmental authorities.

If we publish these Terms in more than one language, the Icelandic version shall prevail in the event of any conflict, unless otherwise required by law.
