Terms of use

Last updated: April 2026

1. Overview

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern the use of Myndel ("we", "us", "the Platform"), a digital loyalty card service operated from Finland. By using Myndel — whether as a shop owner or as a customer of a participating shop — you agree to these Terms.

Myndel operates as a software platform. The loyalty programmes themselves are operated by independent businesses ("Shops"). Myndel is not a party to the relationship between a Shop and its customers beyond providing the technology platform.

2. Two types of users

These Terms apply to two distinct groups:

  • Shop owners — businesses and individuals who create a Myndel account to manage a loyalty programme for their customers.
  • Loyalty programme participants ("Participants") — customers of a Shop who register for a digital loyalty card through Myndel.

Certain sections of these Terms apply specifically to one group. Where relevant, this is indicated clearly.

3. Shop owner terms

3.1 Account

Shop owners must create an account using a valid email address. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. You must notify us immediately at hello@myndel.app if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

3.2 Acceptable use

You agree to use Myndel only for lawful purposes. You may not:

  • Use the platform to send unsolicited marketing communications
  • Collect customer data beyond what is necessary for the loyalty programme
  • Misrepresent the nature of rewards or loyalty terms to your customers
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer or disrupt the platform

3.3 Responsibility for your loyalty programme

You are solely responsible for:

  • The accuracy of reward rules communicated to your customers
  • Honouring the rewards you have promised
  • Ensuring your own compliance with applicable consumer protection laws
  • Handling customer complaints related to your loyalty programme

3.4 Data processing

As a Shop owner, you act as a data controller for your customers' personal data collected through Myndel. Myndel acts as a data processor on your behalf. By using the platform, you accept our Data Processing Agreement, which forms part of these Terms.

You are responsible for ensuring you have a lawful basis for processing customer data, including obtaining valid consent for email communications.

3.5 Pricing and billing

Myndel is currently free to use during early access. When paid plans are introduced, you will be given at least 60 days advance notice. Continued use after that date constitutes acceptance of the new pricing. You may cancel at any time before the effective date without charge.

4. Participant terms

4.1 Joining a loyalty programme

When you register for a loyalty card through Myndel, you are joining a programme operated by the Shop — not by Myndel directly. Your loyalty stamps, rewards, and any associated benefits are subject to the Shop's rules.

4.2 Your loyalty card

Your loyalty card is accessible via a unique URL sent to your email address. This link is personal to you. You should not share it with others, as stamps and rewards are tied to your account.

4.3 Rewards

Rewards are defined and managed by the Shop. Myndel does not guarantee the availability or delivery of rewards. If you have a dispute regarding a reward, you should contact the Shop directly.

4.4 Communications

By joining a loyalty programme, you consent to receive transactional emails related to your card (stamp confirmations, reward alerts, reminders). You can withdraw consent and delete your data at any time using the link in any email or the opt-out option on your card page.

5. Intellectual property

Myndel and its content, features, and functionality are owned by Myndel and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, or distribute any part of the platform without our written consent.

Content you provide (shop name, logo, email templates) remains your property. You grant Myndel a limited licence to use it solely to provide the service.

6. Availability and changes

We aim to keep Myndel available at all times but cannot guarantee uninterrupted service. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the platform with reasonable notice.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to Shop owners by email. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

7. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by Finnish and EU law, Myndel is not liable for:

  • Loss of revenue or customers resulting from platform downtime
  • Actions or omissions of Shop owners towards their customers
  • Indirect, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind

Our total liability to any user shall not exceed the amount paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim (or €100 if no payment has been made).

8. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Finland. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Helsinki, Finland, unless mandatory EU consumer protection law requires otherwise.
