Terms of service

Last updated: 29 August 2026

Who you are agreeing with

boxom is operated by Techtone Kft., 2083 Solymár, Törökkút utca 23, Hungary. Company number 13-09-198456. VAT number HU26673369. info@theboxom.com.

What boxom is, and what it is not

boxom is a record of what you have and when you thought it would go off. It is useful because you keep it up to date.

boxom is not a source of truth about food safety. A date in boxom is the date you entered or the date printed on the pack, carried forward by a rule of thumb once the pack is open. It is not an inspection. Look at the food, smell it, and use your judgement. Never decide that something is safe to eat because boxom has not warned you about it.

Where the product information comes from

Names, brands, sizes, categories, nutrition figures and photographs come from Open Food Facts, a community database that anyone may contribute to. It is generous and it is imperfect. Entries can be wrong, out of date, or missing.

Always read the pack for allergens. If someone in your household reacts to an ingredient, the packaging in your hand is the authority, never the screen.

The trial

Five days, up to 200 items, everything unlocked, and no card. When it ends nothing is deleted: your items wait for you, and you can read and remove them whether or not you subscribe.

The subscription

3.99 EUR a month, renewing monthly until you stop it. You can cancel at any time, from inside the app, and it runs to the end of the period you have paid for. We do not ask why and we do not put a retention flow in the way.

If we ever change the price, you will be told before it applies to you, and you can leave.

Your right to change your mind

If you live in the European Union you have fourteen days from subscribing to withdraw, without giving a reason. Tell us at info@theboxom.com and we will refund you.

If you ask us to start the service immediately, you keep that right but we may charge for the part you used before you withdrew.

What is yours

Your inventory, your lists and your history belong to you. We claim no ownership of them and we do not use them to build anything else. Export them whenever you like.

The catalogue, the app and the site are ours or our licensors'.

Using boxom properly

Do not try to break it, overload it, pull the catalogue out of it wholesale, or use it to do something illegal. Do not add another household to yours without their agreement. We may suspend an account that does these things, and we will say why.

When it does not work

We keep boxom running as well as we reasonably can, but we do not promise it will never be down, never be slow, and never be wrong. Your phone keeps working when ours does not: what you have already scanned stays readable.

Liability

We are responsible for what we do wrong, up to what you have paid us in the twelve months before it happened. We are not responsible for indirect losses, nor for a decision you made about whether food was safe.

Nothing here removes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or anything else the law does not let us exclude, and nothing here takes away the rights consumer law gives you.

Law, and where an argument goes

Hungarian law applies. If you are a consumer you keep every protection your own country's law gives you, and you may bring a case where you live.

You can also use the European Commission's online dispute platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr, though writing to us first is faster.
