Terms of Use

Last updated: 22 August 2026

These terms govern your use of the Imenko website and mobile app. Please read them — a few clauses describe behaviour that may otherwise surprise you, in particular how your device account works and how a match can disappear.

Acceptance

By using Imenko you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service. Imenko is operated by Solar Blue d.o.o. (“we”, “us”). Our privacy policy forms part of these terms.

What Imenko is

Imenko is a Croatian baby-names reference and shortlisting tool. It lets you:

  • Browse, search and filter a curated catalogue of Croatian names
  • Read meanings, origins, histories, name days and notable bearers
  • See how often a name was given to newborns, and how many people carry it today
  • Swipe through names to build a private shortlist
  • Pair with a partner and see the names you both liked

Who may use it

You must be at least 16 years old to use Imenko. By using it, you confirm that you are.

Your device account

Imenko has no username and no password. When you first open the app it registers your device and stores a secret token on it. That token is your account.

  • Anyone holding the token can act as you, so do not copy it off your device or share it
  • We store only a hash of it, so we cannot recover, reissue or reset it
  • If you lose it — by uninstalling, resetting the device, or restoring to a different handset — you permanently lose access to your swipes, your matches and your pairing
  • In that situation the app simply registers a new, empty device

This is the trade we made in order not to ask for your email address. We think it is the right one, but you should know about it before you build up a long shortlist.

Pairing and matches

Pairing lets two people see the names they both liked. It is entirely optional.

Invite codes

  • An invite code is a capability: anyone who has it can pair with you
  • A code is valid for 48 hours and can be used once
  • Creating a new code immediately invalidates your previous one
  • Share a code only with the person you intend to pair with, and treat a code posted in a group chat as compromised
  • You may be paired with at most one partner at a time

How matches behave

  • A match exists only while you BOTH currently have an active like on that name
  • If either of you changes a like to maybe or dislike, or deletes it, the match disappears for both of you — silently, with no notification
  • When you pair, every name you had both already liked becomes a match at once
  • Unpairing removes all matches for both sides; your own swipes are kept, so pairing again recalculates them

If either of you subscribes to Imenko Pro, that one subscription covers both of you for as long as you stay paired. The Imenko Pro section below sets out what that means for each of you.

Acceptable use

You agree to use Imenko for its intended purpose, and not to:

  • Attempt to overload, disrupt or circumvent the service, including its rate limits
  • Systematically scrape, crawl or bulk-download the name catalogue
  • Reverse engineer, decompile or tamper with the app or its API, beyond what applicable law permits
  • Attempt to access another user's device account, swipes or matches
  • Use the service to harass anyone, or to send invite codes to people who have not asked for them
  • Resell, redistribute or republish the catalogue as a competing dataset or product

Our API is documented publicly so that the mobile app can be built against it. That documentation is not a licence to use it in your own product. Requests are rate limited, and we may block clients that abuse the service.

What you send us

The only content you can submit is a message through the support form. When you send one:

  • You confirm it is your own and that it contains nothing unlawful, abusive or infringing
  • You allow us to read it, act on it, and quote it internally for support and product purposes
  • You should not include passwords, payment details or sensitive personal information — we do not need any of them
  • We may delete messages that are abusive or that misuse the form

Where the name data comes from

Imenko compiles its catalogue from published public sources:

  • The Croatian Bureau of Statistics — newborn name counts by year, and the 2021 Census count of living bearers
  • A publicly published atlas of Croatian personal names by county
  • The Croatian name-day calendar and the Bishops’ Conference liturgical calendar
  • Public reference works on name meanings, origins and history

What we do and do not guarantee

  • Statistical figures are reproduced from their published source and credited to it; we do not alter them
  • Meanings, origins and histories are compiled from reference works and are frequently contested — scholars disagree, and so do sources
  • We do not warrant that any of it is accurate, complete or current, and sources are revised without notice
  • Where a source suppresses a figure we say so, rather than estimating it
  • Naming a child is your decision alone. Imenko is a reference tool, and nothing in it is advice — legal, cultural, religious or otherwise
  • Croatian law governs what may be entered in the register of births. Whether a name can be registered is a matter for the registrar, not for this app

Imenko Pro

Imenko is free to download, and its core features are free to use. An optional subscription, Imenko Pro, unlocks additional features.

Free and paid

  • Browsing, searching and reading name information are free
  • Additional features are unlocked with an Imenko Pro subscription
  • You can use the free features for as long as you like before deciding
  • What each tier includes is shown in the app before you subscribe, and may change over time

One subscription, two partners

  • One Imenko Pro subscription covers both paired partners: while you are paired, both devices get the Pro features
  • Only the subscriber is our customer. Only they are charged, and only they can change, cancel or seek a refund for the subscription
  • The partner pays nothing and buys nothing. They gain no rights in the subscription and no claim against us if it ends
  • The partner's Pro access ends when the subscription lapses or reaches the end of a cancelled period, and immediately if either of you unpairs
  • Coverage follows the pairing rather than the person: if you later pair with someone else, the coverage moves with the pairing
  • Being covered tells each of you only that Pro is active through the other. No price, product, store, purchase date or expiry is shared between you

Billing

  • Payment is taken by the Apple App Store or Google Play, not by us
  • Prices are shown in the app before purchase and vary by region and local tax
  • Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends
  • Renewal is charged within the 24 hours before the current period ends
  • We may change the price with notice; a price change never applies to a period you have already paid for
  • If a free trial or introductory offer is available, its length and the price that follows are shown before you buy; starting a paid subscription forfeits any unused part of a trial

Cancelling

  • Cancel at any time in your App Store or Play Store subscription settings — deleting the app alone does not stop billing
  • Access continues until the end of the period you have paid for
  • Cancelling does not by itself trigger a refund for the current period

Refunds

Because the stores take the payment, they also handle refunds under their own policies:

If you are a consumer in the European Union you have a statutory right of withdrawal within 14 days of purchase. Where you start using a digital subscription immediately, the stores' purchase flows may ask you to waive it. Nothing in this section limits rights you have under mandatory consumer law.

The app stores

You install Imenko from the Apple App Store or Google Play. These terms are an agreement between you and us — the stores are not parties to it — but each store's own terms also apply to your use of it, and Apple requires us to state the following.

  • This agreement is between you and Solar Blue d.o.o. alone. Apple and Google are not parties to it and are not responsible for Imenko or its content
  • Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for Imenko. Ask us instead — our contact details are at the end of this page
  • If Imenko fails to conform to a warranty that cannot be disclaimed, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation of any kind
  • We, not Apple, are responsible for any claim that Imenko or your use of it infringes intellectual property rights, and for any product liability, consumer-protection or regulatory claim relating to it
  • You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by it as supporting terrorism, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you
  • You must also comply with any applicable third-party terms of service when using Imenko

Availability and changes

We aim to keep Imenko running, but:

  • We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability
  • Maintenance, provider outages and updates may interrupt the service
  • Features may be added, changed or removed
  • We may discontinue the service; if we do, we will give reasonable notice and will not charge for a period we cannot deliver

Suspension and termination

You may stop using Imenko at any time by uninstalling it, and you can ask us to erase your data as described in the privacy policy.

  • We may suspend or terminate access if you materially breach these terms, in particular the acceptable-use clause
  • Where a breach is not serious and can be put right, we will normally warn you first
  • If we terminate your access without cause while you hold a paid subscription, we will refund the unused part of that period
  • Ending your access does not affect rights or obligations that arose beforehand

Intellectual property

The Imenko name, design, code, and the way the catalogue is compiled and presented, belong to us. The underlying facts do not.

  • Raw statistics are public data and we claim no ownership of them; we credit the Bureau of Statistics wherever its figures appear
  • Our selection, arrangement, editorial text and translations are ours and are protected as such
  • You may use the app and the site for personal, non-commercial purposes
  • You may not republish the catalogue, in whole or in substantial part, as your own dataset or product
  • If you hold rights in material we have used and believe it is used improperly, contact us and we will review it and, where appropriate, remove it

Disclaimer

Imenko is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement.

In particular, we make no representation that any name shown is suitable, registrable or appropriate for your child, and we accept no responsibility for a naming decision.

Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of data, or loss of profit arising from your use of or inability to use Imenko. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited under applicable law. If you are a consumer, your mandatory statutory rights are unaffected by anything written here.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms. The revision date at the top reflects the last substantive change. If a revision materially affects your rights we will notify you in the app before it takes effect, and continuing to use Imenko afterwards means you accept the revised terms.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by Croatian law. If you are a consumer you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country in which you live, and you may bring proceedings before the courts there. Otherwise the courts of Croatia have exclusive jurisdiction.

The EU's online dispute resolution platform was discontinued on 20 July 2025 and no longer exists. If you are a consumer and we cannot settle a complaint between us, you can find the out-of-court dispute resolution bodies approved for your country through the European Commission's consumer redress portal at consumer-redress.ec.europa.eu.

General

  • If a clause here turns out to be unenforceable, the rest stays in force and that clause applies as closely to its original intent as the law allows
  • If we do not enforce a clause straight away, we do not give up the right to enforce it later
  • You may not transfer your rights under these terms to anyone else. We may transfer ours if Imenko is sold or reorganised, and doing so will not reduce your rights
  • These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement between us about Imenko, and replace anything said before them
  • These terms are published in Croatian and English. If the two differ, the Croatian version governs for users in Croatia and the English version elsewhere
