All types of products with digital content such as books, CDs, DVDs, audio and video recordings, software, and computer consumables whose protective elements such as packaging, tape, seal, or wrapping have been opened; vi) all services performed instantly in electronic environment and all kinds of intangible goods delivered instantly to the consumer

In cases where the right of withdrawal may be exercised, the BUYER is legally responsible for any changes and deterioration that occur if the goods are not used in accordance with their operation, technical specifications, and instructions for use during the withdrawal period. Accordingly, if changes or deterioration occur due to the Product not being used in accordance with the instructions for use, technical specifications, and operation until the date of withdrawal, the BUYER may lose the right of withdrawal; in cases accepted by the SELLER, a deduction corresponding to the change/deterioration shall be made from the Product price to be refunded. In cases where the right of withdrawal exists, it is sufficient for the BUYER to have directed a clear declaration of exercising the right of withdrawal to the SELLER within the statutory 14-day period (communicated verbally/in writing to the contact addresses specified above). In the event that this right is exercised within the prescribed period, the Product must be sent to the SELLER’s address above within a maximum of ten (10) days, at the BUYER’s expense. If a contracted cargo company for product returns is specified on the WEBSITE, the BUYER may send the Product from a branch within or outside their district, in which case no cost shall be charged to the BUYER. In this return process, the Product must be delivered complete and undamaged together with its box, packaging, and standard accessories if any. In addition, as required by tax legislation, in cases where a Return Invoice must be legally issued by the BUYER, as well as on the invoice to be returned together with the Product, the section related to the return specified below must be completed and signed. Order returns for which invoices are issued in the name of institutions (legal entities) shall not be accepted unless a Return Invoice is issued. “The address to which the product will be returned is the SELLER’s address / the address of the cargo company to which it is delivered for return.” Provided that the requirements specified above are fulfilled by the BUYER, within 14 days from the date the withdrawal notice reaches the SELLER, the Product price and, if applicable, the delivery costs of the Product to the BUYER shall be refunded to the BUYER in a manner consistent with the payment instrument used when purchasing the Product. The BUYER’s legal rights and responsibilities after the withdrawal period regarding the Products, as well as the SELLER’s contractual and legal collection and offset rights including those relating to reward points owed by the BUYER, and obligations, are additionally valid and in force.

5- SPECIAL TERMS APPLICABLE IN CASES WHERE THE BUYER EARNS DISCOUNT POINTS AND/OR MAKES PAYMENT TO THE SELLER USING DISCOUNT VOUCHERS WHEN PURCHASING THE PRODUCT SUBJECT TO THE AGREEMENT

  1. Where there is a current agreement/contract between an organization that grants reward points and similar benefits, the BUYER, and the SELLER that allows reward points to be used for discounts and similar benefits when shopping on the WEBSITE belonging to the SELLER, if the BUYER has earned such reward points as a result of the purchase subject to this Agreement pursuant to the said agreement of the SELLER and their own contract with the said organization, in cases where withdrawal from this Agreement or termination/order cancellation and a refund to the BUYER are in question, the amount (monetary value) of reward points, gifts, and similar items earned by the BUYER through the purchase subject to this Agreement shall be reclaimed from the BUYER. Specifically; unless a different method is stipulated in the SELLER’s agreement with the relevant organization, this reclamation shall be made first from other sufficient reward points of the BUYER held with the said organization/system (excluding reward points earned through the purchase subject to this Agreement), if available, or otherwise by deducting (offsetting) from the amount to be refunded to the BUYER by the SELLER.
  2. If the BUYER has made payment to the SELLER for the purchase of the Product subject to this Agreement partially/entirely using reward points or similar, in cases where a refund of the Product price to the BUYER is in question pursuant to the relevant provisions of this Agreement, the reward points and similar used by the BUYER when purchasing the Product on the WEBSITE may be refunded to the BUYER (again as points), unless the SELLER has a different agreement with the relevant organization.
  3. As a general rule applicable in cases where unjust earning or use of reward points by the BUYER is detected in any manner, the monetary value/amount of said reward points may be collected by the SELLER from the BUYER (via credit card, cash, and other legal methods). This provision also applies to the value of goods given as gifts to the BUYER by the SELLER as a result of the application of such a system.
  4. Other matters related to the earning and use of reward points and similar are subject to the provisions of the agreements/contracts between the relevant organization, the BUYER, and the SELLER; and in relevant cases, the SELLER may exercise all rights and authorities specified herein and in the said agreements/contracts with respect to the BUYER and the organization, and may also carry out the relevant transactions on behalf of and/or for the account of the said organization and/or other businesses in the same system.
  5. Cash money demands in exchange for reward points earned from or used with the SELLER, gift vouchers, and similar shall not be accepted under any circumstances or in any manner.
  6. The SELLER accepts no liability for disputes between the BUYER and the aforementioned organizations or for any material, legal, financial, or non-financial consequences thereof; the above provisions remain valid and reserved.
  7. The above provisions also apply by analogy to the earning and use of reward points obtained directly from the SELLER by the Consumer, if any. All consumers who earn reward points from the WEBSITE/SELLER or use reward points and similar in their payments to the SELLER, and thus the BUYER, are deemed to have accepted the above special terms as well.
