7. User Content and Licence
7.1 The User retains all rights it holds in its User Content. By uploading or transmitting User Content, the User grants the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, process and display the User Content solely to the extent necessary to provide, maintain and improve the Services and to comply with legal obligations. This licence ends when the relevant User Content is deleted, except where retention is required by law or the content has been shared with others who have not deleted it.

Detailed information on the nature, scope, purposes and legal bases of the processing, as well as on data subjects’ rights, is set out in the Company’s Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of the contractual relationship.

10.2 Where User Content or personal data is used to develop, train, evaluate or improve AI systems, such processing is carried out only on a valid legal basis under the GDPR and in accordance with the AI Act, applying appropriate technical and organisational measures.

12. Checking, Blocking, Deleting and Securing User Data

12.2 The User is responsible for any data backup it desires. The Company does not provide a backup service and, save in cases of mandatory statutory liability, accepts no liability for the non-recovery of User Content in the event of loss or damage, in particular where the User has failed to maintain its own backups.
13. Cancellation and Termination
13.1 The free basic use runs for an indefinite period and may be terminated by the User at any time, most simply by deleting the user account in the settings, or alternatively by e-mail (info@guristeknoloji.com) or in writing.
13.2 Ordinary termination of a Paid Service is excluded unless it is a subscription. A subscription is automatically renewed for the selected period unless the User terminates it no later than 24 hours before the end of the current term. Termination of a Paid Service does not affect the free basic use.
13.3 The right of each Party to extraordinary termination without notice for good cause remains unaffected and is governed by the statutory provisions. The Company may, in particular, suspend or terminate an account with immediate effect if the User materially breaches these Terms, the Privacy Policy or applicable law.
13.4 Upon termination, the Company may delete the User’s account and User Content, subject to any statutory retention obligations. The User is responsible for retaining copies of its User Content prior to termination.
14. Third-Party Services and Links
14.1 The Services may contain links to, or integrations with, websites, applications or content operated by third parties. The Company does not control and is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, legality or content of such third-party offerings. Use of third-party services is at the User’s own risk and may be subject to the third party’s own terms and privacy policies.
15. Warranties and Disclaimers
15.1 The Services are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company does not warrant that the Services will meet the User’s requirements, be free of viruses or errors, or that any particular result will be achieved through their use. Mandatory statutory warranty rights, in particular those of consumers, remain unaffected.
16. Limitation of Liability
16.1 The Company is liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body or health, for damages caused by intent or gross negligence, and to the extent liability is mandatory under applicable law.
16.2 In the case of slight negligence, the Company is liable only for the breach of a material contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfilment is essential to the proper performance of the contract and on which the User may reasonably rely), and in such cases liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.
16.3 Any further liability of the Company is excluded. This limitation does not apply to the extent that liability is mandatory under Applicable Data Protection Law or other mandatory law.
17. Indemnification
17.1 The User shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against any third-party claims, including reasonable costs of legal defence, arising from the User’s culpable breach of these Terms, of applicable law, or of the rights of third parties, in particular in connection with the User Content. Mandatory consumer protection provisions remain unaffected.
18. Force Majeure
18.1 The Company is not liable for the non-performance or delayed performance of its obligations where this is due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, fire, war, civil unrest, strikes, epidemics or pandemics, failures of infrastructure or the internet, power outages or cyber attacks. During a force majeure event, the affected obligations are suspended.
19. Changes to These Terms
19.1 The Company may amend these Terms where necessary, for example due to changes in the Services, in the legal framework or in case law. Users will be informed of material changes by appropriate means, and the changes will take effect 10 days after their announcement. If the User does not object within this period and continues to use the Services, the User is deemed to have accepted the changes. The Company will specifically point out this consequence and the right to object in the notice of changes. Where a change requires the User’s consent under mandatory law, that consent will be obtained.
20. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
20.1 These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. This choice of law does not deprive a consumer of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the consumer has his/her habitual residence.
20.2 The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms is Ankara, Türkiye, to the extent permitted by law. Mandatory statutory places of jurisdiction, in particular for consumers, remain unaffected.
21. Severability and Miscellaneous
21.1 Should any provision of these Terms be or become invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.
21.2 The User may not assign or transfer this agreement or any rights or obligations under it, in whole or in part, to a third party without the Company’s prior written consent.
21.3 All notices under these Terms shall be sent to the Company’s known e-mail address and to the e-mail address provided by the User.
