- In the case that, for any reason following the delivery of the Product, the Bank/financial institution which issued the credit card by which the transaction is made, fails to pay the Product price to SELLER or claims back the price paid by it, BUYER shall be notified of this circumstance in writing, and in this case, BUYER shall re-send the product price within 3 days at the latest following the notification, and otherwise, the product shall be returned by BUYER to SELLER. If non-payment of the Product price arises from a fault or negligence of BUYER, the courier costs shall be borne by BUYER.

- The Product which is the subject of the Contract shall be delivered to BUYER, or the third party/organization at the address shown by it on the Website, on the basis of the principles specified in this contract, on the condition that the legal period of 30 days is not exceeded.
- SELLER sends the Products and ensures their delivery through its contracted courier company. In the case that this courier company does not have any branch at the place where BUYER is resident, BUYER should take delivery of the Product from another nearby branch of the courier company notified by SELLER.
- If it is understood that it will not be able to provide the Product that is the subject of the Contract, SELLER may provide another product/service with equivalent quality/price, on the condition that it explicitly informs BUYER thereof within three (3) days following the date when it becomes aware of this circumstance and obtains its oral/written approval, and in this case, SELLER is deemed to have fulfilled its commitment that is the subject of the Contract by this means. BUYER is free regarding whether or not to give the aforementioned approval, and in the cases where it does not give approval, contractual/legal provisions with respect to cancellation of the order (termination of the Contract) shall apply.
- The Courier Companies deliver to BUYERS the consignments that they receive from SELLER, within approximately 3 (three) business days under normal circumstances, although this may change depending upon the relevant distance.

- In the case that BUYER is not personally present at its address at the time of delivery of the Products and the persons at the address reject the delivery, SELLER shall be deemed to have performed its obligation in this respect. In the case that there is nobody at the address to take the delivery, it is the BUYER’s responsibility to contact the courier company and to track the shipment of the products.
- If the Product will be delivered to a person/organization other than BUYER, SELLER cannot be held liable in the case that the person/organization which will take the delivery is not present at its address or rejects the delivery.

- BUYER is obliged to check the Product at the time when it takes delivery of it and not to accept the Product when it observes a problem with the Product arising from the courier company, and to make sure that the courier company’s official issues a report in this respect. Otherwise, SELLER shall not assume any liability.
- If the Product cannot be delivered within the maximum legal period of 30 days due to states of emergency (adverse weather conditions, heavy traffic, earthquake, flood, fire etc.) other than normal sales/delivery circumstances, SELLER shall inform BUYER in relation to the delivery. In this case, BUYER may cancel the order, place an order for a similar product, or wait until the state of emergency ends.

- BUYER is entitled to rescind this Contract without showing any reason and without paying any penalty clause, within fourteen (14) days from the date when it has taken delivery of the Product. The provision of article 7.11 of this Contract is reserved.
- The period available for exercising the right of rescission starts on the date when BUYER (or a third party on behalf of BUYER) takes delivery of goods. However, BUYER may exercise the right of rescission also within the period from the time of entry into the contract to delivery of goods. The following dates are taken as basis in determination of the period available for exercising the right of rescission:
- a) In the case of those goods which are the subject of a single order but delivered separately, the day when BUYER or the third party designated by BUYER has taken delivery of the last product,
- b) In the case of those goods consisting of more than one part, the day when BUYER or the third party designated by BUYER has taken delivery of the last part,
- c) In the case of those contracts where regular delivery of goods is made for a certain period, the day when BUYER or the third party designated by BUYER has taken delivery of the first product.
- In the cases where it is possible to exercise the right of rescission, BUYER is legally liable for the changes and impairments occurred as a result of failure to use the goods within the period available for rescission in accordance with their operation, technical specifications and usage instructions. Accordingly, in the case that any change or impairment occurs in the period until the date of rescission due to failure to use the Product in accordance with its usage instructions, technical specifications and operation, BUYER may lose its right of rescission, and in the cases where it is accepted by SELLER, price of the Product to be returned may be discounted at an amount equal to the value of change / impairment.
- In the cases where right of rescission is available, BUYER should send to SELLER an express notice regarding that it has exercised its right of rescission, within the legal period of 14 days. The rescission can be communicated to the above-specified contact addresses or through the link ………………………. Within ten days following the date when BUYER sends the notice regarding that it has exercised its right of rescission, BUYER is obliged to send the product at its own expense to the above address of SELLER.

- In the return process, the Product should be delivered in full and free of damage, together with its box, package, and all standard accessories thereof if any. Furthermore, pursuant to the tax legislation, in addition to those circumstances where BUYER is legally required to issue a Return Invoice, the section regarding the return on the invoice which will be returned together with the Product should be filled in and signed. The order returns, the invoice for which is issued in the name of corporations (legal persons), shall not be accepted unless a Return Invoice is issued, on the condition that the rights available in this respect regarding that the transaction is not a consumer transaction are reserved.
- The address where the Product will be returned is SELLER’s address or the address of the courier company to which the Product is handed over for return.

Also, in the case of order cancellations and terminations of the Contract, if the Product price has been collected, this price shall be returned to BUYER within maximum 14 days in accordance with the payment instrument used by it while purchasing the Product. For example, in the case of payments by credit card, the return transaction is also made by returning the relevant amount to BUYER’s credit card, and the Product price is returned to the relevant bank within the same period following rescission, termination or cancellation, and since, after return of this amount by SELLER to the bank, reflection of this amount to BUYER’s accounts is completely dependent on the banking transaction process, BUYER accepts in advance that it will not be possible for SELLER to make any intervention and to assume any liability for possible delays (reflection of the returned amount by banks to BUYER’s account may generally take up to three weeks).
- SELLER has and reserves its rights of set-off, discount and deduction arising from this Contract and law with respect to the amount to be returned.
