    Agreement

    The following terms and conditions (the "Agreement") govern the use of the gorkemgumustekin.com website and its services ("Services"), which are advertised and available on the gorkemgumustekin.com website (the "Site"). The Site is owned and operated by Görkem Gümüştekin.

    We operate the website https://gorkemgumustekin.com (the "Site"), as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the "Legal Terms") (collectively, the "Services"). You can contact us by email at info@gorkemgumustekin.com.

    The following Legal Terms establish a legally binding agreement between you, whether acting personally or on behalf of an entity ("you"), and website, governing your access to and use of the Services. By accessing the Services, you affirm that you have thoroughly read, understood, and agreed to abide by all the provisions set forth in these Legal Terms. If you disagree with any aspect of these legal terms, you are explicitly prohibited from using the services, and you must cease use immediately.

    Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be published on the Services periodically are hereby expressly incorporated by reference.

    We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to make changes or revisions to these Legal Terms periodically. Notification of any such changes will be provided by updating the "Last updated" date of these Legal Terms, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to regularly review these Legal Terms to stay informed about updates. Your continued use of the Services after the posting of revised Legal Terms signifies your acceptance of and agreement to the changes.

    The Legal Terms along with any policies or rules we post on the Services or related to them, form the entire agreement between you and us. Our failure to enforce any part of these Legal Terms doesn't mean we waive that right. These Legal Terms are valid to the fullest extent allowed by law. We can transfer our rights and responsibilities to others at any time. We're not responsible for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by events beyond our control. If any part of these Legal Terms is found to be illegal or unenforceable, it will be removed without affecting the rest of the terms. These Legal Terms don't create a partnership, employment, or agency relationship between you and us. You agree that we won't be treated unfairly because we wrote these terms. By using the Services, you waive any objections based on these Legal Terms being in electronic form and not signed by both parties.

    We recommend that you retain a printed copy of these Legal Terms for your reference.

    Privacy Policy

    Review our Privacy Policy at https://gorkemgumustekin.com/privacy-policy/. By using the Services, you're agreeing to the Privacy Policy and these Legal Terms. We prioritize data privacy and security.

    Disclosure Policy

    We value transparency and integrity in all aspects of our business, including our marketing practices. This disclosure policy is intended to inform our users about our engagement in certain types of promotion, such as sponsored content or affiliate marketing, and to comply with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) standard for marketing disclosures.

    Types of Promotion

    We engage in various types of promotion on our website, including sponsored content and affiliate marketing. Sponsored content refers to content that has been created or influenced by a third party in exchange for compensation. Affiliate marketing involves earning a commission by promoting products or services of other companies through affiliate links.

    Practices for Marketing

    When engaging in sponsored content or affiliate marketing, we strive to maintain transparency and authenticity. Our practices include:

    1. Clearly labeling sponsored content: Any content that is sponsored will be clearly labeled as such to distinguish it from our editorial content. This labeling ensures that our users are aware of any material relationships we have with third parties.
    2. Disclosure of affiliate links: Whenever we include affiliate links in our content, we will disclose this information to our users. This disclosure will typically appear at the beginning or end of the content or within the content itself.
    3. Honest and unbiased reviews: In cases where we review products or services provided by third parties, we will provide honest and unbiased assessments, regardless of any compensation received.

    FTC Disclosure Requirements

    In accordance with FTC regulations, we will ensure that all sponsored content and affiliate marketing activities include the necessary disclosures. These disclosures will be prominently displayed to ensure that our users are fully informed about any material relationships or compensation involved.

    By accessing and using our website, you acknowledge and agree to our disclosure policy.

    Disclaimer

    We offer the services "as is" and "as available," meaning we don't guarantee their perfection or constant availability. You understand that using the services comes entirely at your own risk.

    We cannot, to the fullest extent allowed by law, make any promises (warranties) about the services, including whether they'll work for a specific purpose or if they're completely accurate. This applies to both direct and indirect promises.

    We also don't promise the information in the services or any linked websites/apps is accurate or complete. We will not be held responsible for any of the following issues resulting from your access to and use of our services:

    • Mistakes or inaccuracies in the content.
    • Any harm caused by using the services.
    • Unauthorized access to our systems or your information stored there.
    • Service interruptions.
    • Viruses or other harmful software transmitted through the services.
    • Missing information or any loss or damage resulting from using the service's content.

    We don't endorse or guarantee any products or services advertised by others through the services, linked websites, or ads. We won't be involved in disputes between you and those third parties.

    Exercise caution and good judgment when using these services, just as you would with any online or offline purchases.

    We and our directors, employees, or agents are not responsible for any direct, indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages, such as lost profit, lost revenue, loss of data, or other damages from your use of the services. This applies even if we've been informed of possible damages. Regardless of this, our liability to you will always be limited to the lesser of the amount you've paid us, if any. However, some US state and international laws don't allow for limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these laws apply to you, some or all of these disclaimers or limitations may not apply, and you may have additional rights.
