5.5. Non-payment and graduated suspension. Should the renewal fee not be paid on its due date, the following graduated procedure shall be applied:

Article 6 — Performance and Activation

6.1. Web hosting, virtual server (VPS) and VDS. These services shall be installed and made accessible automatically following the collection of the order fee and the completion of identity/card verification checks, if any. The access details shall be sent to the BUYER’s registered e-mail address and may be viewed through the Portal. Services installed automatically and instantaneously are in the nature of services performed instantaneously in the electronic environment.

6.2. Rented dedicated server. In dedicated server services, delivery shall be effected, depending on the stock status of the hardware, the configuration selected and the necessary installation operations, within the delivery period shown to the BUYER at the order step as from the completion of the payment. Delivery shall be deemed completed upon the connection of the server to the network and the transmission of the access details to the BUYER. Pursuant to Article 16 of the Regulation on Distance Contracts, the SELLER shall fulfill its obligation within the period undertaken; in cases involving the delivery of goods, this period may in no event exceed thirty (30) days. Should performance not take place within the undertaken period, the BUYER may terminate the Agreement; in such case, all payments collected shall be refunded within fourteen (14) days as from the date on which the notice of termination reaches the SELLER.

6.3. Co-location. The co-location service is provided solely at the İstanbul — Equinix data center. The process consists of the steps of cabinet/rack allocation, allocation of power and network port, delivery of the BUYER’s hardware to the data center, its acceptance in accordance with the data center entry procedures, and installation. The delivery of the hardware to the data center, its transportation and its insurance belong to the BUYER. Access to the data center is subject to the security and visit procedures of the data center operator (Equinix) and to the obtaining of a prior appointment. Installation shall be completed within the period notified to the BUYER at the order step as from the arrival of the hardware at the data center.

6.4. Domain name registration. Domain name registration requests shall be processed before the registration authority (registry) of the relevant extension and the accredited registrar. The realization of the registration is subject to the approval of the registry; the SELLER may not be held responsible for the non-realization of the registration in cases such as the rejection of the request by the registry, the domain name being taken simultaneously by another applicant, the failure to satisfy the document/eligibility requirements specific to the extension, or similar cases. In such case, the fee collected shall be refunded to the BUYER.

6.4.1. With respect to domain names with the “.tr” extension, allocation procedures shall be carried out within the framework of TRABİS, operated by the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK), and the rules of the Internet Domain Names Regulation (İnternet Alan Adları Yönetmeliği) and the relevant communiqué.

6.4.2. In domain name transfers, transfer locks and waiting periods arising from ICANN and the relevant registry rules may be applied. These periods are not at the disposal of the SELLER.

6.4.3. Responsibility for the accuracy of the registration, renewal and WHOIS/RDAP records of the domain name belongs to the BUYER. The SELLER is not responsible for the suspension of the domain name by the registrar/registry due to incorrect or incomplete contact information.

6.5. Delay arising from verification. The SELLER may, for the purpose of preventing fraud and abuse, request identity or payment verification prior to the activation of the order. In such case, activation may be delayed for a reasonable period until the verification is completed; the verification request shall be notified to the BUYER without delay. Should the verification not be provided, the order shall be cancelled and the fee collected shall be refunded.

Article 7 — Right of Withdrawal

7.1. Cases in which there is no right of withdrawal. Pursuant to subparagraph (ğ) of the first paragraph of Article 15 of the Regulation on Distance Contracts, the consumer has no right of withdrawal in contracts relating to services performed instantaneously in the electronic environment or to intangible goods delivered instantaneously to the consumer.

7.2. Within this scope, with respect to the following services — provided that the condition of automatic and instantaneous performance stipulated in Article 6.1 has in fact materialized — the BUYER has no right of withdrawal:

  • Web hosting services — by reason of the automatic creation of the account following the order and the instantaneous transmission of the access details,
  • Virtual server (VPS) and VDS services — by reason of the instantaneous installation of the server and its being made accessible,
  • Domain name registration, transfer and renewal transactions — by reason of the registration being realized before the registry instantaneously and in an irreversible manner,
  • SSL certificates, licenses and similar items generated/activated instantaneously before a third-party provider.

7.3. Confirmation at the time of the order. The BUYER, at the order step, expressly confirms by means of a separate confirmation checkbox that these services will be performed instantaneously in the electronic environment, that it requests performance to be commenced forthwith and that, for this reason, there is no right of withdrawal. The order cannot be completed without this confirmation. The confirmation record shall be retained by the SELLER together with a date and time stamp and shall be presented to the BUYER upon request. The information that there is no right of withdrawal is also included in the Preliminary Information Form pursuant to Article 5 of the Regulation.

7.4. Special warning regarding domain names. Domain name registration is completed by the creation of a record in the name of the BUYER before the relevant registry and is technically irreversible; the registration fee is not refunded by the registry and the registrar. For this reason, where the registration has in fact been realized, domain name registration, transfer and renewal fees shall not be refunded. In cases where the registration has not been realized at all, the fee shall be refunded pursuant to Article 6.4. This matter is additionally recalled to the BUYER at the order step.

7.5. Cases in which the right of withdrawal operates and the procedure for its exercise. With respect to services that are not performed instantaneously — in particular, in orders for rented dedicated servers and co-location where the delivery/activation process has not yet commenced — the BUYER may exercise its right of withdrawal within fourteen (14) days as from the date on which the agreement was established, without stating any reason and without paying any penalty clause.

7.5.1. The right of withdrawal shall be exercised by an express notice through any one of the following channels:

  • By opening a support ticket through the Portal,
  • By sending an e-mail to the address support@sunucucenter.com,
  • By completing the sample withdrawal form annexed to the Preliminary Information Form,
  • By sending a written notice by KEP (registered electronic mail) to the address pixoof@hs03.kep.tr or to the office (correspondence and service of notice) address specified in Article 1.1.

7.5.2. It is sufficient that the withdrawal notice has been dispatched within the 14-day period; it is not required that the notice has reached the addressee within this period. The burden of proof lies with the BUYER. The SELLER shall confirm to the BUYER without delay that the withdrawal notice has reached it.

7.5.3. Where the right of withdrawal is exercised in accordance with the procedure, the SELLER shall refund all payments collected within fourteen (14) days as from the date on which the notice reaches it, by the method used by the BUYER at the time of payment and without imposing any cost on the BUYER.

7.5.4. Pursuant to subparagraph (h) of the first paragraph of Article 15 of the Regulation on Distance Contracts, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised in contracts relating to services the performance of which has been commenced with the BUYER’s approval before the expiry of the withdrawal period.

7.6. Merchant BUYERs. The provisions of this article concerning the right of withdrawal shall apply with respect to BUYERs having the status of consumer within the meaning of Law No. 6502 on Consumer Protection. With respect to BUYERs acting for commercial or professional purposes, there is no right of withdrawal and the termination provisions of the Agreement (Article 16) shall apply.

Article 8 — Obligations of the BUYER

9.1.1. The SELLER commits to an availability rate of 99.98% on a calendar-month basis with respect to the accessibility of the service over the network.

The notification shall include the maintenance window, the expected impact and the estimated duration. The notification shall be made a reasonable period before the start of the maintenance window.

10.3. Which service package includes the backup feature, the frequency of the backups and the retention period shall be shown at the order step and in the service description. In packages where no backup feature is stated in the service description, no undertaking is given by the SELLER that a backup will be kept for the benefit of the BUYER.

Detailed information regarding the identity of the data controller, the purposes of processing, the legal grounds, the recipients of transfers, the retention periods and the rights under Article 11 of the KVKK is set out in the KVKK Privacy Notice and the Privacy Policy.

Such transfers shall be carried out in accordance with the tiered regime provided for in Article 9 of the KVKK as amended by Law No. 7499 and in the Regulation on the Procedures and Principles Regarding the Transfer of Personal Data Abroad:

  1. Adequacy decision (KVKK Art. 9/1): Where an adequacy decision has been issued by the Personal Data Protection Board (KVKK Kurulu) in respect of the relevant country, of sectors within that country or of international organisations, the transfer shall be carried out on the basis of that decision. There is currently no adequacy decision in respect of the United States of America.
  2. Appropriate safeguards (KVKK Art. 9/2): As no adequacy decision exists, transfers to be made to the USA shall be carried out where the data controller and the data processors provide one of the following appropriate safeguards: (i) binding corporate rules — within a group of multinational undertakings, subject to the approval of the Board; (ii) the standard contract announced by the Board — provided that this contract is notified to the Personal Data Protection Authority (KVKK Kurumu) by the data controller or the data processor within five business days as from its signature; (iii) a written undertaking to the effect that adequate protection will be provided — subject to obtaining the permission of the Board. The option of an agreement (protocol) between public institutions and organisations or professional organisations having the status of a public institution, provided for in subparagraph (a) of Article 9/2 of the Law, is not applicable in respect of the SELLER, which is a legal entity of private law.
  3. Incidental cases (KVKK Art. 9/6): Where neither an adequacy decision nor any of the appropriate safeguards exists, the transfer may be carried out only on an incidental basis and where one of the cases exhaustively listed in the sixth paragraph of Article 9 of the Law exists (the existence of the explicit consent of the data subject, obtained after informing them of the possible risks of the transfer; the transfer being necessary for the performance of a contract; an overriding public interest; the establishment, exercise or protection of a right; the protection of life or bodily integrity in the case of factual impossibility; transfer from registers open to the public).

13.5. Where it is necessary for BUYER data to be transferred to the U.S. leg between Pixoof Teknoloji A.Ş. and White Label Services, LLC, the transfer shall be carried out by providing one of the appropriate safeguards provided for in Article 9 of the Law and by making the required notifications.

In the services provided by White Label Services, LLC, the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection provided for by the GDPR apply in respect of data subjects resident in the European Union; and the rights to be informed, to erasure, to correction, to opt out of sale/sharing and not to be subject to discrimination under the CCPA/CPRA apply in respect of consumers resident in California. Requests concerning these rights shall be submitted to support@sunucucenter.com.

13.7. Commercial electronic messages. Commercial electronic messages to be sent by the SELLER shall be sent within the framework of Law No. 6563, the Regulation on Commercial Communication and Commercial Electronic Messages and the İYS (Message Management System) rules.

In any event, the BUYER may exercise its right of refusal at any time and free of charge. Notifications relating to the provision of the service, invoices, maintenance and security notices are not in the nature of commercial electronic messages and fall outside the scope of the right of refusal.

14.2. The SELLER shall not be liable for indirect, incidental and consequential damages such as loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of business, loss of reputation, failure to obtain anticipated savings, claims of third parties and the like.

Likewise, these limitations shall not apply in respect of the mandatory provisions laid down in favor of consumers by Law No. 6502 on Consumer Protection and the relevant legislation.

In cases requiring the processing of personal data, this relationship shall be conducted in the capacity of data processor within the scope of Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (KVKK) and shall be based on a written agreement. The use of subcontractors does not eliminate the SELLER’s liability towards the BUYER.

In cases where the BUYER holds the capacity of a consumer within the meaning of Law No. 6502 on Consumer Protection, in disputes arising from this Agreement, application to the consumer arbitration committees is mandatory in respect of disputes falling below the monetary limit determined for the relevant year. Pursuant to Article 68 of the Law, the application shall be made to the consumer arbitration committee located at the place of the consumer’s domicile or at the place where the consumer transaction was carried out. In disputes exceeding the monetary limit, the Consumer Courts have jurisdiction; consumer actions may also be filed before the court at the place where the consumer’s domicile is located. In places where there is no consumer court, such actions are heard by the Civil Courts of First Instance acting in the capacity of consumer courts. Since the monetary limits are re-determined each year, the limits in force at the time of the application shall be taken as the basis.

In cases where the BUYER holds the capacity of a merchant, pursuant to Article 17 of Law No. 6100 on Civil Procedure (Hukuk Muhakemeleri Kanunu), the Courts and Enforcement Offices of İstanbul, being the place where the SELLER’s registered head office is located, shall have jurisdiction over disputes arising from this Agreement. This jurisdiction agreement shall not be effective in respect of BUYERs who are not merchants or public legal entities; in such case, the general rules of jurisdiction shall apply.

19.4. With respect to claims for commercial receivables and indemnity, pursuant to Article 5/A of Law No. 6102, the Turkish Commercial Code (Türk Ticaret Kanunu), having recourse to a mediator in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 6325 on Mediation in Civil Disputes (Hukuk Uyuşmazlıklarında Arabuluculuk Kanunu) before filing an action is a procedural prerequisite of the action. In disputes to be heard before the consumer courts, pursuant to Article 73/A of Law No. 6502, recourse to a mediator is a procedural prerequisite of the action, and the exceptions listed in the same article (disputes falling within the scope of authority of the consumer arbitration committee, objections against decisions of the arbitration committee, requests for preliminary injunction and precautionary attachment, and actions arising from rights in rem over immovable property) are reserved.

19.5. Applicable law. With respect to the services provided by Pixoof Teknoloji A.Ş., Turkish law shall apply to this Agreement.

19.6. U.S. operation. White Label Services, LLC is a limited liability company established in the State of Wyoming.

Pursuant to Article 26 of Law No. 5718 and the mandatory provisions of Law No. 6502, this provision does not eliminate the protection afforded to consumers having their habitual residence in Türkiye, nor the possibility of applying to the Turkish consumer authorities.

19.7. The SELLER shall exercise due care in evaluating the complaints submitted by the BUYER through the Portal and in responding within a reasonable time, with a view to resolving disputes without resorting to judicial remedies.

The updated text shall be notified to the BUYER through its registered e-mail address a reasonable time before the effective date and shall be published on the website. The update may not produce consequences aggravating the position of the BUYER in respect of the subscription period in force; if the BUYER does not accept the change, it may terminate the Agreement as of the end of the period.

20.5. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Agreement does not affect the validity of the other provisions. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that is closest to the purpose of the parties.

20.6. The electronic records, log records and Portal records relating to this Agreement constitute evidence within the meaning of Article 193 of Law No. 6100 on Civil Procedure (Hukuk Muhakemeleri Kanunu). In respect of BUYERs holding the capacity of merchant, these records constitute an evidential agreement (delil sözleşmesi); pursuant to the second paragraph of the said article, they may not be interpreted in a manner that renders the parties’ exercise of their right of proof impossible or extraordinarily difficult. Freedom of evidence is reserved in respect of consumers.
