See the Turkish original.
At YZ Uzman, customer satisfaction is our priority. This policy explains the cancellation and refund terms that apply to our software, software development, and other digital services. Please read this policy carefully before purchasing a service.
1. Right of Withdrawal vs. Cancellation — An Important Distinction
⚠️ Key Information
Right of Withdrawal and Cancellation are different concepts:
- Right of Withdrawal: A statutory right (14 days) granted by Turkish Law No. 6502, applicable to distance sales.
- Cancellation: A contractual arrangement between the parties, used after the right of withdrawal has ended.
2. Right of Withdrawal (Turkish Law No. 6502 — Statutory Right)
Under Turkish Law No. 6502 on the Protection of Consumers, consumers have the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 (fourteen) days from the contract date, without giving any reason.
2.1. Cases Where the Right of Withdrawal Cannot Be Used (Article 15)
The right of withdrawal CANNOT be used in the following cases:
- Article 15/g: Services whose performance has begun with the consumer's approval
→ Once the Project Brief Form is approved, performance of the service is deemed to have started and the right of withdrawal ENDS. - Article 15/ı: Products prepared specifically for the individual customer
→ Custom-designed websites, software developed specifically for the client - Digital products already delivered and put into use (websites, software, mobile applications)
- Domain name registration: A registered domain name cannot be refunded, per ICANN rules
2.2. Project Brief Form Approval — A Critical Point
⚠️ IMPORTANT: The moment you approve the Project Brief Form:
- ✅ Service performance is deemed to have started (Art. 6502/15-g)
- ❌ Your right of withdrawal ENDS
- 🔐 Domain registration is initiated
- 📋 From this point on, you may only request a "cancellation" (contractual)
3. Cancellation Terms (Contractual — After the Right of Withdrawal Has Ended)
Note: The cancellation terms below apply once the right of withdrawal can no longer be used (i.e., after Project Brief Form approval).
3.1. Cancellation Before Project Start (Domain Not Yet Registered)
If the Project Brief Form has been approved but the domain has not yet been registered:
- 100% refund: The full amount paid is refunded
- Refund period: Within 14 business days of the cancellation request
- Refund method: Via the original payment method (bank account, credit card)
3.2. Cancellation After Domain Registration — IMPORTANT!
🌐 Once the Domain Is Registered:
- The domain cannot be refunded: A registered domain name cannot be cancelled, per ICANN rules
- Solution — domain transfer: The domain is transferred to the customer with full ownership
- Transfer is free: YZ Uzman charges no additional fee for the transfer
- Remaining amount: After deducting the domain cost, a refund is calculated based on the project's completion percentage
3.3. Cancellation While the Project Is In Progress (Domain Registered)
For cancellation requests made after the domain is registered and while the project is in development:
- Domain transfer: The domain is transferred to the customer free of charge (full ownership)
- Design stage (0-30% complete): After deducting the domain cost, 70% of the remaining amount is refunded
- Development stage (30-70% complete): After deducting the domain cost, 40% of the remaining amount is refunded
- Testing/launch stage (70-100% complete): Only the domain transfer is made; no refund
3.4. Cancellation After Project Completion
Once the project has been delivered and accepted by the customer:
- No refund is made
- The right of withdrawal cannot be used (digital content has been delivered)
- Revision requests are evaluated within the scope defined in the project contract
4. Payment Plans and Cancellation
