ARTICLE 2 SUBJECT

The subject of this Distance Sales Agreement (“Agreement”) is to determine the rights and obligations of the parties regarding the sale and delivery of the product, which the Buyer has purchased by placing an electronic order from the Seller's [●] website (“Website”), having the qualifications written on the website and for which the sales price is specified.

This Agreement has been prepared in accordance with the Law on Consumer Protection No. 6502 (“Law”) and the Regulation on Distance Contracts (“Regulation”). The parties of this Agreement hereby agree and declare that they are aware of and understand their obligations and responsibilities that will arise from the Law and Regulation.

The Buyer hereby accepts and declare that they have been informed about the basic characteristics of the product subject to the above-mentioned sale, the sales price, number, payment method, delivery conditions and all the information about the product subject to the sale, as well as the cancellation and return conditions, that they have confirmed this information on their own will electronically and that they have purchased the item/s by placing an order.

The preliminary information form and proforma invoice on the payment page of the Website, as well as the Terms of Use and Privacy Statement, are annexes and inseparable parts of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3 – DESCRIPTION OF TELKARI PATTERNS

Telkari is a traditional handicraft with a history of thousands of years. The craftsmen who do this work have created their own styles by using traditional patterns for centuries.

Telkari patterns are usually inspired by nature and the environment. These patterns may contain symbols and signs related to the region's culture and history.

The patterns used in the decoration of buildings in historically and culturally rich regions such as Mardin also often contain symbols and signs related to the region's culture and history.

Therefore, the patterns seen in our jewelry and those seen in the buildings of Mardin may be similar. However, the reason for these similarities is that the patterns are inspired by nature and the environment and contain symbols and signs related to the region's culture.

Therefore, there is no copyright infringement between the patterns used in our jewelry and those seen in the buildings of Mardin.

The parties have agreed on the use of telkari patterns with this agreement and accept that there will be no copyright infringement.

ARTICLE 4 – DELIVERY METHOD

This Agreement has entered into force with the Buyer’s approval in the electronic environment and is executed when the products purchased by the Buyer from the Seller are delivered to the Buyer. The products subject to the order will be delivered to the address specified in the order form and to the specified authorized person(s) by the Buyer.

ARTICLE 5 - DELIVERY COSTS AND PERFORMANCE

Delivery of the goods is made in the committed time depending on the Seller’s stock availability and after the payment is executed. The Seller delivers the products within 7-15 working days at the latest from the order of the products by the Buyer placed not contradicting with the circumstances (including force majeure) in which case the delivery of the products subject to the order may become impossible. In case the “estimated delivery date” is stated for the products ordered on the website, the Buyer accepts that the delivery date in question is an estimation and hence this statement does not put the Seller under any commitment.

If, for any reason, the Buyer does not pay for the products or the payment is cancelled in the bank records, the Seller is considered to be relieved of its obligations to deliver the products.

The shipping costs for deliveries within the country will be borne by the Seller. For deliveries outside the country, the shipping costs will be borne by the Buyer.

The Buyer is responsible for the shipping costs of any order cancellations made by the Buyer after the Seller ships the product but before it is received by the Buyer.

If the specified authorized person(s) is not available at the address specified by the Buyer at the time of delivery, the Seller shall be considered to have fulfilled its act of delivery in full. In case there is no one to receive the ordered Product (s) at the address, it will be the Buyer’s responsibility to contact the cargo company and follow up on the delivery of the Product (s). In case the Product (s) is to be delivered to a person/entity other than the Buyer, the Seller cannot be held responsible in the cases that the person/entity to be delivered is not present at the address or not accepting the delivery. In these cases, any damages arising from the late receipt of the Product by the Buyer and the expenses incurred because the Product has been awaited in the cargo company and/or the return of the cargo to the Seller shall be covered by the Buyer.
