These terms apply to the website at caseworkip.com and its forms. By using the site you accept them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. The site is published by [Registered title: confirm], described in the legal notice. “We” and “us” mean that organisation.

Using this website

You may read, print and share pages from this website for your own information, with the source stated. You may not copy substantial parts of it for publication, build a database from it, scrape it with automated tools, or use it in a way that interferes with its operation or with other users. The content is protected as described in the legal notice.

No client relationship from contacting us

Sending us a message, a report or a newsletter request does not make you a client and does not create an engagement. It does not oblige us to act, to reply, or to keep information confidential beyond what the law and our privacy notices require. An engagement begins only when we have agreed its scope in writing [confirm: and, on the law-firm route, when a power of attorney and an engagement letter have been signed]. Until then, please do not send us confidential documents or information that you need us to treat as privileged. Nothing on this site is a quotation or an offer of services on fixed terms.

Accuracy of information

The information on this site is general and is provided as it is. We take care to keep it correct and current, but we do not promise that it is complete, accurate or up to date. It is not legal advice; see the legal notice. Figures are reproduced from the sources stated. We may change or remove content at any time without notice.

We link to laws, official bodies, publications, marketplaces and other sites we do not control. A link is not an endorsement, and we are not responsible for the content, availability or privacy practices of those sites. You may link to our site if the link is not misleading and does not suggest an association that does not exist. Framing our pages inside another site is not allowed.

Content you send us

When you submit the contact form or the report-a-counterfeit form, you confirm that:

  • the information you give is true to the best of your knowledge and is not sent to harass or defame anyone;
  • you are entitled to share it, and any photo you upload was taken by you, or you have the right to use it and to let us use it;
  • you understand that reports and photos may be shown to the brand owner concerned and used in enforcement action, including before customs, prosecutors, courts and marketplaces, as the privacy notices explain; and
  • you will not upload files that contain malicious code or unlawful content.

You keep the rights in what you send. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to store, copy, reproduce and pass on your submission for the purposes described in the privacy notices, for as long as those purposes require. This includes passing it on to brand owners, authorities and courts [confirm]. We may decline to act on any submission, and we may remove or refuse files. Reports may be made anonymously. If you give your contact details, we may use them to ask you for clarification.

Spam protection and availability

We may use Cloudflare Turnstile or similar tools to block automated submissions [confirm], and we may refuse submissions that appear to be automated or abusive. We do not promise that the site or its forms will be available at all times. We may suspend the site for maintenance or for security reasons. If a form does not work, you can reach us at the email address in the legal notice.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided free of charge, for information. To the extent Turkish law permits, we are not liable for loss or damage caused by our slight negligence. This covers loss arising from the use of this site or reliance on its content, from the site being unavailable, from links to other websites, or from malicious code reaching your device through it. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for intent or gross negligence, which under Article 115 of the Turkish Code of Obligations No. 6098 cannot be excluded in advance. Nor do they exclude or limit any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory law, including the rules protecting consumers under the Law on Consumer Protection No. 6502. [confirm: on the law-firm route, note that TBK Article 115(3) also prevents excluding liability for slight negligence in a profession practised under licence; the clause above is limited accordingly.]

Personal data

How we process personal data collected through this site is explained in the privacy notices and the cookie policy, which form part of these terms.

Notices about unlawful content

If you believe that content on this site infringes your rights, including under Law No. 5651 or intellectual property law, write to us at the address in the legal notice. Give the page address, the right concerned and your contact details. We review such notices promptly.

Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms, and any dispute arising from the use of this site, are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. The Istanbul (Çağlayan) Courts and Enforcement Offices have jurisdiction [confirm]. This is without prejudice to the mandatory jurisdiction of the consumer arbitration committees and consumer courts for users who are consumers, and to the exclusive jurisdiction rules of the Code of Civil Procedure No. 6100.

Changes to these terms

We may change these terms when the site or the law changes. The current version is always published on this page with the date at the top, and changes apply from that date to use of the site after it. Changes that would affect what you have already sent us through the forms do not apply to it without your agreement. If a provision of these terms is found invalid, the remaining provisions stay in force.

Language

These terms are published in English and Turkish. The two versions are intended to say the same. In case of a difference, the Turkish version prevails [confirm].
