11. APPS AND SITE AVAILABILITY

We do not guarantee that the Service will always be available, work, or be accessible at any particular time via any app store or marketplace. Only users who are eligible to use our Service may do so. We reserve the right to terminate access for anyone. We cannot guarantee that the Service will work as advertised, or that it will give you the desired results.

12. SUBSCRIPTIONS (FUTURE VERSIONS)

Certain features of the Service are offered on a pre-paid, annual or monthly subscription basis. Each subscription has a one month or one year term which begins on the date you place your order and which automatically renews monthly or annually for additional one month or one year terms (each a “Billing Cycle”) unless your subscription is cancelled or Gurmex terminates your account, or discontinues the subscription services pursuant to these Terms of Service. (Future versions)

By starting your subscription, you agree to pay the subscription fee and any applicable taxes and service fees (the “Subscription Fee”). Terms of payment are within our sole discretion and payment must be received by us before our acceptance of an order. You will be required to pay in advance of each Billing Cycle and must provide a credit card or other payment method acceptable to Gurmex (each a “Payment Method”). By providing a Payment Method for your subscription, you agree Gurmex may bill the Subscription Fee to your Payment Method: (a) at the beginning of your subscription or upon expiration of your free trial period, if any, whichever is earlier; and (b) on each subscription renewal date thereafter unless and until your subscription is cancelled, your account is terminated, or the related services are discontinued pursuant to these Terms of Service. You represent and warrant that (a) the Payment Method information you supply to us is true, correct and complete, (b) you are duly authorized to use such Payment Method for the purchase, (c) charges incurred by you will be honored by your Payment Method company, and (d) you will pay charges incurred by you at the posted prices and all applicable taxes, if any.

The pricing and availability of subscriptions and related services is subject to change at any time prior to payment of your next Billing Cycle. Gurmex will provide you with advance notice of pricing changes, but we will not notify you of changes in applicable taxes. Once notified, renewal of your subscription will be deemed your acceptance of a pricing change. If you do not agree to a pricing change, you must cancel your subscription before the next Billing Cycle.

All subscription sales are final. No refunds are permitted.

You may cancel your subscription, change your payment method, and review your account details at any time by logging on to your account through our website or mobile application. If you cancel your subscription, you will continue to have access to the subscription services through the end of your current Billing Cycle (subject to the other terms herein). No portion of your payment for the current Billing Cycle will be refunded.

Gurmex may cancel your subscription, terminate your account, or discontinue the subscription services at any time and in its sole discretion. If Gurmex does so without cause, it will refund any unused amount of your prepaid Subscription Fee beginning on the effective date of such cancellation, termination, or discontinuance and prorated for the remainder of the applicable Billing Cycle. If Gurmex cancels your subscription, terminates your account, and/or discontinues the subscription services for cause (including your breach of these Terms of Service or your failure to make any payment when due), it will not refund any prepaid or unused portion of any Subscription Fees, and it may refuse to permit you to reactivate any or all of the Services.

Because the Services are offered in multiple time zones, for consistency, a “day” for purposes of these Terms begins at 12:00 a.m. Turkish Time (TRT), UTC +3 and ends at 11:59 p.m. Turkish Time (TRT), UTC +3 of that same calendar day.

13. COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LAWS AND REGULATIONS

Gurmex is not responsible for your violation of any laws while using the Service. Users must comply with all local, state, or federal laws regarding your use of our Service. Our Service is void where prohibited.

14. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Gurmex owns and retains all proprietary rights in the Service, and in all content, trademarks, trade names, service marks and other intellectual property rights related thereto. The Service contains the copyrighted material, trademarks, and other proprietary information of Gurmex and its licensors. You agree to not copy, modify, transmit, create any derivative works from, make use of, or reproduce in any way any copyrighted material, trademarks, trade names, service marks, or other intellectual property or proprietary information accessible through the Service, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Gurmex or, if such property is not owned by Gurmex, the owner of such intellectual property or proprietary rights.

Our Service is offered “as-is”, including any errors, bugs or other technical issues. You agree that while using our Service, your results may vary and you may not achieve any desired results. We expressly disclaim all warranties either express or implied. Our site, app, or service may not be fit for a particular purpose and may not work or be applicable where you reside.

In the event of any problem with any products or services purchased through our Service, you agree that your sole remedy, if any, is through this agreement.

17. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

In no event shall Gurmex, its officers, directors, employees, or agents, be liable to you for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages whatsoever resulting from (i) your use or inability to use the Service due to errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of Service content, (ii) any personal injury or property damage, of any nature whatsoever, resulting from your access to and use of our Service, (iii) any interruption, misinformation, incomplete information, or cessation of transmission to or from our software to you, (iv) any bugs, viruses, trojan horses, or the like, which may be transmitted to or through our site by any third party, (v) any failure of any third party information listed on our site Service, including any failures or disruptions whether intentional or unintentional or (vi) any errors or omissions in our site or service for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of your use of our site or service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory, and whether or not the company is advised of the possibility of such damages. The foregoing limitation of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction.

For Jurisdictions that do not allow us to limit our liability: Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, if your jurisdiction has provisions specific to waiver or liability that conflict with the above then our liability is limited to the smallest extent possible by law. Specifically, in those jurisdictions not allowed, we do not disclaim liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by its negligence or that of any of its officers, employees or agents; or (b) fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any liability which it is not lawful to exclude either now or in the future.

If you are a resident of a jurisdiction that requires a specific statement regarding release then the following applies. For example, California residents must, as a condition of this agreement, waive the applicability of California civil code section 1542, which states, “a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor, you hereby waive this section of the California civil code. You hereby waive any similar provision in law, regulation, or code that has the same intent or effect as the aforementioned release. Your ability to use our software is contingent on your agreement with this and all other sections of this agreement. You agree our total liability to you is not more than ₺100 Turkish Lira or the total amount you spent while using our site, app, and service within the last six months, whichever is greater.

18. INDEMNITY

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Gurmex and its officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from:

your use of and access to the Service;
your violation of any term of these Terms of Service;
your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any intellectual property, property, or privacy right; or
any claim that any of your Content caused damage to a third party.

This defense and indemnification obligation will survive this Agreement and your use of the Service. You also agree that you have a duty to defend us against such claims and we may require you to pay for an attorney(s) of our choice in such cases. You agree that this indemnity extends to requiring you to pay for our reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, and disbursements. In the event of a claim such as one described in this paragraph, we may elect to settle with the party/parties making the claim and you shall be liable for the damages as though we had proceeded with a trial.

19. FREEDOM OF SPEECH

At Gurmex we allow users to create Content which is user-generated and respect the fundamental right to speak freely. However, this is an online community so please be respectful and reasonable while communicating with others. Since third parties independently upload their Content to our Service, we are not liable for any defamatory Content posted on our website if published by a third party. We are a passive service that only hosts Content generated by users; we do not alter or produce any Content submitted. Although we may choose to edit or delete any clearly defamatory or illegal Content, we are not required to, and we reserve all defenses for such speech made available to us by Directive 2000/31/EC or Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, applicable statutes, the common law and any laws within the European Union or the US Constitution.

20. COPYRIGHT NOTICES

25. SEVERABILITY

In the event that a provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, conflicting with another provision of the Agreement, or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it.

If two or more provisions of this Agreement are deemed to conflict with each other’s operation, Gurmex shall have the sole right to elect which provision remains in force.

26. NON-WAIVER

We reserve all rights permitted to us under this Agreement as well as under the provisions of any applicable law. Our non-enforcement of any particular provision or provisions of this Agreement or the any applicable law should not be construed as our waiver of the right to enforce that same provision under the same or different circumstances at any time in the future.

27. TERMINATION AND CANCELLATION

We may terminate or suspend service, your account, or the App without notice, though we will strive to provide a timely explanation in most cases. If you wish to terminate this Agreement, you are solely responsible for following proper termination procedures. Simply delete or destroy the copy of the App that you have downloaded. Cancellation may result in the immediate deletion of any Content that you have submitted to Gurmex. Although, your Content may not be accessible we may keep such Content for a reasonably commercial time for legal and internal purposes. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.
