Terms of Service (outline)
Sections the terms need
Section titled “Sections the terms need”| # | Section | What we know / decisions needed |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Who we are | TODO: legal name, MERSİS no., registered address, contact email |
| 2 | Acceptance | Creating an account means accepting the terms; minimum age TODO |
| 3 | Accounts | One person per account; keep the password secret; we may require email verification |
| 4 | The service | Information and statistics for analysis; available “as is”; features differ by plan |
| 5 | Not investment advice | Critical. Data and reports are information, not advice or recommendations. Wording must fit the licensing position in Regulatory Posture — if Demostatics later offers licensed advisory services, those are governed by separate agreements |
| 6 | Acceptable use | No scraping beyond the API, no reselling data, no attacks, no circumventing limits; forum content must follow the Forum Rules |
| 7 | Your content | Users keep rights to what they post and grant Demostatics a licence to display it; we may remove content that breaks the rules |
| 8 | Our content and data | Licence to use data for TODO: internal / commercial purposes; redistribution rules; third-party source attribution (e.g. OpenStreetMap ODbL) |
| 9 | API and apps | API keys are personal to the partner; the open-source desktop app is under Apache-2.0, but access to Demostatics servers is governed by these terms |
| 10 | Plans, payment, cancellation | Refer to the Distance Sales Contract and Billing |
| 11 | Suspension and termination | Bans for rule violations (moderation exists today); what happens to paid plans when banned |
| 12 | Availability | No guaranteed uptime except in enterprise agreements |
| 13 | Liability | Limits of liability, especially for decisions made using the data — counsel to draft within Turkish consumer-law limits |
| 14 | Privacy | Refer to the Privacy Policy |
| 15 | Changes to the terms | How users are notified (email + notice), notice period TODO |
| 16 | Law and disputes | Turkish law; Istanbul courts; consumers’ rights to consumer arbitration committees (Tüketici Hakem Heyetleri) and consumer courts cannot be excluded |
