Refund and Cancellation Policy
Last updated: January 10, 2026
This policy is prepared in accordance with Turkish Consumer Protection Law No. 6502 and distance contracts regulations.
1. General Principles
This Refund and Cancellation Policy applies to all software development services, including custom CRM, ERP development, and API integration services ("Services") provided by Tuğrul Yıldırım ("Service Provider", "we", "us", or "our").
All refund and cancellation requests are subject to the terms specified in the individual Project Agreement and Turkish Consumer Protection Law No. 6502.
2. Right of Withdrawal for Distance Contracts
In accordance with Turkish Consumer Protection Law No. 6502, for distance contracts (contracts concluded without the simultaneous physical presence of the parties), consumers have the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
2.1. Exceptions to the Right of Withdrawal
However, the right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- Custom software services: Services that are custom-developed and begin immediately upon agreement, where the service cannot be returned in its original state
- Services fully performed: Services that have been fully performed with the consumer's explicit consent before the withdrawal period expires
- Digital content: Digital content that has been delivered and the consumer has consented to immediate performance
Important: As our services involve custom software development that begins immediately upon agreement, the standard 14-day withdrawal period typically does not apply. This will be clearly stated in each Project Agreement.
3. Cancellation by Client
3.1. Cancellation Before Work Begins
If you cancel the project before work has begun:
