If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you may not use our services. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time, and your continued use of the website following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.

Acceptance of Terms

By using our website and services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and possess the legal authority to enter into this agreement. You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations when accessing and using our platform. We provide content related to specialty coffee culture, artisan roasters, brewing methods, and café experiences across Turkey. Your use of the site is for lawful purposes only, and you agree not to engage in any conduct that violates these terms or any applicable laws.

We reserve the right to refuse service to any individual or entity for any reason. Our services are provided on an as-is basis, and we make no warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of content presented on our platform. You understand that information about specialty coffee, third-wave café culture, and brewing techniques is provided for educational and informational purposes.

User Obligations and Conduct

As a user of our services, you agree to refrain from engaging in prohibited conduct including but not limited to: attempting to gain unauthorized access to our systems, uploading malware or harmful code, engaging in harassment or abusive behavior, violating intellectual property rights, and spreading false or misleading information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

We expect all users to interact with our platform respectfully and ethically. When discussing specialty coffee experiences, café recommendations, or brewing methods, users must provide accurate information. You agree not to impersonate others, create multiple accounts for deceptive purposes, or engage in any form of fraud. Violation of these obligations may result in immediate termination of your access to our services without notice or compensation.

Intellectual Property Rights

All content on our website, including text, images, graphics, logos, and design elements relating to specialty coffee culture, third-wave cafés, and brewing methodologies, is the intellectual property of our organization or our content partners. This content is protected by copyright laws and international treaties. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or transmit any content without prior written consent from us.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view and use the content solely for personal, non-commercial purposes. Commercial use of any content, including information about single-origin beans, latte art, or café locations in Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir, is strictly prohibited without express authorization. Unauthorized reproduction or distribution of our intellectual property may result in legal action and damages.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use our services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. This includes damages related to loss of data, business interruption, or reliance on information about specialty coffee and café experiences provided through our platform.

Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms shall not exceed the amount you have paid to us, if any. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability, so this provision may not apply to you. We make no guarantees regarding the accuracy of information about artisan roasters, brewing techniques, or café recommendations, and you rely on such information at your own risk.

Termination of Service

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to our services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice.

Upon termination, your right to use the services immediately ceases, and any content associated with your account may be deleted.

You may terminate your use of our services at any time by ceasing to access the website. Termination does not relieve you of obligations incurred prior to termination. Sections regarding intellectual property, limitation of liability, and indemnification shall survive any termination of these terms. We will not be liable for any losses or damages resulting from suspension or termination of your account.
