These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you"), and Kıyanus Ltd. Şti. ("Kıyanus," "we," "us," or "our"), concerning your access to and use of the Kıyanus website as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website or mobile application related, linked, or otherwise connected thereto (collectively, the "Service").
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all of these Terms. Our Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into these Terms. If you do not agree with all of these Terms, then you are expressly prohibited from using the Service and you must discontinue use immediately.
The Service is intended for users who are at least 18 years old or the age of legal majority in their jurisdiction. Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to use or register for the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.
The Service functions as an online marketplace designed to enable users, including property seekers, property owners, and real estate agents, to publish, search for, and find information about real estate properties and real estate professionals. Kıyanus provides a neutral venue or platform for these interactions.
It is critical to understand that Kıyanus is not a real estate broker, agent, or lender. We are not a party to any agreement, contract, or transaction that may arise between users of the Service (e.g., a rental agreement between a tenant and landlord, or a listing agreement between a property owner and a real estate agent). We do not buy, sell, lease, or otherwise transact in real estate. Consequently, we have no control over and do not guarantee the quality, safety, legality, or existence of the properties advertised; the truth or accuracy of the listings or other User Content; the ability of agents to provide services; or the ability of property seekers to complete a transaction. Our role is strictly limited to providing the platform for these connections to occur.
To access and use certain features of the Service, you may be required to register for an account. You agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration form. You also agree to maintain and promptly update your registration data to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account password and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section.
The Service allows users to post, link, store, share, and otherwise make available certain information, text, graphics, videos, or other material ("User Content"). This includes property listings, photos, descriptions, reviews, and profile information. You are solely and entirely responsible for all User Content that you post on the Service.
By making any User Content available through the Service, you hereby grant to Kıyanus a non-exclusive, transferable, worldwide, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, modify (for formatting purposes), create derivative works based upon, distribute, publicly display, and publicly perform your User Content in connection with operating, marketing, and providing the Service to you and to our other users. This license allows us to display your property listing to potential buyers or renters and to promote the platform.
You represent and warrant that: (i) you are either the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content you make available through the Service or you have all rights, licenses, consents, and releases that are necessary to grant to Kıyanus the rights in such User Content, as contemplated under these Terms; and (ii) neither the User Content, your posting, uploading, publication, submission, or transmittal of the User Content, nor Kıyanus's use of the User Content (or any portion thereof) will infringe, misappropriate, or violate a third party's patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral rights, or other proprietary or intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.
