It is a company that provides communication services and offers secure payment services in the shopping made by users with each other through the Portal (www.hemenhepsi.com) it has created on the internet and the communication network it has established among its users. Our company is creating the modern application of a system widely used all over the world with this own working method. Thanks to our devoted work, prejudices against electronic commerce in the world are beginning to disappear and significant contributions are being made to the creation of the necessary secure trading environment in the phase of world’s transformation into an information society.

hemenhepsi.com’s working system is completely based on providing communication between users and ensuring that payments are made securely in the shopping made by users. hemenhepsi.com’s technical infrastructure allows users to sell their own products in their own sections, browse sections belonging to other users and purchase products from other users with their user accounts. Hemenhepsi.com does not sell, market, advertise, import, produce or distribute any products sold by users on the portal located on the www.hemenhepsi.com page. As mentioned above, this portal has only created the necessary technical infrastructure and communication platform for users to shop among themselves. Our company does not provide any content created by users on its own website www.hemenhepsi.com.

For this reason, our company is not a “content provider” within the scope of related Law. Our company is a “hosting provider” within the scope of related Law, which “provides or operates systems that host services and content”. Therefore, as stated in Article 5 of the same Law, it is “not obliged to control the content it hosts or to investigate whether an unlawful activity is involved”.

Article 13 of the Decree Law No. 556 on the Protection of Trademarks titled “Exhaustion of Rights Arising from Trademark Registration” states that “After a registered trademark is placed on a registered good and offered to the market in the world by the trademark owner or with his permission, the acts related to the goods remain outside the scope of the right arising from trademark registration”. Indeed, there is no legal obstacle to the sale of original products that are legally owned.

Due to hemenhepsi.com’s technical infrastructure and operating method, the products and advertisements sold on the site are determined by the users and the site is updated at all times. Our company makes every effort to prevent the sale of illegal and potentially infringing products and to remove the advertisements in line with the site management policy and constantly carries out inspections and checks on the site to detect such products and advertisements; however, as mentioned above, the constant updating of the content of the products and advertisements sold by the users causes the sale of illegal and potentially infringing products and advertisements to be displayed on the site from time to time despite all controls. However, in order to prevent this situation, our company immediately removes access to illegal or potentially infringing products and advertisements offered for sale by the users on the site upon receiving notification from the rights holders regarding the violation of rights in the matter.

As a result of the notifications received from the brand rights holders, within the scope of the detailed investigations immediately carried out, it is determined whether the advertisement(s) of the product(s) offered for sale on our site, which are claimed to constitute a violation, are published or not, and if such content is published, the publication of the advertisements of the relevant products is immediately stopped and these advertisements are deleted. In this way, unfair, inappropriate and unauthorized use of brands and abuse of intellectual property rights in this way are never allowed on hemenhepsi.com.
