1. Nature of the Content on This Site
knowurTouR (the “Site”) is an informational resource that answers, in general terms, common questions about Turkish tourism, accommodation, and consumer legislation.
The content on this Site is for general information purposes only and does not constitute legal advice, legal services, or a legal opinion of any kind.
Nothing here is an assessment of any specific incident, contract, or dispute. Every legal situation must be evaluated on its own facts, contractual terms, and evidence. Always consult a lawyer or a qualified professional before taking any legal step based on information found on this Site.
2. No Attorney-Client Relationship
Visiting the Site, reading its content, or submitting the contact form does not create an attorney-client relationship, a mandate, or any advisory agreement between the Site owner and the visitor.
Messages sent through the contact form are not treated as requests for legal representation, and there is no undertaking that they will be answered with legal advice. Your message may go unanswered or may receive only general information.
Important: Do not send confidential, sensitive, or privileged information through the contact form. These messages are not covered by attorney-client privilege. Also note that limitation periods and forfeiture deadlines continue to run — sending a message to this Site does not suspend or interrupt any deadline.
3. Currency and Accuracy
Content is prepared on the basis of the legislation in force at the time of writing. However:
- Laws, regulations, communiqués, and administrative practice may change.
- Court decisions and Consumer Arbitration Committee (Tüketici Hakem Heyeti) practice may vary; similar cases can produce different outcomes.
- Monetary thresholds, application deadlines, and amounts are updated annually.
The Site owner makes no undertaking that the content is current, complete, or free of error at any given moment. Before making a decision, we recommend checking the current text of the relevant legislation (mevzuat.gov.tr) and the statements of the competent authorities.
4. Limitation of Liability
The Site owner cannot be held liable for any direct or indirect loss arising from the use of, or inability to use, the information on this Site. Responsibility for any decision taken or action based on this information rests entirely with the user.
The Site is provided “as is.” No express or implied warranty is given that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of security vulnerabilities.
5. Third-Party Links and Sponsored Content
The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We have no control over the content, privacy practices, or services of those sites and accept no responsibility for them.
The Site may include areas marked “Reklam” / “Sponsored.” Links in these areas may be affiliate links: if you click one and purchase a service, the Site owner may earn a commission. This costs you nothing extra. Appearing in an advertising slot does not mean the service or provider has been vetted, endorsed, or recommended by the Site owner. Any legal relationship you enter into with a third party is solely between you and that party.
