Last updated: October 5, 2026
These Terms of Use govern access to and use of recepemreercetin.com (the “Site”), operated by Recep Emre Erçetin.
By using Site features, submitting content, creating an account or obtaining a digital resource, you agree to comply with these Terms to the extent they form a valid and enforceable agreement under the law that applies to you.
Nothing in these Terms removes consumer, privacy, accessibility, intellectual-property, contract or other statutory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
1. Purpose of the Site
The Site presents professional information, articles, analysis, portfolio material, technical resources, digital tools and other content related to areas such as digital products, software, artificial intelligence, UX, technology, strategy and growth.
The Site may also provide contact, newsletter, account, support, comment and free digital-download functionality.
Paid online sales and paid recurring subscriptions are not currently offered as an active public Site service.
2. Eligibility and lawful use
You may use the Site only where doing so is lawful for you.
The Site is not designed or directed as a service for children. If a feature requires legal capacity to enter an agreement in your jurisdiction, you must have that capacity or use the feature only with any legally required parent or guardian involvement.
3. Informational nature of content
Site content is provided for general information, education, professional commentary and demonstration of work.
Unless expressly agreed in a separate written engagement, Site content does not create a consultancy, employment, agency, fiduciary, legal, financial or other professional-client relationship.
You are responsible for evaluating whether information is suitable for your circumstances before relying on it.
4. No guaranteed outcome
Technology, product, UX, growth, AI and software decisions depend on context. Examples, benchmarks, opinions, experiments and case material do not guarantee that another person or organisation will achieve the same result.
Any technical tool, code example, prompt, configuration example or workflow should be independently reviewed before use in a live environment.
5. Accounts
Where account functionality is enabled, you must provide accurate information and take reasonable steps to protect your credentials.
You are responsible for activity carried out through your account to the extent that responsibility can lawfully be attributed to you.
I may suspend or restrict an account where reasonably necessary to protect the Site, users or infrastructure, investigate abuse, comply with law or address a material breach of these Terms.
6. Comments and user submissions
If comments or other public submissions are enabled, you must not submit content that is unlawful, threatening, defamatory, harassing, deceptive, infringing, malicious, spam, malware or unrelated automated promotion.
I may moderate, hide, reject, restrict or remove submissions where reasonably necessary for Site quality, safety, legal compliance or abuse prevention.
You remain responsible for content you submit. The limited licence needed to host and display submitted content is described in the Content, Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy.
7. Free digital resources
The Site may provide free e-books, files, guides or similar digital resources through WooCommerce or another delivery system.
Unless a resource contains a separate licence, receiving it for free does not place it in the public domain and does not grant a right to resell, bulk redistribute, scrape, include it in a dataset, or use it for AI model training or fine-tuning where permission is required.
A free resource may be changed or withdrawn in the future without creating an obligation to maintain indefinite availability, subject to mandatory rights that apply.
8. Acceptable use
You may not use the Site in a way that:
- violates applicable law;
- infringes intellectual-property, privacy, confidentiality or other rights;
- attempts unauthorised access to systems, accounts, storage or non-public interfaces;
- introduces malware or harmful code;
- performs abusive automated requests, credential attacks or denial-of-service activity;
- circumvents security, authentication, rate-limiting, bot-management or access controls;
- systematically scrapes or extracts content for a use requiring permission under the Site’s intellectual-property rules;
- creates or enriches a dataset from substantial Site content for a restricted purpose without permission;
- uses protected Site content for AI model training or fine-tuning where permission is required;
- impersonates another person or falsely implies affiliation with me;
- interferes with normal Site operation or security.
Nothing in these Terms grants permission to conduct penetration testing or vulnerability scanning. See the User Security Policy.
9. Intellectual property and AI-related use
Site content, branding and original materials are protected as described in the Content, Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy.
No licence is granted merely because content is publicly accessible.
The Site’s restrictions on scraping, datasets and AI training operate subject to applicable statutory exceptions, including rights such as fair use or fair dealing where those rights actually apply and cannot lawfully be excluded.
10. Privacy and cookies
Personal-data processing is described in the Privacy Notice, Privacy Policy, Contact Form Privacy Notice and Cookie Policy.
User personal data submitted through ordinary Site functions is not intentionally sent to external AI services for routine prompt processing, model training or profiling as part of ordinary Site operation.
Where an applicable U.S. state privacy law provides an opt-out right concerning sale, sharing, targeted advertising or qualifying profiling, that right will be handled as required by the law that applies. Where legally required, valid Global Privacy Control or another recognised universal opt-out signal must be honoured within its legal scope.
11. Newsletter and electronic communications
If newsletter or marketing functionality is enabled, marketing communications must be sent in accordance with the law that applies to the recipient and the communication.
Where UK PECR requires consent, marketing must not be sent without a valid consent or another legally available route such as a qualifying soft opt-in.
Where U.S. commercial-email rules apply, required sender information, advertising identification where applicable, a functioning opt-out method and timely honouring of unsubscribe requests must be maintained.
Transactional or relationship communications may be treated differently from marketing under applicable law.
12. Third-party services and links
The Site may link to or embed third-party services. I do not control their independent content, availability, security, terms or privacy practices merely because a link or embed appears on the Site.
Use of a third-party service may be governed by that provider’s own terms and privacy notice.
13. Security
You must comply with the User Security Policy.
You must not access another user’s data or non-public Site systems without authorisation, even if a technical weakness appears to make access possible.
Security concerns should be reported to [email protected].
14. Paid sales, recurring subscriptions and future commerce
Paid public checkout and paid recurring subscriptions are not currently active Site services.
If paid products, memberships or subscriptions are introduced, the legal and checkout framework must be reviewed before launch for the jurisdictions actually targeted. That review may include price and renewal disclosures, cancellation methods, cooling-off rights, digital-content rules, automatic-renewal laws, refund rules, tax, payment processing and consumer notices.
For UK consumers, the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 contains a subscription-contract regime, but as of this update its core subscription-contract provisions remain prospective and are not treated by these Terms as if already fully in force. The law actually in force on the launch date must be checked before any UK paid subscription is offered.
For U.S. consumers, automatic-renewal and subscription rules vary by federal and state law and must likewise be reviewed at launch rather than assumed from this 2026 text.
15. Availability and changes
I may update, reorganise, remove or discontinue Site content or features for legitimate operational, security, legal or editorial reasons.
These Terms may also be updated. Material changes will be reflected by revising the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, by providing additional notice.
16. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, free informational Site content and free Site functionality are provided on an “as available” basis. I do not promise that every page, tool, download, external service or feature will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, secure or suitable for every purpose.
Nothing in this section excludes warranties, guarantees or remedies that applicable consumer law makes mandatory.
Some U.S. states do not permit particular exclusions of implied warranties, so an exclusion applies only to the extent permitted in the relevant jurisdiction.
17. Liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
In particular, where UK law applies, nothing is intended to exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or another liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Subject to those rules and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, I am not responsible for indirect or consequential loss arising solely from ordinary use of free informational Site content, third-party services outside my control, or a user’s failure to apply reasonable security, backup or professional-review practices.
Some jurisdictions, including some U.S. states, limit exclusions of incidental, consequential or other damages. Any limitation in these Terms therefore applies only to the extent legally permitted.
18. Consumer rights in the UK and United States
If you are a UK consumer, these Terms must be read subject to mandatory UK consumer-protection law, including requirements that consumer terms be fair and transparent. A term that cannot lawfully bind a consumer will not be relied on to the prohibited extent.
If an applicable U.S. federal or state law gives you non-waivable privacy, consumer, accessibility or other rights, nothing in these Terms requires you to waive those rights.
No privacy right is conditioned on agreeing to waive a statutory right that applicable law makes non-waivable.
19. Restriction or termination of access
I may restrict access to a Site feature where reasonably necessary to address abuse, security risk, infringement, unlawful activity, operational risk or a material breach of these Terms.
Where a restriction affects a legally protected right or contractual entitlement, mandatory law prevails.
20. Governing law and mandatory local rights
Because the Site is operated by an individual based in Türkiye, these Terms are intended to operate within the legal framework applicable to the Site operator, including the laws of the Republic of Türkiye where relevant.
However, if you are a consumer or another person protected by mandatory laws in your place of residence, nothing in these Terms is intended to deprive you of protections, remedies or jurisdictional rights that cannot lawfully be excluded by contract.
Any dispute should first be raised through [email protected] so that the issue can be reviewed. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, jurisdiction is determined by the mandatory rules and conflict-of-law principles that apply to the particular dispute.
21. Severability and no waiver
If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective to the extent permitted by law. The affected provision should be interpreted, where possible, as closely as lawfully possible to its intended purpose.
Failure to enforce a provision immediately does not waive the right to enforce it later.
