5. License to use the Service
Subject to this Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial professional learning, in accordance with course access rules we establish (for example, enrollment and completion requirements). You may not sublicense, sell, rent, scrape, reverse engineer, or attempt to extract underlying software or data except as expressly permitted by law.
6. Content and intellectual property
Course materials, videos, text, graphics, branding, software, and other content made available through the Service are owned by DrVoice Academy, its instructors, licensors, or other third parties and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, distribute, publicly perform, modify, create derivative works from, or exploit such content outside the normal use of the Service without prior written permission, except for insubstantial personal notes for your own learning.
7. Not medical advice; educational purpose only; assumption of risk
Content on the Service is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment under the laws of the Republic of Turkey or any other jurisdiction, and it is not a substitute for independent clinical judgment or consultation with qualified professionals. You assume sole and exclusive responsibility and risk for any use of the Service or course content in clinical, academic, commercial, or other professional settings. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release DrVoice Academy, its instructors, licensors, and personnel from any claims arising from such use or from reliance on any materials on the Service.

You agree not to: (a) harass, defame, or harm others; (b) upload malware or attempt to disrupt the Service; (c) misrepresent your identity or qualifications; (d) collect personal data about other users without authorization; (e) use the Service in violation of applicable law; or (f) share login credentials or access tokens with third parties. We may remove content or restrict features that violate these rules.
9. User content
If you submit comments, questions, uploads, or other materials (“User Content”), you represent that you have the rights to do so and you grant DrVoice Academy a non-exclusive license to host, display, and use that content as reasonably necessary to operate and improve the Service, subject to our Privacy Policy. You remain responsible for the legality and accuracy of your User Content.
10. Changes to the Service and this Agreement
We may modify the Service or this Agreement. We will post updated terms on the Service and, where appropriate, notify you by email or on-screen notice. Continued use after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and may request account closure as described in our Privacy Policy.
11. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access for breach of this Agreement, legal requirements, or operational reasons. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitations of liability) will survive termination.
12. Disclaimers of warranty (Turkish law and general)
Without prejudice to non-waivable rights under mandatory provisions of the laws of the Republic of Turkey (including the Turkish Code of Obligations, Law No. 6102, “TBK,” and where applicable the Law on the Protection of Consumers, Law No. 6502), the Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, DrVoice Academy disclaims all warranties and representations, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, quality, availability, security, and non-infringement. DrVoice Academy does not warrant that the Service or any content will meet your requirements, be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected.
13. Exclusion and limitation of liability (Republic of Turkey)
13.1 Scope. This Section 13 governs the liability of DrVoice Academy, its affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, contractors, instructors, licensors, and agents (collectively, “DrVoice Parties”) and applies to the maximum extent permitted by the laws of the Republic of Turkey, including TBK and other applicable statutes.
13.2 Exclusion of categories of damage. To the fullest extent not prohibited by mandatory law, DrVoice Parties shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; loss of profit, revenue, business, contract, opportunity, or goodwill; loss or corruption of data; cost of substitute services; personal injury or non-pecuniary harm; or any damages arising from use or inability to use the Service, delay, interruption, suspension, termination, security incident, error, omission, inaccuracy of content, or third-party conduct—whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, and even if DrVoice Academy was advised of the possibility of such damages.
13.3 Aggregate cap; contractual limitation. To the fullest extent permitted by Turkish law, the total aggregate liability of DrVoice Parties for any and all claims of any kind arising out of or relating to the Service or this Agreement shall be limited to zero Turkish Lira (TRY 0). Where a court or arbitral tribunal determines that a complete exclusion or zero cap is not permitted for a particular claim, DrVoice Parties’ liability shall be limited to the minimum extent required by that mandatory rule and, where a monetary cap is still permitted, shall not exceed the greater of (a) fees you actually paid to DrVoice Academy for the Service in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred Turkish Lira (TRY 100).
13.4 Allocation of risk. The limitations in this Section 13 are a fundamental part of the bargain: you acknowledge that DrVoice Academy provides access to the Service in reliance on these limitations and that, without them, DrVoice Academy would not offer the Service on the same terms.
13.5 Mandatory provisions. Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability where Turkish law (or other applicable mandatory law) does not allow such exclusion or limitation—for example, in cases of intentional wrongdoing (kast) or gross fault (ağır kusur) where non-waivable, or where you are a consumer within the meaning of Law No. 6502 and a term would be invalid under consumer-protection rules. In such cases, DrVoice Parties’ liability is limited to the extent required by that mandatory provision only.
14. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the Republic of Turkey, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the DrVoice Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs in Turkey or elsewhere) arising out of or relating to: (a) your User Content; (b) your use or misuse of the Service; (c) your violation of this Agreement or applicable law; (d) your reliance on or application of course content in any professional or clinical context; or (e) disputes between you and any third party in connection with the Service. DrVoice Academy may assume exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification, at your expense, and you agree to cooperate reasonably.
15. Privacy
Our collection and use of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
16. General
If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect to the maximum extent permitted, and the invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to reflect the parties’ intent. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and DrVoice Academy regarding the Service and supersedes prior oral or written understandings on this subject. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign this Agreement without our consent; we may assign it in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of assets. Time limits for bringing claims may be subject to statutes of limitation under Turkish law.
17. Governing law and exclusive jurisdiction (Turkey)
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Turkey, without regard to conflict-of-law principles that would refer to the laws of another state or country.
Subject to non-waivable rules (including, where you are a consumer under Law No. 6502, mandatory jurisdiction or arbitration rules that apply to consumer disputes), you irrevocably agree that the courts and execution offices of Istanbul, Republic of Turkey (İstanbul Mahkemeleri ve İcra Daireleri) shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, claim, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Service, and you waive any objection to venue in those courts.
