This Terms of Use Agreement (the “Agreement”) is concluded between the User and Türk Hava Yolları A.O. (“THY”), having its registered office at Türk Hava Yolları A.O. Genel Yönetim Binası, Yeşilköy Mahallesi, Havaalanı Caddesi, No.3/1, 34149, Bakırköy/İstanbul, with registered electronic mail (KEP) address [email protected], e-mail address [email protected], telephone number +90 212 4636363 and MERSIS number 0876004746400017, for the purpose of governing the principles and conditions relating to the use of the Platform and the rights and obligations of the parties.


THY and the User shall hereinafter be referred to jointly as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”.


Article 1 - Definitions


User: Means each natural person who uses the Platform within the conditions set out in this Agreement. The term User covers the Visitor, the Guest Buyer and the Member.

Visitor: Means the user who accesses the Platform and views the product catalogue without becoming a member and without placing an order.

Guest Buyer: Means the user who places an order without becoming a member of the Platform (guest shopping).

Member: Means the user who becomes a member of the Platform by approving the Membership Agreement.

Seller: Means the legal entities which offer THY's licensed products for sale on the Platform under the agreement they have concluded with THY.

Platform: Means the website named “Turkish Airlines Official Store” belonging to THY, through which Users may benefit from the Platform Services.

Platform Services: Means the various products and/or services made available, or to be made available in the future, to Users on the Platform by the Sellers.


Article 2 - Subject Matter, Purpose and Scope of the Agreement


2.1 This Agreement governs the principles and conditions relating to the use of the Platform and, as regards Visitors and Guest Buyers, constitutes the sole basis for the use of the Platform. As regards Members, this Agreement applies together with the Membership Agreement; in the event of any conflict between the two texts, the provisions of the Membership Agreement shall prevail in matters relating to the membership relationship. Orders placed through the Platform are subject to the provisions of the Distance Sales Agreement and the Preliminary Information Form.

2.2 THY is not the seller or the supplier of, nor the party responsible for the performance of, the products and services made available or to be made available to Users on the Platform. The legal relationship between the User and the Seller falls outside the scope of this Agreement and THY is not a party to that relationship. THY bears no liability whatsoever in respect of claims arising out of the legal relationship between the User and the Seller or relating to defects, deficiencies or improper performance, delivery, returns, warranty, after-sales services and similar matters concerning the Seller's products and services.

2.3 The User acknowledges, declares and undertakes that THY gives no warranty or undertaking in respect of the contract to be concluded between the Seller and the User, and that THY is not liable for any damage that may arise in that context.

2.4 Use of the Platform is free of charge; this Agreement enters into force upon its approval by the User in the electronic environment, whereupon all of its provisions are deemed to have been accepted by the parties. It continues for an indefinite term until terminated by one of the parties in accordance with its provisions.


Article 3 - Conditions of Use


3.1 In order to use the Platform, it is required to:

have completed 18 (eighteen) years of age and have legal capacity to act under the relevant legislation;

accept the provisions of this Agreement.

3.2 Where the User places an order, the User is responsible for the accuracy, currency and accessibility of the contact details and other personal data provided. The security of the contact details, such as the e-mail address and telephone number, provided when placing the order is likewise the responsibility of the User. THY cannot be held liable for any delay or damage arising from the User's failure to declare completely and accurately the information requested, such as name, surname, address, e-mail and telephone, which is required for the order and the invoice to be issued and for delivery to be effected.

3.3 The scope of the information required in order to use the Platform is determined by THY and may, where necessary and at THY's discretion, be amended or extended. Any person who does not wish to provide such information may not use the Platform. In order for use of the Platform to continue, the person must provide the information included in the extended list of information and update their information in the event of any change.


Article 4 - Placing Orders Without Membership


4.1 The User may also place an order without becoming a member of the Platform. In guest shopping, only the information necessary for the creation of the order, the issuance of the invoice, the collection of payment and the effecting of delivery is requested from the User.

4.2 The Membership Agreement does not apply to guest shopping. The Distance Sales Agreement and the Preliminary Information Form apply to the order relationship, and this Agreement applies to the use of the Platform.

4.3 Since the Guest Buyer has no membership account, a copy of the approved Preliminary Information Form and of the Distance Sales Agreement is sent, following order confirmation, on a durable medium to the e-mail address notified by the Guest Buyer. Order tracking, returns and withdrawal transactions are carried out using the order number and that e-mail address.

4.4 The Guest Buyer benefits from the rights arising from consumer legislation in the same manner as Members. However, the Guest Buyer may not benefit from services offered in connection with membership, such as past order records, personalised content and recommendations.

4.5 Personal data shared within the scope of guest shopping is processed in accordance with the principles set out in the Turkish Airlines Official Store Data Protection Notice.

5.4. The User acknowledges, declares and undertakes that all liability for the consequences of the choices made during purchases and the related payment transactions carried out through the Platform rests with the User. The collection of online payments made instantly by the User with a debit card, credit card or similar payment instrument in order to purchase goods and/or services through the Platform shall be effected by the Seller.

6.1 The User agrees to act in compliance with the Platform rules, the applicable legislation and the provisions of this Agreement when using the Platform.

- to provide accurate information where an order is placed;

- to ensure that the content uploaded to the Platform (comments, photographs, etc.) is lawful.


6.3 Where THY is held liable towards third parties or faces an administrative sanction as a result of the User's conduct in breach of this Agreement and of the applicable legislation, THY reserves the right of recourse against the relevant User for such damages together with their ancillary elements.

6.4 The User acknowledges, declares and undertakes that THY is not a party to the preliminary information form, the distance sales agreement or any other document to be concluded with the Seller, or to any dispute arising out of such documents; that the sole addressee of any claim relating to the preliminary information form, the distance sales agreement and/or the product or service subject to the sale shall be the Seller; and that THY bears no legal or contractual liability in respect of such claims.

6.5 The User acknowledges, declares and undertakes that THY has no undertaking, transactional commitment or obligation whatsoever, under any legislation including but not limited to the Law on Consumer Protection, in the capacity of seller, supplier, manufacturer, producer, dealer, agent, advertiser, media organisation or under any other designation whatsoever. THY has no knowledge of, and bears no liability for, the products/services purchased through the Platform, including but not limited to the purchase of the products or services offered through the Platform by the User, whether or not the product is defective, the product not being sent in the desired quantity or in the desired manner, damage to the product packaging, problems arising during the transport of the product, improper performance of the service, any transaction relating to the return or exchange of the product, whether or not the product falls within a prohibited category or is contraband, and the nature and quality of the product. This provision does not eliminate the cases of liability arising from mandatory legislation or the obligations of the intermediary service provider under the Regulation on Distance Contracts (Mesafeli Sözleşmeler Yönetmeliği).

6.6 The User acknowledges, declares and undertakes that, without prejudice to the cases of liability arising from mandatory legislation, THY bears no liability whatsoever for any inability to access the Platform or to use the Platform, including as a result of technical failures, and that the User shall raise no claim against THY in that respect.

6.7 The Platform may contain links, advertisements or announcements relating to other websites or applications which are not under THY's control and which have not been established, are not operated and are not regulated by THY; it may contain references to such websites or applications. THY is not responsible for the content of such other applications or websites, for any other links, advertisements, announcements and/or references contained therein, or for the products/services they offer. Such links do not constitute an endorsement of the owner of the linked website or of the person operating that site, nor any declaration or undertaking as to any information, statement or image contained therein. Likewise, THY is not responsible for the products, services and other content promoted or undertaken by the advertisements, promotions or banners featured on the Platform or linked through the Platform.


Article 7 - Processing of Personal Data


7.1 THY may use the user information necessary for the operation of the Platform within the scope of the Agreement and may share it with the third parties and relevant organisations set out in the Turkish Airlines Official Store Data Protection Notice (the “Notice”) for the purpose of carrying out the activities within the scope of the Agreement.

7.2 The User's personal data is processed by THY within the scope of Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data (Kişisel Verilerin Korunması Kanunu) and the relevant legislation. The procedures and principles relating to the processing and transfer of personal data are set out in the Notice and in the Cookie Policy available at store.turkishairlines.com.

The User may terminate the Agreement within that period; where use is terminated, the amendment does not take effect in respect of the User.
