Legal
Terms of use
These terms apply when you use the Mavi Valiz mobile app. They are an English translation of the Turkish text you accept in the app; if the two differ, the Turkish text prevails.
1Parties and Scope of the Service
These terms are between you and MAVI VALIZ APP I.K.E. (international name: MAVI VALIZ APP P.C.; registered office: Pylis 48, 18534 Piraeus, Greece; Γ.Ε.ΜΗ. no.: 196558309000; tax no. / AFM: 803420340).
Mavi Valiz is a global community app in which members can publish marketplace listings, job listings and forum topics, discover businesses in cities around the world that serve customers in Turkish, and message each other. The app can be downloaded and used from any country, including Türkiye; business listings, however, can only be created for countries on the list of countries we serve, and Türkiye is not on that list.
2Age Limit
You must be at least 16 years old to create an account, and you must state your date of birth accurately at sign-up. Accounts found to belong to someone under 16 are closed and their data deleted.
3Membership and Account Security
By creating an account you are deemed to accept these terms and the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide; each person may open only one account. Keeping your password secret and responsibility for actions taken from your account are yours. If you notice unauthorised use of your account, tell us immediately.
4Prohibited Content
Content that is illegal, fake, misleading, defamatory, infringes copyright, contains hatred or discrimination, encourages violence or disturbs public peace may not be published. Spam, mass promotion and impersonating another person are likewise prohibited. Breaking the rules may lead to content being removed and the account being suspended.
5Responsibility for Listings, Messages and Transactions
All published listings and sent messages are the responsibility of the member. Mavi Valiz acts as an intermediary: it is not a party to purchases and sales, job interviews or other agreements between members, does not take payments and does not guarantee the quality of the goods or services listed. The member who publishes content bears the legal responsibility arising from it.
6Content Removal and Appeals
When we remove content or an account for breaking the rules, we tell you why. If you think the decision was wrong, you can appeal by writing to gdpr@mavivaliz.com; appeals are handled within a reasonable time and assessed by a person, not automatically. This does not remove any other remedies available to you by law.
7Continuity of the Service
The service is provided “as is”. There may be interruptions due to maintenance, technical faults or infrastructure providers. Uninterrupted access is not guaranteed; however, this does not limit our liability in cases where we are liable by law.
8Account Termination and Data Deletion
Accounts that seriously breach these terms may be closed. You can permanently delete your own account at any time under Ayarlar > Hesabımı Sil (Settings > Delete my account) (Art. 17 GDPR / Art. 7 KVKK). Deletion cannot be undone.
9Personal Data
Your personal data is processed under a separate Privacy Policy and Information Notice, which explains in detail which data is collected, who it is shared with, how long it is kept and your rights.
10Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These terms are governed by Greek law and the courts of Piraeus have jurisdiction over disputes. If you act as a consumer, this clause does not deprive you of the mandatory consumer protection rules of the country where you live or of your right to bring proceedings before the courts of that country. Consumers resident in the EU may also use the alternative dispute resolution schemes in their own country.
11Changes
These terms may be updated. For significant changes the version number is increased, the effective date changes and the app asks for your consent again.
