The BUYER may submit their requests and complaints using the communication channels specified above. Complaints and requests will be answered by the SELLER's customer services as soon as possible. 
The BUYER, by confirming this contract electronically, confirms that before the conclusion of distance contracts, they have received correct and complete information from the SELLER regarding the title, address, contact information, MERSIS number, basic features of the ordered products, the sales price of the products including all taxes, payment and delivery information, and the right of withdrawal and the procedures and conditions for exercising the right of withdrawal. 
4.2. The product subject to the contract is delivered to the BUYER or to the person/organization at the address indicated by the BUYER within the period specified in the preliminary information on the Website and in this contract, depending on the distance of the BUYER's place of residence, provided that it does not exceed 30 (thirty) days from the order date for each product. 
The delivery costs of the product subject to the contract belong to the BUYER. If the SELLER declares on the website that the delivery fee will be covered by them, the delivery costs will belong to the SELLER. The delivery of the goods is made within the promised period after the SELLER's stock is available and the payment is made. If for any reason the BUYER does not pay the price of the Goods/Services or the payment made is canceled in the bank records, the SELLER is deemed to be relieved of the obligation to deliver the Goods/Services.
4.3. If the product subject to the contract is to be delivered to a person/organization other than the BUYER, the SELLER cannot be held responsible for the refusal of delivery by the person/organization to be delivered to.
4.4. The SELLER cannot be held responsible for the non-delivery of the ordered product to the BUYER due to any problems encountered by the cargo company during the delivery of the product to the BUYER.
4.5. The SELLER is responsible for delivering the product subject to the contract sound, complete, in accordance with the qualifications specified in the order, and with guarantee certificates and user manuals, if any.
4.6. The BUYER will inspect the product subject to the contract before taking delivery. If the BUYER takes delivery of a damaged or defective product, such as one that is damaged, broken, or has torn packaging, the responsibility rests entirely with the BUYER. The product received by the BUYER from the cargo company employee will be deemed to be undamaged and sound. After delivery, the responsibility for the product and any damage belongs to the BUYER.
4.7. In case of error in product price, product description, product specifications, etc. due to technical errors or material errors during the offering of the product for sale on the Website, the SELLER reserves the right to cancel the order and refund the collected amounts to the BUYER in accordance with the provisions of the relevant legislation. 
4.8. Due to the handmade nature of the products offered on the www.ahlatcikuyumculuk.com.tr Website and the varying ring sizes ordered, there may be a difference of ± 10% in weight, length, width, etc. after production. 
4.9. If the SELLER cannot fulfill its contractual obligations due to the impossibility of fulfilling the product or service subject to the order, it shall notify the BUYER in writing or via a permanent data storage device within three days from the date it learns of this situation and shall refund all collected payments, including delivery costs if any, within a maximum of ten days from the date of notification.

4.11. If the relevant bank or financial institution does not pay the product price to the SELLER due to the unauthorized or unlawful use of the BUYER's credit card, debit card, and/or other payment systems offered on the Website by unauthorized persons after the delivery of the product, in a manner not attributable to the BUYER's fault, the BUYER is obliged to return the relevant product to the SELLER within 3 (three) days, provided that it has been delivered to the BUYER. In this case, the shipping costs belong to the BUYER.
4.12. If the SELLER cannot deliver the product subject to the contract within the due period due to force majeure or extraordinary circumstances such as adverse weather conditions preventing transportation or interruption of transportation, the SELLER is obliged to notify the BUYER of this situation.

In the event of termination of the contract, the SELLER is obliged to refund all collected payments, including delivery costs if any, to the BUYER in cash and in one lump sum within 10 (ten) days following the notification of termination. If the consumer used the installment option on a credit card at the time of purchase, the refund process will still be made to the bank in a single payment, and the bank's payment of the relevant amount to the consumer in installments and/or the period for the refund amount to be reflected on the credit card exceeding 10 days does not constitute a violation of this article. The BUYER declares and accepts that they understand this issue and have no objection.
4.13. Pursuant to Article 16, paragraph 4 of the Regulation on Distance Contracts numbered 29188, which entered into force on 27.02.2015, in cases where the performance of the goods or services subject to the order becomes impossible, the seller or provider is obliged to notify the consumer in writing or via a permanent data storage device within three days from the date it learns of this situation, and to refund all collected payments, including delivery costs if any, within a maximum of ten days from the date of notification.

In cases where the product subject to the order cannot be supplied for various reasons, etc., if the purchase was made with a credit card and in installments, the SELLER will pay the product price to the Bank in a single payment. However, the Bank may pay the relevant amount to the Consumer in installments, and/or the period for the amount to be reflected on the credit card may exceed 10 days. For wire transfer/EFT or cash on delivery options, the refund will be made by requesting the Consumer's bank account information and performing a wire transfer or EFT to the account specified by the Consumer (the account must be in the name of the person on the invoice address or the user member).

ARTICLE 5) RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
The BUYER has the right to exchange the purchased product/s for a different product from the same product group and/or to withdraw from the contract within 14 days from the delivery date, provided that the product has not been used, in accordance with Law No. 6502 on Consumer Protection, the Regulation on Distance Contracts, etc.
The period for the right of withdrawal starts on the day the contract is concluded for service performance contracts; for goods delivery contracts, it starts on the day the consumer or a third party designated by the consumer takes delivery of the goods. However, the consumer may also exercise their right of withdrawal within the period between the conclusion of the contract and the delivery of the goods.
Notifications regarding the right of withdrawal, change and/or refund transactions, and other notifications regarding the contract can be sent to the seller using the seller's contact information specified above.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, notification must be made to the SELLER by phone or email within 14 (fourteen) days, and the product must not fall within the scope of Article 15 of the Regulation on Distance Contracts, titled "Exceptions to the Right of Withdrawal," published in the Official Gazette on 27.11.2014, and must be suitable for resale by the SELLER. 
The product/s sold within the scope of this contract fall within the scope of Article 15 of the Regulation on Distance Contracts, titled "Exceptions to the Right of Withdrawal," and the BUYER declares and accepts that they are aware of and understand this matter. 
In case the right of withdrawal is exercised:
a) For the change and/or refund process to begin, the BUYER must contact the SELLER by phone or email at iletisim@ahlatcikuyumculuk.com.tr, which are the communication channels specified in this agreement, and obtain a return tracking or return exchange number for the refund process.
b) To complete the refund process, the BUYER must fill out the return-exchange form sent with the return tracking number and send the product securely via cargo to the SELLER's address specified in this agreement. Along with the product, the product's box, packaging, product warranty certificate, invoice, any standard accessories, and other gifted products must also be delivered complete and undamaged. The cargo costs incurred at this stage belong to the SELLER. Refund transactions are not carried out for products sent without an invoice and warranty certificate; in such a case, the product will not be accepted and will be sent back.

The returned product must be completely undamaged and unused. Products that have been scratched, damaged in any way, physically altered, or have undergone structural and textural degradation will definitely not be accepted for return. Returns of orders from which the security label on the products has been removed are not accepted; in case of return of products with the security label removed, the cargo will be sent directly back to the buyer. After the product is examined by our experts, if no damage or degradation is detected, the return process will be initiated.

This period does not exceed 10 days for payments made via WIRE TRANSFER/EFT, while for consumers who opted for installment payment on their credit card at the time of purchase, the refund process will still be made to the bank in a single payment, and the bank's payment of the relevant amount to the consumer in installments and/or the period for the refund amount to be reflected on the credit card exceeding 10 days does not constitute a violation of this article. The BUYER declares and accepts that they understand this issue and have no objection.
