Terms of Service
Last updated: January 1, 2026
This Terms of Service ("Agreement"), provided by Blue Grey Ltd. Şti., governs the use of Yelken’s software, solutions and services ("Yelken Services") to build, deploy, host, and manage web projects. For customers from Republic of Turkey, they are bound with Hizmet Şartları agreement. It is advised for them to read mentioned agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, any software that we provide exclusively under explicit licenses (including, without limitation, Yelken CMS) are not covered by this Agreement. By clicking on the "Sign Up" button (or any similar button) that is presented to you at the time of sign-up or by using or accessing the Yelken Services, you indicate that you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and that will also be the effective date of this Agreement ("Effective Date").
You will be referred to in this Agreement as either "you" or "Customer." If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company, organization or another legal entity, you are agreeing to this Agreement for that entity and representing that you have the authority to bind such entity to this Agreement, in which case the terms “Customer” or “you” will refer to such entity. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree with this Agreement, you must not accept this Agreement and must not use the Yelken Services.
A valid Yelken account may only be created and maintained by a Customer who provides valid information about the Customer in the signup process. To maintain a valid account, the Customer must regularly update such information to assure its accuracy. Yelken reserves the right to terminate any account that does not include a valid email address on file.

Yelken uses third-party payment processors (the “Payment Processors”) to bill you through the payment method(s) linked to your Account (your “Billing Information”). The processing of payments may be subject to the terms, conditions and policies of the Payment Processors in addition to this Agreement.

During the term of this Agreement, you agree to be billed on a recurring basis and to be automatically charged by Yelken or Yelken's Payment Processors using your Payment Methods upon invoicing. If your Payment Method or payment of fees is subject to other terms and conditions, as set forth in order forms, invoices or otherwise, then those other terms and conditions apply in addition to this Agreement. You may also be billed an amount up to your current balance at any time to verify the accuracy of your account information.

5.3 Taxes
The payment fees do not include any local, state, federal, or foreign taxes, levies or duties of any nature (e.g., value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes assessable by any local, state, provincial or foreign jurisdiction). Customer is responsible for paying any such taxes, and Yelken may invoice them, excluding taxes based on Yelken’s income.
5.4 Credits
Yelken may offer Service credits from time to time, and any provision of such credits is governed by the disclosures, terms and policies concerning the credits.

5.5 Changes in Fees
Yelken reserves the right to change the fees or to institute new charges or to otherwise change the terms and conditions applicable to the Plans; provided, however, that any such changes will apply only: (a) to new Yelken Services procured after the changes; and (b) to continuing Yelken Services for any renewal term(s) starting after notice of such changes was provided or such earlier time as Customer affirmatively accepts the modified terms.
6. Limitation of Liability
Notwithstanding any damages that you might incur, the entire liability of the Yelken and any of its suppliers under any provision of this Terms and your exclusive remedy for all of the foregoing shall be limited to the amount actually paid by you through the Service at issue in the month prior to the event or circumstance giving rise to claim.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Yelken or its suppliers be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, loss of data or other information, for business interruption, for personal injury, loss of privacy arising out of or in any way related to the use of or inability to use the Service, third-party software and/or third-party hardware used with the Service, or otherwise in connection with any provision of this Terms), even if the Yelken or any supplier has been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if the remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply. In these states, each party's liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
7. Warranties and Disclaimers
The Service is provided to you "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" and with all faults and defects without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, Yelken, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates and its and their respective licensors and service providers, expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, with respect to the Service, including all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and warranties that may arise out of course of dealing, course of performance, usage or trade practice. Without limitation to the foregoing, Yelken provides no warranty or undertaking, and makes no representation of any kind that the Service will meet your requirements, achieve any intended results, be compatible or work with any other software, applications, systems or services, operate without interruption, meet any performance or reliability standards or be error free or that any errors or defects can or will be corrected.
Without limiting the foregoing, neither Yelken nor any of its provider makes any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied: (i) as to the operation or availability of the Service, or the information, content, and materials or products included thereon; (ii) that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free; (iii) as to the accuracy, reliability, or currency of any information or content provided through the Service; or (iv) that the Service, its servers, the content, or e-mails sent from or on behalf of Yelken are free of viruses, scripts, trojan horses, worms, malware, timebombs or other harmful components.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain types of warranties or limitations on applicable statutory rights of a consumer, so some or all of the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you. But in such a case the exclusions and limitations set forth in this section shall be applied to the greatest extent enforceable under applicable law.
8. Third Party Services
Our Service may contain links to third-party web sites or services that are not owned or controlled by the Yelken. Yelken has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party web sites or services.
