Terms of Service
Version: 1.0 — Last updated: August 15, 2026
Governing language: This English translation is provided for convenience only. The legally binding version of these Terms is the Turkish original. In case of any discrepancy between the two versions, the Turkish version prevails.
1. Parties and Acceptance
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are concluded between AK Kurumsal İletişim Turizm Eğitim Danışmanlık A.Ş. (Zincirlikuyu Tax Office — Tax No: 0110571208; Çeliktepe Mah. Kubilay Cad. No:1 İç Kapı No:13, 34413 Kağıthane/Istanbul, Türkiye), operating under the ReportEngine brand (“Platform”, “we”), and the natural or legal person using the AI-assisted corporate reporting services provided via the reportengine.ai domain and its subdomains (“Service”) (“User”, “Customer”).
By accessing the Service, creating an account, or using the Service in any way, you declare that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety. If you do not accept the Terms, do not use the Service. If you accept on behalf of a legal entity, you further represent and warrant that you are authorized to represent that entity.
Intellectual property and non-compete undertaking (accepted upfront): From the moment of accessing the Service or commencing a collaboration, the User — including Customers, trial, developer, and administrator accounts opened upon the Platform’s invitation, and service providers who work or will work with the Platform — irrevocably accepts, declares, and undertakes upfront that they will (i) not develop or launch, without the Platform’s written permission, any similar product, service, or work modeled on the Platform, its operation, design, AI workflows, or rule sets; and (ii) acknowledge that the copyrights and all intellectual and industrial property rights in the Platform’s software, application, interface, trademarks, content, and other elements belong to Ahmet Karayiğit and AK Kurumsal İletişim Turizm Eğitim Danışmanlık A.Ş. (Zincirlikuyu Tax Office — Tax No: 0110571208), respect and protect those rights, and refrain from any act infringing them. This undertaking survives the closure of the account or the end of access (for the detailed confidentiality and non-compete undertakings, see Section 10; see also Sections 5, 7, and 9).
The Service is directed at businesses and corporate users, not consumers (B2B). The User accepts that they use the Service for commercial or professional purposes and do not qualify as a “consumer” under Turkish Law No. 6502 on Consumer Protection.
2. Definitions
- Service: the software services provided through the Platform, including report creation, editing, AI-assisted content generation, compliance checking, export (PDF, Word, HTML, JSON), real-time collaboration, and all related modules.
- Customer Content: all data, documents, text, images, and other materials that the User uploads to, enters into, or processes through the Service.
- AI Output: draft text, suggestions, analyses, designs, and other outputs produced by the Platform’s artificial intelligence components based on Customer Content and User instructions.
- Subscription: the periodic usage model granting access to the Service according to the plan selected by the User.
3. Description and Scope of the Service
The Platform is a software tool that assists in preparing annual reports, sustainability reports, integrated reports, and custom reports. The Platform’s compliance module evaluates reports against rule sets for selected standards (CMB/SPK, TFRS, KAP, GRI, SASB, TSRS, etc.) in an automated and assistive capacity only.
The Service is not a consultancy service. The Platform does not provide legal, financial, tax, audit, or investment advice; no content, compliance assessment, or suggestion produced within the Service may be interpreted as such. The final review of, and responsibility for, the legal compliance of filings and disclosures made to regulatory authorities (CMB, KAP, relevant ministries, etc.) rests exclusively with the User. The User is obliged to obtain independent professional advice where necessary.
4. Account Creation and Security
- The User must provide accurate, current, and complete information at registration and keep it up to date.
- The User is responsible for the confidentiality of account credentials (including passwords and multi-factor authentication tools) and for all activities carried out through the account.
- In case of suspected unauthorized access, the User shall notify the Platform immediately. The Platform cannot be held liable for damages arising from delayed notification.
- The Platform reserves the right to suspend or close, without prior notice, accounts opened with false, misleading, or unlawful information.
5. License and Restrictions
The Platform grants the User a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right of use limited to the Subscription term. The User agrees not to:
- use the Service in violation of applicable law, third-party rights, or these Terms;
- attempt to obtain the source code of the Service by reverse engineering, decompilation, or similar methods;
- resell, rent, time-share, or offer the Service to third parties as a service bureau (without written permission);
- circumvent security measures, conduct vulnerability scans, or engage in activities that impair the integrity or availability of the Service (including overloading and automated scraping);
- upload Customer Content that is misleading, unlawful, or infringes third parties’ intellectual property, personality, or data protection rights;
- use the Service to develop a competing product or publish benchmark results without permission;
- distribute malware or use the Service infrastructure to attack third-party systems.
6. Special Provisions on AI Outputs
The User declares that they are aware of and accept the following, inherent to AI technologies:
- No guarantee of accuracy: AI Outputs may contain incorrect, incomplete, outdated, or misleading information (including “hallucinations”). The Platform makes no express or implied warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, currency, or fitness for a particular purpose of AI Outputs.
- Verification obligation: the User must review, verify, and make any necessary corrections to every AI Output before publishing, distributing, or relying on it for any decision or official filing.
- Final responsibility: all consequences arising from the use and publication of AI Outputs, and from decisions based on them, rest exclusively with the User.
- Similar outputs: due to the nature of AI models, similar or identical outputs may be produced for different users; the User accepts that exclusivity may not be claimed over AI Outputs.
- Third-party models: AI features may be provided through third-party model providers. The related processing activities are described in the Privacy Policy. Customer Content is not used to train third-party foundation models except upon the User’s explicit instruction.
7. Customer Content and Intellectual Property
Customer Content belongs to the User. The User grants the Platform a worldwide, royalty-free right of use limited to the scope required to provide the Service (hosting, processing, backup, display, export, and operation of AI functions). This right ends upon deletion of the relevant content or termination of the agreement, subject to statutory retention obligations.
The User warrants that they hold all necessary rights in the Customer Content and that the content does not infringe third parties’ intellectual property, trade secret, personality, or personal data protection rights.
All intellectual and industrial property rights in the software, interface, designs, trademarks, logos, templates, rule sets, and all other elements of the Service belong exclusively to Ahmet Karayiğit and AK Kurumsal İletişim Turizm Eğitim Danışmanlık A.Ş. (Zincirlikuyu Tax Office — Tax No: 0110571208). These Terms do not constitute any transfer of rights other than the limited right of use. Feedback and suggestions submitted by the User may be used freely by the Platform without any compensation.
8. Fees and Payment
- Service fees are determined according to the plans and amounts published on the Platform or agreed in writing between the parties. Unless stated otherwise, published amounts do not include VAT.
- Payments are made by bank (EFT/wire) transfer to the bank account notified by the Platform. Access to the Service is provisioned after the payment is credited.
- For amounts not paid on time, the Platform reserves the right to suspend the Service and to claim default interest under Turkish Law No. 3095.
- Setup/onboarding fees are non-refundable due to the nature of the service. Periodic subscription fees are not refunded for partial use after the relevant period has started; the parties may agree otherwise in writing.
- The Platform reserves the right to change prices; changes do not affect the current paid period, apply to subsequent periods, and are announced within a reasonable period in advance.
9. Trial Period and Invited Accounts
The Platform may offer a free trial of any scope and duration, change the trial conditions, or remove the trial entirely. During the trial, the Service is provided “as is”; data in trial accounts may be deleted after a reasonable notice period following the end of the trial.
Invited accounts (trial user, developer, administrator): Accounts opened upon the Platform’s invitation are also subject to these Terms in their entirety; acceptance of the Terms is mandatory at account creation. Access granted to such accounts is free of charge (unless agreed otherwise in writing), is for trial/evaluation or development purposes, and may be narrowed or terminated by the Platform at any time without cause. The invited user agrees to keep confidential any non-public product, technology, and business information learned during their access (including unreleased features and performance/benchmark results), not to share it with third parties, and not to use it for competitive purposes (for the scope and duration of the confidentiality and non-compete undertakings, see Section 10). Trial and developer accounts may not be used to prepare official filings with production (live) data; content in these accounts may be deleted after a 14-day notice period once access ends.
10. Confidentiality and Non-Compete Undertakings
This Section covers Customers, accounts opened upon the Platform’s invitation (trial user, developer, administrator), and service providers and subcontractors who establish, or will establish, a service, development, consultancy, or similar collaboration relationship with the Platform (together, the “Collaboration Parties”). The Platform conducts all of its business relationships in a spirit of mutual respect and trust; the undertakings below constitute the legal assurance of that trust and of the rights of those who have invested their work in the Platform. Where separate written agreements concluded with service providers contain more detailed provisions, those provisions prevail in the relationship with the relevant party; this Section constitutes the minimum standard of protection.
10.1 Confidentiality — during and after the collaboration, indefinitely
The Collaboration Parties accept, declare, and undertake — effective during the collaboration and indefinitely after it ends for any reason — to keep confidential all non-public information belonging to the Platform or learned through the Platform, including but not limited to software and source code, system architecture, AI workflows and prompt designs, rule sets, business model, pricing and commercial terms, customer and supplier information, financial data, know-how, and trade secrets; not to share it with any natural person or organization, not to disclose or copy it, and to use it solely for the purpose of the collaboration.
Disclosures that are mandatory upon the binding request of a legally competent authority do not constitute a breach of this undertaking; in such a case, the Platform is given prior written notice to the extent legally possible, and the disclosure is limited to the minimum scope requested.
10.2 Non-compete — five (5) years after the collaboration
The Collaboration Parties accept, declare, and undertake that, for five (5) years from the end of the collaboration (membership, invited access, or service relationship) for any reason, they will not take part in, launch, establish, or become a partner in any similar project, product, or service competing with the Platform in its field of activity — AI-assisted corporate reporting — directly or indirectly, nor contribute to one as a shareholder, director, consultant, or service provider.
This undertaking is drafted to be proportionate in subject matter and duration, for the purpose of protecting the confidential information and know-how obtained from the Platform. If the mandatory provisions of the applicable law prescribe a shorter maximum duration or a narrower scope, the undertaking does not become invalid; it remains in force limited to the longest duration and the widest scope permitted by law.
10.3 Consequences of breach
In the event of a breach of the undertakings in this Section, the Platform reserves the right to terminate the agreement for just cause with immediate effect, to end access, and to claim compensation for all damages incurred (see also Section 14 — Indemnification). In cases of confidentiality and intellectual property infringements, the Platform’s right to pursue all legal remedies, including injunctive relief, is reserved.
11. Third-Party Services
The Service relies on third-party providers for functions such as hosting, authentication, database, e-mail, and artificial intelligence (see the Privacy Policy for the current list). Beyond producing reasonable workarounds, the Platform accepts no liability for disruptions caused by outages, changes, or terminations of third-party services.
12. Service Level, Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. The Platform makes no express or implied warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fully secure, or as to fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, or non-infringement of third-party rights. The Service may be temporarily suspended for planned maintenance, updates, and emergency interventions; the Platform endeavors to announce significant planned outages within a reasonable period in advance.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by mandatory provisions of applicable law:
- The Platform is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages, including loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of data, loss of reputation, loss of business opportunity, and cost of substitute services.
- The Platform’s total liability arising from these Terms or the Service is in any case limited to the total Service fees actually paid by the User to the Platform in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to liability.
- Damages arising from the use of AI Outputs, from filings made to regulatory authorities, and from Customer Content may under no circumstances be attributed to the Platform.
- These limitations do not apply in cases of the Platform’s intent or gross negligence.
14. Indemnification
The User agrees to indemnify, upon first written demand, the Platform, its directors, and employees against all claims, lawsuits, damages, penalties, and costs (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from (i) the User’s breach of these Terms, (ii) Customer Content, (iii) unlawful use of the Service, or (iv) infringement of third-party rights.
15. Suspension and Termination
- The User may close their account at any time; fees accrued up to the closing date are not refunded.
- The Platform may suspend the Service in whole or in part, or terminate the agreement for just cause with immediate effect, in cases of breach of the Terms, payment default, security risk, or legal requirement.
- Upon termination, the User may export their data within thirty (30) days of the termination date; after this period the Platform is entitled to delete Customer Content, subject to statutory retention obligations.
- Provisions which by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, limitation of liability, indemnification, evidence agreement, governing law, etc.) remain in force.
16. Force Majeure
Neither party is liable for failure to perform its obligations during events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, epidemics, war, terrorism, riots, large-scale internet/power outages, cyber attacks, failure of third-party infrastructure providers, legislative changes, and decisions of administrative authorities.
17. Changes to the Terms
The Platform may update these Terms. Material changes are announced via the Platform or by e-mail a reasonable period before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. A User who does not accept a change may close their account.
18. Assignment
The User may not assign their rights and obligations under this agreement without the Platform’s written consent. The Platform may assign the agreement and its receivables to third parties in the context of a merger, demerger, joint venture, or transfer of business.
19. Severability and Waiver
If any provision of the Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions is not affected. The Platform’s failure to exercise any right does not constitute a waiver of that right.
20. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. The Istanbul (Çağlayan) Courts and Enforcement Offices have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms.
21. Evidence Agreement
The parties agree that in disputes arising from these Terms, the Platform’s system records, database records, server logs, and e-mail records constitute conclusive and exclusive evidence pursuant to Article 193 of the Turkish Code of Civil Procedure (Law No. 6100).
22. Notices and Contact
Notices to the Platform shall be sent to info@reportengine.ai or to the postal address AK Kurumsal İletişim Turizm Eğitim Danışmanlık A.Ş., Çeliktepe Mah. Kubilay Cad. No:1 İç Kapı No:13, 34413 Kağıthane/Istanbul, Türkiye (Tel: +90 212 225 61 31); notices to the User are sent to their registered e-mail address. Notices sent by e-mail are deemed served on the business day following the date of dispatch.
23. Effectiveness
These Terms enter into force on the date they are accepted by the User or the Service is first used, and remain in effect until the agreement is terminated.
