Terms of Service

Last updated: 13 September 2026

By accessing www.iprwise.com or using the services offered on the platform, you accept these Terms of Service. If you do not accept them, please do not use the platform.

1. Service provider

IPRwise Teknoloji A.Ş. — Atatürk Bulvarı No: 8, Kütahya, Türkiye — info@iprwise.com. This information is provided in accordance with Turkish Law No. 6563 on the Regulation of Electronic Commerce.

2. What the platform is

IPRwise is an intermediary service provider that brings together independent attorneys-at-law, trademark and patent attorneys, and those seeking intellectual property services. IPRwise does not provide legal services, representation or legal opinions; it does not create an attorney-client relationship and is not a party to one. Legal services are delivered by the professional you choose, under that professional's own responsibility and the rules of their profession.

IPRwise is under no general obligation to monitor user content, but it assesses content reported as unlawful under Laws No. 6563 and No. 5651 and acts accordingly.

3. Membership and account

To become a member you must be eighteen years of age or older and provide accurate, complete information in the registration form. Professional memberships (attorney-at-law, trademark attorney, patent attorney) require submission of the relevant registry record and certificate of authorisation.

You are responsible for the security of your account and password; activity carried out through your account is attributed to you. Notify info@iprwise.com immediately if you detect unauthorised use. Only one account may be opened per person or firm.

4. Verification

IPRwise requests documents to confirm your professional authority and marks verified members with a badge in the directory. Verification consists of a documentary check against the relevant registry records; it is not a representation about a professional's performance, level of expertise or the outcome of any matter. Submitting misleading documents is grounds for account closure.

5. Rules of use

The following are prohibited: providing false or misleading information; using another person's identity or professional title; copying, scraping or republishing platform content without permission; using software or methods that disrupt the operation of the system; steering other users off-platform in order to bypass the escrow infrastructure; publishing content contrary to law, professional ethics or the advertising restrictions applicable to the professions; and sending unsolicited bulk messages.

6. Fees and service charge

Membership is free and, as a rule, no commission is taken from your professional earnings.

• Off-platform (zero commission): if the parties settle payment directly between themselves, IPRwise deducts nothing; in return the escrow protection does not apply and the payment risk rests with the parties.
• Where the IPRwise pool (escrow) is used: a service charge of 5% from each side, 10% in total, is collected on the transaction amount. The deduction is made when the payment is released and is shown separately on the transaction screen.

The stated rates apply unless otherwise announced; changes are published on the platform before they take effect and do not apply to tasks already under way. Taxes and bank charges are borne by the relevant party. During the launch period the service charge may be waived in whole or in part; the rate currently applied is shown on the Plans & Membership page. Founding Membership benefits are set out in Section 7A of the Membership Agreement.

7. Payment and escrow

Payments are collected through Stripe. Under the escrow model, which protects the party placing the instruction, the amount is held until the work is delivered and approved; on approval it is transferred to the provider. If a dispute arises between the parties, IPRwise will make reasonable efforts to help resolve it on the basis of the records available to it; however, IPRwise is neither an arbitrator nor a court and does not decide the merits.

8. Intellectual property

The software, design, trade marks and content of the platform belong to IPRwise or its licensors. You retain the rights in the content you upload; you grant IPRwise only the limited, worldwide, royalty-free right required to provide the service. Information you choose to publish on your profile may be shown publicly in the directory and indexed by search engines.

9. Confidentiality

Documents and messages exchanged within a task are confidential between the parties. Professionals remain subject to their own professional secrecy obligations. IPRwise accesses such content only to the extent required to provide the service, ensure security and comply with legal obligations. The processing of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy.

10. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The platform is provided "as is". IPRwise gives no warranty as to the quality, accuracy, timeliness or outcome of the services provided by the professionals, and does not undertake that the platform will operate without interruption or error.

IPRwise's liability is limited to the amount of the service charge it collected on the transaction concerned. No liability is accepted for indirect damage, loss of profit, loss of data or the acts of third parties. These limitations do not exclude liability arising from IPRwise's wilful misconduct or gross negligence, nor any mandatory consumer rights.

11. Suspension and termination

You may end your membership at any time. IPRwise may suspend or close an account in the event of breach of these terms or of applicable law; tasks in progress and payment obligations are not affected. Closure of an account does not shorten the retention periods required by law.

12. Changes

These terms may be updated. Material changes are announced on the platform or by email before they take effect; continuing to use the platform after the announcement constitutes acceptance.

13. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by Turkish law. The İstanbul (Çağlayan) Courts and Enforcement Offices have jurisdiction over disputes. For users who qualify as consumers, the right to apply to consumer arbitration committees and consumer courts, and to the courts of their place of residence, is reserved.
