About these terms
These terms of use apply when you use geekycodelab.com (the site) and the Geeky Code Lab Hub (the Hub), the signed-in area where our team and our clients work on projects together. By using the site or signing in to the Hub you agree to them.
The site and the Hub are run by Kaveh Movahedi, sole proprietorship (şahıs işletmesi), trading as Geeky Code Lab, Akpınar Mah. Arızlı TOKİ Konutları Sk. Arızlı TOKİ Konutları 4. Ada A6 Blok No: 19 İç Kapı No: 6, İzmit / Kocaeli, Türkiye; Tepecik Tax Office, tax ID number 6231650161. In these terms "we" and "us" mean Geeky Code Lab, and "you" means the person using the site or the Hub.
If you use the Hub for your organisation, you accept these terms for yourself and confirm that your organisation allows you to. The work we do for a client (design, development, marketing, AI) is governed by the proposal, contract or order the client signs with us. If that contract and these terms disagree, the contract wins.
How we handle personal data is explained in our Privacy policy, our KVKK notice and our Cookie policy.
Using the site
The site describes who we are and what we offer. It is general information, not an offer: prices, scope and timelines are agreed only in a written proposal or contract. Nothing on the site is legal, financial or other professional advice.
You may read, share and link to the site's pages. You may not copy large parts of it, reuse our designs, texts or logos as your own, or present our work as yours.
Hub accounts
- Invitation only. You can have a Hub account only if we, or an administrator, invited you. Each account is for one person and must not be shared.
- Keep it safe. Use a strong password and two-factor authentication when we require it, keep your recovery codes private and tell us at once if you think someone else used your account.
- Accurate details. Keep your name and email correct. If you leave your organisation, it or we may deactivate your account.
- Roles. What you can see and do depends on your role (Owner, Admin, Member, Client) and on the projects and spaces you are given. Content marked Internal is for our team only. Don't try to reach content you haven't been given.
Acceptable use
When you use the site or the Hub you must not:
- break the law, or infringe anyone's rights, including their privacy and intellectual property;
- upload malware, or anything you have no right to share;
- try to get around access rules, rate limits or security, probe or scan our systems, or reach data that isn't yours (to report a security problem, see "Contact");
- overload the site or the Hub, or use automated tools to collect its content, beyond what an authorised connected app does on your behalf;
- harass anyone, or post content that is unlawful, hateful or deceptive;
- upload special categories of personal data (such as health, biometric or criminal-record data) unless we agreed this in writing beforehand;
- use the Hub to build a competing product, or copy, decompile or resell it.
We may remove content that breaks these rules and suspend or deactivate an account that does, where possible after telling you.
Your content
"Your content" is what you or your organisation put into the Hub: work items, comments, files, documents and the like.
- You keep ownership. Your content stays yours or your organisation's.
- What you let us do. You allow us to store, copy, process, show and back up your content to run the Hub for you and the people you work with; to send notifications about it; and, where "AI can use this" is on, to index it for the Hub's AI features. We do this only to provide the Hub and our services, not for any other purpose.
- Your responsibility. You confirm you have the right to upload your content, and that where it contains other people's personal data you have a lawful basis to share it with us.
- When the contract ends. What happens to an organisation's content after its contract with us ends, including whether it can be exported first and how long it is kept, is set out in that contract.
Our property
The site, the Hub, our software, designs, design system, texts and brand belong to us or our licensors. Using the Hub gives you a limited, personal, non-transferable right to use it for its purpose while your account is active; it doesn't transfer any of our rights to you. If you send us ideas or feedback about the Hub, we may use them freely.
Rights in the work we create for a client (designs, code, content) are set out in each client's contract.
AI features and connected apps
The site's chat assistant and the Hub's AI features use AI services from third parties (currently Anthropic and Voyage AI). Please keep in mind:
- AI can be wrong. Answers can be incomplete, out of date or wrong, even when they cite a source. Check anything important before you rely on it, and don't treat an answer as legal, financial, medical or other professional advice.
- You decide. AI answers are suggestions. You stay responsible for what you do with them and for what you ask the AI to do.
- Connected apps. If you connect an AI app such as Claude or ChatGPT to the Hub, it can do what you can do, within the rights you gave it. Its provider's terms apply to your use of the app. You can disconnect it at any time in My account.
- Don't put in what you shouldn't. Don't share passwords, secrets or sensitive personal data with the chat assistant.
Third-party services
The site and the Hub link to or work with services run by others, such as Google sign-in, WhatsApp and connected AI apps. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to them, and we are not responsible for them.
Availability and changes to the service
We work to keep the site and the Hub available and secure, but we don't promise they will always be available, uninterrupted or error-free. We may need to pause them for maintenance, security or reasons outside our control. We may add, change or remove features; if a change takes away something important you rely on in the Hub, we tell you in advance where we reasonably can. A service level, if any, is agreed in the client's contract.
Keep your own copies of anything critical. We keep backups for 30 days to recover from faults, not as an archive for you.
Suspending or ending access
You can stop using the site or the Hub at any time. We may suspend or deactivate an account if it breaks these terms, puts security or other users at risk, or when the contract with your organisation ends. Sections that by their nature should continue (for example "Our property", "Liability" and "Law and disputes") continue after access ends.
Liability
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Turkish law, including liability for intent or gross negligence (Turkish Code of Obligations, article 115), for harm to life or health, and your rights as a consumer under the Consumer Protection Law No. 6502 where it applies to you.
Within those limits:
- The site's content is provided for information. We are not liable for decisions taken only on the basis of the site's content or of AI answers.
- For Hub users acting for a business, our total liability for all claims arising from the Hub is limited to the fees your organisation paid us in the 12 months before the claim, and we are not liable for indirect loss such as lost profit, lost business or loss of data that could have been avoided by keeping backups. The client's contract may set different limits; then the contract applies.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms, for example when we add features or the law changes. We show the date of the latest version at the top of this page. If a change matters to Hub users, we tell you in the Hub or by email at least 15 days before it applies; continuing to use the Hub after that means you accept it. Changes don't apply to anything that happened before them.
Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye.
- Business users: the courts and enforcement offices of Kocaeli (İzmit) have jurisdiction. Before suing for a monetary claim, the mandatory commercial mediation under Turkish law applies where it covers the dispute.
- Consumers: if you are a consumer, you can apply to the consumer arbitration committee or consumer court where you live or where the transaction took place, within the limits set by Law No. 6502. If you live in the EU, you also keep the protection of the mandatory consumer law of your country.
These terms are published in English and Turkish. Each version is binding for the people it is written for.
