Terms of Use

The agreement between you and OtoTasdik when you use it outside Türkiye.

Last updated: 1 November 2026

These Terms of Use are the agreement between you and OtoTasdik for the OtoTasdik app, the web panel at giris.ototasdik.com and the services connected to them. They apply to accounts set up for the United Kingdom, the European Union or the United States, which are accounts that use pounds sterling, euros or US dollars. If your account uses Turkish lira, our Turkish terms apply instead.

Please also read our privacy policy. It explains how we handle personal data.

1. Who we are

OtoTasdik is run by Ahmet Türkmen, a private individual in Türkiye. OtoTasdik is not a company. In these terms "OtoTasdik", "we" and "us" mean him, and "you" means the person or business that uses OtoTasdik.

  • Postal address: Anafartalar 23/8, Melikgazi, Kayseri, Türkiye
  • Phone: +90 545 204 97 48
  • Support and questions about these terms: destek@ototasdik.com
  • Legal notices: hukuk@ototasdik.com

2. What OtoTasdik offers

For car owners, OtoTasdik is a digital garage for the history of your cars. You can add vehicles, records, documents, inspection records (MOT test in the UK, HU inspection in Germany, vehicle inspection in the US) and reminders. You can add records that a workshop has sealed, and you can share a sale link with a buyer.

For workshops, OtoTasdik is a tool to record jobs, seal them, issue a Service Statement and send it to the customer with a QR code or a link. A workshop can also keep a list of its customers.

OtoTasdik is free for car owners and workshops. We do not charge you for the features in these terms. If we ever offer paid features, we will tell you the price before you choose them, and they will only apply if you agree.

To use OtoTasdik you need an internet connection and either the app, on an iPhone with iOS 15.5 or later or on a device with Android 7.0 or later, or a current web browser for the web panel.

Some features exist only for accounts in Türkiye, for example uploading TÜVTÜRK reports, traffic fines, the accident report form, appraisal (ekspertiz) services, the vehicle tax calculator, the AI document reader and text messages. They are not part of this agreement.

3. How the agreement is concluded

  • You conclude this agreement when you create an account in the app or in the web panel. You give your name and e-mail address and choose a password, or you sign in with Google or Apple. Workshops also give their business details.
  • Until you tap the button that creates the account, you can check and correct every entry, go back a step or stop.
  • By creating the account you accept these terms. If your account uses euros, we then send you a confirmation of the agreement by e-mail. It contains these terms in full, with the withdrawal notice and the model withdrawal form, in the language in which you accepted them. For other accounts we confirm your sign-up by e-mail or in the app.
  • We keep the version of these terms that you accepted and send it to you if you ask. The current version is always on www.ototasdik.com, where you can save or print it.
  • You can conclude the agreement in English, German or Turkish.
  • We have not signed up to any code of conduct.

4. Right of withdrawal for consumers in the EU

If you are a consumer and live in the European Union, you have the right of withdrawal described below. Workshops have no right of withdrawal.

Withdrawal notice

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Ahmet Türkmen, OtoTasdik, Anafartalar 23/8, Melikgazi, Kayseri, Türkiye, phone +90 545 204 97 48, e-mail destek@ototasdik.com) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (for example a letter sent by post or an e-mail). You may use the model withdrawal form below, but it is not obligatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online, in the OtoTasdik app at the top of the Profile tab and in the web panel (giris.ototasdik.com) at the top of Settings. In both places the function is in the section "Right of withdrawal", with the button "Withdraw from contract". If you use this online feature, we will send you an acknowledgement of receipt of the withdrawal on a durable medium (for example by e-mail), including its content and the date and time of its submission, without undue delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

Model withdrawal form

(Complete and return this form only if you wish to withdraw from the contract.)

  • To Ahmet Türkmen, OtoTasdik, Anafartalar 23/8, Melikgazi, Kayseri, Türkiye, e-mail destek@ototasdik.com:
  • I/We hereby give notice that I/We withdraw from my/our contract for the provision of the following service: use of OtoTasdik (user account)
  • Ordered on (the day you created your account):
  • Name of consumer(s):
  • Address of consumer(s):
  • Signature of consumer(s) (only if this form is notified on paper):
  • Date:

(Delete as appropriate.)

What a withdrawal means for your account

OtoTasdik is free. You have not paid us anything, and a withdrawal costs you nothing. After a withdrawal we close your account in the same way as when you delete it yourself (section 14).

5. Your account

  • You must be at least 18 years old.
  • Give correct details and keep them up to date.
  • An account is personal. Do not share your password, and keep your sign-in details safe. Tell us at once if you think someone else is using your account.
  • You are responsible for what is done in your account with your sign-in details if you are at fault, for example if you shared your password.
  • A workshop account may only be opened for a business, by a person who is allowed to act for it. A workshop uses OtoTasdik for its trade, not as a consumer.

6. Acceptable use

You must not:

  • enter records, mileage readings or documents that you know are false or misleading;
  • add a car that you do not own, keep or use, unless its owner has allowed you to; a workshop may only record jobs on cars it has worked on;
  • upload other people's personal data unless you are allowed to;
  • upload content that is unlawful, infringes the rights of others or contains malware;
  • use a sale link, a record or a workshop page to mislead buyers or customers;
  • pretend to be a workshop, a person or a business you are not;
  • try to get around our security, access data that is not yours, overload our systems or copy data from OtoTasdik with automated tools;
  • copy, decompile or change the app, unless the law allows it.

If you break these rules, we can remove the content concerned and restrict or close your account, as described in section 14.

7. Your records and what a seal means

Records you enter yourself

Records you enter are your own statements. We do not check them. The app marks them as your own entries.

Records a workshop seals

A workshop with an approved OtoTasdik account can seal a job. Sealing creates a digital signature over the content of the record at that moment.

A seal shows that:

  • the record was created in the workshop account named on it, at the time shown;
  • its content has not changed since it was sealed.

Before a workshop outside Türkiye can seal jobs, we review its business documents (section 9).

A seal does not show that:

  • the work was actually done, or done properly;
  • the parts were new, genuine or suitable;
  • the mileage on the record is correct;
  • the car is roadworthy or free from damage.

A seal is not a qualified electronic signature and not an official document. It does not replace an MOT test, an HU inspection, a vehicle inspection, an appraisal or a purchase check. The workshop that sealed a record is responsible for its content.

Mileage flags

We automatically check the mileage readings of a car and flag readings that do not fit together. A flag is a hint, not a finding that someone changed the mileage. A flag can be wrong, for example after a typing error or a replaced instrument cluster. If you think a flag is wrong, write to us and a person will look at it.

  • You decide which records, photos, prices and notes a sale link shows. Anyone who has the link can open it without an account.
  • A sale link never shows your name, your e-mail address or your phone number.
  • We ask search engines not to list sale links, unless you allow it.
  • You can revoke a sale link at any time. If you set an end date, the link closes on that date.
  • We close your sale links when you delete your account, when you remove the car and when you record that you sold or handed over the car.
  • You are responsible for your note on a sale link. We are not a party to any sale, we do not check the car and we do not guarantee anything to a buyer.

9. Workshop accounts

Review

We review every workshop application by hand. We check that the tax identifier has the right format for your country, and we check the document you upload: in Germany a Gewerbeanmeldung, in the UK a VAT registration certificate or a certificate of incorporation, in the US a business licence or the IRS letter that assigns your EIN. We can ask for more documents, refuse an application or withdraw an approval if the details are not correct. You can seal jobs only after we have approved your account. We keep the documents you upload for the review for three years after your workshop account ends, as proof of our review, and then delete them.

Your duties

  • Record jobs truthfully and completely, and seal a job only when it is finished.
  • Enter the tax rates that apply to your business. OtoTasdik calculates the tax from the rates you enter.
  • Keep your business details and documents up to date.

The Service Statement is not an invoice

The Service Statement is a digital service document produced with OtoTasdik. It is not a tax invoice. Issue your invoices separately, as the law of your country requires.

Your customers' data

For the data you enter about your customers, you are responsible under data protection law (you are the controller). You need a legal basis for it and you must inform your customers. We store and process this data for you as your processor (Article 28 GDPR and UK GDPR), on the following terms:

  • Subject, duration, nature and purpose: we store and process the data for as long as your workshop account exists, so that you can use the workshop tools of OtoTasdik: work orders, the customer list, sealing, Service Statements and reminders.
  • Data and people concerned: the names and phone numbers of your customers, their cars (number plate, VIN, make, model, year and mileage), the jobs (work, parts, prices), your notes and photos. The people concerned are your customers and the people who bring cars to you.
  • We process the data only on your documented instructions, which are these terms, the settings you use and the instructions you send us by e-mail. This also applies to transfers to countries outside the EU and the UK: we access the data from Türkiye and use the service providers named in our privacy policy, with the safeguards described there. If the law requires us to process the data in another way, we tell you before, unless that law forbids it. If we think an instruction breaks data protection law, we tell you at once.
  • Everyone who works on OtoTasdik for us is bound to confidentiality.
  • We protect the data with appropriate technical and organisational measures, as described in our privacy policy.
  • You allow us to use the service providers listed in our privacy policy. We will tell you in advance about a new or replaced provider, and you can object. If we cannot resolve your objection, you can end this agreement. We bind each provider to the same data protection duties.
  • We help you answer requests from your customers and meet your own duties on security, breach notification, impact assessments and prior consultation, as far as we can.
  • We will tell you without undue delay if we become aware of a personal data breach that affects your data.
  • When your workshop account ends, we delete your customers' data within 30 days, unless the law requires us to keep it. This covers your customer list, your notes and the work orders that you did not seal, with their photos. If you want a copy of it, ask us at destek@ototasdik.com before your workshop account ends; we send you the copy and then delete the data. Your workshop account ends when you ask us to close your workshop, when the owner's account is deleted or when this agreement ends in another way (section 14).
  • We give you the information you need to show that these duties are met, and we allow reasonable audits, including inspections, by you or an auditor you appoint.

When you seal a job, a copy of the sealed record stays with the history of the car and the customer can add it to a garage. We are responsible for that copy as described in our privacy policy. It is not deleted when your workshop account ends.

Your workshop page and ratings

  • If your workshop has a public page, it shows your business details, your specialities and the ratings and comments of your customers. We take the page offline when your workshop account ends.
  • Only a car owner who has added a job that your workshop completed in OtoTasdik to their garage can rate that job, and only once. This is how we make sure that ratings come from your customers. We do not check ratings in any other way.
  • We may remove a rating or a comment that is unlawful or that breaks these terms.
  • In the list of workshops in a town, workshops appear in alphabetical order of their trade name. Ratings, payments or other factors do not change the order.
  • We do not market your services through other channels or partner programmes.
  • While your workshop account exists, you can see and use the data in it: work orders, the customer list, Service Statements and ratings. We have access to all of it to provide OtoTasdik. We do not give it to other workshops or to other users, apart from what your workshop page and your sealed records show.

10. Your content

You keep all rights in the content you add. You allow us to store, copy, process and display it as far as we need to provide OtoTasdik, for example to show your records in your garage, on a sale link you create or on your workshop page. Records also stay with the history of a car as described in our privacy policy. You confirm that you have the right to upload the photos and documents you add.

11. Our rights

The app, the web panel, the website, their design and the name and logo of OtoTasdik belong to us. These terms give you the right to use OtoTasdik as described in them, and no other right.

12. Availability, updates and changes to the service

We work to keep OtoTasdik available and secure. Interruptions can happen, for example for maintenance and updates, and we keep them as short as we can. If OtoTasdik does not work as these terms describe, you have the rights that the law gives you. Consumers in the EU have in particular the rights for digital products (in Germany sections 327 and following of the German Civil Code).

We provide the updates that are needed to keep OtoTasdik working as these terms describe, including security updates, for as long as your account exists, and we tell you about them. Install updates of the app when we offer them. If you do not install an update within a reasonable time, we are not responsible for a defect that the update would have fixed, provided that we told you about the update and about what happens if you do not install it.

We may change or develop OtoTasdik beyond that for a valid reason, for example new laws, security, technical progress or a change in how people use it. A change will not cost you anything, and we tell you about it clearly. If a change affects your access to OtoTasdik or your use of it more than slightly, we tell you by e-mail in good time before it takes effect, with what changes, when it changes and your right to end the agreement. If you are a consumer, you can then end this agreement free of charge within 30 days of our message, or of the change if it comes later, unless you can keep using the unchanged service at no extra cost.

If we close OtoTasdik or a main feature, we will tell you at least 30 days in advance so that you can download your data.

We recommend that you download a copy of your data from time to time. In the web panel you can download the data of each car.

13. Liability

Consumers in the EU and the UK

We are liable without limit for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under product liability law, as far as a guarantee we have given reaches and wherever the law does not allow a limitation.

In other cases we are liable for slight negligence only if we breach an essential obligation. Essential obligations are those that make the proper provision of OtoTasdik possible in the first place and on which you can normally rely, in particular storing your records securely, keeping them available to you and protecting sealed records against changes. Our liability is then limited to the damage that was typical and foreseeable when you accepted these terms.

If you live in the UK: nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or for anything else that the law does not allow us to limit. We are responsible for loss that you suffer as a foreseeable result of our breach of these terms or of our failure to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for loss that was not foreseeable.

Workshops

The rules above also apply to workshops. In addition, unless we acted intentionally or with gross negligence, we are not liable to a workshop for lost profit, lost business or indirect loss, as far as the law allows. This does not apply to injury to life, body or health.

Content of others

Records, notes and ratings are the statements of the person or workshop that entered them. We are not responsible for their accuracy. This does not limit our liability for our own fault.

14. Ending the agreement, restrictions and deletion

  • You can end this agreement at any time by deleting your account in the app (Settings) or in the web panel (Settings, Privacy). Our account deletion page explains what is deleted and what is kept. To close a workshop, write to destek@ototasdik.com.
  • We can end this agreement with 30 days' notice for a valid reason, for example if we close OtoTasdik. We tell you the reason by e-mail. You will have time to download your data.
  • If you breach these terms, we can remove the content concerned, restrict your account or, if the breach is serious or repeated, close it. We tell you by e-mail which content or which part of your account is affected, the facts we rely on, the rule of these terms or of the law that the decision is based on, and how you can respond.
  • Before we restrict or close your account, we tell you the reason and give you the chance to respond, and we then decide again. If we remove content, we tell you afterwards, and you can still respond. We act first and tell you straight after only where an immediate risk requires it, for example to the security of OtoTasdik or of other people, or where the law requires it.
  • A person makes these decisions. The only automated check that can block content is the logo check in section 16.
  • To ask us to review a decision, write to destek@ototasdik.com. You can also go to court.

15. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms for a valid reason, for example new laws, court decisions or new features. If a change matters for you, we will tell you by e-mail at least 30 days before it takes effect and ask you to accept the new version in the app. If you do not accept it, you can delete your account. If you do not accept it and continuing under the old terms is not reasonable for us, we can end the agreement with 30 days' notice.

16. Reporting content, how we moderate and contacts under the Digital Services Act

OtoTasdik stores information that its users provide and shows some of it to the public, for example workshop pages with ratings and sale links. Under the EU Digital Services Act it is therefore a hosting service and, for workshop pages and ratings, an online platform. OtoTasdik is a micro enterprise, so the additional duties of online platforms in Articles 20 to 28 of that Act do not apply to it (Article 19).

  • Reporting content: if you think content on OtoTasdik is unlawful, write to hukuk@ototasdik.com. Give the exact link to the content, explain why you think it is unlawful, give your name and e-mail address and confirm that your report is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge. We confirm that we received it, look at it promptly, carefully and objectively, and tell you what we decided and how you can challenge the decision.
  • How we moderate: a person decides on reports, ratings, content and accounts. Workshop logos are checked automatically when they are uploaded: a logo that matches the logo of a car maker or a file that is not safe is blocked until a person has reviewed it. The mileage check (section 7) only adds a flag, and a person reviews it on request.
  • If we restrict content or an account, we proceed as described in section 14.
  • If we become aware of information that suggests a criminal offence involving a threat to the life or safety of a person, we inform the competent authorities.
  • Single point of contact for the authorities of the EU member states, the European Commission and the European Board for Digital Services: hukuk@ototasdik.com, in English, German or Turkish.
  • Single point of contact for users: destek@ototasdik.com or +90 545 204 97 48. A person answers.
  • Legal representative in the EU: we have not yet appointed a legal representative in the EU under Article 13 of the Digital Services Act. Until we do, authorities can reach us directly at hukuk@ototasdik.com or at our postal address in section 1.

17. Governing law and courts

These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Türkiye.

If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the rules of the law of the country where you have your habitual residence that cannot be departed from by agreement. In the EU this follows from Article 6(2) of the Rome I Regulation, and in the UK from the same rule as it applies in UK law. If you live in the United States, you keep the rights that the law of your state does not allow to be waived.

If you are a consumer and live in the EU or the UK, you can bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live, and we can bring proceedings against you only there.

For disputes with workshops, the courts competent for our place of residence in Türkiye have exclusive jurisdiction, as far as the law allows such an agreement. We can also bring proceedings in the courts of the place where the workshop is established.

18. Disputes

Please contact us first at destek@ototasdik.com. We will try to find a solution with you. This is not a condition for going to court.

We are neither obliged nor willing to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body.

The EU online dispute resolution platform was discontinued on 20 July 2025.

19. If you live in the United States

This section applies in addition if you live in the United States, to the extent the law of your state allows.

  • OtoTasdik is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not give any warranty that is not set out in these terms.
  • We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages. Our total liability for all claims connected with OtoTasdik is limited to USD 100.
  • Some states do not allow these limitations, so they may not apply to you. Nothing in this section limits liability that cannot be limited under the law of your state.

20. Other terms

  • We may transfer this agreement to a company that takes over OtoTasdik, for example a company set up for OtoTasdik. We will tell you in advance by e-mail. If you do not agree, you can end the agreement at any time by deleting your account.
  • If a provision of these terms is invalid, the rest stays valid.
  • These terms are available in English, German and Turkish with the same content. You conclude the agreement in the language that you use in the app when you accept these terms. If the versions differ, that version applies. If you are a consumer, you can rely on the version that is more favourable to you.
