Terms of Use
Last updated: August 2026
These Terms of Use govern the relationship between the individual operating the Dersapp platform at dersapp.com ("Dersapp") and the person using it ("User"). By registering for or using the Platform, you accept these terms.
1. What the Service Is
Dersapp is software that lets private tutors run their scheduling, student records, homework tracking, file sharing and lesson-fee bookkeeping in one place. Dersapp is not an educational institution. It does not teach, does not match tutors with students, and is not a party to the tutoring relationship. Everything about lesson content, fees, cancellation and delivery is between the tutor and the student or parent.
2. Account Types
Tutor: opens their own workspace and invites students. Student and Parent: join by invitation and pay nothing for their own use. The same email address can hold different roles in different workspaces. A role belongs to the pair of person and workspace, not to the person.
3. Account Security
The User is responsible for keeping their information accurate and their password confidential, and for everything done through their account. Tutor accounts must verify their email address. If you suspect unauthorised access, notify [email protected] immediately.
4. User Obligations
When using the Platform, the User agrees: • not to act contrary to applicable law, • not to upload another person's personal data unlawfully, and to process student and parent data only within the tutoring relationship, • not to upload content that infringes third-party intellectual property rights, • not to compromise the Platform's security, reverse-engineer it, or place excessive load on it by automated means, • not to rent out or transfer their account to third parties.
5. The Tutor's Data Responsibility
For the student and parent data they add to their own workspace, the tutor may be a data controller under Turkish data protection law (KVKK). Informing those students and parents, and obtaining explicit consent where required, is the tutor's responsibility. For that data Dersapp acts as a data processor on the tutor's behalf. See the Privacy Policy for details.
6. Content and Intellectual Property
Lesson notes, homework, files and similar content uploaded by the User remain the User's property. The User grants Dersapp a limited licence to store and process that content to the extent needed to provide the service. The Platform's software, interface, brand and design belong to Dersapp.
7. Storage Limit
Each workspace has a storage quota. Once it is full no new files can be uploaded; the tutor can free space by deleting files from the Files screen. The current quota is shown on the Settings screen.
8. Fees
The Platform is currently free and no payment details are requested. Student and parent accounts are free in all cases. If a paid subscription is introduced, its price, payment terms, renewal and cancellation conditions will be governed by a Pre-Information Form and a Distance Sales Agreement published separately, and presented for your approval at the payment step. No charge will be made without that approval.
9. Suspension and Termination
Dersapp reserves the right to suspend or terminate an account in case of serious breach of these terms. In that event the User is given a reasonable opportunity to retrieve their data. The User may close their account at any time from the Settings screen. On closure, identifying details are anonymised; records subject to a statutory retention obligation are kept for the required period.
10. Availability and Limitation of Liability
Dersapp provides the service "as is". Temporary interruptions may occur due to maintenance, updates or technical faults. Dersapp is not liable for damages arising from the User's own fault, the acts of third parties, or force majeure. This limitation does not affect rights that cannot be limited under consumer law. The User accepts responsibility for keeping their own copy of data that is critical to them.
11. Changes
Dersapp may update these terms. Material changes are notified by email at least 30 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the Platform after that notice constitutes acceptance. A User who does not accept may close their account.
12. Governing Law and Disputes
These terms are governed by Turkish law, and Turkish courts and enforcement offices have jurisdiction. Users who qualify as consumers may apply to the Consumer Arbitration Committees or Consumer Courts within the monetary thresholds published annually by the Ministry of Trade.
