No delivery of goods or performance of services is committed by the Association in return for the donation; a donation is a unilateral, gratuitous transaction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl\">\n<p><span class=\"n\">2.2<\/span><strong>Dues.<\/strong>\u00a0Pursuant to Article 70 of the Turkish Civil Code No. 4721, members&#8217; obligation to pay dues is regulated by the association&#8217;s bylaws. Dues are not the consideration for a purchase transaction, but an obligation arising from the membership relationship and based on the bylaws. Dues amounts and payment periods are determined within the framework of the general assembly decision and the provisions of the bylaws.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl\">\n<p><span class=\"n\">2.3<\/span><strong>Payment does not confer membership rights.<\/strong>\u00a0Making a dues or donation payment via the website does not constitute association membership on its own. Membership is acquired upon fulfilling the conditions required by the bylaws and upon the approval of the written application by the board of directors. Pursuant to Article 64 of the Turkish Civil Code, the board of directors decides on the membership application within thirty days at most and notifies the applicant of the result in writing. In case of rejection of the application, the amount paid shall be refunded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"no\">3<\/span>Legal basis for the absence of the right of withdrawal<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cl\">\n<p><span class=\"n\">3.1<\/span><strong>In terms of consumer legislation.<\/strong>\u00a0Pursuant to Article 2 of Law No. 6502 on the Protection of the Consumer, the Law covers all types of consumer transactions and consumer-oriented practices. In Article 3\/1-l of the Law, a consumer transaction is defined as all kinds of contracts and legal transactions established in goods or services markets between consumers and natural or legal persons acting for commercial or professional purposes, including public legal entities, or acting on their behalf or account.<\/p>\n<p>Dues and donations are not transactions established in a goods or services market that entail reciprocal consideration. Therefore, they are not considered consumer transactions; the\u00a0<strong>Regulation on Distance Contracts issued pursuant to Article 48 of the Law and the fourteen-day right of withdrawal stipulated in Article 9 of this Regulation do not apply to these payments.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl\">\n<p><span class=\"n\">3.2<\/span><strong>In terms of the scope provisions of the Regulation on Distance Contracts.<\/strong>\u00a0Pursuant to Article 2\/2-j of the Regulation, donations within the scope of the Law on the Collection of Aid No. 2860 dated 23\/6\/1983 are excluded from the scope of the Regulation. In addition, pursuant to Article 3 of Law No. 2860, donations and aid to be made to associations by their members and other persons in accordance with their own statutes, as well as revenues generated by associations from their own resources, are outside the scope of the said Law. In both cases, the distance contract regime and the right of withdrawal do not apply.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl\">\n<p><span class=\"n\">3.3<\/span><strong>In terms of the law of obligations.<\/strong>\u00a0Pursuant to Article 289 of the Turkish Code of Obligations, a manual gift (hand-to-hand donation) is established upon transfer into the assets of the donee; establishment and performance occur simultaneously. It is not possible for the donor to revoke a completed donation by a unilateral declaration. The donor&#8217;s right to revoke the donation is reserved should any of the exhaustive grounds set forth in Article 295 of the Turkish Code of Obligations materialize (the donee committing a serious crime, substantially breaching obligations arising from the law, or failing to perform the charge in a conditional gift without a justified reason).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl\">\n<p><span class=\"n\">3.4<\/span><strong>In terms of the law of associations.<\/strong>\u00a0Pursuant to Article 70 of the Turkish Civil Code, a member who resigns or is expelled from the association is obligated to pay the dues for the period of their membership. In light of this provision, membership dues accrued and collected during the membership period cannot be refunded even in the event of resignation from membership. Pursuant to Article 68 of the same Law, a member who leaves or is expelled from the association cannot claim any rights on the association&#8217;s assets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl\">\n<p><span class=\"n\">3.5<\/span>For the reasons stated above, there is\u00a0<strong>no fourteen-day right of withdrawal<\/strong>\u00a0for membership fee and donation payments made through this page, and no refunds are issued for completed payments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2><span class=\"no\">4<\/span>Standing payment instructions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cl\">\n<p><span class=\"n\">4.1<\/span>A person setting up a recurring (monthly or annually recurring) membership fee or donation instruction <strong>may cancel the instruction prospectively at any time and without stating any justification.<\/strong>\u00a0The cancellation request can be submitted via the member account on the website or by sending an email to\u00a0<strong>info@majistraleczacilari.org.tr<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cl\">\n<p><span class=\"n\">4.2<\/span>If the cancellation request is received at least two business days prior to the next charge date, it shall take effect starting from that period.
