Refund & Cancellation Policy.
Refund, withdrawal rights, payment reversal procedure and consumer complaint channels for d-lens, d-reach and B2B services. Prepared in compliance with Turkish Consumer Protection Law No. 6502 and the Distance Sales Regulation.
// table of contents
// 01Scope & Definitions
This policy applies to all digital services provided by DATA ANALYTICS TEKNOLOJİ REKLAM A.Ş. ("d-dat"): d-lens (ad audit agent SaaS), d-reach (WhatsApp bulk messaging platform SaaS) and B2B services (ad operations, media planning, strategy consulting).
This policy should be read together with the Terms of Service. In case of conflict, the Terms of Service prevail.
| Consumer | A natural or legal person acting for non-commercial, non-professional purposes (Law No. 6502, Art. 3) |
| Distance contract | A contract entered into without the parties being physically present in the same location |
| Right of withdrawal | The consumer's right to withdraw from the contract without justification and without paying any penalty |
| Digital content / service | Computer programs, applications, games, music, video, text and similar data produced and delivered in digital form |
// 02Right of Withdrawal (General)
Users with consumer status have, pursuant to the Distance Sales Regulation, a 14 (fourteen) day right of withdrawal from the date the contract is established, without justification and without paying any penalty.
However, in the case of digital content services, under Article 15/1-(g) of the Distance Sales Regulation, the right of withdrawal expires when performance of the service begins with the consumer's consent. Product-specific sections below explain this exception.
// 03d-lens Refund Terms
3.1 Free Trial
- The 7-day free trial of d-lens does not require credit card information and no payment is charged
- During the trial, the user can cancel their account with one click via the panel
- When the trial expires, modules close automatically — there is no automatic conversion to a Pro plan
- The trial period functions as the right-of-withdrawal period under the Law
3.2 Pro Plan Conversion & Withdrawal
- Conversion to a Pro plan requires the user's express and active consent
- Before charging the Pro plan, the user is presented with the checkbox "I acknowledge that my right of withdrawal will expire when the service begins"
- Once consent is given and payment is charged, the right of withdrawal expires (Regulation Art. 15/1-g)
- Pro plan pricing: $199 USD monthly or $179 USD/month annually (annual upfront billing)
3.3 Cancellation & End-of-Period Termination
- The Pro subscription can be cancelled anytime via the panel
- Upon cancellation, the service ends at the end of the billed period; no additional charges are made
- Monthly subscription: cancellation takes effect at the end of the current month
- Annual subscription: cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid year; no refund is issued for the remaining portion of the upfront payment (because the right of withdrawal has been waived)
3.4 Consumer Rights Reserved
The above rules do not limit the user's rights arising from Law No. 6502 on Consumer Protection, the Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK), or any other applicable legislation. In case of defective performance (e.g. the product not functioning as promised, modules described as available being inaccessible), the user's statutory remedies — full refund, partial refund, free repair, or price reduction — remain reserved within legal time limits.
// 04d-reach Refund Terms
4.1 Per-Message Pricing
- d-reach operates on a per-message basis at 1.5 TL per message; there is no fixed monthly subscription fee
- The user loads prepaid credit via the panel; per-message charges are deducted from this balance
- Meta-defined "conversation" fees may apply additionally (shown in real time in the panel)
4.2 Free Trial
- d-reach offers a 7-day free trial (message volume limited within Meta's published limits)
- The trial period functions as the right-of-withdrawal period
4.3 Unused Credit Refund
- If the user wishes to close their account and request a refund of unused credit, they can contact info@d-dat.com
- Unused credit is refunded in full; no per-message charges may have been deducted from the refunded portion
- Account usage history (number of messages sent, success rate, Meta fees) is shared during the review
4.4 Sent Messages
- Successfully delivered messages are not refundable (the service has been performed)
- For messages rejected by Meta, bounced, or undelivered, automatic credit reversal is performed (visible in the panel)
- No refund is issued for user-caused issues such as incorrect sending, content errors, or recipient list errors
4.5 Post-Closure
- When the account is closed, the recipient list and message history are deleted within 30 days
- During this period, the user may request a data export
// 05B2B Service Refunds
B2B services (ad operations, media planning, strategy consulting, MMM, attribution infrastructure setup) are governed by a separate Service Agreement. These services:
- Are generally formed between legal entities (B2B); they do not qualify as consumer transactions
- Withdrawal rights are subject to the terms specified in the Service Agreement
- Cancellation, termination and refund procedures are defined in the "Service Term and Termination" clause of the relevant agreement
- For services billed on a monthly retainer basis, upon termination notice the service ends at the end of the current month; partial refunds are not issued
For details, you can request a copy of the relevant agreement at info@d-dat.com.
// 06Exceptions to the Right of Withdrawal
Under Article 15 of the Distance Sales Regulation, the right of withdrawal may not be exercised in the following cases:
- Goods/services prepared in line with the user's requests or personal needs that are not suitable for return
- Services whose performance has begun with the consumer's prior consent and is completed before the withdrawal period ends — d-lens Pro and sent d-reach messages fall within this scope
- Digital content not delivered on a tangible medium — contracts for digital content delivered via download or online access (Regulation Art. 15/1-g)
- Delivery of newspapers, magazines, and similar periodicals, except those provided under a subscription contract
// 07Refund Procedure
7.1 Submission Channels
- Email: info@d-dat.com — writing "Refund request" in the subject line is sufficient
- Panel: "Account → Cancel / Refund Request" menu in the d-lens / d-reach panel (for Pro members)
- Mail: Maslak Mah. Eski Büyükdere Cad. No: 21 İç Kapı No: 1 Sarıyer / İstanbul
- KEP: mesut.sefizade@hs01.kep.tr
7.2 Information to Include
- Name, surname (or company name)
- Email address registered to the account
- Product the refund is requested for (d-lens / d-reach / B2B)
- Date and amount of the charge (visible on the invoice)
- Reason for the refund request (withdrawal / defective performance / unused credit / other)
- The card/IBAN for the refund (payments made via PayTR are automatically returned to the original payment card; no additional information is needed)
// 08Refund Timing & Method
8.1 Review Period
- d-dat reviews and resolves refund requests within at most 14 (fourteen) business days
- For approved refund requests, payment reversal is initiated within the 14-day statutory period (Law No. 6502, Art. 48/4)
8.2 Refund Method
- Refunds are processed using the same payment method used for the original transaction (PayTR credit card → refund to the same card)
- PayTR-processed refunds typically reflect on the cardholder's bank account within 3-14 business days, depending on the issuing bank
- The refunded amount is the gross amount paid; bank commissions and currency exchange differences are not d-dat's responsibility
- For payments charged in USD, refunds may be calculated using the TCMB (Central Bank of Türkiye) buying rate on the refund date for TL conversion
8.3 Refund Amount Calculation
- Full refund within the withdrawal period: gross charged amount
- Unused d-reach credit refund: full unused balance
- Refund for defective performance: full refund, partial refund, or free repair at the user's choice
// 09Billing Errors & Outages
In the following cases, the user may request a refund regardless of application deadlines:
- Duplicate charge: Accidentally charging the same subscription twice — the difference is refunded within 5 business days
- Post-cancellation charge: Subscription renewal despite cancellation — the charged amount is fully refunded
- System outage: d-lens or d-reach being inaccessible for more than 24 hours — proportional time-based refund is issued
- Non-user-caused data loss: Within legal limits, payment refund or credit compensation is provided
These situations are treated as defective performance and are independent of the user's right of withdrawal.
