Summary (not binding): This agreement is for dealers who accept Hipocard codes as a payment/activation method on their own platforms. The player redeems the code on your site; you verify and activate the code via the API and deliver the product/balance; in return, your settlement is credited to your wallet. A dealership is not a consumer transaction; material commercial changes will be notified to you in advance.
ARTICLE 1 — PARTIES AND SCOPE
1.1. This Hipocard Acceptance Dealer Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into between HİPOPOTAMYA BİLİŞİM LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Türkiye (the "Company"), and the natural or legal person whose acceptance-dealership application has been approved by the Company (the "Dealer").
1.2. Model: Hipocard is a digital gift code generated by the Company and acquired by players (Hipocard Terms). The Dealer accepts Hipocard as a payment/activation method on its own platform (a game/digital product site): the player redeems the code on the Dealer's platform; the Dealer verifies and activates the code through the Company's API and, in return, delivers its own product or balance to the player.
1.3. The Dealer is not a consumer; transactions under this Agreement are commercial in nature, and the protections specific to consumer transactions under Consumer Protection Law No. 6502 do not apply.
ARTICLE 2 — APPLICATION, APPROVAL AND VERIFICATION
2.1. The dealership commences upon accurate and complete submission of the application form, provision of the requested information and documents (including, for legal entities, the trade name, tax office/number and authorised-signatory details) and the Company's approval. The Company may reject an application without stating reasons.
2.2. The Company may impose additional verification, collateral or preconditions on the basis of its risk and regulatory assessment.
ARTICLE 3 — API ACCESS AND SECURITY
3.1. The API key and secret key (api key/secret) allocated to the Dealer are confidential; they may not be shared with or transferred to third parties. The Dealer is responsible for the security of the keys and for all transactions carried out with them; upon any suspected leak, the Company must be notified immediately and the keys are rotated.
3.2. API access may be restricted to the IP addresses notified by the Dealer; the Dealer keeps its IP list up to date via the panel.
3.3. The Company may temporarily suspend access in the event of API misuse, abnormal traffic or a security risk. The technical documentation and rate limits are determined by the Company and may be updated.
3.4. Activation principles: The Dealer carries out activation solely through the API and solely on the basis of a genuine player request; it is obliged to deliver the promised product/balance immediately to the player for whom it activated the code. Player claims relating to products not delivered after activation are the Dealer's responsibility.
3.5. The code inquiry/verification tools made available to the Dealer may be used solely for its own operations; inquiries are logged together with IP and device information for security purposes; abnormal inquiry volume may lead to access restrictions.
ARTICLE 4 — SETTLEMENT, INVOICING AND PAYMENT
4.1. Upon successful activation of a code, the settlement calculated on the value of the code according to the Dealer's commission category is credited to the Dealer's Wallet as Withdrawable or Pending Balance. Pending Balance converts into Withdrawable Balance once the announced holding period/conditions have been completed. The activation records (code, player identifier, IP, time) form the basis of reconciliation.
4.2. The balance and withdrawals are subject to the Wallet and Balance Terms; the withdrawal account must be registered in the Dealer's own name (for legal entities, in the company's name).
4.3. Invoicing: The Company's invoice for its intermediation/service fee is issued monthly and on a consolidated basis, as at the last day of the relevant calendar month. The parties issue the documents required by the tax legislation applicable to them electronically. Documentation vis-à-vis the Dealer's own customers rests exclusively with the Dealer.
4.4. Suspicious codes and cancellations: Codes whose price has not been collected, that bear signs of forgery or fraud, or that were acquired by unlawful means may be cancelled or blocked by the Company. No settlement accrues for a code cancelled before activation; settlements relating to codes found to be fraudulent after activation may, depending on the outcome of the investigation, be set off against the Dealer's balance; in cases where the Dealer is without fault, the parties cooperate towards an equitable resolution.
4.5. Excess settlements arising from duplicate activation or system error are, upon detection, set off against the Dealer's balance, and the Dealer is informed.
ARTICLE 5 — GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE DEALER
5.1. The Dealer acts in its own name and for its own account on its own platform and vis-à-vis its customers; collection, documentation, consumer rights and tax obligations rest exclusively with the Dealer.
5.2. The Dealer may not use, or allow the use of, the systems for unlawful purposes; it shall not process transactions bearing signs of fraud and shall report suspicious situations to the Company.
5.3. The Dealer may use the Company's trademarks only for the ordinary promotion of the dealership relationship in force and in accordance with the Company's brand guidelines; upon termination of the relationship, such use ceases.
5.4. The Dealer processes the player data it handles during the activation process solely for the purpose of performance and in compliance with the legislation (Privacy Policy and KVKK Information Notice).
ARTICLE 6 — SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION
6.1. The Company may suspend or terminate the dealership in the event of breach of the Agreement, a security risk, a legal requirement or a decision of a competent authority; where possible, the reasons are communicated. The Dealer may terminate the Agreement at any time on 15 days' notice.
6.2. Upon termination, balance rights arising from completed activations are preserved and are paid in accordance with the Wallet and Balance Terms; amounts subject to an ongoing investigation may be held until the process is concluded.
ARTICLE 7 — AMENDMENTS
7.1. The Company may amend this Agreement and the commercial terms. Material changes to settlement/commission rates, fees or the provisions of the Agreement are notified at least 15 days before they take effect, by e-mail to the Dealer's registered e-mail address. A Dealer who does not accept a change may terminate the Agreement without compensation up to the effective date; continued use constitutes acceptance. Mandatory changes required by law or for security reasons may take effect immediately.
ARTICLE 8 — CONFIDENTIALITY, EVIDENCE AND JURISDICTION
8.1. The parties keep confidential the commercial information they learn within the scope of the relationship.
8.2. In any dispute, the Company's system, API and log records constitute conclusive evidence pursuant to Article 193 of the Turkish Code of Civil Procedure. This Agreement is governed by Turkish law; the Courts and Enforcement Offices of Gaziantep have jurisdiction.
ARTICLE 9 — ENTRY INTO FORCE
9.1. The Agreement enters into force upon approval of the dealership application. Matters not regulated herein are governed by the User Agreement and the Applicable Legislation.
