Legal
Terms of Service
Review-stage terms for accounts, listings, private offers, communications and digital services.
Who operates Collectorium
These Terms form an agreement between you and Muhammet Emre Aydın, who operates Collectorium from Türkiye ("Collectorium", "we", "us"). Questions about these Terms may be sent to contact@collectorium.co. The seller or payment provider responsible for a paid transaction, together with the channel-specific transaction terms and mandatory pre-contract information, is identified before payment.
Collectorium is the listing platform for physical objects whose context matters. These Terms cover the website, accounts, seller tools, messages, Offer Rooms (earlier model) and Collectorium-owned digital services. Feature-specific rules and checkout disclosures also apply where shown.
Eligibility and accounts
You must have legal capacity to accept these Terms under the law that applies to you. If you act for an organisation, you confirm that you may bind it. A person who lacks that capacity may use Collectorium only through a parent, guardian or other lawful representative where permitted.
Provide accurate information, protect your credentials and use your own account. Impersonation, credential sharing, automated registration and creating another account to evade a restriction, entitlement, market or rate limit are prohibited.
Some actions require a confirmed email, an eligible home market, a qualifying membership, a completed digital-service entitlement or an account without a relevant restriction. A visible control never overrides the server-side eligibility decision.
Listings and seller duties
The seller is responsible for the legality, accuracy and currency of the title, description, condition, provenance, certificates, price, location, images, availability and delivery information. The seller must own the object or otherwise have authority to offer it and must hold the rights needed to publish every image and statement.
Unless Collectorium expressly labels a fact as reviewed, listing information is the seller's statement. Publication, a badge, editorial placement, AI assistance or paid visibility is not an appraisal, authentication, title check, investment opinion or guarantee of value.
- Do not list stolen, counterfeit, prohibited or unlawfully exported objects.
- Disclose material damage, restoration, missing parts, reproductions and meaningful uncertainty.
- Correct material inaccuracies and close unavailable listings without delay.
Transactions are between users
Collectorium is not the buyer or seller of a listed object and does not collect its sale price. It does not provide object checkout, escrow, buyer protection, shipping, customs clearance, insurance, appraisal, title transfer, seller payout or object-return processing.
Buyer and seller decide whether to transact, perform their own due diligence and agree payment, delivery, insurance, taxes, customs, authenticity checks and returns. Collectorium cannot refund money paid directly to a seller or guarantee either party's performance.
Communication and conduct
Use messages and participation tools for legitimate questions and transaction preparation. Harassment, threats, discrimination, spam, phishing, malware, deceptive links, manipulation of platform signals and requests for passwords or complete payment-card details are prohibited.
Messages are not public. Authorised personnel may access limited records when reasonably necessary for support, safety, a report, legal compliance or service integrity, subject to role-based access and the Privacy Notice.
Collectorium digital services
Memberships, Offer Room (earlier model) entry or opening and listing-visibility tools are Collectorium digital services. They are separate from the listed object and never become a deposit, part-payment or escrow balance for it.
Before payment, the checkout must identify the payment provider and show the service, term, currency, taxes, total, cancellation or withdrawal information and the contact details required for that channel. Web checkout is currently unavailable until a payment provider has approved the relevant services and its integration is operational; A payment provider must not be described as Collectorium's Merchant of Record unless the applicable agreement and checkout disclosure establish that role. Where app-store billing is presented, the store's transaction terms and disclosures apply. These Terms continue to govern use of the Collectorium account and any delivered entitlement.
Access begins only when authoritative payment evidence is reconciled. An incomplete checkout or provider delay does not prove entitlement.
Offer Market
This section describes the new product flow; it is not a legal classification or payment-provider approval of the model. The product flow has no public offer race, competing-price ranking or automatic winner selection. Earlier records retain their terms.
Explore the object and send an offer with clear terms. Let the seller consider it; begin a conversation by mutual acceptance.
Your amount and delivery choices are not shown to other buyers. There is no rival price, leaderboard or automatic winner.
The seller may decline, invite you on your terms or send a private counteroffer. You can revise once before the seller first opens your dossier.
Accepting an invitation or counteroffer opens a private conversation for that listing. Declining a counteroffer does not withdraw your original offer.
Collectorium does not collect the object's price. Opening a conversation is not an automatic sale, title transfer or authentication; the legal effects of the parties' statements must be considered separately.
Moderation, reports and appeals
Collectorium may investigate content or conduct, request evidence, reduce visibility, pause or remove a listing, preserve relevant records, restrict a feature or suspend an account where reasonably necessary for safety, legal compliance or service integrity. A report is a review signal, not proof by itself.
Where an appeal route is available, the affected person may provide context through the signed-in Trust surface. Decisions are scoped and reasoned where appropriate; urgent legal or security action may occur before notice if advance notice would create risk or be unlawful.
Content and intellectual property
You keep ownership of content you lawfully submit. You grant Collectorium a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, resize, format, display and distribute that content only as needed to operate, secure, promote and improve the service and your listing or storefront.
The licence ends when content is deleted, except for limited backup, evidence, legal-hold and dispute records.
Original brand elements, interface design, text, visual composition and software elements offered under the Collectorium name and owned by the operator are protected. User content and open-source or other third-party materials remain subject to their respective rights holders and licences. Except as these Terms, the applicable licence or law permits, protected elements may not be copied, modified or used to imply Collectorium affiliation or endorsement.
Suspension and account closure
You may stop using the service and use the available account-closure route. Collectorium may suspend or end access for material or repeated breach, security risk, legal requirement, payment reversal or service discontinuation, with proportionate notice where reasonably possible.
Closure does not erase records that must remain for security, fraud prevention, disputes, accounting, legal obligations or another person's rights. Those records follow the Privacy Notice and applicable law.
Availability, warranties and liability
Collectorium aims to provide a secure and useful service but does not promise uninterrupted availability, a particular discovery position, a successful inquiry, an Offer Room (earlier model) outcome or completion of an object transaction. Maintenance, provider failure, abuse controls and legal restrictions may affect availability.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Collectorium is responsible only for direct loss caused by its breach of these Terms or legal duty. It is not responsible for user statements, off-platform arrangements, indirect loss or circumstances outside reasonable control. Nothing excludes liability or consumer, privacy or other rights that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.
Changes, governing law and disputes
We may update these Terms for legal, security, product or operational reasons. Material changes are communicated in a clear form and, where law requires, take effect only after notice or renewed acceptance.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. Mandatory consumer, data-protection and conflict-of-law protections remain available where they cannot lawfully be displaced. Consumers may use the competent consumer arbitration committee or consumer court without first contacting Support; mandatory mediation rules, where applicable, remain unaffected. Other disputes remain subject to competent courts under mandatory jurisdiction and venue rules.
