On 25 February 2018, at the IT Law Summit organised by ELSA Ankara, Vircon Legal co-founder Erdem Mümtaz Hacıpaşaoğlu gave a talk titled “IT Law from the Perspective of Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Applications.”
The documents a software company actually lives on
For a technology startup, technology law shows up as a small set of documents that determine what the business may do. Terms of service define what the customer bought and what happens when the service fails; a privacy notice describes the data flows the company is prepared to defend; and the vendor contracts underneath — hosting, payment, analytics — decide who bears the loss when something breaks upstream. Written late, these become a description of what the company already does wrong.
Service levels, limitation of liability and data-processing terms are where negotiations concentrate once enterprise customers appear, and each has a counterpart in the company’s own supplier stack. Consistency between the two is what makes commitments deliverable. Underneath all of it sits the KVKK, with processor obligations flowing down the chain by contract. See Technology Law and KVKK & GDPR Compliance.
