However, as a "Hosting Provider" within the meaning of Law No. 5651 on the Regulation of Publications on the Internet and Combating Crimes Committed Through Such Publications, OG has no obligation to review user-generated content (comments, player profile descriptions, etc.) in advance.

3. Notice Procedure (Notice and Takedown)

Under Articles 9 and 9/A of Law No. 5651 and Additional Article 4 of Law No. 5846 (FSEK), you must submit your notice of unlawful content in writing. Your notice must include all of the following information:

• Documents showing rights ownership (copyright registration, trademark registration, contract, court decision, etc., if any)
• Declaration: a signed statement such as "I declare in good faith that the information provided in this notice is accurate and that the content in question infringes my rights or rights under my authority"

3.2. Applications Through a Representative

For applications made by a representative on behalf of the rights holder, a power of attorney or letter of authorization must be attached.

3.3. Incomplete Notices

Notices missing the information above may not be taken into consideration. In the case of an incomplete notice, we will inform you of the missing information wherever possible and ask you to complete it.

Writing "Notice of Unlawful Content" in the email subject line helps speed up the process.

5. Review Times

OG assesses incoming notices within the following time frames:

If the notice is found to be justified, OG may apply whichever of the following options is appropriate: removing the content, blocking access, editing it or mediating communication between the person making the notice and the content creator.

6. Counter-Notice (Content Creator's Right to Object)

A User who believes their content was unjustly removed may send a counter-notice to [email protected] within 15 days of being notified of the decision, including the following information:

• Full name and contact information of the person submitting the counter-notice.
• The URL of the removed content and the nature of the content.
• A reasoned explanation of why no violation occurred.
• Documents relating to rights ownership, if any.
• A signed statement such as "I declare that this statement is accurate and that the content was unjustly removed."

After reviewing the counter-notice, OG may republish the content, uphold the removal decision or refer the parties to the courts.

7. Repeated or Abusive Notices

When notices made by the same person or organization intentionally to mislead, in bad faith or to apply competitive pressure are detected:

• Subsequent applications by the person making the notice may be subject to stricter review.
• Where legal prosecution is warranted, a criminal complaint may be filed with the public prosecutor.
• Liability for compensation and legal responsibility lies with the person making the notice (Turkish Penal Code No. 5237 Article 267, defamation by false accusation; Turkish Code of Obligations No. 6098 Article 49, liability for tortious acts).

The accounts of Users who repeatedly commit violations on the Site are suspended or closed in accordance with Article 4.4 of the "Site Terms of Use."

8. International Rights Holders (DMCA)

Rights holders based in the European Union or the United States may also submit content removal requests in English. For US-based rights holders, requests under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) are answered in line with the DMCA Takedown Notice format; however, this process runs parallel to the notice procedure above, which also applies under Turkish law, and the laws of the Republic of Türkiye apply.

9. Recourse to the Courts

A notice under this page does not replace legal action. Rights holders and content creators always have the right to apply directly to a Criminal Judgeship of Peace (under Article 9 of Law No. 5651) or to intellectual property, commercial and general courts. Removal requests based on a court decision are implemented immediately.
