Governing law

An NDA under Turkish law.

The clause Send NDA writes when you send from Turkey, in English and in Turkish, and what the law there changes in the rest of the agreement.

The clause

Governing Law and Jurisdiction, as it prints.

Every NDA sent under this law carries this clause. Where the recipient signs as a private individual, it adds a sentence that keeps the protections their own law gives them. Your country decides the governing law; the recipient's own country can only narrow the agreement.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of Türkiye, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement are governed by the same laws, to the extent the Parties may choose the law that applies to them. The courts of Türkiye have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. The Parties' choice of courts applies only so far as the law allows them to make it; where it does not, the ordinary rules of jurisdiction apply. Either Party may nevertheless seek injunctive or other interim relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

12. Uygulanacak Hukuk ve Yetkili Mahkeme.

İşbu Sözleşmeye uygulanacak hukuk, kanunlar ihtilafı kuralları dikkate alınmaksızın, şu yargı çevresinin hukukudur: Türkiye. İşbu Sözleşmeden doğan ya da bununla bağlantılı sözleşme dışı yükümlülüklere de, Tarafların bunlara uygulanacak hukuku seçebildiği ölçüde, aynı hukuk uygulanır. İşbu Sözleşmeden doğan ya da bununla bağlantılı her türlü uyuşmazlık bakımından münhasıran yetkili mahkemeler, şu yargı çevresinin mahkemeleridir: Türkiye. Tarafların yetki sözleşmesi, yalnızca hukukun Taraflara böyle bir sözleşme yapma imkânı tanıdığı ölçüde hüküm doğurur; tanımadığı hâlde genel yetki kuralları uygulanır. Bununla birlikte her bir Taraf, yetkili herhangi bir mahkemeden ihtiyati tedbir ya da diğer geçici hukuki koruma tedbirlerini talep edebilir.

What the law changes

What Turkish law does to the rest of the agreement.

This agreement carries no penalty for a breach. We offer one only where we have checked that the law gives it effect and in the shape that law asks for, so loss is proved and claimed in the ordinary way. Where a court holds a clause unenforceable, the agreement asks it to delete from that clause and never to rewrite it, which is what saves the rest of the agreement.

The law here asks for the agreement in Turkish, so it is issued in Turkish beside the English, inside the same document and under the one signature. Where they differ, the English is the text both sides are bound by.

This agreement is issued in Turkish as well as English
Turkish law requires a Turkish company to use Turkish in its dealings, and an English-only document is not taken into consideration in favour of the Turkish party. Both texts are in the document below. Where they differ, the English text is the one the Parties are bound by. Law 805 arts 1 to 4, 7.
