Terms of Service
1. Who we are and what these terms cover
u2aiinvest.com is operated by U2 AI Studio Teknoloji A.S. and presents U2 AI Invest, the venture arm through which the company invests its own equity. These terms govern your use of this website and the information published on it. They are not an agreement about any investment. Any investment, and any relationship that follows one, is governed by a separate written agreement signed by both parties, and where that agreement differs from this page, the agreement prevails. Nothing on this page is an offer within the meaning of Article 8 of the Turkish Code of Obligations, and no contract arises from reading it or from sending an application through it. The site carries no purchase, subscription or online acceptance step; contact and any agreement happen by email, telephone or a meeting.
2. The nature of what we do and its capital markets limits
U2 AI Invest invests the company's own equity in joint stock companies that are not publicly held. Under Article 2(1) of Capital Markets Law No. 6362, share issues by such companies that are not offered to the public fall outside the scope of that Law. We do not manage assets or money belonging to any third party, we do not pool capital, and we do not collect funds from the public, from investors or through any platform. We do not carry out portfolio management under Article 37(1)(ç) or investment advice under Article 37(1)(d) of Law No. 6362, nor any other investment service or activity listed in Article 37, nor the ancillary services listed in Article 38, including capital markets consultancy, wealth management and financial planning. Under Article 39(1) those activities may only be performed by authorised investment firms with permission from the Capital Markets Board. We hold no such permission and perform no activity requiring one. We do not hold an individual participation investor licence and do not use that title, and we are neither a venture capital fund nor a venture capital company. Nothing published here is investment advice, a recommendation, an offer of securities or a solicitation, and past investments are not an indication of any future result. Our review of a company is a commercial and technical assessment. It is not an audit, an assurance engagement or a sustainability audit within the meaning of Decree Law No. 660 and the related regulations, and it produces no audit report or audit opinion. We give no legal, tax or accounting opinion of any kind. Where instruments such as a term sheet or a convertible instrument are mentioned in conversation, they are described in general terms only and you should have your own lawyer and your own licensed professional confirm anything that affects you before you act on it.
3. Applications, review and confidentiality
The form on this site is for companies seeking investment and for institutions proposing to co-invest or to run a programme together. Sending an application places no obligation on either side, gives no priority, and creates no expectation that an investment will follow. Material you send is kept within the review team and handled with care, but it does not become legally confidential unless a written non-disclosure agreement has been signed by both parties before it was sent. We operate fourteen brands of our own and invest in others, so we may already be working on, or may in future work on, a product, market or approach that resembles the one described in an application, independently and whether or not we saw it. Nothing in the review process restricts our right to do so. Send what is needed to explain the problem, the team and the traction, and withhold trade secrets, source code and unpublished technical detail unless and until an agreement is in place. If you want one signed before a deeper review, tell us and we will consider it. We may decline an application without giving reasons and we may stop a review at any stage.
4. Conflicts of interest within the group
The same group both invests through U2 AI Invest and sells services through other brands, including u2aipoc.com and u2aiconsulting.com. This is a structural conflict of interest and we disclose it rather than manage it quietly. A portfolio company may buy services from a group company. Where that happens: the investment decision and the service engagement are taken by different people and recorded separately in writing; buying from the group is never a condition of an investment and declining has no effect on a review; the services are supplied on the same published commercial terms available to anyone else; and the portfolio company remains free to use any other supplier at any time. Where we hold an interest in a company that is also a supplier, a customer or a competitor of a company under review, we will say so before the review goes further. If we cannot manage a conflict in a way both sides accept, we will step back from the review rather than continue in it.
5. Intellectual property
The text, layout, design, code, marks and other material published on this site belong to U2 AI Studio Teknoloji A.S. or to their respective owners and may not be copied, republished or used commercially without written permission, beyond ordinary quotation with attribution. The names and marks of U2 brands may not be used to suggest an association, an endorsement or a partnership that does not exist. Sending an application transfers nothing: the intellectual property in your business plan, product and materials remains yours, and we acquire no licence to it beyond what is strictly necessary to read and internally review the application. Equally, no idea, plan or feedback exchanged during a review creates any joint ownership or entitlement to a share in any company. Portfolio company names and logos appear on this site only where written consent for that use exists, and they are removed when consent ends or the relationship ends.
6. Personal data
Personal data submitted through the contact and application forms is processed by U2 AI Studio Teknoloji A.S. as data controller under Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data. The Privacy Notice, linked from the form and from the footer, sets out the identity of the controller, the purposes of processing, the categories of recipients, the method and legal basis of collection under Article 10(1), the retention period, and your rights under Article 11 together with how to exercise them. We collect what the form asks for and no more, we use it to review your enquiry or application and to reply to it, and we do not sell it or use it for advertising. Where a transfer abroad is involved, it is made on the basis of the regime in Article 9 as amended by Law No. 7499, using the appropriate safeguards or the occasional exceptions provided there, since no adequacy decision has yet been issued by the Board for any country. This site uses strictly necessary cookies only, as described in the Cookie Policy.
7. Liability and the limits of this page
The content of this site is general information about how we invest and how to apply. It is not advice on any specific matter, and no decision about your company, your financing or your legal or financial position should be taken on the basis of it alone. We take care that what is published here is accurate at the time of publication and we correct errors promptly once we become aware of them, but we do not warrant that the site is complete, uninterrupted or free of error, and links to third party sites are provided for convenience without responsibility for their content. We do not attempt to exclude liability for our own gross fault or wilful misconduct: Article 115 of the Turkish Code of Obligations makes any such prior exclusion void, and no wording on this page should be read as trying. Where we work with a company, the allocation and limits of liability are set out in the signed agreement between us, negotiated as part of it, and it is that agreement rather than this page which governs them.
8. Changes, applicable law and contact
We may update these terms and the content of this site at any time; the version published here is the one in force, and material changes will be reflected in the text rather than announced separately. If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid, the remainder continues to apply. These terms and any dispute arising from the use of this site are governed by Turkish law, and the Ankara Courts and Enforcement Offices have jurisdiction. For any question about this page, including a request to correct or remove something published on it, write to [email protected]; the site has a named owner within the company and corrections are actioned without delay. The identity details of the company, including its trade registry and MERSIS numbers, registered office, board members and capital, are published in the footer of this site in accordance with Article 39(2) of the Turkish Commercial Code.
