These terms govern the use of the Alpa Player app and the alpaplayer.com website. The service is provided by Alpa Player (a non-profit project run by “Alpa Yazılım”), Mardin, Türkiye, e-mail: info@alpayazilim.com. Anyone who downloads, installs or uses the app, or accesses the panel or the website, is deemed to have accepted these terms.

1. Nature of the service

Alpa Player is a general-purpose video player (similar to VLC) that plays media sources added by the user. Alpa Yazılım does not provide, sell, host or broadcast content and does not supply lists or accounts for content (see the Legal Notice). Institutions and panel operators are also offered a free management panel; the panel pairs devices with the lists and video links that users obtained themselves, and allows institution content to be uploaded and users and devices to be managed.

2. The user’s obligations

3. Lawfulness of content and responsibility

The user, panel operator or institution that adds, uploads or assigns to a device any list, account, link or content in the app, the panel or the website is solely responsible for its lawfulness (including copyright, licences, personality rights and broadcasting legislation) and for holding the necessary rights. Panel operators and institutions are also responsible for the assignments they make on behalf of their users; they may not offer, sell or share unlawful content with users. Alpa Yazılım does not see or monitor this content, is not obliged to check it, and cannot be held liable for damage arising from it.

4. Institution accounts and panels

The institution account is free of charge and limited to the number of students / staff and screens defined in the panel. The institution and panel operator are responsible for the content they upload to the panel, the accounts they give to their users and the lists they assign to devices. When an institution account is closed, access to its content stops; institution data is deleted after a reasonable period, without prejudice to the legal retention records in section 7.

5. Intellectual property

The Alpa Player software, its name, logo (the Alpa Yazılım tiles) and design belong to Alpa Yazılım. The user is granted only a limited, non-transferable right of use for personal or internal institutional use.

6. Use in different countries

Alpa Player can be used in several countries. Users, panel operators and institutions must comply with the legislation (copyright, broadcasting, internet, data protection, tax, etc.) of the country in which they are located and from which they access or offer content. Determining whether a source is lawful in the country of use is the user’s responsibility. Alpa Yazılım provides the service subject to Turkish law and may restrict or suspend the service in certain countries where local legislation so requires.

7. Hosting provider status, records kept and legal retention

Alpa Yazılım is a hosting provider within the meaning of Law No. 5651 with respect to the information and content that users enter or upload on the panel and alpaplayer.com. In this capacity it keeps the following records of operations on the panel and the site: time of the operation, institution / panel name, the user who performed it, IP address, browser information, MAC address, device ID / key, the assigned list link and access details (stored encrypted). These records are kept for 2 years even if the related device, list, user or account is deleted or closed, and are deleted or destroyed when that period ends. Only a person authorised by Alpa Yazılım and, upon a legal request, competent authorities can access the records; they are not used for advertising or marketing. For details see the Privacy Policy and the KVKK Notice.

8. Reporting unlawful content (notice and takedown) and cooperation with authorities

As a hosting provider, Alpa Yazılım is not obliged to check the content entered by users; however, when it is properly notified in accordance with the legislation that content is unlawful, it removes the content, list assignment or access concerned (notice and takedown). To report unlawful content or an infringement of copyright / intellectual property or personality rights, send the following to info@alpayazilim.com:

Decisions of courts, the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK) and other competent authorities are implemented immediately, and the relevant records are shared with competent authorities in response to official requests that comply with the legislation. Liability arising from an unfounded or bad-faith notice rests with the notifier.

9. Limitation of liability

The app is provided “as is”. Alpa Yazılım is not responsible for the availability, quality or lawfulness of the sources added by users. The service is provided free of charge; Alpa Yazılım’s liability is limited to the extent permitted by applicable law.
