Legere Open Edu is provided as a free academic service.

These liability limitations are void to the extent they conflict with mandatory provisions of applicable Turkish law. Your statutory rights are reserved.

These terms of service may be updated as needed. Significant changes will be communicated to your registered email address and announced on the platform. Your continued use of the platform after updates constitutes acceptance of the changes.

These terms of service are governed by the laws of the Republic of Turkey. The courts of the Republic of Turkey have jurisdiction over any disputes.
