Article 7 | Duty of Disclosure and Accuracy of Information

The Applicant accepts that all information and documents provided through the website are accurate, complete, up to date and compatible with the purpose of the insurance application.

The Applicant is responsible for the accuracy of name, surname, date of birth, passport or identity information, nationality, travel document type, travel dates, policy period, email address, phone number and other application information.

Passport, identity, nationality or travel document information used in the insurance application must be compatible with the document information used during travel. If the application information is incorrect, incomplete or incompatible with the travel document, the policy may be deemed invalid, problems may arise at border or official procedure stages, the claims process may be adversely affected or the indemnity claim may be rejected.

The Applicant is obliged to make truthful declarations regarding health status, travel information, current risk, prior illness, purpose of travel, residence status or other matters that may be important for the policy and may affect the insurance company’s risk assessment.

If incorrect, incomplete, misleading or untrue declarations are made, the insurance company may cancel the policy, limit coverage, reject the indemnity claim or exercise other rights arising from legislation and policy terms.

Mark Sigorta may check the formal suitability or consistency of the application information; however, ultimate responsibility for the truthfulness, accuracy and currency of the information declared by the Applicant belongs to the Applicant.


Article 8 | Policy Issuance and Commencement of Coverage

Insurance coverage enters into force subject to collection of the premium or the first payment amount determined by the insurance company, issuance of the policy by the insurance company system and arrival of the inception date specified in the policy.

Payment alone may not mean that insurance coverage has started. For coverage to commence, the policy must be issued, a valid record must be created in the insurance company system and the conditions specified in the policy must be met.

Policy inception date, expiry date, policy period, maximum coverage period, territorial scope, coverage limits and additional coverages are specified in the policy document. The Applicant is responsible for checking this information after receiving the policy document.

An Applicant who believes there is an error in the policy must contact Mark Sigorta without delay. Amendments, endorsements, cancellation or correction procedures that may be made after policy issuance are subject to the rules of the insurance company and applicable legislation.


Article 9 | Premium, Payment and Collection

The insurance premium is displayed on the payment screen according to the insurance product selected during the application, policy period, coverages, the insurance company’s tariff, payment method and any additional payment items.

The total amount may consist of the insurance premium, additional coverage fees if any, payment infrastructure costs, bank or card transaction fees, virtual POS costs and other payment items that may apply under current legislation.

Before giving payment approval, the Applicant is responsible for checking the total amount, payment items, policy period, selected product and any additional coverages displayed on the payment screen.

Mark Sigorta may collect premiums within the scope of its agency authority and the authority granted by the relevant insurance company. Collections made in this scope are evaluated under the relevant policy, agency authority and applicable legislation.

The payment process may be carried out through payment service providers, banks, card schemes or virtual POS infrastructures. Card information is processed through the secure systems of the payment infrastructure. Mark Sigorta does not store the full card number in its own systems; it may process limited transaction information transmitted by the payment provider.

Unless the payment is successfully completed, the policy may not be issued or coverage may not commence. In cases of delay, failed transaction, duplicate payment or technical failure arising from the payment infrastructure, transaction records are reviewed and necessary correction is made.


Article 10 | Distance Transaction, Preliminary Information and Electronic Approval

Applications made through the website may qualify as distance transactions. Before the application and payment process, the Applicant is responsible for reviewing the service scope, policy information, product explanations, coverage and exclusion summaries, payment items, cancellation/refund conditions, preliminary information texts and relevant approval areas shown to them.

By ticking the relevant approval boxes on the website or completing the payment process, the Applicant is deemed to have accepted electronically the agreement, information notices and transaction conditions shown to them.

Electronic approvals given by the Applicant, application form, transaction records, IP records, payment records and technical records in the nature of timestamps may be used as evidence for the relevant transaction.

The Applicant accepts that they may save the policy and product information shown during the purchase process to a durable medium or access it later through the website. However, since general information texts published on the website may be updated over time, the policy and transaction records accepted on the date of the relevant transaction shall be taken as basis.


Article 11 | Cancellation, Withdrawal and Refund Conditions

Insurance application, policy issuance, cancellation, withdrawal and refund processes are evaluated according to whether the policy has been issued, whether coverage has commenced, whether the policy period has started to run, whether a claim notice has been made, the rules of the insurance company, policy special terms, general conditions and applicable legislation.

  • If the policy has not yet been issued and the premium has not been transferred to the insurance company or the relevant collection process, a refund may be made upon cancellation request.
  • After the policy has been issued, cancellation and refund requests are evaluated according to the insurance company’s cancellation/refund rules, policy inception and expiry dates, whether coverage has been used and applicable legislation.
  • If the policy period has commenced, the policy has remained in force, coverage has been used or a claim notice has been made, all or part of the premium may be non-refundable.
  • Refunds of amounts collected by the insurance company, transferred to the relevant process or deducted by the payment infrastructure may depend on the rules of the relevant insurance company, banks, card schemes or payment providers.
  • For policies issued due to information provided by the Applicant that is incorrect, incomplete, erroneous, misleading or inconsistent with the purpose of the policy, no refund may be made or the refund may be subject to the insurance company’s assessment.
  • In the event of duplicate payment, technical error or a clear processing error caused by Mark Sigorta, the necessary review is conducted and an appropriate refund or correction is made.

Whether a right of withdrawal exists, and the manner and period for exercising it, may vary depending on the type of insurance product, whether the policy has entered into force, whether coverage has been used, distance sales legislation, policy terms and the practices of the insurance company. The Applicant’s mandatory rights arising from applicable legislation are reserved.

For cancellation, withdrawal or refund requests, the Applicant must contact Mark Sigorta. Each request is evaluated by considering transaction records, payment records, policy status, insurance company rules, application stage and the scope of the service provided.


Article 12 | Chargeback, Payment Objection and Misuse

If the Applicant initiates a payment objection, reversal or chargeback, Mark Sigorta may submit transaction records, policy records, service records, invoice information, communication records, IP records, application records and other lawful records to the relevant bank, payment institution or card scheme.

If it is determined that the Applicant has used the payment objection or chargeback mechanism in bad faith to cause loss to Mark Sigorta, the insurance company or the payment infrastructure, obtain an unjust benefit or recover the service fee despite the policy having been issued or the service having been provided, Mark Sigorta may initiate legal proceedings, file a criminal complaint and claim compensation for its damages.

In cases of fake application, fake document, unauthorized card use, unauthorized application, unauthorized transaction on behalf of another person, misleading information or suspected misuse, Mark Sigorta may suspend the application, cancel it, request additional verification, stop policy issuance or notify competent authorities.

The Applicant is responsible for ensuring that the email address, phone number and other contact information are accurate and accessible. Mark Sigorta is not responsible for delays that may arise due to incorrect contact details such as email address or phone number, emails being filtered as spam, SMS messages not being received or the Applicant failing to monitor notifications.

After receiving the policy, the Applicant must check the policy information, insured information, passport or identity information, policy inception and expiry dates, coverage limits, territorial scope, exclusions and special terms.

If the Applicant cannot access the policy, believes there is an error in the policy information or experiences a problem with policy delivery, the Applicant must contact Mark Sigorta without delay.


Article 14 | Coverages, Exclusions and Policy Terms

The coverages, coverage limits, territorial scope, exclusions, waiting periods, special terms, general conditions, clauses, sanctions provisions and procedures to be followed in case of a claim are specified in the policy document issued by the relevant insurance company and the documents attached to the policy.

Exclusions, international trade controls, economic sanctions, territorial limitations, age limits, travel duration limits, waiting periods, pre-existing conditions, special exclusions and the insurance company’s risk acceptance rules may vary from policy to policy. The Applicant must review these terms before purchasing the policy.

If the insurance policy is to be used for visa, residence, entry, travel or official procedure purposes, acceptance of the policy by the relevant authority is outside the scope of the policy and is subject to the assessment of the relevant authorities. Mark Sigorta does not guarantee that any official authority will definitely accept the policy.


Article 15 | Foreign Persons, Travel Document and Türkiye Validity

For policies issued for foreign persons travelling to Türkiye or required to present health insurance during their stay in Türkiye, ensuring that the policy period is compatible with the travel or stay period is the responsibility of the Applicant.

The country, nationality, travel document type and passport information selected during the application must be compatible with the document to be used during travel. If there is a discrepancy between the travel document country or identity information stated in the policy and the passport or travel document actually used, the policy may not be accepted by official authorities or may be deemed invalid by the insurance company.
