Terms of Use

Last Updated: 1 September 2026

1. Company Information

This website, https://www.ploutostrading.com/ (the “Website”), is owned and operated by PLOUTOS GAYRİMENKUL İÇ MİMARLIK TİCARET A.Ş., trading as Ploutos International Trading (“Ploutos”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

Registered Office: Bostancı Mah. Bağdat Cad. Hayırlı Apt. No:462 Kat:2 D:8, Çatalçeşme, Kadıköy, Istanbul 34744, Türkiye
MERSİS No: 0730084483400001

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the Website. They do not replace or govern any separate Sale and Purchase Agreement, mandate, commission agreement, confidentiality agreement, NCNDA or other written commercial agreement executed by the relevant parties.

2. Acceptance and Business Use

By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms of Use and agree to be bound by them.

If you access the Website on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you are authorised to act on behalf of that entity.

The Website is intended for professional and business users engaged in commercial activities. It is not intended as a consumer sales platform, online marketplace or facility for concluding consumer transactions.

If you do not accept these Terms of Use, you should not use the Website.

3. General Commercial Information — No Offer

All information published on the Website is provided solely for general corporate and commercial information.

Nothing on the Website constitutes or shall be interpreted as:

  • a binding offer to sell or purchase any commodity;

  • a firm commitment to supply;

  • a representation of guaranteed availability;

  • a warranty regarding any product, allocation, origin, quantity, specification, price, delivery term or shipment schedule;

  • an acceptance of any buyer requirement, LOI, ICPO, purchase order or mandate;

  • financial, banking, investment, legal, tax, customs, insurance or technical advice.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in a written document signed by a duly authorised signatory of the relevant contracting party, enquiries, requests for quotation, LOIs, ICPOs, CIS or KYC submissions, quotations, draft offers, FCOs, term sheets, procedures, draft SPAs and communications made by email, telephone, messaging applications or through the Website form part of preliminary commercial negotiations and do not create a binding obligation.

A commodity transaction becomes binding only when the relevant Seller and Buyer execute a definitive Sale and Purchase Agreement or another written agreement expressly identified as legally binding.

4. Product and Supply Information

Information concerning commodities, specifications, purity levels, origin, available quantities, packaging, inspection, pricing, loading periods, ports and logistics reflects the commercial structures that may be available through different supply channels.

Supply sources, allocations and commercial conditions may change according to:

  • product and allocation availability;

  • refinery, producer or end seller confirmation;

  • origin and loading-port availability;

  • destination and logistical feasibility;

  • vessel, terminal and storage availability;

  • prevailing market conditions;

  • applicable laws, sanctions and export controls;

  • satisfactory completion of compliance and due diligence procedures.

The publication of a product or delivery structure on the Website does not mean that the product or structure is continuously or unconditionally available.

Ploutos may update, amend, suspend or remove product and commercial information without prior notice. Availability and final commercial terms must be confirmed separately for each enquiry.

5. Delivery Terms and Incoterms®

Commodity transactions may be structured on different delivery terms, including CFR, CIF or FOB, depending on the specific supply channel and the relevant Seller’s commercial conditions.

Reference to CFR, CIF, FOB or any other Incoterms® rule on the Website describes a delivery structure that may be considered. It does not constitute a standing commitment to supply under that rule.

The delivery basis available for a particular transaction is determined by the applicable allocation, origin, loading port, destination, logistics and Seller approval at the time of commercial evaluation.

An Incoterms® rule becomes applicable only when it is expressly included in the definitive transaction agreement together with the named port or place and the applicable edition of the Incoterms® rules.

Incoterms® rules allocate certain delivery obligations, costs and risks between the Seller and Buyer. They do not independently determine product ownership, price, payment terms, product specifications, contractual remedies, applicable law or dispute resolution.

6. Role of Ploutos

The role of Ploutos may differ between transactions. Depending on the relevant commercial structure, Ploutos may act as an introducer, commercial intermediary, authorised mandate, representative or, only where expressly stated in the transaction documents, a contracting party.

The identity and role of the Seller, Buyer, Ploutos and any other participant shall be determined exclusively by the relevant written transaction documents.

Nothing published on the Website authorises any person to:

  • represent or bind Ploutos;

  • negotiate or execute agreements in the name of Ploutos;

  • represent themselves as an employee, office, agent, mandate or authorised representative of Ploutos;

  • use the Ploutos name, logo, email domain or commercial materials without prior written authorisation.

No introduction, correspondence, submission of documents or participation in discussions creates any right to a commission, fee, mandate, exclusivity, representation, non-circumvention protection or other compensation unless such right is established in a separate written agreement signed by an authorised signatory of the responsible party.

Ploutos cannot bind a third-party seller, refinery, producer, bank, insurer, inspection company, carrier, terminal, storage operator or other independent service provider unless Ploutos has express written authority to do so.

7. Due Diligence and Submitted Information

Ploutos may require corporate and transaction information before proceeding with an enquiry, including company registration documents, ownership information, authorised signatory details, CIS/KYC documentation, proof of authority, banking information and evidence of commercial capacity.

By submitting information or documents, you represent that:

  • the information is accurate, complete and current;

  • the documents are authentic and have not been altered;

  • you are authorised to submit and disclose them;

  • their submission does not infringe any third-party rights or applicable laws;

  • you will promptly notify Ploutos of any material change.

Submission of documents does not oblige Ploutos or any Seller to accept an enquiry, issue an offer, reserve an allocation or proceed with a transaction.

Ploutos may decline, suspend or discontinue an enquiry where due diligence is not completed satisfactorily, the requested structure is commercially unavailable or a legal, regulatory, reputational or compliance concern arises.

8. Sanctions, Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Corruption

Users of the Website and persons submitting commercial enquiries must comply with all applicable laws and regulations concerning:

  • economic and trade sanctions;

  • export controls;

  • anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing;

  • anti-bribery and anti-corruption;

  • fraud prevention;

  • customs and international trade controls.

The Website must not be used to facilitate a prohibited transaction, conceal the identity of a principal or beneficial owner, submit forged or misleading documents, misrepresent the origin or destination of goods, or evade applicable sanctions or trade restrictions.

Ploutos reserves the right to conduct compliance checks, request additional information and suspend or terminate discussions where a transaction or participant may create a legal or compliance risk.

9. Third-Party Information and Independent Verification

The Website may contain information obtained from or relating to producers, refineries, sellers, buyers, inspection companies, carriers, ports, banks, insurers and other independent third parties.

Unless expressly confirmed in a definitive written agreement, Ploutos does not warrant that third-party information is complete, current or independently verified.

Prospective counterparties are responsible for conducting their own commercial, technical, legal, financial, sanctions and counterparty due diligence before entering into a transaction. Where appropriate, users should obtain independent professional advice.

Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience only. Ploutos does not control and is not responsible for their content, security, availability or privacy practices. The inclusion of a link does not constitute endorsement.

10. Intellectual Property

All text, branding, trade names, logos, graphics, photographs, page layouts, documents and other materials published on the Website are owned by or licensed to Ploutos and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Ploutos grants users a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right to access the Website for legitimate internal business evaluation.

Without prior written permission, users may not:

  • reproduce, republish, sell or commercially distribute Website content;

  • modify or create derivative works from Website materials;

  • use the Ploutos name or logo in commercial documents or online profiles;

  • circulate Website content as a firm offer or authorised commercial proposal;

  • use Website content to construct or promote an unauthorised intermediary or broker chain;

  • falsely imply a commercial relationship, mandate or endorsement by Ploutos.

11. Prohibited Use

Users must not:

  • use the Website for unlawful, fraudulent or deceptive purposes;

  • impersonate another person or company;

  • submit false, forged, incomplete or misleading information;

  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its servers or connected systems;

  • introduce malware, malicious code or automated attacks;

  • scrape, harvest or systematically extract Website data without permission;

  • interfere with the security, operation or availability of the Website;

  • use contact information obtained from the Website for spam or unauthorised marketing.

Ploutos may restrict access or take appropriate legal action in response to prohibited use.

12. Website Availability and Disclaimer

The Website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Ploutos does not warrant that:

  • the Website will always be available, uninterrupted or error-free;

  • Website content will be complete, current or suitable for a particular transaction;

  • technical faults or security vulnerabilities will never occur;

  • information downloaded from the Website will be free from harmful components.

Users are responsible for applying appropriate security measures when accessing or downloading content from the Website.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Ploutos shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising solely from:

  • access to or inability to access the Website;

  • reliance on general or indicative Website content;

  • changes in product availability or commercial conditions;

  • third-party content, services, documents or websites;

  • interruption, technical failure, data loss or security incidents;

  • any decision made without completing independent due diligence or executing a definitive written agreement.

Ploutos shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential or special loss, including loss of profit, revenue, data, business opportunity, anticipated savings or reputation, arising from use of the Website.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where exclusion or limitation is prohibited by mandatory law, including liability arising from fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

This limitation does not modify any liability expressly undertaken by a party under a separately executed binding agreement.

14. Privacy and Personal Data

Personal data submitted through the Website or by email is processed in accordance with the Company’s Privacy Policy and applicable data protection legislation, including Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 and, where applicable, the General Data Protection Regulation.

Users must not submit personal data belonging to another person unless they are legally authorised to do so.

The Company’s Privacy Policy is available at:

https://www.ploutostrading.com/privacy-policy/

15. Amendments

Ploutos may amend these Terms of Use when necessary to reflect legal, regulatory, operational or commercial changes.

The current version will be published on the Website together with its last-updated date. Continued use of the Website following publication of an amended version constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Use and disputes arising solely from access to or use of the Website are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without prejudice to any mandatory provisions of applicable law.

To the extent legally permitted, the courts and enforcement offices of Istanbul (Anatolian Side), Türkiye shall have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or use of the Website.

Any definitive commodity transaction, mandate, commission agreement, NCNDA, confidentiality agreement or other separately executed commercial agreement may contain its own governing-law and dispute-resolution provisions. In relation to that agreement or transaction, those specific provisions shall prevail over these Terms of Use.

17. Severability and No Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision shall be applied to the maximum extent permitted or severed where necessary. The remaining provisions shall continue in effect.

Failure by Ploutos to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other right.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement concerning use of the Website only and do not replace any separately executed commercial agreement.

18. Language

These Terms may be made available in more than one language. In the event of any inconsistency between translations, the English version shall prevail to the extent permitted by applicable law.
