What Is Second-Hand Software?

1. What is second-hand software?

Second-hand software is a license or product key that previously belonged to another user but is no longer used by them (or was never used) and is lawfully resold. Just like a used car or bicycle, the product is original — it simply had a previous owner.

These products are not pirated or copies. They are original licenses released with the rights holder's permission and later traded in the second-hand market.

2. What is the situation on our site?

Some products sold on our site are second-hand (resale). This is transparently stated in the product descriptions and during the ordering process.

Second-hand products are sold with the same original key delivery, instant delivery and replacement/refund assurance.

3. Legal basis

Under Article 23/2 of the Turkish Intellectual and Artistic Works Act (Law No. 5846, "FSEK"), reselling a copy after its first sale or distribution within Turkey with the rights holder's permission does not infringe the distribution right granted to the author.

Relevant Turkish Court of Cassation decisions and the Court of Justice of the European Union's UsedSoft/Oracle (C-128/11) decision have also assessed second-hand software transfer within this scope. This section is for information only and does not replace legal advice.

4. How does it work?

5. Why is it safe?
