Abstract

Crowdfunding, as alternative financing model, has finally entered into Turkish capital market law. However, a legal certainty regarding the legal regime concerning crowdfunding portals’ liability is yet to be established. The relevant legislation states that the general rules will be applied to the relationship between the platforms, investors and entrepreneurs. Still, it is extremely important that the legal regime on crowdfunding portals’information sheet liability, its scope and safe harbors are determined. It is equally important that the crowdfunding market participants are encouraged to participate in the marketplace by ensuring legal certainty. In this paper, crowdfunding portals’ liability against investors, based on information sheet, is evaluated through the analysis of the legislation, and pertinent principles are expressed.

Özet

Kitle fonlaması alternatif bir finansman modeli olarak Türk sermaye piyasası hukuku mevzuatına girmiştir. Bununla beraber, kitle fonlaması platformlarının hukuki sorumluluğuna dair hukuki belirlilik henüz sağlanmış değildir. Zira kitle fonlaması platformları, yatırımcılar ve girişimciler arasındaki ilişkiye genel hükümler uygulanacaktır. Oysa kitle fonlaması platformlarının bilgi formundan kaynaklı hukuki sorumluluğunun kapsamı ile sorumluluktan kurtulma imkânlarının belirlenmesi, platformların faaliyetlerini hukuki güvenlik içerisinde sürdürmeleri açısından büyük önem arz etmektedir. Nitekim kitle fonlaması piyasasının gelişmesi için kitle fonlaması platformlarının ve bu faaliyete katılımın hukuki belirlilik sağlanarak özendirilmesi gerektiği de açıktır. Eldeki çalışmada kitle fonlaması platformunun yatırımcılara karşı bilgi formundan kaynaklı sorumluluğu kanun ve ikincil düzenlemeler çerçevesinde ele alınmakta, buna uygulanabilecek hukuki ilkeler ortaya konmaktadır. .
