Distance contracts are regulated and taken under the provisions of article 48 of the Law on the Protection of the Consumer No. 6502 and also within the scope of the Regulation on Distance Contracts. With the COVID-19 process, distance contracts have become an integral part of our lives. The reason why distance contracts are often preferred; These agreements allow consumers to easily choose from among multiple options at their place of residence, without wasting much time. The possibility of the information shared by the consumers in these contracts falling into the hands of malicious third parties and the necessity of protecting the personal data of consumers are also the risks of distance contracts. Distance contracts are mostly contracts where the seller and the consumer come together through intermediaries. Since distance contracts are also regulated within the scope of the Law on the Regulation of Electronic Commerce, similar and different aspects of the concept of intermediaries regulated in the provisions of this law and the concept of intermediaries regulated under the TKHK law will be examined in our study. It will be tried to determine what the concept of intermediation is, how it is regulated in the legal legislation and the responsibility of intermediaries towards consumers.
