ARTICLE 3. SUBMITTING A LEGAL REQUEST

3.1. Submission Method

Legal requests should be submitted using the official contact information published on the Website.

Electronic communication is the preferred method of correspondence unless Applicable Law requires otherwise.

3.2. Required Information

To facilitate review, legal requests should include, where reasonably applicable:

• the requester's full name;

• organization (if applicable);

• contact information;

• legal basis for the request;

• identification of the affected content;

• relevant URLs;

• supporting documentation;

• evidence supporting the request;

• and the specific action requested.

Incomplete submissions may delay review or be declined until sufficient information is provided.

3.3. Authority to Act

Where a request is submitted on behalf of another individual or organization, the requester should demonstrate appropriate authority or authorization to act.

3.4. Accuracy of Information

The requester represents that the information submitted is accurate, complete, and made in good faith to the best of their knowledge.

3.5. Supporting Evidence

PlayMarket may request additional documentation where reasonably necessary to verify ownership, authority, identity, legal rights, or the factual basis of the request.

3.6. No Automatic Action

Receipt of a legal request does not constitute acceptance of its allegations or guarantee that the requested action will be taken.

Each request is subject to independent review.

ARTICLE 4. REVIEW PROCESS

4.1. Preliminary Assessment

Upon receipt of a legal request, PlayMarket may conduct a preliminary assessment to determine whether the submission:

• falls within the scope of this Policy;

• contains sufficient information for review;

• identifies the affected content with reasonable specificity;

• appears to originate from an authorized individual or organization; and

• provides an identifiable legal basis for the request.

PlayMarket may decline to process requests that are manifestly incomplete or incapable of meaningful review.

4.2. Verification

Where reasonably appropriate, PlayMarket may verify:

• the identity of the requester;

• ownership of the asserted rights;

• legal authority to act on behalf of another person or entity;

• the authenticity of supporting documentation; and

• any other information reasonably necessary to evaluate the request.

Failure to provide requested information may result in the suspension or closure of the review process.

4.3. Independent Evaluation

Each request is reviewed independently and objectively.

PlayMarket considers, where relevant:

• the applicable legal framework;

• publicly available information;

• editorial records;

• factual accuracy;

• the public interest;

• proportionality of the requested action;

• and any other relevant circumstances.

The existence of a complaint alone does not establish that published content is unlawful, inaccurate, or should be removed.

4.4. Requests for Clarification

PlayMarket may request additional clarification or documentation from the requester where the available information is insufficient to reach a reasoned decision.

Review timelines may be extended while awaiting such information.

4.5. Consultation

Where appropriate, PlayMarket may consult:

• legal advisors;

• technical specialists;

• editors;

• content authors;

• hosting providers;

• service providers;

• or other qualified persons whose expertise may assist in evaluating the matter.

Such consultation does not transfer decision-making authority and remains subject to PlayMarket's independent judgment.

4.6. Review Timeframe

PlayMarket aims to review legal requests within a reasonable period.

Response times may vary depending on factors including:

• the complexity of the request;

• the volume of supporting materials;

• the need for additional verification;

• applicable legal requirements;

• and operational circumstances.

No specific response period is guaranteed unless required by Applicable Law.

ARTICLE 5. POSSIBLE OUTCOMES

Following review, PlayMarket may determine that one or more of the following actions are appropriate.

5.1. No Action

Where PlayMarket determines that:

• no legal violation has been established;

• the request lacks sufficient evidence;

• the content is factually supported;

• or the requested action is otherwise unwarranted,

the Website may decline to modify or remove the affected content.

5.2. Content Correction

Where factual inaccuracies are identified and supported by reliable evidence, PlayMarket may correct or update the relevant information.

Corrections may include:

• factual amendments;

• updated information;

• clarification of ambiguous language;

• revised references;

• or other editorial improvements.

5.3. Editorial Update

Where appropriate, PlayMarket may supplement existing content by:

• adding contextual information;

• including official statements;

• reflecting subsequent developments;

• updating product information;

• or improving overall accuracy.

An editorial update should not be interpreted as an admission of legal liability.

5.4. Partial Modification

Rather than removing an entire publication, PlayMarket may determine that only specific elements require modification.

Examples may include:

• removal of outdated information;

• replacement of images;

• updating trademarks or branding references;

• revision of individual statements;

• correction of metadata;

• or modification of specific sections.

5.5. Temporary Restriction

Where reasonably necessary during an ongoing review, PlayMarket may temporarily restrict access to particular content while additional information is being evaluated.

Such temporary measures do not constitute a final determination on the merits of the request.

5.6. Removal of Content

Where PlayMarket determines that removal is legally required or otherwise appropriate, the Website may remove, disable access to, replace, or otherwise restrict the affected content in whole or in part.

The scope of any action will generally be limited to what is reasonably necessary under the circumstances.

ARTICLE 6. EDITORIAL DISCRETION

6.1. Independent Editorial Judgment

PlayMarket is an independent informational resource.

Editorial decisions remain under the sole discretion of PlayMarket and are made in accordance with its Editorial Policy, Applicable Law, and internal editorial standards.

6.2. No Automatic Removal

The submission of a complaint, notice, demand letter, legal opinion, or other communication does not automatically require the removal, modification, restriction, or de-indexing of published content.

Each matter is considered individually based on its own facts and legal merits.

6.3. Public Interest

When evaluating legal requests, PlayMarket may consider whether continued publication serves a legitimate public interest.

Factors that may be considered include:

• consumer awareness;

• technological relevance;

• educational value;

• historical significance;

• public availability of the information from official sources; and

• the overall informational purpose of the publication.

6.4. Editorial Corrections

Where appropriate, PlayMarket generally prefers proportionate editorial solutions—such as corrections, updates, clarifications, or partial modifications—over complete removal, provided such measures adequately address the identified concern and are consistent with Applicable Law.

6.5. No Admission of Liability

Any modification, correction, clarification, restriction, or removal of content undertaken by PlayMarket shall not be interpreted as:

• an admission of wrongdoing;

• acceptance of legal liability;

• acknowledgment of infringement;

• or confirmation of the legal assertions contained in the request.

Such actions may be taken solely as an editorial, operational, or risk-management decision.

6.6. Reservation of Editorial Rights

PlayMarket expressly reserves the right to determine the most appropriate editorial response to any legal request, taking into account legal obligations, factual accuracy, editorial integrity, proportionality, and the interests of Users.

ARTICLE 7. ABUSE OF THE LEGAL REQUEST PROCESS

7.1. Good Faith Requirement

PlayMarket expects all legal requests to be submitted honestly, accurately, and in good faith.

The legal request process exists to address legitimate legal concerns and must not be used to suppress lawful content, restrict competition, discourage criticism, or interfere with editorial independence.

7.2. Abusive Requests

PlayMarket may decline to act upon requests that reasonably appear to be:

• knowingly false;

• materially misleading;

• fraudulent;

• abusive;

• repetitive without new supporting evidence;

• submitted for purposes of harassment;

• intended to intimidate the Website or its personnel;

• or otherwise inconsistent with Applicable Law.

The Website reserves the right to request additional verification before continuing the review of such submissions.

7.3. Automated or Mass Submissions

Where multiple substantially identical notices are submitted through automated systems or mass-reporting mechanisms, PlayMarket may consolidate them into a single review process.

Duplicate or repetitive submissions will not necessarily accelerate review or affect the outcome.

7.4. Misrepresentation

A person or organization submitting a legal request should not knowingly:

• misrepresent ownership;

• misrepresent legal authority;

• submit falsified documents;

• provide inaccurate factual information;

• or otherwise attempt to mislead PlayMarket during the review process.

PlayMarket reserves the right to disregard submissions containing material misrepresentations.

7.5. Preservation of Editorial Independence

The submission of repeated legal demands, commercial pressure, or threats of litigation shall not, by themselves, influence the editorial evaluation of published content.

Editorial decisions remain subject to independent legal and factual assessment.

7.6. Reservation of Rights

Nothing in this Policy prevents PlayMarket from protecting its legal rights, defending lawful publications, or responding appropriately to abusive, frivolous, or bad-faith legal communications.

ARTICLE 8. GOVERNMENT AND REGULATORY REQUESTS

8.1. Competent Authorities

PlayMarket may review requests received from governmental authorities, regulators, law enforcement agencies, supervisory bodies, or other public institutions acting within their lawful authority.

8.2. Verification of Authority

Where reasonably appropriate, PlayMarket may verify:

• the identity of the requesting authority;

PlayMarket will seek to comply with legally binding obligations applicable to the Website while respecting:

• fundamental rights;

• due process;

• editorial independence;

• and Applicable Law.

Where several lawful options are available, PlayMarket may select the measure that is reasonably necessary and proportionate.

8.4. Requests Outside Jurisdiction

The receipt of a request from a governmental authority located outside the jurisdiction applicable to the Website does not automatically create an obligation to remove, restrict, or modify content.

Each request will be evaluated according to the applicable legal framework, jurisdictional considerations, and conflict-of-law principles where relevant.

8.5. Confidential Requests

Where Applicable Law requires confidentiality, PlayMarket may be restricted from disclosing the existence or content of certain governmental requests.

In such circumstances, PlayMarket will comply with applicable legal restrictions regarding disclosure.

8.6. Independent Assessment

Except where legally prohibited or where an immediately enforceable legal obligation exists, governmental requests may be independently reviewed to determine the appropriate response.
