Advertisements help support the operation and continued development of PlayMarket.

Accordingly, advertisements do not constitute endorsements by PlayMarket.

• cookies;

• advertising identifiers;

• browsing information;

• approximate location;

• fraudulent;

• unlawful;

• offensive;

ARTICLE 3. AFFILIATE LINKS

3.1. Affiliate Relationships

Some links published on the Website may be affiliate links.

If a User follows an affiliate link and completes a qualifying action, PlayMarket may receive compensation from the relevant partner.

3.2. No Additional Cost

In most cases, following an affiliate link does not increase the price paid by the User.

Any commission is generally paid by the merchant or partner rather than by the User.

3.3. Editorial Independence

Affiliate relationships do not determine:

• editorial opinions;

• review conclusions;

• ratings;

• recommendations;

• news coverage;

• comparisons;

• or factual reporting.

Editorial decisions remain independent.

3.4. Honest Recommendations

PlayMarket seeks to provide balanced and accurate information regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists.

Whenever possible, reviews and comparisons are prepared according to editorial criteria rather than commercial incentives.

3.5. Availability

Affiliate programs may change without notice.

Accordingly, some affiliate links may:

• stop working;

• be replaced;

• become unavailable;

• or redirect to updated partner pages.

3.6. Reservation of Rights

PlayMarket reserves the right to add, remove, replace, or modify affiliate relationships at any time without prior notice.

ARTICLE 4. SPONSORED CONTENT

4.1. General Principle

From time to time, PlayMarket may publish content that is created in cooperation with commercial partners.

Such content may include:

• sponsored articles;

• sponsored reviews;

• promotional announcements;

• product showcases;

• partner campaigns;

• branded educational materials;

• or other forms of commercial communication.

Whenever reasonably appropriate, such content will be clearly identified in accordance with Applicable Law.

4.2. Clear Identification

PlayMarket seeks to distinguish sponsored content from independent editorial content through appropriate disclosures, which may include labels such as:

• Sponsored;

• Advertisement;

• Partner Content;

• Promotional Material;

• Paid Partnership;

• or other legally appropriate designations.

The specific wording may vary depending on applicable legal requirements and the nature of the commercial relationship.

4.3. Editorial Standards

Even where content is sponsored, PlayMarket strives to maintain professional editorial standards.

Commercial relationships do not automatically guarantee:

• positive reviews;

• favorable ratings;

• product recommendations;

• or preferential editorial treatment.

Editorial integrity remains an important principle of the Website.

4.4. Sponsor Responsibility

Sponsors remain solely responsible for:

• factual claims;

• product representations;

• pricing information;

• promotional offers;

• warranties;

• legal compliance;

• and representations regarding their own products or services.

PlayMarket does not independently verify every statement supplied by commercial partners.

4.5. No Professional Endorsement

The publication of sponsored content should not be interpreted as:

• legal approval;

• technical certification;

• safety verification;

• product endorsement;

• investment advice;

• medical advice;

• or any professional recommendation.

Users should independently evaluate products and services before making purchasing or installation decisions.

4.6. Reservation of Rights

PlayMarket reserves the right to reject, edit, suspend, or remove sponsored content that is determined to be:

• misleading;

• deceptive;

• inaccurate;

• unlawful;

• harmful;

• inconsistent with editorial standards;

• or otherwise unsuitable for publication.

5.1. Independent Editorial Decisions

PlayMarket maintains editorial independence regardless of:

• commercial partnerships;

• referral programs;

• or other business relationships.

Commercial considerations do not determine editorial conclusions.

5.2. Reviews and Ratings

Reviews, comparisons, recommendations, and evaluations published on the Website reflect the independent editorial opinion of PlayMarket based on information available at the time of publication.

A commercial relationship does not guarantee:

• positive coverage;

• favorable rankings;

• publication of an article;

• continued visibility;

• or exclusion of competing products.

5.3. Product Selection

PlayMarket independently determines which applications, software products, games, or digital services are covered on the Website.

The existence or absence of an advertising or affiliate relationship does not obligate PlayMarket to publish, modify, or remove editorial content.

5.4. Corrections

Where factual inaccuracies are identified, PlayMarket may:

• update articles;

• correct technical information;

• revise screenshots;

• clarify statements;

• amend product information;

• or remove outdated material.

Editorial corrections are made to improve accuracy rather than to satisfy commercial interests.

5.5. Separation of Advertising and Editorial Content

PlayMarket seeks to maintain a reasonable separation between advertising materials and editorial content.

Advertising should not intentionally imitate independent editorial articles in a manner likely to mislead Users.

5.6. Reservation of Rights

PlayMarket reserves full editorial discretion over all published content, subject to Applicable Law and contractual obligations expressly agreed in writing.
