(4) a statement confirming the good faith belief of the person or entity making the report that the information and allegations contained therein are correct and complete.
10.3.3. A report, as mentioned above, is considered to provide the basis for obtaining actual knowledge or information for the purposes of Article 6 of the Digital Services Act with regard to the information it concerns, if it enables the Service Provider, acting with due diligence, to ascertain – without detailed legal analysis – the illegal nature of the activity or information.
10.3.4. If the report contains the contact details of the person or entity making the report, the Service Provider promptly sends a confirmation of receipt of the report to that person or entity.

The Service Provider considers all reports it receives through the mechanism described above and makes decisions regarding the information in the reports in a timely, non-arbitrary, and objective manner with due diligence. If the Service Provider uses automated means to review such reports or make decisions, it provides information about this in the notification mentioned above.
10.3.6. The Service Recipient is obliged to comply with the following principles when providing any content in the Online Store:

10.3.7. The Service Provider reserves the right to moderate content provided by Service Recipients on the Online Store. Moderation is done in good faith and with due diligence, either at the Service Provider’s initiative or in response to reports, in order to detect, identify, and remove Illegal Content or other content that does not comply with the Regulation, or to prevent access to such content, or to take necessary measures to comply with EU law and national law aligned with EU law, including requirements under the Digital Services Act.
10.3.8. The moderation process can be manual by a human or rely on automated or partially automated tools to help the Service Provider identify Illegal Content or other content that does not comply with the Regulation. After identifying such content, the Service Provider will decide whether to remove or restrict access to the content or take other actions deemed necessary (e.g., contacting the Service Recipient to clarify concerns and modify the content). The Service Provider will clearly and understandably inform the Service Recipient, who submitted the content (if their contact details are available), of their decision, the reasons for it, and the available options for appealing the decision.
11. FINAL PROVISIONS
11.1. Agreements concluded through the Online Store are made in Polish.
11.2. Changes to the Regulation:
11.2.1. The Service Provider reserves the right to make changes to this Regulation for important reasons, such as: changes in law; changes in payment or delivery methods or terms; legal or regulatory obligations; changes in the scope or form of provided Electronic Services; addition of new Electronic Services; necessity to counter unforeseen and direct threats related to the protection of the Online Store, including Electronic Services and Service Recipients/Clients against fraud, malicious software, spam, data breaches, or other cybersecurity risks – insofar as these changes affect the implementation of the provisions of this Regulation.
11.2.2. Notice of proposed changes will be sent at least 15 days before the changes come into effect, unless a change can be made without the 15-day notice period if the Service Provider: (1) is required to change the Regulation due to a legal or regulatory obligation that prevents them from adhering to the 15-day notice period; or (2) needs to change the Regulation to counter an unforeseen and immediate threat related to the protection of the Online Store, including Electronic Services and Service Recipients/Clients against fraud, malicious software, spam, data breaches, or other cybersecurity threats. In these two cases, changes will be introduced with immediate effect, unless it is possible or necessary to apply a longer period for implementing the changes, in which case the Service Provider will notify the Service Recipient accordingly.
11.2.3. In the case of continuous agreements (e.g., providing Electronic Service – Account), the Service Recipient has the right to terminate the agreement with the Service Provider before the notification period for proposed changes expires. The termination will be effective 15 days from receiving the notice. If a continuous agreement is concluded, the modified Regulation binds the Service Recipient if they have been properly notified of the changes before their implementation and have not terminated the agreement within this period. Additionally, at any time after receiving the notice of changes, the Service Recipient may accept the changes and thus waive the remaining notification period. For agreements other than continuous ones, changes to the Regulation will not affect the Service Recipient’s acquired rights, especially for orders already placed or agreements already concluded, carried out, or executed.
