  2. Regarding the aforementioned procedure, the Portal is regarded as a service enabling the storage of information provided by Users (i.e. Reviews), and the Operator is therefore regarded as the provider of information society services pursuant to respective provisions of UK and EU legislation.
  3. In accordance with the previous Article, the Operator is obligated to supervise the content of saved information (Reviews) and actively search for facts and circumstances indicating the unlawful content of information input.
  4. The Operator is liable for the contents of Reviews only in the following cases:

    b) it demonstrably learned of the unlawful nature of the content of the information saved (Reviews) or of the unlawful conduct of a User and did not promptly take all steps that could be required of it to remove such information or make it unavailable.

Regarding the fact that in the case of the Portal the Operator is not obligated to supervise the content of Reviews and check their compliance with legal regulations, the case of liability in accordance with Article II. point 4. lett. a) is not applicable in practice in the case of the Portal. The Operator can be liable in accordance with Article II. point 4. lett. b), if the conditions in accordance with Article III. of these RWR are met.
