13.2.2. Notification of proposed changes is sent at least 15 days in advance before the date of entry into force of these changes, provided that the change may be introduced without observing the 15-day notice period in the event that the Service Provider: (1) is subject to a legal or regulatory obligation, on the basis of which it is obliged to change the Regulations in a manner that prevents it from meeting the 15-day notice period; or (2) must, as an exception, change its Regulations in order to counteract an unforeseen and direct threat related to the protection of the Online Store, including Electronic Services and Service Recipients/Customers against fraud, malware, spam, data breach or other threats to cybersecurity.
