YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE ACTION. Australia law...

Hi,

when I log in in the vendor portal I get this message:
"

**VERY IMPORTANT  ACTION REQUIRED**

In preparation for our upcoming release of BlackBerry App World in Australia, it has come to our attention that the regulatory authorities in Australia require all games made available for mobile devices to be classified by their Classification Board prior to being made available in Australia.

YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE ACTION.

This currently affect all of your free games that have either All countries or include Australia in the country rule. There are two options that You can choose from:

  1. Provide us with evidence that any game You wish to have made available through BlackBerry App World in Australia has satisfied the classification requirements under Australian law.
  2. Change your selection of eligible territories (Countries and Carriers) for that game to exclude its availability in Australia.

Selecting option (2) will help ensure that there are no interruptions with your free games as we move forward with the release of BlackBerry App World in Australia. Additionally, selecting option (2) will not prevent You from providing the classification requirements at a later time. If you opt to remove Australia from your country rule, changing the country rule to specify All Countries except Australia will suffice. The changes can be made by logging into the Vendor Portal. For more information about applying for Classifications for Australia, please visit: Applying for Classification. For information about fees associated with Classification, please visit: Fees for Classification. If you do not take action, you risk having your application removed from BlackBerry App World. It is highly recommended to take action immediately."

 

My software is a financial software and not a game, is there something that we need to do also for apps?

Thanks,
Davide.
