Content Rating. For those Sales Territories using a content rating system, Microsoft will not accept submission of a Software Title for Certification unless Publisher has obtained a rating of “Mature (17+)” (or its equivalent) or lower (i.e., more broadly appropriate) from appropriate rating bodies, including any independent content rating authority(ies) that Microsoft may reasonably designate (e.g., ESRB, PEGI). Publisher will include such rating(s) prominently on FPUs and Marketing Materials, as per the applicable rating body’s guidelines, and will include such rating(s) in a header file or the manifest of the Software Title, as per the Publisher Guide. For Sales Territories not using a content rating system, Microsoft will not approve any Software Title that, in Microsoft’s opinion, is unsuitable for Xbox One (e.g., because it contains excessive sexual content or violence, inappropriate language, or other unsuitable elements). If, after Commercial Release, Microsoft or a ratings body determines that a Software Title is suitable for adults only or is indecent, obscene, or illegal, Publisher will recall, at Publisher’s own expense, all FPUs for that Software Title following consultation between Publisher and Microsoft. Unless Publisher has obtained, and communicated to Microsoft, a separate rating for Digital Content as per the Publisher Guide, Publisher represents and warrants that all Digital Content not in the initial FPU for a Software Title will be consistent with the content rating (or, in those countries not using a content rating system, with the overall nature of the content) of the underlying Software Title. Publisher will also comply with any other rating requirements in the Publisher Guide. Microsoft may require removal of Digital Content or require Publisher to obtain a separate rating if Microsoft later deems such content inconsistent with the content rating for the underlying Software Title.

For those Sales Territories that do not utilize a content rating system, Microsoft will not approve any Software Title or Online Content that, in its opinion, contains excessive sexual content or violence, inappropriate language or other elements deemed unsuitable for the Xbox 360. Microsoft will provide THQ advanced notice via the Xbox 360 Publisher Guide whenever any new countries that do not have a content rating system are added to Sales Territories and what, if any, content guidelines it proposes for such country. If, after Commercial Release, a Software Title is determined as suitable for adults only or otherwise as indecent, obscene or otherwise prohibited by law, the Publisher shall at its own costs recall all FPUs. Publisher hereby represents and warrants that any Online Game Features and other game-related Online Content not included in the initial Software Title FPU will not be inconsistent with the content rating (or, in those countries that do not utilize a content rating system, with the overall nature of the content) of the underlying Software Title. Content rating information and requirements may be further described in the Xbox 360 Publisher Guide.
