# Art. 6 — Hosting

DSA Article 6 — Hosting. Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, Chapter II — Liability of providers of intermediary services.

1. Where an [information society service](https://headlesslaw.com/definitions/dsa/information-society-service/) is provided that consists of the storage of information provided by a [recipient of the service](https://headlesslaw.com/definitions/dsa/recipient-of-the-service/), the service provider shall not be liable for the information stored at the request of a recipient of the service, on condition that the provider:
   1. does not have actual knowledge of illegal activity or [illegal content](https://headlesslaw.com/definitions/dsa/illegal-content/) and, as regards claims for damages, is not aware of facts or circumstances from which the illegal activity or illegal content is apparent; or
   2. upon obtaining such knowledge or awareness, acts expeditiously to remove or to disable access to the illegal content.
2. Paragraph 1 shall not apply where the recipient of the service is acting under the authority or the control of the provider.
3. Paragraph 1 shall not apply with respect to the liability under [consumer](https://headlesslaw.com/definitions/dsa/consumer/) protection law of online platforms that allow consumers to conclude distance contracts with traders, where such an [online platform](https://headlesslaw.com/definitions/dsa/online-platform/) presents the specific item of information or otherwise enables the specific transaction at issue in a way that would lead an average consumer to believe that the information, or the product or service that is the object of the transaction, is provided either by the online platform itself or by a recipient of the service who is acting under its authority or control.
4. This Article shall not affect the possibility for a judicial or administrative authority, in accordance with a Member State's legal system, to require the service provider to terminate or prevent an infringement.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.mica.wtf/dsa/chapter-ii-liability-of-providers-of-intermediary-services-art.-4-10/6.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
