4. when a release of the Coincover Fragment and the Ledger Fragment is requested by you via the Ledger Trust Services Platform, conduct all reasonable identity verification checks to confirm that the request has been made by you;
   
   
5. when a release of the Coincover Fragment and the Ledger Fragment is requested by you via the Ledger Trust Services Platform, procure that Ledger shall conduct all reasonable identity verification checks to confirm that the request has been made by you;
   
   
6. once satisfied that a release of the Coincover Fragment and the Ledger Fragment has been requested by you via the Ledger Trust Services Platform, release a copy of the Coincover Fragment to your Ledger device;
   
   
7. once Ledger is satisfied that a release of the Coincover Fragment and the Ledger Fragment has been requested by you via the Ledger Trust Services Platform, procure that a copy of the Ledger Fragment is released to your Ledger device;
   
   
8. where the Coincover Fragment or the Ledger Fragment released to you in connection with a recovery request is defective, procure the release of the Back-up Fragment to your Ledger device;
   
   
9. where the standard identity verifications are insufficient to confirm that the request has been made by you, enable you to file a claim to make additional verifications;
   
   
10. when an unsubscribe request is submitted by you via the Ledger Trust Services Platform, conduct all reasonable checks to confirm that the request has been made by you;
    
    
11. when an unsubscribe request is submitted by you via the Ledger Trust Services Platform, procure that Ledger shall conduct all reasonable checks to confirm that the request has been made by you;
    
    
12. once satisfied that an unsubscribe request has been made by you via the Ledger Trust Services Platform, release a copy of the Coincover Fragment to your Ledger device (and, for Coincover’s records, transfer relevant information regarding the recovery (excluding the Coincover Fragment) from a live database to an archive maintained by Coincover);
    
    
13. once Ledger is satisfied that an unsubscribe request has been made by you via the Ledger Trust Services Platform, procure that a copy of the Ledger Fragment is released to your Ledger device (and for Ledger’s records, procure that Ledger shall transfer relevant information regarding the recovery (excluding the Ledger Fragment) from a live database to an archive maintained by Ledger);
