## Clarifications
In rare cases, circumstances occur that were not foreseen at a markets creation and it becomes necessary to clarify rules after trading has begun. In these cases Polymarket may issue an “Additional context” update to the rules.
<Tip>If you believe a clarification is necessary for a market, the best place to request a clarification is in the [Polymarket Discord](https://discord.com/invite/polymarket) **#market-review** channel.</Tip>
