Our Commitment to Copyright Protection
At APKTOPI.COM, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. We have created this Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) policy to answer quickly to claims of copyright infringement. Below, we clarify how we handle situations involving the unauthorized use or sharing of copyrighted materials on our website.
What is the Copyright and Infringement?
Copyright protects the content of the creator’s original works, like software, games, or music, giving them exclusive rights to their content. Infringement happens when someone uses or shares copyrighted material without the owner’s permission. It could mean violating the owner’s legal rights.
Filing a Copyright Complaint (DMCA Takedown Notice)
If you believe your copyrighted content has been used on APKTOPI.COM without your permission, you can file a DMCA takedown notice. This notice must come from the copyright owner or someone authorized to act on their behalf.
Here is what the notice needs to include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Details about the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed.
- A description of the material on our site that you want us to remove, along with enough information for us to locate it.
- Your contact information (email, phone number, and address).
- A statement that you genuinely believe the material isn’t authorized by you, your agent, or the law.
- A declaration that your claim is accurate, and you’re authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
What Happens After You File a Complaint?
- Once we receive a valid DMCA notice, here is what we will do:
- Remove or block access to the content in question.
- We will notify the person who uploaded the material about the complaint.
- Give the uploader a chance to respond with a counter-notice if they believe the complaint, is a mistake.
If You Are the Uploader: How to File a Counter-Notice
If you think the removal was a mistake or the material was not infringing, you can send us a counter-notice. It should include:
- Physical or electronic signature.
- Information about the removed material and where it was located.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the removal was a mistake.
- Your contact details including name, address, and phone number. And a statement that you will accept legal proceedings if necessary.
When we receive your counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If they do not pursue further legal action within 14 business days, we will generally restore the removed material.
