Copyright Policy

APKPure abides by Singapore Copyright Act 2021 and honors other applicable copyright laws which protects the intellectual property rights of others and expects all the users to do same. This Copyright Policy applies to the website www.apkpure.com and the mobile application APKPure (the “Platforms”) to address claims of infringement pertaining to copyrighted material owned or controlled by a third party.

If you believe that an App available in APKPure violates your intellectual property right, you can submit your takedown notice here.

Submit a takedown notice

Please note that the takedown notices ONLY can be accepted here. If you are an agent, the takedown requests would be accepted ONLY if you have the valid authorization.

The designated email copyright@apkpure.com should ONLY be contacted for the other queries related to intellectual property right issues rather than the takedown notices. Takedown notices sent to any APKPure email address may be delayed or ignored.

Copyright infringement

The APKPure Platforms Rules (including without limitation to Term of Use, Copyright Policy and Developer Agreement) do not allow uploading any content that infringes others copyrights. Each user should be responsible for ensuring that they own or have the necessary permissions to the content that they upload on the Platforms. The use of copyrighted content of others without proper authorization or legally valid reason may constitute a violation of the Platform Rules.

This Copyright Policy does not constitute legal advice and should not be treated as a substitute for legal advice. You should seek independent legal advice if you are in doubt as to whether any third party content which you intend to upload to the Platforms is protected by copyright.
Take-down Procedure

If you think that copyright of your materials has been infringed, you are required to send a take-down notice (in the form prescribed by the Copyright Act) to APKPure's Designated email. Upon receipt of a valid take-down notice, APKPure will take reasonable steps to remove or disable access to the material in accordance with the Copyright Act.
Restoration Procedure

As soon as the material has been removed or access disabled, APKPure will take reasonable steps to notify the person who has posted the material (the "Respondent"). The Respondent may, within the prescribed time and in accordance with the Copyright Act, send a valid counter-notice (in the form prescribed by the Copyright Act) to the above Apkpure’s Designated Email, to restore the material. APKPure will then take reasonable steps to restore the material if it is technically and practically feasible to do so unless the copyright owner commences court proceedings to prevent the restoration of the material and APKPure is informed of such proceedings.
Form of take-down notice

A valid take-down notice to be sent to APKPure shall be signed by the complainant and contain all of the following information:
- name, address, telephone number, facsimile number (if any) and email address of the complainant and the address for service in Singapore if complainant is not resident in Singapore;
- sufficient information to enable APKPure to identify the infringing material;
- a statement that the complainant requires APKPure to remove/disable access to the material;
- a statement that the complainant, in good faith, believes that the material is an infringing copy;
- a statement that the information in the take-down notice is accurate;
- a statement that the complainant is the copyright owner or exclusive licensee or that he/she is authorised to act on behalf of such owner or exclusive licensee; and

Form of counter-notice

A valid counter-notice to be sent to APKPure shall be signed by the Respondent and contain all of the following information:
- name, address, telephone number, facsimile number (if any) and email address of the Respondent and the address for service in Singapore if the Respondent is not resident in Singapore;
- sufficient information to enable APKPure to identify the material removed or to which access was disabled before it was removed or disabled;
- a statement that the Respondent, in good faith, believes that the material was removed or access was disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification or the material does not infringe copyright in any material;
- a statement that the information in the counter-notice is accurate; and
- agreement that the Respondent submits to the jurisdiction of the Singapore courts.
Please note that under the Copyright Act, if a party is found to have made a statement which is false or which he does not believe to be true in his take-down notice or counter-notice, he shall be liable in damages to any party who suffers any loss/damage as a result of that notice or counter-notice and if convicted, he shall be liable to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years.
