Copyright Policy

APKDownloaded abides by Singapore Copyright Act 2021 and honors other applicable copyright laws, which protect the intellectual property rights of others. We expect all users to do the same. This Copyright Policy applies to the website www.apkdownloaded.com (the "Site") to address claims of infringement related to copyrighted material owned or controlled by a third party.

Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that an APK file available on APKDownloaded violates your intellectual property rights, you can submit a takedown notice using the link below:

Submit a Takedown Notice

Note: Takedown notices can ONLY be accepted through this link. If you are an agent, the takedown requests will be accepted ONLY if you have valid authorization.

The designated email [email protected] should ONLY be contacted for other queries related to intellectual property issues rather than takedown notices. Takedown notices sent to any APKDownloaded email address may be delayed or ignored.

Copyright Infringement

The APKDownloaded Site Rules (including without limitation to Terms of Use, Copyright Policy, and Developer Agreement) do not allow uploading any content that infringes others' copyrights. Each user is responsible for ensuring that they own or have the necessary permissions for the content they upload to the Site. The use of copyrighted content of others without proper authorization or legally valid reason may constitute a violation of the Site 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 that you intend to upload to the Site is protected by copyright.

Take-Down Procedure

If you believe that your copyrighted material has been infringed, you are required to send a takedown notice (in the form prescribed by the Copyright Act) to APKDownloaded's designated email. Upon receipt of a valid takedown notice, APKDownloaded 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, APKDownloaded 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-designated email, to restore the material. APKDownloaded 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 APKDownloaded is informed of such proceedings.

Form of Take-Down Notice

A valid takedown notice to be sent to APKDownloaded must 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 the complainant is not resident in Singapore.
  • Sufficient information to enable APKDownloaded to identify the infringing material.
  • A statement that the complainant requires APKDownloaded 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 takedown notice is accurate.
  • A statement that the complainant is the copyright owner or exclusive licensee or is authorized to act on behalf of such owner or exclusive licensee.
  • Agreement that the complainant submits to the jurisdiction of the Singapore courts.

Form of Counter-Notice

A valid counter-notice to be sent to APKDownloaded must 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 APKDownloaded 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 that the material does not infringe copyright.
  • A statement that the information in the counter-notice is accurate.
  • Agreement that the Respondent submits to the jurisdiction of the Singapore courts.

Legal Consequences

Please note that under the Copyright Act, if a party is found to have made a statement that is false or which they do not believe to be true in their takedown notice or counter-notice, they shall be liable in damages to any party who suffers any loss/damage as a result of that notice or counter-notice. If convicted, they shall be liable to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years.
