Copyright

APKGo adheres to the Singapore Copyright Act 2021 and respects other relevant copyright laws, which safeguard the intellectual property rights of others. We expect all users to do the same. This Copyright Policy is applicable to the website www.apkgo.vn and the mobile application APKGo (collectively referred to as the “Platforms”) to address claims of infringement related to copyrighted material owned or controlled by a third party.

Should you believe that an app available on APKGo infringes your intellectual property rights, you may submit a takedown notice through the designated channel.


Takedown Notice Submission

It is important to note that takedown notices can only be accepted through this specific channel. If you are an agent, your takedown requests will only be accepted if you possess valid authorization.

The designated email address [email protected] should only be used for inquiries related to intellectual property rights other than takedown notices. Takedown notices sent to any other APKGo email address may be delayed or ignored.


Copyright Infringement

The APKGo Platforms Rules, which include but are not limited to the Term of Use, Copyright Policy, prohibit the uploading of any content that infringes on others’ copyrights. Each user is responsible for ensuring that they own or have the necessary permissions for the content they upload on the Platforms. The unauthorized use of copyrighted content or use without a legally valid reason may constitute a violation of the Platform Rules.

This Copyright Policy is not legal advice and should not be considered a substitute for legal advice. If you are uncertain whether any third-party content you intend to upload to the Platforms is protected by copyright, you should seek independent legal advice.


Takedown Procedure

If you believe that your copyright has been infringed, you are required to send a takedown notice (in the form prescribed by the Copyright Act) to APKGo’s designated email. Upon receiving a valid takedown notice, APKGo will take reasonable steps to remove or disable access to the material in accordance with the Copyright Act.


Restoration Procedure

Once the material has been removed or access disabled, APKGo will take reasonable steps to notify the person who 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 APKGo’s designated email to restore the material. APKGo will then take reasonable steps to restore the material if it is technically and practically feasible to do so, unless the copyright owner initiates legal proceedings to prevent the restoration of the material and APKGo is informed of such proceedings.


Form of Takedown Notice

A valid takedown notice to be sent to APKGo should be signed by the complainant and include all of the following information:

1. The complainant’s name, address, telephone number, fax number (if any), and email address, as well as the address for service in Singapore if the complainant is not a resident of Singapore;

2. Sufficient information to enable APKGo to identify the infringing material;

3. A statement that the complainant requires APKGo to remove/disable access to the material;

4. A statement that the complainant, in good faith, believes that the material is an infringing copy;

5. A statement that the information in the takedown notice is accurate;

6. A statement that the complainant is the copyright owner or exclusive licensee, or is authorized to act on behalf of such owner or licensee; and

7. An agreement that the complainant submits to the jurisdiction of the Singapore courts.


Form of Counter-Notice

A valid counter-notice to be sent to APKGo should be signed by the Respondent and include all of the following information:

1. The Respondent’s name, address, telephone number, fax number (if any), and email address, as well as the address for service in Singapore if the Respondent is not a resident of Singapore;

2. Sufficient information to enable APKGo to identify the material that was removed or to which access was disabled;

3. A statement that the Respondent, in good faith, believes that the material was removed or access was disabled due to a mistake or misidentification, or that the material does not infringe copyright;

4. A statement that the information in the counter-notice is accurate; and

5. An 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 false statement or a statement they do not believe to be true in their takedown notice or counter-notice, they shall be liable for damages to any party who suffers loss or damage as a result of that notice or counter-notice. If convicted, they may be subject to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years.
