Copyright Infringement
The Apksofthub Platforms Rules (including, without limitation, the 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 on the Platforms. The use of copyrighted content without proper authorization or a legally valid reason may violate 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 uncertain whether any third-party content you intend to upload is protected by copyright.
Take-down Procedure
If you think your materials’ copyright has been infringed, you are required to send a take-down notice (in the form prescribed by the Copyright Act) to Apksofthub’s designated email. Upon receiving a valid take-down notice, Apksofthub will take reasonable steps to remove or disable access to the material by the Copyright Act.
Restoration Procedure
Once the material has been removed or access disabled, Apksofthub will take reasonable steps to notify the person who posted the material (the “Respondent”). The Respondent may, within the prescribed time and by the Copyright Act, send a valid counter-notice (in the form prescribed by the Copyright Act) to Apksofthub’s designated email, to restore the material. Apksofthub will take reasonable steps to restore the material, provided it is technically and practically feasible unless the copyright owner initiates court proceedings to prevent the restoration and Apksofthub is informed of such proceedings.

- A statement that the complainant requires Apksofthub to remove/disable access to the material;
- A statement that the complainant, in good faith, believes the material is an infringing copy;

Form of Counter-notice
A valid counter-notice sent to Apksofthub shall be signed by the Respondent and contain the following information:
- Name, address, telephone number, facsimile number (if any), and email address of the Respondent, and an address for service in Singapore if the Respondent is not resident in Singapore;
- Sufficient information to enable Apksofthub to identify the material removed or to which access was disabled before it was removed or disabled;

- A statement that the information in the counter-notice is accurate;
- Agreement that the Respondent submits to the jurisdiction of the Singapore courts.
Please note, under the Copyright Act, if a party is found to have made a false statement in their take-down notice or counter-notice, they shall be liable for damages to any party who suffers loss or damage as a result. They may also face a fine of up to $10,000 or imprisonment for up to 2 years if convicted.
