This Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Policy explains how TheAPKValley complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512, and how we respond to claims of copyright infringement.
TheAPKValley respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects the same from its users, contributors, and visitors. This policy outlines the procedure for submitting copyright infringement notices and counter-notifications.
Nature of Our Website:
TheAPKValley is an informational platform that provides:
- App and game reviews
- Feature descriptions and guides
- General information related to Android applications and APK files
We do not host or store copyrighted APK files on our own servers unless explicitly stated. Any download links, if present, are collected from publicly available third-party sources and redirect users to external websites over which we have no control.
Before Submitting a DMCA Notice:
Before submitting a DMCA complaint, please ensure that:
- You are the copyright owner or are legally authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner
- The reported material is not a case of fair use, review, commentary, or informational reference
- The allegedly infringing material is available directly on TheAPKValley, not solely on a third-party hosting service
- You understand that knowingly submitting a false or misleading claim may result in legal liability
If the material is hosted on an external third-party website, please contact that hosting provider directly.
