6. Repeat Infringer Policy

We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, the access of repeat infringers. While we do not maintain a “three-strikes” policy, users who repeatedly infringe copyrights may have their accounts terminated, be banned from the Website, or face other appropriate sanctions.

Factors we consider include:

  • Frequency of infringement notices received regarding a user’s content
  • Good faith efforts by the user to comply with copyright law
  • Previous warnings provided to the user
  • Severity of the infringement

7. Content You Submit to apkpurk

7.1 Ownership and Authorization

When you submit content to apkpurk (including comments, app suggestions, testimonials, feedback, or other materials):

  • You represent and warrant that you own the content or have all necessary permissions to submit it
  • You grant apkpurk a license to use, reproduce, distribute, and display your submitted content on the Website and in related materials
  • You represent that the content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights

7.2 Removal of Infringing User Content

If we become aware that user-submitted content infringes a third party’s copyright, we will remove the content and may terminate the user’s account in accordance with our Repeat Infringer Policy.

8.1 Original Content

All original content published by apkpurk, including reviews, tutorials, guides, and commentary, is owned by apkpurk or licensed to us by third parties. Unauthorized use of our original content is prohibited.

8.2 Third-Party Content

When we include third-party content (such as app screenshots, quotes, images, or links), we do so under fair use and applicable law. Such use is typically limited to:

  • Small excerpts for commentary or criticism
  • Screenshots for illustrative purposes in product reviews
  • Linked references to original sources
  • Content licensed or authorized by the copyright holder

8.3 Fair Use

We believe many of our uses of third-party materials constitute fair use under 17 U.S.C. § 107. Fair use permits limited use of copyrighted materials for purposes including criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research, without requiring permission from the copyright holder.

However, if you believe we have exceeded fair use or otherwise infringed your copyright, please submit a DMCA notice as described in Section 3.

9. Disclaimers and Limitations

9.2 No Legal Advice

This DMCA Policy is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. If you have questions about copyright law or whether a particular use constitutes infringement, we recommend consulting with an attorney licensed to practice intellectual property law.

9.3 Safe Harbor
