DMCA Takedown Policy

Last Updated: January 2026

At Apelltile.com, we respect the intellectual property rights of all creators and comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). This policy explains how to submit copyright infringement notices and counter-notices and describes how we process such claims. This policy applies to all users, visitors, customers, vendors, and third-party contributors engaging with our platform.

1. Our Commitment to Copyright Compliance

Apelltile.com is committed to protecting the rights of copyright owners, responding promptly to valid DMCA notices, removing or disabling access to infringing content, and taking appropriate action against repeat violators. We maintain procedures that align with DMCA Section 512.

2. What Is Copyright Infringement?

Copyrighted content includes (but is not limited to) product photos, graphics, website text, product descriptions, logos, artwork, video, audio, and original product designs or patterns. Unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or public display of another party’s copyrighted work is infringement.

3. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe material on Apelltile.com infringes your copyright, submit a DMCA Takedown Notice. To be valid, notices must include the following:

• Your full legal name and physical or electronic signature.
• Contact information: email address, phone number, and mailing address.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed (link, registration certificate, or description).
• Identification of the infringing material on our site (specific URL(s) required).
• A good-faith statement that you believe the use is unauthorized.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

We may request additional information from either party as necessary to complete our review.

5. DMCA Counter-Notice Procedure

If your content was removed and you believe that removal was in error, you may submit a DMCA Counter-Notice. A valid counter-notice must include:

• Your full legal name and physical or electronic signature.

• Identification of the removed content and its original location.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the removal was a mistake or misidentification.

Email: support@apelltile.com (Subject: DMCA Counter-Notice)

If a valid counter-notice is received, we may restore the material unless the original complainant files a court action within the time period required by law.

6. Repeat Infringement Policy

Apelltile.com enforces a zero-tolerance policy for repeat infringement. Accounts or users who repeatedly upload infringing content may have their access restricted or terminated, listings removed permanently, and future submissions prohibited.

7. Misrepresentation & Bad-Faith Claims

Submitting false, misleading, or fraudulent DMCA notices or counter-notices is strictly prohibited. Persons who knowingly misrepresent claims may be liable for damages, attorney fees, and loss of access to our platform. We take bad-faith submissions seriously to protect rights holders and legitimate users.

8. Removal, Restoration & Record Retention

We retain records of DMCA notices, counter-notices, removal logs, and restoration decisions to ensure transparency and legal compliance. Content may remain disabled until disputes are resolved.

9. Use of Copyrighted Material on Apelltile.com

Users, designers, and contributors must ensure that any submitted content is owned by them or properly licensed. By submitting content, users grant Apelltile.com a limited license to display that content unless restricted by law. We may remove content that appears to violate third-party rights.
