Copyright Policy (DMCA)

APAI LLC · Effective October 1, 2026 · How to report infringing content, and how to respond if your content is removed.

Our position

APAI LLC respects the intellectual property of others and expects customers to do the same. We host user-created content — websites built with our site builder and files uploaded to our hosting feature — and we respond to clear notices of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512).

1. Designated agent

Our designated agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is registered with the United States Copyright Office. Notices must be sent to the agent, not to general support:

  • Copyright Agent, APAI LLC
  • 1942 W Gray St, Houston, TX 77019
  • Email: support@wholesaleos.shop (subject line: "DMCA Notice")
  • Our agent registration is listed in the Copyright Office's public directory at dmca.copyright.gov.
We can only act on notices sent to the agent above. Notices sent anywhere else may not reach the right person, and delay in reaching us is the one thing that weakens a safe harbor.

2. How to send a takedown notice

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), your written notice must include all of the following:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for them.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works at one site, a representative list).
  • Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — the exact URL or location on our service.
  • Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

3. What we do when we receive a valid notice

  • We remove or disable access to the material expeditiously.
  • We notify the customer who posted it and give them a copy of the notice.
  • We tell the customer how to submit a counter-notification.
  • We keep a record of the notice and our action.

4. Counter-notification

If your content was removed and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, send our agent a counter-notification containing:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  • Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district where your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.
After we receive a valid counter-notification we will forward it to the original complainant and we will restore the removed material in 10 to 14 business days, unless the complainant notifies us within that period that they have filed a court action to restrain the activity. Restoration in that window is required by 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(2)(C) — it is not something we have discretion to refuse.

5. Repeat infringers

It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances, to suspend or terminate the accounts of customers who repeatedly infringe copyright. We may also remove content and terminate accounts for a single egregious infringement. We accommodate standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify protected works.

6. Warning about misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner, or us. Please be certain before you send a notice or a counter-notice.
