Copyright Policy

How to report content that infringes copyright, how to counter a mistaken report, and what we do about both.

Last updated

The Indonesian text is the operative and binding version. The English text is provided as a courtesy translation only and does not govern. Where the two differ in meaning, the Indonesian text prevails. This follows Law No. 24 of 2009.

1. Scope#

Apex carries study material, articles, comments and other content — some written by us, some by third-party creators, some produced by automated systems. We respect copyright and respond to infringement reports about content hosted on our platform.

This policy follows Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright and the obligations of electronic system operators under Government Regulation No. 71 of 2019 and its implementing rules, together with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. §512, so far as it applies.

2. Reporting a copyright infringement#

Send a notice to [email protected] with the subject "Copyright Infringement Notice". For us to act on it, your notice must contain all of the following:

  1. A signature — physical or electronic — of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
  2. A description of the work you claim is infringed, in enough detail for us to identify it; if it covers many works, a list of them.
  3. The exact URL of the content on Apex you are reporting. A general page address is not enough — we cannot remove something we cannot locate.
  4. Your name, address, telephone number and email address so we can contact you.
  5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the reported use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are authorised to act for the rights holder. You make this statement understanding the legal consequences if it is wrong.

3. What we do#

  1. We check the notice is complete. An incomplete notice is returned with a note on what is missing.
  2. For a complete and apparently valid notice, we disable access to the reported content.
  3. We notify the uploader, pass on a copy of the notice, and explain their right to counter-notify.
  4. We record the notice against the account concerned for the purposes of our repeat infringer policy.

4. Counter-notice#

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was wrong — because you hold the rights, because you have permission, or because your use falls within the permitted uses in Articles 43 to 51 of the Copyright Law — you may send a counter-notice to [email protected] containing:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the removed content and the address where it previously appeared.
  3. A statement that you believe in good faith the content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the competent court for the dispute.

We forward your counter-notice to the complainant. If within 10 to 14 business days the complainant does not tell us they have begun legal proceedings, we may restore the content. We do not decide who is right in a copyright dispute — that is for a court.

5. Repeat infringers#

An account repeatedly the subject of valid infringement notices will be suspended, and closed on a further infringement. For creators this is also a ground for termination under the Creator Agreement. Account closure forfeits any remaining credit balance under the Terms of Service.

6. Designated agent#

Notices may be sent to PT BEHIRE INTERNATIONAL INDONESIA, Ruko Jalur Sutera Timur 6B No. 03, Kelurahan Kunciran, Kecamatan Pinang, Kota Tangerang, Provinsi Banten 15144, Indonesia, or by email to [email protected].
