DMCA Policy – Copyright Notice for HappyModWorld
HappyModWorld respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our visitors to do the same. This page explains how we handle copyright concerns under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and how rights holders can request removal of content they believe infringes their copyright.
Last updated: [22-August-2026]
Our Position on Content and Copyright
HappyModWorld is an independent content and resource platform. We publish original guides, reviews, and troubleshooting articles about modded Android apps and games. We do not host modded APK files ourselves — where relevant, our pages link to third-party sources for downloads.
We are not affiliated with the original developers of any app or game discussed on this site, including HappyMod. All trademarks, game titles, app names, and logos referenced on HappyModWorld remain the property of their respective owners, and are used here only for identification and informational purposes.
If you believe content on HappyModWorld infringes your copyright — whether that’s text, images, or a link pointing to infringing material — this page explains how to notify us.
What the DMCA Covers
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act gives copyright owners a legal process to request removal of infringing material hosted or linked by a website. It also gives site users a way to dispute a takedown if they believe it was made in error. We follow this process in good faith for any valid notice we receive.
How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you believe your copyrighted work has been used on HappyModWorld without authorization, send a written notice to our designated agent (contact details below) that includes all of the following:
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, described with enough detail for us to locate it.
- Identification of the material on HappyModWorld you claim is infringing, including the specific URL(s).
- Your contact information — name, mailing address, phone number, and email address.
- A statement of good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement of accuracy, made under penalty of perjury, confirming the information in the notice is correct and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Notices missing any of these elements may not be actionable under the DMCA, and we may request clarification before proceeding.
What Happens After We Receive a Notice
Once we receive a complete and valid takedown notice, we will:
- Review the claim
- Remove or disable access to the identified material, where appropriate
- Notify the party who posted or is responsible for the material, when applicable
- Keep a record of the notice for our compliance files
We aim to act on valid notices promptly, though response time can vary depending on notice volume and complexity.
Filing a Counter-Notification
If content you posted or linked was removed and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. A valid counter-notice must include:
- Your name, address, phone number, and email address
- Identification of the material removed and its location 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
- A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or, if outside the US, an applicable judicial district), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice
- Your physical or electronic signature
Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we may reinstate the material unless the original complainant informs us they have filed a court action.
Repeat Infringer Policy
HappyModWorld will, in appropriate circumstances, remove or restrict content or links associated with users or sources that are the subject of repeated, valid infringement notices.
Designated DMCA Agent
Copyright notices and counter-notices should be sent to:
DMCA Agent, HappyModWorld Email: [happymodworld381@gmail.com]
Please note: this contact is for copyright infringement notices only. General support or app-related questions should go through our regular contact page instead.
A Note on Third-Party Download Links
Some pages on HappyModWorld link to third-party sources for downloading modded APKs. We do not control the content hosted on those external sites. If your copyright concern relates to a file hosted elsewhere, you may need to file a separate notice with that site’s own host or platform, in addition to notifying us if the link itself is the issue.
Key Takeaways
- HappyModWorld does not host modded APK files directly; we publish original content and, where relevant, link to third-party sources.
- Valid DMCA takedown notices must include specific legal elements — identification of the work, the infringing material, contact details, and signed statements.
- Users whose content is removed can file a counter-notification if they believe the removal was a mistake.
- Repeat, valid infringement notices may lead to removal of associated content or links.
- All trademarks and game/app names on this site belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only.
