Posting content that infringes others’ rights or is illegal is prohibited. We may remove or restrict violating content and take action on violating accounts.

(D) Retention of Content
When content is deleted or an account is closed, we may retain backups for a reasonable period. Copies saved or re-shared by other users may remain available to them.
(E) Ownership of Content and Platform Transactions
Anything you purchase, publish, upload, create, or share on Tapylapy remains, in principle, your property or subject to your legal rights depending on the nature of that content or digital asset, unless applicable law or a separate agreement states otherwise.
However, you agree that if the platform permanently ceases operation, is merged, sold, transferred to another legal entity, or permanently discontinues certain services, Tapylapy may transfer, preserve, archive, manage, or otherwise process content, data, and service-related operational rights to the extent necessary to wind down, transfer, or comply with legal and regulatory obligations, as permitted by law.
This does not necessarily mean transferring your personal ownership beyond what the law permits, but you agree in advance to any legal, operational, or organizational steps reasonably required to manage content and data if the service is discontinued or transferred.
(F) Your Full Responsibility for Your Actions and Content
You are the first and final person responsible for everything you do on Tapylapy, including posting, buying, selling, promoting, commenting, messaging, uploading files, sharing links, and any other interaction through the platform.

- All rights in Tapylapy’s technology, design, and trademarks belong to us and our licensors.
- Users do not acquire ownership in the Service itself.
(A) Anti-Piracy and Anti-Theft Commitment
Tapylapy is a constructive platform and supports individuals, companies, and rights holders in combating piracy, intellectual theft, unauthorized copying, and misuse of creative works.
We continuously strive to remove content that infringes copyright, trademarks, or other proprietary rights, as well as stolen or unlawfully copied content. However, due to the nature of user-generated content, mistakes or delays in detection may occasionally occur.
We therefore welcome good-faith and properly supported reports regarding stolen or infringing material, and we will review and take appropriate action within a reasonable time and as quickly as practicable under our internal procedures.
5) Security & Legal Cooperation
We work to protect accounts and content, but no service is perfectly secure. Keep your password safe and notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.
(A) Cooperation with Authorities and Legal Obligations
Tapylapy may preserve, use, or disclose account data, content, technical logs, or other information related to your use of the Service if required by law, court order, lawful governmental request, or when we reasonably believe in good faith that such action is necessary to investigate unlawful activity, prevent harm, protect users, protect the platform, or protect the public.
By using the platform, you acknowledge and agree that Tapylapy may cooperate with competent authorities in matters involving crime, threats, extortion, violence, fraud, rights violations, or any conduct that may endanger individuals, the public, or the state, in accordance with applicable law.
(B) Respect for National Laws and Social Norms
Tapylapy seeks to respect the laws, regulations, and general social norms of the countries and communities in which it operates or reaches, and works to limit content or behavior that promotes destruction, threats to public order, domestic violence, intimidation, social corruption, or other harmful conduct rejected by law or society.
The platform is intended as a constructive means of positive and responsible use, not as a tool for abuse, disruption, or disorder, and we reserve the right to remove or restrict any content or account that conflicts with these principles.
(C) Public Peace and Safety Policy
Tapylapy supports peace and safety and opposes criminal, threatening, terrorizing, or violent conduct. If any user is found using the platform to threaten killing, engage in extortion, incite violence, disturb social peace, support criminal behavior, or spread fear among people, we may suspend, delete, or restrict the account and may cooperate with the relevant authorities as permitted by law.
We welcome peaceful users who use the platform lawfully and ethically. Users who attempt to harm others or society are not welcome.
6) Third-Party Links & Services
The Service may contain links to or integrations with third-party sites and services. We are not responsible for their content, products, or policies. Your use of them is at your own risk.
7) Termination & Suspension
We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, our policies, or the law. Where appropriate, we will try to provide notice and may offer an appeal process. You can delete your account at any time in Settings.
8) Indemnification
If you use the Service for commercial purposes without complying with Business Terms, or cause claims due to your use, you agree to indemnify Tapylapy and its affiliates and employees for reasonable claims and losses (including attorneys’ fees) as permitted by law.
9) Disclaimer
Tapylapy and its content are provided “as is” and “as available” without any express or implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
We do not guarantee the Service will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of harmful components, or that all content will always be accurate or complete.
10) Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, or goodwill.
Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is capped at US $100 (or the equivalent in your local currency), except where the law does not allow such limitations.
11) Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

12) Advertising & Public Content — Responsibility and Protection
Publishing Responsibility. You are solely responsible for any content you post on Tapylapy, including commercial ads and public or personal content. You confirm you have all rights and that your content complies with applicable laws and Tapylapy policies.
No Tapylapy Responsibility. Tapylapy is not the publisher of user content and does not endorse it. We are not responsible for its accuracy, legality, or consequences.
Protection of Marks & Personalities. We provide strong reporting and enforcement tools to protect against trademark misuse, impersonation, unlawful defamation, misleading ads, and other harmful uses. We may remove or limit such content or take account-level action.
Limits of Protection & Free Expression. This protection does not restrict lawful opinions or non-defamatory criticism. We may ask for documentation before acting and do not guarantee removal unless content violates law or our policies.
Advertiser Obligations. If your content is promotional/advertising, you must clearly disclose it, comply with advertising and consumer-protection laws, and not imply sponsorship, partnership, or licensing unless true and authorized.
Indemnification & Content Responsibility. You are fully responsible for any claims arising from your advertising or public content and agree to defend and indemnify Tapylapy and its employees from related damages and costs.
13) Peace, Safety & Prohibited Content
Tapylapy strictly prohibits any content or activity involving bloodshed, killing, mutilation, torture, incitement to physical harm, or glorification of violent crimes against any human being or any living creature.
The platform also prohibits publishing any images, videos, or materials showing firearms with live ammunition or their use in a threatening, promotional, criminal, or inciting manner, as well as any content intended to intimidate, terrorize, or spread violence.
We may remove such content immediately, restrict access to it, disable related accounts, or cooperate with competent authorities where necessary and as permitted by law.
14) General Terms

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Tapylapy regarding the Service. If any provision is found invalid, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or removed, and the rest will remain in force.
