Terms of Use

1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of apkventuresllc.com (the "Site") and any mobile or web application we publish (each an "App"). By using the Site or an App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use them.

You must be at least 18 to use the Site or subscribe to our newsletter. An App may set a different minimum age in its App Store listing. If you accept these Terms for a business, you confirm you have authority to bind it.

2. Who We Are

The Site and Apps are operated by APK Ventures LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company ("APK Ventures," "we," "us"). Some of our businesses operate under registered trade names (DBAs). Every DBA is a trade name of APK Ventures LLC, not a separate company. This is why app stores list "APK Ventures LLC" as the seller of our Apps.

3. Our Services

The Site describes business services we offer, including online marketing, application development, and sales services ("Services").

• Information only. Site content, examples, and prices are general information. They are not an offer, quote, or promise of results.
• Signed agreements control. We perform Services only under a signed proposal, statement of work, or service agreement. If it conflicts with these Terms, the signed agreement controls.
• Client apps. Apps we build for clients are published under the client's own developer account and are governed by the client's terms. These Terms cover only Apps published by APK Ventures LLC.
• No guaranteed outcomes. Results such as traffic, rankings, sales, or app store approval depend on factors outside our control.
• Not professional advice. Nothing on the Site is legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice.

3.1 Client Engagements

This section applies if you hire APK Ventures LLC, or any of its DBAs, for website design, marketing campaigns, graphic design, newsletters, social media, app development, sales support, or similar work. It sets baseline expectations. Your signed agreement governs the details.

• Contracting party. All engagements are contracted with APK Ventures LLC, including work marketed under a DBA. Invoices, contracts, and payments are in the name of APK Ventures LLC.
• Signed agreement required. Nothing is binding until both parties sign a Master Services Agreement and a Statement of Work (SOW). Quotes and proposals expire after 30 days unless they state otherwise. If documents conflict, the SOW controls first, then the Master Services Agreement, then these Terms.
• Client materials. You confirm you own or have permission to use all logos, images, copy, data, and other materials you give us. You also confirm that every email list, contact list, or customer data you provide was collected lawfully, with any consent the law requires, including under the CAN-SPAM Act and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). You are responsible for claims arising from materials you provide.
• Accounts and approvals. You approve all campaigns, ads, newsletters, and published content before they go live, unless your SOW says otherwise. Where possible, ad accounts, domains, hosting, and developer accounts are registered in your name, with access granted to us.
• Third-party costs. Ad spend, hosting, domains, software subscriptions, stock media licenses, and app store fees are your responsibility unless the SOW includes them. Their providers' terms apply.
• No guaranteed approvals or results. We follow platform rules, but we do not control, and cannot guarantee, approval or results from Apple, Google, Meta, email providers, search engines, or other platforms.
• Ownership. When you have paid in full, you own the final deliverables created specifically for you, as described in your SOW. APK Ventures keeps ownership of its pre-existing and general-purpose tools, templates, code libraries, frameworks, and know-how. You receive a license to use any of these that are part of your deliverables. Third-party materials remain subject to their own licenses.
• Portfolio. We may show completed work and your name in our portfolio and marketing unless you opt out in writing or your SOW says otherwise. We never show confidential information.
• Your data. When we handle your customers' personal data for you, we do so only on your instructions, as described in our Privacy Policy and your Master Services Agreement.

4. Contact, Newsletter, and Electronic Communications

Contacting us. You can reach us at info@apkventuresllc.com or through our Support page. An inquiry does not create a client relationship or contract. Do not send confidential information, passwords, or account numbers before a written agreement is signed.

Newsletter. If you subscribe, you agree to receive periodic emails with business insights, updates on our Services and ventures, and offers. Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link, and we process unsubscribes within 10 business days. Only subscribe with an email address you own or are authorized to use.

Electronic communications. You agree that notices and agreements we send by email or post on the Site satisfy any requirement that they be in writing.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Site or an App for any unlawful, fraudulent, or deceptive purpose.
• Give false information, impersonate anyone, or subscribe someone else without permission.
• Send spam or malicious code, or try to gain unauthorized access to our systems.
• Scrape or harvest data by automated means without our written permission.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or copy an App, except where the law allows it.
• Interfere with the Site's or an App's operation or security.

We may suspend or end access for anyone who breaks these Terms.

6. Intellectual Property and Feedback

The Site, the Apps, and their content, including text, graphics, logos, software, the name "APK Ventures," and our DBA brands, belong to or are licensed to APK Ventures LLC. They are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may view and print Site pages for personal or internal business reference. Any other use requires our written consent.

If you send ideas or feedback, you give us a free, perpetual, non-exclusive right to use them without obligation to you. Please do not send confidential ideas. Material you share under a signed agreement is governed by that agreement.

To report content you believe infringes your copyright, email info@apkventuresllc.com with the subject line "Copyright Notice." Identify the work, the infringing material, and your contact details.

7. Mobile Apps

This section applies to Apps published by APK Ventures LLC. An App may also have its own license terms or privacy addendum shown in its store listing. Those App-specific terms control for that App.

License. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use each App for personal or internal business use, under these Terms and the rules of the store you downloaded it from.

Accounts. If an App lets you create an account, you can delete it from inside the App or through our account deletion page. Deletion is described in the Privacy Policy.

7.1 Apps downloaded from the Apple App Store

If you download an App from the Apple App Store, you and APK Ventures LLC also agree to the following:

• Acknowledgement. These Terms are between you and APK Ventures LLC only, not Apple. APK Ventures LLC, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content.
• Scope of license. Your license is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. Other accounts linked to the purchaser through Family Sharing or volume purchasing may also use it.
• Maintenance and support. APK Ventures LLC is solely responsible for maintenance and support of the App. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services for the App.
• Warranty. APK Ventures LLC is solely responsible for any product warranty not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App. Any other claims, losses, or costs caused by a failure to conform to a warranty are APK Ventures LLC's responsibility, subject to these Terms.
• Product claims. APK Ventures LLC, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App or your use of it. This includes (a) product liability claims; (b) claims that the App fails to meet any legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims under consumer protection, privacy, or similar laws.
• Intellectual property. If a third party claims that the App or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, APK Ventures LLC, not Apple, is solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging that claim.
• Legal compliance. You represent that (a) you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Developer name and address. Questions, complaints, or claims about the App go to APK Ventures LLC at the contact details in Section 15.
• Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the App, such as your wireless data service agreement.
• Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Once you accept these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

7.2 Apps downloaded from Google Play

If you download an App from Google Play, these Terms are between you and APK Ventures LLC, not Google. Your use of the App is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. If they conflict with these Terms as to your use of Google Play, the Google Play terms control.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site and Apps may link to or rely on third-party websites and services. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, products, or privacy practices. Their own terms govern your use of them.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE AND APPS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. TO THE EXTENT LOUISIANA LAW APPLIES, YOU WAIVE THE WARRANTY AGAINST REDHIBITORY DEFECTS FOR ANY FREE APP OR CONTENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE OR APPS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, APK VENTURES LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, OR DATA, ARISING FROM THE SITE OR AN APP.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THE SITE, AN APP, OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for intentional or gross fault, or for physical injury, where the law (including Louisiana Civil Code article 2004) does not allow it. Liability for paid Services is governed by the signed service agreement.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless APK Ventures LLC and its members, managers, employees, and contractors from claims, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your misuse of the Site or an App, or your violation of these Terms or any law.

12. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by Louisiana law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing any claim, you agree to email info@apkventuresllc.com and try in good faith to resolve the dispute for at least 30 days. Any unresolved dispute will be brought only in the state or federal courts for Lafayette Parish, Louisiana. You and we consent to those courts' jurisdiction. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court instead.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will post the new version here with a new effective date. For material changes, we will also email newsletter subscribers and App account holders. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the change.

14. General

If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any App-specific terms are the entire agreement between you and us about the Site and Apps. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them to an affiliate or a successor to the relevant business.
