DMCA Policy

1. DMCA Compliance

Studocu Downloader ("we," "our," or "us") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and other applicable copyright laws.

This tool is designed as an educational resource for students to access study materials for personal educational use. We do not host, store, or distribute copyrighted content on our servers.

Important Notice

Studocu Downloader is a tool that processes document links in real-time. We do not maintain copies of downloaded documents on our servers. The tool operates by fetching documents on-demand and serving them directly to the user without permanent storage.

2. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible through our service, you may notify our copyright agent as required by the DMCA.

2.1 Required Information

To file a copyright infringement notification with us, you must provide a written communication that includes the following information (as required by DMCA 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, with sufficient detail to permit us to locate the material.
Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Legal Requirement

Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability. Please ensure that your notice complies with all legal requirements.

3. Our Response to DMCA Notices

3.1 Notice Evaluation

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will:

Promptly review the notice for completeness and compliance with DMCA requirements
Investigate the alleged infringement
Take appropriate action as required by law
Notify the user who submitted the infringing material (if identifiable)

3.2 Actions We May Take

Depending on our investigation, we may take one or more of the following actions:

Block access to specific infringing material through our tool
Implement technical measures to prevent access to specific content
Terminate access for users who are repeat infringers
Cooperate with copyright owners and legal authorities as required by law

Important Clarification

Since our tool does not host content but processes links in real-time, our ability to remove specific content is limited to blocking access to specific URLs or implementing technical restrictions. We cannot "take down" content from third-party platforms like Studocu.

4. Counter-Notification

If you believe that material you posted was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification pursuant to DMCA 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(2) and (3).

4.1 Required Information

A counter-notification must include:

Your physical or electronic signature
Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification
Your name, address, and telephone number
A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if outside the United States, that you consent to jurisdiction in any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification

4.2 Process After Counter-Notification

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original DMCA notice. If we do not receive notice within 10 business days that the original complainant is seeking a court order to prevent further infringement of the material, we may restore the material.

Legal Advisory

Filing a counter-notification may lead to legal proceedings between you and the complaining party to determine ownership. Please consult with an attorney before filing a counter-notification to ensure you understand your rights and potential consequences.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also at our sole discretion limit access to our service and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

5.1 Determining Repeat Infringement

We consider the following factors when determining repeat infringement:

Number and pattern of valid DMCA notices received
Nature of the infringing activity
User's response to previous notices
Whether the user has made any counter-notifications
Any other relevant circumstances

6. Educational Use & Fair Use

Our tool is designed for educational purposes. We encourage users to respect copyright laws and only download materials for which they have legitimate educational purposes under applicable fair use/fair dealing provisions.

For Students

As students, you should be aware that copyright laws generally allow limited use of copyrighted materials for educational purposes, research, and private study. However, these exceptions have limitations. Always consider whether your use qualifies as fair use/fair dealing under applicable laws.
