Copyright Policy (DMCA)

This Copyright Policy is incorporated into, and forms part of, our Terms of Service (see Section 18). We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect users of the Service to do the same. Smart Study Lab is operated by Manishkumar Thakar.

Reporting copyright infringement

If you believe that material available on the Service infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to our Designated Agent (below) that includes:

• (a) a description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed;
• (b) a description of where the allegedly infringing material is located on the Service;
• (c) your contact information, including address, telephone number, and email address;
• (d) a statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• (e) a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf; and
• (f) your physical or electronic signature (a typed full name is acceptable).

Notices that do not contain all of these items may not be actionable. Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

Designated Agent

What we do with a valid notice

We may remove or disable access to material that is the subject of a valid notice, and we may notify the user who uploaded it. Because Smart Study Lab keeps each user's content private to their own account and does not host a public library, a notice will usually involve text a user extracted from a document they uploaded.

Counter-notification

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you may send our Designated Agent a counter-notification that includes: (a) a description of the material removed and where it appeared before removal; (b) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief the material was removed because of mistake or misidentification; (c) your name, address, telephone number, and email address; (d) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice; and (e) your physical or electronic signature. If the original complainant does not notify us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material.

Repeat infringers

We will terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the rights of others, in appropriate circumstances.
