How to send a copyright notice

If you are a copyright owner or are authorized to act for one, you may send a written notice under Section 512 of the U.S. Copyright Act. To help us evaluate and locate the material, include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature, or the signature of a person authorized to act for the copyright owner.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. If your notice covers several works, you may provide a representative list.
  3. Identification of the specific material you want us to review and information reasonably sufficient to find it.
  4. Your name and contact details, including a mailing address, telephone number, and email address if available.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Identifying material in the Studey app

Studey is a mobile and desktop app. A user’s uploaded study materials are not published to public Studey webpages by default, so a public URL may not exist. You can still identify material by giving us as much of the following as you can: the Studey account email associated with it (if known), material title or file name, material or record ID if visible, where it appears in the app, and an approximate upload date. Include a URL only if the material is publicly accessible at one.

Send the notice to the designated agent above. A notice that knowingly makes a material misrepresentation may have legal consequences under Section 512(f). See the text of Section 512 for the statutory requirements.

Review and response

We review notices received by the designated agent. When a notice substantially satisfies the applicable requirements and identifies material on Studey, we will respond expeditiously as required by law, which may include removing or disabling access to the identified material.

Where appropriate and permitted by law, we will notify the account holder associated with the material and provide information about the notice and the counter-notice process. We may share a copy of a notice or response with the other party when necessary to administer that process or as required by law. Sending a notice does not guarantee removal; we may request additional details if the material cannot be identified.

How to submit a counter-notice

If you believe your material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter-notice to the designated agent. Under Section 512(g), it generally needs to include:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and where it appeared in Studey before that happened. For private app materials, give the account email, title or file name, record ID if available, and its location in the app.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification.
  • Your name, address, and telephone number; a statement consenting to the jurisdiction specified by Section 512(g)(3); and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or that person’s agent.

Send your counter-notice to dmca@hnicsdev.com or to the postal address above. If we receive a compliant counter-notice, we will follow the statutory process, including forwarding it to the original notice sender and restoring access within the period set by law unless the sender provides notice of a court action seeking to restrain the account holder. A counter-notice is a legal statement; consider getting independent advice before sending one.

Repeat infringement

Studey has a policy to suspend or terminate, in appropriate circumstances, accounts belonging to users who repeatedly infringe copyright. We consider notices, counter-notices, and other relevant information when deciding whether action is appropriate. We may also restrict access to material when required by law or when we have a good-faith basis to believe it infringes another person’s rights.

Questions and updates

For copyright matters, contact the designated agent listed above. For questions about personal information or account deletion, see our Privacy Policy and Delete Account page. We may update this policy and will post the current version here with a revised date.
