Our Commitment to Intellectual Property
ScholarsOutreach respects the intellectual property rights of creators, educators, researchers, universities, publishers, and website owners. We expect users of the platform to do the same. If copyrighted material appears on ScholarsOutreach in a way that you believe is unauthorized, we want to understand the concern and respond through a clear process.
This DMCA Policy explains how copyright owners can contact us, what information helps us review a request, and how a user may respond if they believe material was removed by mistake. We aim to handle copyright concerns with care, fairness, and respect for the law.
How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you believe that material on ScholarsOutreach infringes your copyright, you may send a written takedown notice to our designated contact. The notice should clearly identify the copyrighted work, explain where the allegedly infringing material appears on our website or service, and include enough information for us to contact you.
Please make your request specific. A clear page address, account reference, screenshot description, or other identifying detail helps us find the material quickly. Vague requests may take longer to review because we may need to ask for more information before we can act.
Required Elements of a Valid Takedown Request
A valid request should include your contact information, a description of the copyrighted work, the location of the material you believe is infringing, a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized, and a statement that the information in your notice is accurate. It should also include your physical or electronic signature.
These elements help us confirm that the request is serious and complete. If a notice does not include enough information, we may not be able to remove or restrict access to the material until the missing details are provided.
Counter Notice Procedure
If material you posted or provided through ScholarsOutreach was removed after a copyright complaint, and you believe the removal was a mistake or that you had permission to use the material, you may send us a counter notice. Your counter notice should explain the material involved, why you believe it was removed incorrectly, and how we can contact you.
After receiving a valid counter notice, we may forward it to the original complaining party as required by law. In some situations, the material may be restored if the complaining party does not take further legal action within the required time.
Repeat Infringer Policy
ScholarsOutreach may limit, suspend, or terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe copyright or repeatedly post material that creates valid copyright complaints. We review repeat activity in context, but we also need to protect creators and maintain trust in the platform.
Users should only upload or provide material they have the right to use. If you are unsure whether you may use a piece of content, it is better to seek permission or choose another source before adding it to the service.
DMCA Contact Information
Copyright concerns and DMCA notices may be sent to ScholarsOutreach by email at mfaisal5333@gmail.com. Please include DMCA Notice in the subject line so the request can be recognized quickly. You may also contact us through the website contact page if email is not available.
We will review notices in good faith and respond as appropriate. Sending false or misleading copyright claims can have legal consequences, so please submit a notice only when you honestly believe your rights are being infringed.
