Copyright and takedown

Private study only

StudyBoom turns material that a user uploads into audio and notes for that user alone. Everything stays private to the account that uploaded it: there's no sharing, there are no public links, and nothing is distributed. Our terms require users to upload only material they're entitled to use for their own study.

Sending a copyright notice (DMCA)

If you believe material in StudyBoom infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent that includes:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed;
3. identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough information for us to locate it. Because content is private, include anything that helps, such as the account email or file name if known;
4. your name, address, phone number and email;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
6. a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Designated agent: [name], Fintenso International LLC, 7901 4th St N, St. Petersburg, FL 33702, USA, email: [copyright email]. Registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, registration number [DMCA designated agent number].

Counter-notices

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you can send a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) to the same agent, with your signature, identification of the removed material, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe it was removed by mistake, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, outside the US, any district where we may be found).

Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright, in appropriate circumstances.
