DMCA Takedown Policy

Safe Harbor Statement

excelerAItor operates as a service provider under the DMCA and qualifies for safe harbor protection under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) for user-uploaded content. Users of the Service may upload study materials, notes, and documents; we do not review or pre-screen uploaded content.

If you believe that content uploaded by a user infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice to our Designated DMCA Agent using the procedure below. We will respond expeditiously to valid notices.

Filing a Takedown Notice

To submit a copyright takedown notice, send a written communication to our Designated DMCA Agent (contact information below) that includes all of the required elements listed here. Incomplete notices will not be acted upon.

Required Elements of a Takedown Notice

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a valid takedown notice must include all of the following:

1. 1A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf
2. 2Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (e.g., title of the textbook, course packet, or other work)
3. 3Identification of the allegedly infringing material and enough information to locate it (e.g., the account email of the user who uploaded it, if known)
4. 4Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
5. 5A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
6. 6A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf

Counter-Notice Procedure

If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). A valid counter-notice must include:

1. 1Your physical or electronic signature
2. 2Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal
3. 3A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification
4. 4Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district where your address is located (or, if outside the US, any judicial district in which excelerAItor may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice

Send counter-notices to the same Designated DMCA Agent address above with subject line "DMCA Counter-Notice."

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant and may restore the removed material no sooner than 10 business days and no later than 14 business days after receipt, unless the complainant notifies us that they have filed a legal action seeking a court order.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), excelerAItor maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright.

An account may be suspended or permanently terminated upon receipt of multiple valid takedown notices attributable to that account, at our sole discretion.

DMCA Agent Registration

Registration must be renewed every 3 years to remain active; this page will be updated if that ever changes.
