ScholarPus respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects visitors, contributors, and other users of our website to do the same.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that the content published on ScholarPus is original, properly attributed, or used in a manner we believe is permitted by applicable law.

If you believe that material published on ScholarPus infringes your copyright, you can contact us and request that the material be reviewed.

1. Copyright Ownership

Unless otherwise stated, original articles, text, graphics, logos, design elements, and other materials created specifically for ScholarPus are owned by ScholarPus or are used with appropriate permission.

Third-party names, logos, trademarks, images, quotations, and other materials remain the property of their respective owners.

Nothing on ScholarPus should be interpreted as transferring ownership of third-party intellectual property.

2. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner and believe that content on ScholarPus infringes your copyright, please contact us with sufficient information for us to identify and review the material.

Your notice should include:

Your contact information, including an email address
Identification of the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed
The URL or specific location of the material on ScholarPus that you believe infringes your copyright

Providing complete information helps us investigate your complaint more efficiently.

3. Where to Send a Copyright Notice

Please use a clear subject such as:

Copyright Infringement Notice

We may request additional information if the original notice does not provide enough information for us to investigate the complaint.

4. What Happens After We Receive a Complaint

After receiving a sufficiently detailed copyright complaint, we may:

Review the reported material
Contact the person responsible for the content, where appropriate
Temporarily restrict access to the material
Remove the material where appropriate
Request additional information from the complainant
Take other reasonable action based on the circumstances

Submitting a complaint does not automatically guarantee that content will be removed.

We may consider whether the reported use is authorized, licensed, legally permitted, or otherwise protected before taking action.

5. Counter-Notification

If content was removed or restricted because of a copyright complaint and you believe the removal was made in error, you may contact us with an explanation and relevant supporting information.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, we may consider a counter-notification or other response.

A counter-notification should generally include:

Identification of the material that was removed or restricted
The original location of the material
An explanation of why you believe the material was removed or restricted incorrectly
Your name and contact information
Any relevant evidence of authorization or permission to use the material

We may request additional information before restoring content.

6. Repeat Infringement

ScholarPus may take appropriate action against users or contributors who repeatedly publish material that infringes the intellectual property rights of others.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include removing content, restricting access, or terminating permission to submit content to the website.

7. False or Misleading Complaints

Copyright complaints should only be submitted when you have a genuine basis for believing that your copyright has been infringed.

Submitting false, fraudulent, or deliberately misleading information may have legal consequences.

If you are uncertain whether particular material infringes copyright, we recommend obtaining appropriate legal advice before submitting a formal complaint.

8. User-Submitted Content

If ScholarPus allows users, contributors, or other third parties to submit content, the person submitting that content is responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights, permissions, or legal basis to submit and publish it.

By submitting content, you should not knowingly provide material that infringes another person’s copyright, trademark, privacy rights, or other legal rights.

ScholarPus reserves the right to review, edit, restrict, or remove submitted content where appropriate.

9. Images and Third-Party Materials

We respect the rights of photographers, designers, publishers, universities, companies, and other copyright owners.

If you believe that an image, graphic, article, or other third-party material appearing on ScholarPus has been used without appropriate authorization, please contact us with the relevant URL and information about your rights in the material.

We will review legitimate complaints and take appropriate action.

10. Copyright Questions

If you have a general question about copyright or material published on ScholarPus, please contact us through our Contact Us page.

We may not be able to provide legal advice, but we will review copyright-related concerns involving material published on our website.
