Copyright / DMCA Policy

Copyright / DMCA & Intellectual Property Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

Dracos respects the intellectual property rights of authors, creators, publishers, developers, educators, businesses, and other rights holders.

Because Dracos operates as a marketplace for digital products, products may be uploaded and offered by independent sellers. Sellers are responsible for ensuring that they have the legal right to upload, distribute, license, and sell the digital products they submit.

We do not permit the unauthorized sale, distribution, reproduction, or commercialization of copyrighted or otherwise protected content.

This Copyright / DMCA & Intellectual Property Policy explains how Dracos handles copyright complaints, infringement reports, takedown requests, counter-notifications, and related intellectual property matters.

1. Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to digital products, files, descriptions, images, previews, text, software, educational materials, ebooks, templates, courses, question banks, videos, audio files, documents, graphics, and other content made available through Dracos.

It applies to:

  • Sellers who upload digital products;
  • Buyers who access or purchase digital products;
  • Copyright owners and authorized representatives;
  • Trademark and other intellectual property rights holders;
  • Other parties who believe that content available on Dracos infringes their rights.

2. Seller Responsibility for Copyright

Sellers are solely responsible for the intellectual property rights associated with the products they upload.

Before submitting a product, a seller must have:

  1. Created the product themselves; or
  2. Obtained sufficient rights, permission, license, or authorization to distribute and sell it; or
  3. Otherwise have a lawful basis to make the product available through Dracos.

Sellers must not upload content that they know, or reasonably should know, infringes another person's intellectual property rights.

This includes unauthorized copies of:

  • Books and ebooks;
  • Course materials;
  • Examination papers;
  • GCE or other examination materials;
  • Concours materials;
  • Paid study resources;
  • Software;
  • Source code;
  • Applications;
  • Videos;
  • Audio recordings;
  • Images;
  • Templates;
  • Research papers;
  • Paid reports;
  • Training materials;
  • Subscription-only content;
  • Premium digital resources;
  • Other copyrighted or proprietary materials.

3. Educational and Examination Materials

Educational resources require particular care because many examination papers, textbooks, course materials, answer keys, and preparation resources may be protected by copyright or other intellectual property rights.

Dracos does not authorize sellers to upload or sell copyrighted educational materials merely because those materials are publicly accessible, commonly shared, or widely available online.

For example, a seller must not assume that they have the right to sell an examination paper simply because they found a copy online.

Sellers may offer educational resources where they have appropriate rights or where the material is lawfully created, licensed, permitted, or otherwise legally distributable.

Examples of generally safer products include:

  • Original study guides;
  • Original explanations and solutions;
  • Original mock examinations;
  • Original practice questions;
  • Original revision notes;
  • Original educational templates;
  • Public-domain materials where applicable;
  • Properly licensed educational resources.

Where ownership or authorization is unclear, Dracos may request evidence of the seller's rights before approving or continuing to list a product.

4. Copyright Infringement Reports

If you believe that a product or other content available on Dracos infringes your copyright, you may submit a copyright infringement report.

Reports should be submitted by the copyright owner or an authorized representative whenever possible.

To help us investigate the complaint efficiently, your report should contain sufficient information to identify the copyrighted work and the allegedly infringing material.

5. Information Required in a Copyright Complaint

A copyright complaint should generally include:

A. Identification of the Copyrighted Work

Provide a description of the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed.

Where appropriate, include:

  • Title;
  • Author or creator;
  • Publication information;
  • Original URL or location;
  • Registration information, if applicable;
  • Other information that helps establish ownership.

B. Identification of the Allegedly Infringing Content

Provide enough information for Dracos to locate the allegedly infringing product or content.

This may include:

  • Product name;
  • Product URL;
  • Seller name or username;
  • Product ID;
  • Screenshots;
  • Description of the infringing material;
  • Other identifying information.

C. Your Contact Information

Provide:

  • Full name;
  • Email address;
  • Telephone number, where appropriate;
  • Organization or company name, if applicable;
  • Your relationship to the copyrighted work.

D. Good-Faith Statement

The complaint should include a statement confirming that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.

E. Accuracy and Authority Statement

The complaint should confirm that the information provided is accurate and, where submitted on behalf of a rights holder, that the complainant is authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder.

F. Signature

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative may be required.

6. Where to Submit a Complaint

Copyright complaints and intellectual property notices should be submitted through the official Dracos support/contact channel designated for intellectual property matters.

Copyright Contact: [INSERT OFFICIAL COPYRIGHT EMAIL]

Please use the subject:

Copyright Infringement Notice – Dracos

Do not send passwords, payment-card information, or other unnecessary sensitive information with a copyright complaint.

7. What Happens After a Complaint

After receiving a sufficiently detailed complaint, Dracos may:

  1. Review the submitted information;
  2. Identify the relevant product or content;
  3. Temporarily restrict access to the disputed content where appropriate;
  4. Contact the relevant seller;
  5. Request evidence of ownership or authorization;
  6. Request clarification or additional documentation;
  7. Remove or disable access to the content where appropriate;
  8. Suspend or restrict the seller's account where warranted;
  9. Restore the content if the complaint is determined to be unsupported or otherwise resolved.

The existence of a complaint does not automatically establish that infringement has occurred.

Dracos may take temporary protective measures while an intellectual property dispute is being reviewed.

8. Seller Response

Where appropriate, Dracos may notify the seller that their product has been reported.

The seller may be asked to provide evidence demonstrating that they have the right to distribute or sell the disputed material.

Evidence may include:

  • Original work files;
  • Copyright ownership documentation;
  • License agreements;
  • Distribution agreements;
  • Written permission from the rights holder;
  • Publisher authorization;
  • Commercial licenses;
  • Other relevant documentation.

Dracos may evaluate the information provided by both parties before determining the appropriate action.

9. Counter-Notification

If a seller believes that content was removed or restricted incorrectly, the seller may contact Dracos and request a review.

A counter-notification should explain:

  • Which product or content was removed or restricted;
  • Why the seller believes the action was incorrect;
  • The seller's ownership or authorization;
  • Any supporting documentation;
  • Contact information;
  • Any additional information reasonably necessary to evaluate the dispute.

Dracos may forward relevant information to the complaining party where appropriate and permitted by law.

A counter-notification does not guarantee restoration of the content.

10. Repeat Infringers

Dracos may take stronger enforcement action against sellers or users who repeatedly upload or distribute infringing material.

Depending on the circumstances, enforcement may include:

  • Product removal;
  • Temporary product suspension;
  • Account restrictions;
  • Suspension of seller privileges;
  • Withholding or delaying certain funds where legally and contractually appropriate;
  • Permanent account termination;
  • Removal of associated listings;
  • Other appropriate measures.

Repeated infringement may result in permanent removal from the marketplace.

11. False or Abusive Copyright Complaints

Copyright reporting mechanisms must not be used to:

  • Harass sellers;
  • Remove legitimate competition;
  • Make knowingly false claims;
  • Disrupt legitimate business activity;
  • Abuse the marketplace moderation process;
  • Misrepresent ownership or authorization.

Submitting knowingly false or materially misleading information may result in appropriate action.

Dracos may reject complaints that are clearly incomplete, abusive, fraudulent, or unsupported.

Nothing in this section prevents a legitimate rights holder from submitting a good-faith complaint.

12. Other Intellectual Property Rights

This policy primarily addresses copyright, but Dracos also respects other intellectual property rights.

Reports involving:

  • Trademarks;
  • Trade names;
  • Logos;
  • Designs;
  • Patents;
  • Trade secrets;
  • Privacy or publicity rights;
  • Other proprietary rights

may also be submitted through our official support channels.

The report should clearly identify the right involved and explain how the content allegedly violates that right.

13. Seller Representations

By uploading a product to Dracos, the seller represents that:

  • They have the necessary rights to upload the product;
  • They have the necessary rights to sell or license the product;
  • The product does not knowingly infringe another person's intellectual property;
  • Product descriptions are accurate;
  • Any third-party material has been appropriately authorized where authorization is required;
  • They will cooperate with reasonable copyright investigations;
  • They will provide supporting documentation when reasonably requested.

These obligations are also addressed in the Dracos Seller Agreement.

14. Removal of Disputed Content

Dracos reserves the right to remove, restrict, suspend, or disable access to content where we reasonably believe that:

  • The content may infringe intellectual property rights;
  • The seller cannot demonstrate sufficient authorization;
  • The content violates applicable law;
  • The content violates Dracos's Terms of Service or Seller Agreement;
  • Keeping the content available creates significant legal, security, or platform risk.

Where appropriate, Dracos may also suspend the associated seller account while an investigation is conducted.

15. Refunds Following Copyright Removal

If a purchased product is removed because of a verified copyright or intellectual property issue, Dracos may review affected purchases under its Refund Policy.

Depending on the circumstances, available remedies may include:

  • Replacement with an authorized product;
  • Restoration of access to a lawful replacement;
  • Full refund;
  • Partial refund;
  • Other appropriate resolution.

Refund eligibility may depend on the circumstances of the case and the applicable Refund Policy.

16. Seller Earnings Following Removal

When a product is removed because of an intellectual property complaint, Dracos may temporarily hold or adjust related seller earnings where reasonably necessary to address:

  • Refunds;
  • Chargebacks;
  • Customer claims;
  • Fraud;
  • Legal obligations;
  • Marketplace losses caused by the disputed product.

Any action affecting seller funds will be handled in accordance with the Dracos Terms of Service and Seller Agreement and applicable law.

17. Copyright Protection Does Not Guarantee Legal Determinations

Dracos is a marketplace platform and is not a court or intellectual property tribunal.

Reviewing, restricting, removing, or restoring content does not necessarily constitute a final legal determination regarding ownership or infringement.

Where a dispute cannot reasonably be resolved through the marketplace process, the parties may need to seek appropriate legal or judicial remedies.

18. Cooperation With Legal Authorities

Dracos may cooperate with courts, regulators, law-enforcement agencies, rights holders, and other legally authorized parties where required or permitted by applicable law.

We may preserve or disclose relevant information when legally required or reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with legal obligations;
  • Respond to valid legal requests;
  • Protect users;
  • Investigate fraud or abuse;
  • Protect Dracos and its users;
  • Enforce our agreements;
  • Address intellectual property violations.

19. Copyright and Marketplace Safety

Dracos may use automated and manual moderation mechanisms to identify potentially problematic products.

These mechanisms may include:

  • Seller declarations;
  • Product review;
  • Content moderation;
  • Duplicate-content checks;
  • User reports;
  • Automated risk signals;
  • Administrative review.

No automated system can identify every possible infringement. Users and rights holders are encouraged to report suspected violations.

20. Important Notice to Sellers

Before uploading a digital product, sellers should ask:

“Do I actually have the legal right to sell or distribute this?”

Finding content online does not automatically give you the right to sell it.

Owning a physical copy of a book, examination paper, course, software package, or other material does not necessarily give you the right to reproduce and commercially distribute digital copies.

When in doubt, obtain appropriate permission or legal advice before listing the product.

21. Policy Updates

Dracos may update this Copyright / DMCA & Intellectual Property Policy from time to time to reflect:

  • Changes to the marketplace;
  • Changes in applicable law;
  • Changes to our moderation procedures;
  • Changes to intellectual property practices;
  • New marketplace features.

The latest version will be published on this page with its effective date.
