sources, specifically Google and DuckDuckGo.
2. User Responsibilities

4. Copyright & DMCA
Bookologia is a specialized search engine that indexes and organizes
links to book-related content retrieved from publicly available
sources, specifically Google and DuckDuckGo. We do not host, sell,
distribute, or provide direct access to any books or copyrighted
material. Our database consists solely of links gathered from these
search engines. Since Bookologia does not host or control the
content linked on external sites, we can only remove links from our
index upon valid copyright requests.
If you believe that a copyrighted work is being unlawfully
distributed, we recommend taking the following steps:
-
Contact the website that is hosting the infringing material
directly and request its removal.
-
Submit a copyright complaint to the search engines that index
and provide access to the content:
-
Contact Bookologia to request the removal of the link from our
search results.
To submit a DMCA takedown request to Bookologia, send an email to
"bookologiaproject @ hotmail.com" with the subject line: "Book Link
DMCA Takedown". Your email must include the following details:
-
An identification of the copyrighted work(s) or trademark(s)
that you claim have been infringed.
-
A description of the nature and location of the work(s) that you
claim to be infringing, including the URL(s) where the work(s)
are located.
-
A statement affirming that you have a good faith belief that use
of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by
the rights holder, its agent, or the law.
-
A declaration that the information provided in your DMCA Notice
is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the
rights holder or are authorized to act on their behalf.
Please note that even if we remove a link from our search index, it
may reappear if the original source remains accessible via general
search engines such as Google or DuckDuckGo. Our search engine
database is refreshed every 15 days, meaning that if infringing
content remains publicly indexed by other search engines, it may be
re-added to our search results. To ensure complete removal, steps
(1) and (2) should be taken before contacting us. For further
transparency, our search engine's indexing process is open-source.
