Notice and Takedown Policy (DMCA)

At ExamBay, we take intellectual property rights seriously and comply with applicable copyright laws, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). While we do not actively monitor user-generated content, we promptly review all properly submitted copyright infringement claims.

How to Submit a Takedown Request

All DMCA notices must be submitted in writing to our Legal Compliance Department at:

📩 Email: legal@exambay.com

Upon receiving a valid takedown request, we will review the claim and take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing content. If necessary, we may also notify the user responsible for the content and provide them with an opportunity to file a counter-notification under the DMCA.
