AskSia Library Community Guidelines
Last updated — March 31, 2026
Welcome to AskSia Library
AskSia Library is a community space where learners can share their study sessions with others. We believe in the power of collaborative learning, and we want Library to be a place where knowledge is shared responsibly and ethically.
By sharing content in Library, you agree to follow these Community Guidelines in addition to our Terms of Use and Copyright Policy.
What You CAN Share
AskSia Library is designed for sharing original, user-created study content. You are encouraged to share:
Your own notes and summaries that you have written in your own words
Your own study guides and flashcards that you have created
Your own problem-solving sessions where you have worked through problems using AskSia as a learning tool
Your own explanations and analyses of concepts, topics, and ideas
Original study materials that you have created from scratch
Content for which you hold the copyright or have been given explicit written permission by the copyright holder to share
What You CANNOT Share
The following types of content are strictly prohibited in AskSia Library:
Copyrighted Educational Materials:
Textbook content: Pages, chapters, excerpts, or solutions from textbooks, ebooks, or solutions manuals
Instructor resources: Teacher's editions, test banks, answer keys, grading rubrics, or instructor guides
Course materials created by others: Syllabi, assignments, worksheets, handouts, or presentations created by your instructor or institution, unless you have written permission from the copyright holder
Examination materials: Exams, quizzes, midterms, finals, or assessment questions created by your instructor or institution
Recordings:
Lecture recordings: Audio or video recordings of classes, lectures, seminars, tutorials, or office hours, unless you have explicit written permission from all speakers and rights holders
Third-party media: Copyrighted audio, video, images, or other media for which you do not hold the rights
Other Prohibited Content:
Content that facilitates academic dishonesty: Materials shared with the purpose of enabling cheating, plagiarism, or other violations of academic integrity
Content with altered or removed copyright information: Materials where the author's name, copyright notice, or other identifying information has been removed, altered, or obscured
Content obtained through unauthorized access: Materials accessed through breach of a paywall, DRM circumvention, or unauthorized login credentials
Content that violates any agreement you have signed, including academic honor codes, NDAs, or institutional policies
How We Enforce These Guidelines
Strike System: AskSia uses a strike system to enforce copyright compliance. If content you shared is identified as infringing and is removed pursuant to a valid takedown notice or our internal review:
1st Strike: Infringing content is removed. You receive a formal warning by email explaining the violation.
2nd Strike: Infringing content is removed. You receive a second warning. Your ability to share new content in Library may be temporarily suspended.
3rd Strike: Your account is terminated. You are permanently banned from AskSia.
Strikes are counted on a rolling 12-month basis. A strike that is more than 12 months old will no longer count toward the threshold, but a record of the violation is retained permanently.
Immediate Termination: AskSia reserves the right to terminate your account immediately and without prior strikes or warnings if:
You upload a large volume of clearly infringing material
You engage in a pattern of behavior designed to circumvent our enforcement measures (e.g., creating multiple accounts)
You remove or alter copyright management information from content
Your actions expose AskSia to significant legal risk
Appealing a Strike or Removal: If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may:
File a DMCA Counter-Notice as described in our Copyright Policy
Contact our support team at copyright@asksia.ai with a detailed explanation of why you believe the removal was in error
We will review your appeal and respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Your Responsibilities
When you share content in AskSia Library, you are confirming that:
You own the content or have all necessary permissions to share it

Sharing the content does not violate any agreement you have made, including with your educational institution
You accept responsibility for the content you share and agree to indemnify AskSia against any claims arising from your content

We take all reports seriously and aim to review and act on valid reports promptly.
A Note on Academic Integrity
AskSia is designed to be your learning co-pilot — a tool to help you understand concepts, develop skills, and improve your academic performance. AskSia Library is meant to support genuine learning through the sharing of original study materials.

Obtain answers to active exams or assessments
Share or access materials that would give an unfair academic advantage
Circumvent the learning process
We encourage all users to use AskSia and Library responsibly and ethically.
