Terms of use
Last updated 6 November 2026.
By using Studote you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.
Who can use Studote
You must be at least 13. If you are under 18 you confirm a parent or guardian allows you to use Studote and to buy credits. You are responsible for keeping your login secure and for what happens on your account.
Uploading notes
- Upload only notes you created yourself, or that you have permission to share.
- Do not upload textbook pages, past papers, copyrighted material, or other people’s work.
- Do not upload anything unlawful, harmful, hateful, sexual, or misleading, or anything that contains other people’s private information.
- You keep ownership of your notes. You give Studote a licence to store, display, copy for technical reasons, watermark and offer your notes through the service, and to remove them if needed.
- Every upload is reviewed. We may refuse, edit the listing of, or remove any note at our discretion.
Renting and reading notes
When you rent a note you get a personal, temporary right to read it on Studote for the rental period, for your own study. You must not copy, download, photograph, share, resell or publish notes or parts of them. Each page shows your username and a reference code so that leaks can be traced. We may end access if these rules are broken.
Studote Credits
- Studote Credits are a virtual item used on Studote. They have no cash value, cannot be withdrawn or transferred, and are not a payment instrument.
- You earn credits when others rent your notes. Studote keeps a platform fee from each rental.
- Purchased credits are generally not refundable unless the law requires it or we made a mistake. Contact us if something went wrong with a payment.
- Promotional and bonus credits may expire as stated when they are given.
- We may change prices, rewards and fees. We will not change the price of a rental you have already made.
Reviews and reports
Reviews must be honest and relevant. We may remove reviews and notes that break these terms, and we act on reports from other users.
Copyright and takedowns
We respond to valid copyright notices. See our copyright policy. Accounts that repeatedly infringe copyright may be closed.
Ending your account
You can stop using Studote at any time and ask us to delete your account. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms. Unused credits are lost when an account is closed for breaking the rules.
Our responsibility
Notes are made by students and may contain mistakes. They are study aids, not professional or official materials, and we cannot guarantee exam results. The service is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, Studote is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Changes and governing law
We may update these terms and will change the date above when we do. These terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, and the courts of Singapore have jurisdiction, unless the law of your country requires otherwise.
