Copyright Info

As a Fair Use copy shop, StudentPrint is dedicated to the highest copyright compliance standards.

StudentPrint reserves the right to refuse a copy/print order if, in our judgment, fulfillment of the order would violate copyright law. When determining whether an order is copyright compliant, StudentPrint adheres to the Four Pillars of Fair Use. The pillars:

  1. Purpose & Character of Use (“Intent”)

  2. Nature of the Content

  3. Amount used compared to copyrighted work as a whole

  4. Effect on the Market

No single pillar overpowers the others.
