ReadGem is a platform dedicated to sharing free, accessible reading resources. This page explains what we link to, how we handle copyright concerns, and the limits of our responsibility for external content.
What We Share
ReadGem curates and links to reading resources that we believe are in the public domain, distributed under Creative Commons or similar open licenses, or otherwise made available through legally permitted sharing.
Where resources are hosted externally, the download links on this site point to third-party platforms such as Google Drive, file hosts, or the publishers’ own websites. These links are provided for informational and educational purposes.
Copyright & Ownership
We do not claim ownership of any books, files, or resources linked on this website unless explicitly stated. All intellectual property belongs to its respective copyright holders.
If you are a copyright owner or an authorized agent and you believe that content linked or described on ReadGem infringes your rights, please contact us. We take these concerns seriously and respond to every valid notice we receive.
Takedown Requests
ReadGem voluntarily honors copyright takedown requests in the spirit of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), even though we are not a US-based service. We do this because we believe creators’ rights matter, not because we are legally compelled to.
To request removal of content, please provide the following information:
- Your name, contact information, and a statement that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.
- A clear description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed.
- The specific URL(s) on ReadGem where the material appears or is linked.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate.
Please send takedown requests to: contact[at]readgem[dot]com
We review every notice we receive. Where a valid claim is made, we will remove or disable access to the linked material promptly. If you believe your own content was removed in error, you may contact us to request a review.
Limitation of Liability
ReadGem assumes no responsibility for the legality, accuracy, availability, or safety of content hosted on external sites. Users are advised to verify the licensing status of any material before downloading or redistributing it.
