Document Protection

New! Document protection now available.

The easiest and best-value way to protect your documents from copyright infringement

Doxmart offers copyright owners a useful and cost-effective way of helping to prove and protect your hard-earned copyright.

What does Document Protection consist of?

For a modest fee Doxmart will issue you with a uniquely numbered Certificate of Uploading attesting to the date that your document was uploaded by you to the site along with a copy of the document that you uploaded to Doxmart. Such, objective proof of the date at which a document existed and its condition and content can be extremely helpful to proving copyright in the event of a dispute as to authorship arising and save you time, legal costs and, most importantly, anxiety.

How do I purchase Document Protection?

Once you’ve uploaded the document you want to sell, select a hosting period, proceed to checkout, then tick the box labelled “Document Protection” (or, make sure it’s unchecked if you don’t want the protection)! The fee will then be added to your basket and you can check out in the regular way. Once your payment has been received you will be able to download your Certificate of Uploading.

How to add Document Protection

You can add Document Protection to any new or existing document from your My Document Portfolio page simply by clicking the ‘Buy Document Protection’ link next to your document – this action adds the service to your shopping basket. You must then check out in the regular way. Once your payment has been received you will be able to download your Certificate of Uploading. See ‘Accessing my certificate’ below for instructions on how to download your certificate.

How much does Document Protection cost?

Document protection costs only £0.35 if you buy it at the time you upload and host your documents. If you add it later it will cost £0.49 which is a bit more because of the extra costs we incur in processing the transaction.

Accessing my certificate

You will be able to access and download the Certificate of Uploading at anytime from your My Document Portfolio page by clicking on ‘download Certificate of Uploading’ as long as the document is hosted for sale on the site or for up to six months after cancellation or non-renewal of the document. We recommend that you download the ‘Certificate of Uploading’ as soon as possible after purchase and keep it in a safe place.

What guarantees do I get?

Doxmart will provide you with certification of the date your document was uploaded together with a copy of your document in the condition it was when it was uploaded.

Important note: Doxmart does not guarantee in any way that you will be successful in the event of a dispute because of the complexity and diversity of world jurisdictions and the fact that the courts take many aspects into consideration when evaluating copyright infringement questions and no warranty is intended or implied. You are advised to seek independent legal advice from a qualified practitioner.
