General terms and conditions for authors (Uploaders)


ATTENTION: These terms are only valid in their original german version


Dear users!
These terms and conditions are primarily intended to protect all honest authors and the operator from scammers.
Unfortunately, there are always some people on the Internet who think they have to do harm anonymously and without any consideration. So you have nothing to fear from the terms and conditions if you simply offer your own texts and papers for which you own the rights to the content. That's what the platform is designed for. We only want to protect ourselves from those people who work with false identities, upload files from strangers, or try a free download and then after the exchange one request deletion of their account. And one more thing: we do not charge any money for any of our services, there are no hidden fees, you only pay for the files received.


In the text below, the company IT-Service Bodo Malowerschnig (or the operator of the website dokumente-online.com or swopdoc.com) is addressed as 'operator'. The operator data can be found in the imprint
The user who uploads a file will be addressed as 'author', regardless of gender


§ 1.) Registration and service

• The platforms dokumente-online.com and swopdoc.com are intermediaries for the free exchange and acquisition of data. The platform offers visitors the opportunity to exchange papers free of charge and thus become authors themselves, or to purchase the paper on offer. The author must adhere to the terms and conditions for authors and offers his papers for sale independently and on his own responsibility. The operator mediates the conclusion of the contract between the authors and the visitors.

• The registration as an author takes place voluntarily directly with the upload of the first paper. The user enters his personal email address and first and last name and confirms the terms and conditions for authors. If necessary, the operator will also check the identity.

• Each author profile is checked before the activation by the operator for the correctness of the information. Unregistered authors cannot publish papers. If we reject it, the file will be deleted immediately.

• When registering, the author undertakes to provide all information completely and correctly. Registration is free. The author assures that he is of age at the time of registration.

• The access data must be treated confidentially and protected against access by third parties. It is forbidden to allow third parties to use the services with their own access data.




§ 2.) Requirements for the offered papers

• The paper offered by the author must have a substantive or scientific value. Simple word lists, enumerations, source codes or comments/opinions and the like will not be accepted.

• The paper offered must contain a minimum number of words, this either depends on the desired exchange paper or is 500 words. Only letters or combinations of numbers consisting of at least 2 characters count as words. (Note that Microsoft's Word software, for example, also counts bullet points as words, we don't count those!)

• The texts must be complete and contain all attachments and sketches. Incomplete files will be rejected.




§ 3.) Copyright of the papers

• The paper which you - as the author - upload to this exchange and thus publish independently on this page, must be entirely in your own words created by you and free from any third party claims.

• The author is liable for any infringement of rights, in particular copyright infringements against third parties. The operator rejects any liability and claims for damages as well as the assumption of legal fees.

• The author guarantees that text passages taken from other sources verbatim or analogously; Were assumed to be correctly quoted. This also applies to the illustrations used by the author. If he quotes from the works of other authors or uses images from other authors, he will indicate the sources individually.

• The author guarantees that he has not made any decrees that conflict with the rights granted in this contract. (The author has not previously given the paper to a publisher sold)

• The author guarantees that he will not make any decisions in the future that conflict with the rights granted in this contract. (The author will not sell the paper to any publisher in the future)

• The author will obtain the necessary approvals for unpublished interviews or company-internal data.

• For a paper written jointly with other people, the author must obtain the permission of these people in writing.

• If the author violates the regulations listed in § 3, the author's account will be blocked, and fees incurred up to that point can be retained without compensation in order to cover claims for damages against third parties.

• If the texts in the file do not contain free special fonts, the author obtains permission to use them from the originator.



§ 4.) Exclusion of liability; / Disclaimer / Fraud Prevention

• The operator of the website will immediately fulfill all removal claims of third parties upon notification. The operator also adheres to the required disposal and information obligations. Cease and desist declarations, obligations to cease and desist and possible damages are to be addressed to the author who published the paper. The operator follows the provisions of §16. E-Commerce Law for Austria or analogous to § 10 Telemedia Law (TMG) for Germany

• The author ensures independently that no personal data (home address, telephone number, matriculation number,...) is stored in the texts he offers. The operator assumes no liability for damage resulting from the use of this data by third parties.

• The operator is not obliged to check the content of the papers or for copyright infringements and other illegal activities. The operator can check papers at his discretion and to a reasonable extent and delay or refuse access to them for security reasons. This applies to defects, incompleteness, inferior quality, copyright infringement and other understandable reasons (e.g. incorrect personal information, questionable content), which are determined by the operator at its own discretion.

• The operator assumes no liability for failures of the platform. The author has to assume that the platform and the existing server structure are not 100% available.

• If the operator is made aware by a third party that the author has violated copyright or personal rights, the respective files will be removed immediately. The author is responsible for possible legal consequences (out of court and in court). The author must indemnify the operator from any legal costs that may arise. Any costs incurred are to be borne by the author himself. We reserve the right to make further claims.

• Parents are responsible for their children. A possible recognition of minors is not possible to date or too easily circumvented by minors. We can therefore not guarantee that these texts do NOT come from minors. In this case, the parents are liable for possible violations of the rights of the minors.


§ 5.) Transfer of reproduction, distribution rights and processing rights

• The author assigns to the operator the exclusive reproduction and distribution rights to his paper (exclusive right of use). The paper will not offered by the author himself through any other publisher or publishing service after the conclusion of the contract

• The author assigns these exclusive rights of reproduction and distribution free of charge to the operator and there is no entitlement to a monthly or annual flat fee or license fee. However, the author receives the proportionate fee specified in §6 in the event of a successful sale which is credited to his credit account. (success basis principle) br /> • The operator's rights of reproduction and distribution apply to both electronic media (e.g.: ebook, epub, pdf, doc, etc.) and analog media (book, paperback) of any kind.

• The author may not assign his paper or the rights to his paper to any other third legal or natural person. In particular, the paper is not available for free download platforms.

• The The operator reserves the right to offer the paper provided by the author through other sales channels in order to generate additional sales for the author. Under other sales channels platforms such as 'Amazon Kindle', 'Apple iBook store' or 'Amazon Createspace' and similar are understood. The additional net sales generated as a result are in turn paid out to the author on a pro rata basis. The author has no claim to dissemination in other distribution channels. In these cases, it is necessary to reformat the paper in question to adapt it to print formats (font / line spacing / margins / page breaks / table of contents / chapter headings or numbering / etc.). The operator takes care of this step free of charge.

• The operator receives the right to reformat and optically prepare the work provided. In exceptional cases, the processing is limited to the correction of obvious spelling errors (e.g. typos), commas, serious grammatical errors, changes to the formatting to increase/enable readability (font size, font, line spacing, line breaks, text color), the formatting or automatic creation of the table of contents (preparation of the HTML preview for the buyer with a table of contents for the work) and in rare cases of deletion of text passages or graphics or images (e.g. if the source is missing or there is no reference to the work: (example: a cover image that serves as decoration is removed by the operator). The content of the works will not be changed or their content checked. The content of the work remains unchanged, text content, sentences and statements are not changed, the copyright remains with the author. The processing is for the buyer to improve the readability of the purchased texts (example: the text color YELLOW on a WHITE background is removed; a text with a font size of 7 is set to a font size of 11; a table that is outside the printable area is compressed to give the buyer a to be able to offer a printable PDF file; ...). This processing is only carried out in a few special cases to increase the readability of the texts offered. There is no legal entitlement to this processing. Should the author so wish, the original and uncorrected version will be offered again. This processing occurs in very rare cases and only if we are asked by customers to check and correct the content of the purchased PDF file. (e.g. buyer writes that he cannot read a text because an image obscures a specific area.)




§ 6.) Sale of papers and author's revenue

• The author receives a revenue fee for each sale of his independently written papers, the amount depends on the number of papers offered and is between 30% and 40% of the net proceeds

• The accumulated fees will be paid out to the author's account when a payment limit of 25 EURO is reached. Payment is made once a month.

• If a user or author does not log in to the system for a period of more than 24 months, the fee accumulated up to that point expires and goes directly to the operator. If the author returns to the System registers, this fee from previous sales can be automatically reactivated and is available to the author again. This regulation corresponds to the tax regulations in the country in which the company is based.
• The author assures to observe the author guidelines. The author guarantees that he is the owner of all contractual rights to the papers. He is responsible for being entitled to dispose of the rights (including any third parties involved).

• The author assures that the papers and their making available to users do not violate any legal provisions, in particular copyrights and personal rights of third parties. If the author considers a paper to be illegal or defective after it has been made accessible, he must inform the operator immediately.

• If the author violates the terms and conditions for authors, he can be excluded from the operator. The account will be closed, all papers will be removed and commissions/fees saved to date may be retained to cover third party claims.

• With each sale, the author grants the purchaser of the respective file the right to use the text or images for their own work and education. The buyer does NOT receive the rights to reproduce, distribute and make available to the public the file or parts of it.



§ 7 Price of the downloads, fee, billing

• Pricing is subject only to the operator, it is based on quality (rating) and quantity (number of words) as well as the genre/type of papers.

• The operator can change the selling price of the downloads according to market needs. The operator is not obliged to inform the author about the price change. The fee is always based on the current daily net sales price or net proceeds

• The operator keeps proper records of the sale of all files. The author can view his earnings in the user account at any time.

§ 8.) Deletion of the author/user account and deletion of uploads

• User accounts without active uploads/papers can be deactivated by the author by clicking on the Delete button and will be automatically deleted by us after around 45 days. This only works for user accounts without assigned and activated uploads/swaps. These 45 days are intended as a period for any queries from users regarding their created accounts, otherwise we would not be able to answer any more questions.

• Uploads which the author has offered for a completed exchange process (download completed) can NO longer be deleted by the author himself. Please read the further information on how to delete or reverse an exchange.

• When deleting files, a distinction must be made as to whether the paper in question is purely for the purpose of sale (a), in a barter that has not been completed (b) or after a complete exchange including download the consideration (c) has been performed. In case A and B, the deletion is absolutely problem-free.
• Case a): Files that the author uploaded without an exchange, i.e. purely for the purpose of sale, can have it deleted at any time upon personal request via the contact form.

• Case b) Files that were uploaded in barter and for which in return no download of the exchanged download has been registered in our database can be returned on request via the contact form to be deleted. This corresponds to a revocation / termination of the exchange process.


• Case c) A request is made to delete a file that was uploaded in barter and you have the download of the received file already executed (download received), so it is necessary to reverse the barter. It will be the performance of both Pages taken back step by step. Since the author has already received the service (download), it is necessary to pay the costs of the download when returning it to refund. The author has to buy the originally exchanged file, contacts customer service, customer service completes the reverse transaction and deletes it the corresponding file of the author. This is a complete reversal of the exchange process.

• to case c); If the author has a saved fee in his user account, the reversal can also be paid for using this fee. Therefore, no actual payment (Paypal/credit card) is necessary, but an internal debit is made for the fee to pay for the reversal. This is also possible in partial amounts/denominations. (Ex. The exchanged file cost 10 euros, you have a fee of 6 euros, it is enough then the payment of the 4 euros to initiate the reversal of the exchange)

• to case c); 10 years after the exchange process, it is no longer necessary to reverse the exchange process, the operator waives this and removes the author's paper without repurchase. In exchanges less than 10 years ago, the author demands a premature and unilateral termination of the contract and the respective services of the exchange are to be reimbursed step by step.

• to case c); Special case: If the author does not want to contact customer service and/or needs an immediate deletion (at this minute / at 2 a.m.), we offer the purchase of a pure deletion ticket (editing ticket). The price for this is a flat rate, the sum of the exchanges is not determined, you can immediately delete 5 files with the deletion ticket. They can also delete all other files (case A and B) of their account immediately and delete the user account immediately. It is NOT necessary to purchase this processing ticket. We advise the author to contact customer service. The flat rate price may result in a higher cost than that Reversal of the exchange process (but it is also possible that it is cheaper). We offer this service to authors who do not wish to communicate with us or who wish to delete their account immediately at 3am on a Saturday night. Delete instructions immediately.
• Regarding case c) The author has the option of exchanging one of his uploads for another file of equal value (substitution). This applies if the exchange has already been carried out. This is not possible if the author has his entire want to delete account. Please contact us in this regard. This service is free and corresponds to a conversion of the exchange process (exchange of the upload)

• Deletion of the entire user account.
If the author requests that his user account be deleted after exchange processes have already been carried out, this corresponds to a unilateral one premature contract termination. All uploads and exchange processes associated with the author's user account must be deleted in advance. There must be no files without an assigned user account. The exchange processes (Case C) are all to be reversed. The procedure is the same as for cases A, B and C described in paragraph 8 above. In order to simplify the procedure in the case of a large number of exchange processes, the operator can offer to reverse all exchange processes in one step and at a flat rate. It is also possible to deduct this as a lump sum from the author's saved fee. If the saved fee is not sufficient, the remaining amount must be paid by the author. If all exchange processes are reversed, all uploads are removed and the user account is deleted by the operator. In his user account, the author can see at any time whether his fee is sufficient to reverse all exchange transactions.

• If a file is deleted due to possible copyright infringement or if there is an explicit suspicion of a third-party rights infringement (or by the author himself) and a file has to be deleted as a result, the author's fees received up to that point for possible Cases of recourse frozen.

• If the author only becomes aware of illegal content in his file AFTER the exchange has taken place, he must inform the operator immediately and offer a replacement paper of equivalent quality/content/price. The replacement file will immediately replace the previous upload.

• The operator has the right to offset the reversal of exchange processes directly against the author's fee and to deduct the corresponding amounts from this, provided that a payable fee is available at the time of this process.

Note: The regulations in §8 are to be understood in such a way that a paper offered by the author/uploader in barter is not simply deleted by the author after the exchange (download carried out) has taken place. This would result in authors simply receiving the download free of charge and no file remaining on the portal. If the author does not carry out the download at all after an exchange, a file can be deleted at any time without any problems. In all cases, we try to find a simple solution and understand if you change your mind. you pay an exchange process either with an upload or they pay for it later with money. An exchange always implies that both parties fulfill their obligations and do not unilaterally reverse the exchange. In the event of a revocation by the author, the services already rendered must be paid for.
