Notice and Procedure for Making Claims of Copyright or Other Intellectual Property Infringements. 

Vlearny respects the intellectual property of others and takes the protection of copyrights and all other intellectual property very seriously, and we ask our instructors, students and other users of our website and services (the “Site”) to do the same. Infringing activity will not be tolerated on or through the Site.

Vlearny’s intellectual property policy is to (a) remove material that Vlearny believes in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property owner or their agent, is infringing the intellectual property of a third party by being made available through the Site, and (b) remove any Submitted Content posted to the Site by “repeat infringers.” Vlearny considers a “repeat infringer” to be any User that has uploaded Submitted Content to the Site and for whom Vlearny has received more than two takedown notices. Vlearny has discretion, however, to terminate the account of any User after receipt of a single notification of claimed infringement or upon Vlearny’s own determination.

1. Instructors and/or institutions are the copyright owner of their uploaded contents on Vlearny platform including the edited (by Vlearny on instructors’ request) contents. In case assured royalties are paid against any courses and/ or contents are edited on instructors’ request where Vlearny uses its own manpower to update and/or make changes upto the acceptanbe quality benchmark for students globally, Vlearny becomes the rights holder. However, in that case also, instructors are responsible for its contents as the original content was shared by the instructors only.
