TERMS OF USE
Educarian updated these Terms of Use (“Terms”) on August 2, 2021
———
Educarian strives to teach as many people as possible and help them better their lives. It is an excellent platform for instructors all over the world to develop and share educational courses. With an effective marketplace model, you are sure of getting the best educational content. However, some rules and regulations are needed to ensure safety on this platform.
The following terms are applicable to all activities on Educarian’s website, T.V. applications, mobile applications, APIs, and other services. Anyone that publishes a course on our platform must agree to the Instructor Terms. You will also find details about how we process students’ and Instructors’ personal data in our Privacy Policy. We also have Educarian for Business Privacy Statement for users who are using Educarian as part of their employer’s learning and development program.
For people who reside in Canada or the United States, agreeing to these Terms means accepting to help Educarian resolve disputes through binding arbitration. You should know that there is no need for courts and no much expectations. We also some rights for participating in class actions. You can check out the Dispute Resolution section for more details on these rights.
1. Accounts
You will need an account to get the most out of our platform. Ensure to protect your password because you are accountable for every activity performed using your account. You can contact our Support Team to report anyone who is using your account. Only people who have reached the age of consent in their country for online services can use Educarian.
If you want to submit a course for publication on our platform or enroll in one, you will need to create an account. While creating and maintaining your account, all the information you provide and continue to provide must be accurate and complete. You also need to provide a valid email address. Protect your password because you are responsible for your account and any harm that could occur to it by anyone using it without your permission. We will not accept any requests to provide access to an account unless you can prove that you own the account. You are not allowed to use another person’s account or transfer your account to another person. If the owner of an account dies, we will close the account.
Protect your login credentials and do not share them with anyone. Any disputes between instructors and students who shared their login details will be ignored. You are accountable for the happenings on your account, and Educarian will ignore any disputes associated with the sharing of login credentials. Make sure you notify us the moment you suspect that someone else is using your account. Our Support Team will gladly assist you in dealing with such security breaches. However, you will need to provide some information to prove that you own the account.
You must be at least 18 years to open an account on Educarian as a student or an instructor. If you are above the age for consent to use online services but not up to 18 years, you will be unable to use Educarian. However, you can get your parents or guardians to create an account and enroll you in courses that are suitable for you. Do not create a Educarian account if you are not above the age for consent for using online services in your country. Once you discover that your account violates these rules, we will terminate it. Before you can turn in a course for publication on Educarian, our Instructor Terms may require that you verify your identity.
If you ever need to terminate your account, you can do so. But go through our Privacy Policy to find out what happens if you terminate your account.
2. Course Enrollment and Lifetime Access
Once you get enrolled in any course, we will give you a license to view it through Educarian Services and no other use. You are not allowed to re-sell or transfer courses. Your license to view your courses is for life, but we may disable due to policy or legal reasons.
If you are an instructor, our Instructor Terms allows you to grant Educarian a license to give your students a license to your course once published. So, Educarian is the licensor of record. Once students enroll in a course, free or paid, they get a license from us to view the course using the Educarian platform and Services. When you receive a license to courses, you cannot re-sell them because you did not buy them. You are not allowed to give out your account information or download a course illegally and share it on torrent sites.
Legally this means that Educarian gives students a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable license to access and view their associated content (including content you can access through any of our APIs) and courses for which they have paid all necessary fees, solely for their personal, non-commercial, educational purposes via the Services, according to these Terms and any conditions or restrictions associated with certain courses or feature of our Services.
You are not authorized to use a course in any other way, including selling, redistributing, transmitting, lending, assigning, creating derivative works of, broadcasting, sublicensing, reproducing, adapting, renting, sharing, modifying, editing, or transferring or using a course without our explicit permission in a written agreement signed by a Educarian authorized representative.
Although our students get a lifetime access license when they enroll in our courses, we do reserve the right to revoke a license to use courses at any time if we are obligated or decide to end access to any course because of policy or legal reasons. In a scenario where you enroll in a course that violates our Trust & Safety Guidelines or has copyright issues, we will revoke your license to access the course. However, lifetime access does not apply to services associated with a course and add-on features. For instance, instructors may decide to disable translation captions of a course at any time and choose at any time to stop providing Q&A services or teaching assistance in association with a particular course. This means that your lifetime access only applies to the course content and not the instructor.
We do not allow instructors to grant licenses to courses to students directly, and any such direct license is a violation of our Terms and shall be null and void.
3. Payments, Credits
While making any payment, you will agree to utilize a valid payment method.
3.1 Pricing
The pricing for our courses depends on the terms of our Promotions Policy and the Instructor Terms. Sometimes you may notice that a course offered on the Educarian website has a different price tag on our T.V. or mobile applications. This is because of policies around implementing sales and promotions on mobile platforms and their providers’ pricing systems.
We run sales and promotions for courses from time to time, and you can only purchase certain courses at a discounted price within the period while the promotion lasts. The price for any course is the available amount at checkout. We also offer promotions exclusively to new users. This means that our pricing may sometimes differ for some courses for users who are not yet registered.
The price currency listed when you log into your account depends on your location at the time you created your account. If you are not registered and do not have an account, the currency you will see depends on the country you are located in. You will not see pricing in other currencies.
We take responsibility for collecting and remitting tax to the proper tax authorities for students in countries where goods and services tax, use and sales tax, or value-added tax apply to consumer sales. The pricing you see could include suchlike taxes, or tax may be added at checkout depending on your location.
3.2 Payments
You permit us to charge your debit or credit card or process any other mode of payment (like PayPal, direct debit, or SEPA) for the fees for courses that you purchase. And you agree to pay those fees. You are sure of a convenient and secure means of payment in your country with our integration with many third-party payment processing partners. You can go through our Privacy Policy for more details.
When you purchase a course, you agree to use a valid or authorized method of payment. In the event of a failure by your payment method, you will still be able to access your course. However, you agree to pay up within 30 days starting from the day we notified you. If we do not receive adequate payment for any course, we have the right to disable such an account.
3.3 Refunds and Refund Credits
If you purchase a course and it is not what you expected, you can ask for a refund within 30 days from when you purchased the course. Educarian will apply your refund to your original payment method or as a refund credit. If you ask for a refund after the 30-day guarantee time, we reserve the right to reject your request. However, if a course you enrolled in is disabled for a policy or legal reasons, you will get a refund beyond the 30-day guarantee time. In a scenario where there are suspected or confirmed cases of account fraud, we reserve the right to refund students.
In our Instructor Terms, students reserve the right to receive these rewards, and instructors agree to it. When Educarian issues a refund credit to our account, it will apply in your next course purchase on the website. Refund credits have no cash value, and if you fail to use them within the specified period, they may expire unless otherwise required by law.
If we discover that you have abused our refund policy by performing activities like previously refunding a course or consuming a noticeable part of a course that you wish to refund, Educarian reserves the right not to accept your request for a refund, restrict all future use of the Services and/or ban your account. Once you violate these Terms or our Trust & Safety Guidelines, we may ban your account, and when this happens, you will be ineligible to get a refund.
3.4 Gift and Promotional Codes
Occasionally, our partners or we offer promo codes to students. You can redeem some of these codes as promotional codes for a gift or promotional credits applied to your Educarian account for purchasing eligible courses on our platform. And this is subject to the terms that come with your codes. You can redeem other codes for certain courses.
You need to use any codes and credits within the specified period in your Educarian account. If you do not use them within this time frame, these credits and codes, including the promotional value linked to them, will expire. Unless required by applicable law or specified in the terms associated with your codes, Educarian may not refund any gift and promotional codes in cash. If any of our partners offer gifts or promotional codes, they will be subject to the partner’s refund policies. In the case where a user has multiple saved credit amounts, we will decide which credits to apply to your purchase. For more details, you should go through our Support Page and the terms associated with your codes.

8. Miscellaneous Legal Terms
Just like other contracts, these Terms are important legal terms that shield us from a lot of things that could occur and that clarifies the legal relationship between you and us.
8.1 Binding Agreement
By accessing, registering, or using our Services, you agree to go into a legally binding agreement with Educarian. If you disagree with these Terms, do not access, register, or otherwise use any of our Services.
Suppose you are an instructor accepting these Terms and using our Services on behalf of a company, government, organization, or other legal entity. In this case, you represent and warrant that you have permission to do so.
All other versions of these Terms in another language other than English are made available for convenience, and you agree and understand that the English language will be used to control if any conflict occurs.
These Terms and any other agreements and policies linked from them constitute the whole agreement between you and us, such as the Instructor Terms, if you are an instructor, and the Promotions Policy.
Suppose any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by applicable law. In that case, that provision will be seen as superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that is most closely related to the intent of the initial provision, and the remaining aspects of these Terms will carry on in effect.
In situations when we are delayed in performing our rights or fail in exercising a right in one case, it does not imply that we waive our rights under these Terms. We can decide to enforce these rights in the future. In a situation where we decide to waive any of our rights, it does not mean that we waive our rights completely or will not enforce these rights in the future.
The sections listed below shall survive the termination or expiration of these Terms: Sections 9 (Dispute Resolution), 8 (Miscellaneous Legal Terms), 7 (Educarian’s Rights), 6 (Using Educarian at Your Own Risk), 5 (Educarian’s Rights to Content You Post),2 (Course Enrollment and Lifetime Access).
8.2 Disclaimers
Our platform may be down due to planned maintenance, or maybe something went down with the site. It could happen that an instructor is making false or misleading comments in a course. It may also be a result of some security issues. These are just a few scenarios. You agree that when such things happen, you will not have any recourse against us in any type of case. In legal terms, the Services and associated content are available on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We (and our partners, affiliates, agents, and suppliers) make no representations or warranties about the availability, suitability, timeliness, security, reliability, lack of errors, or accuracy of the Services or associated content and expressly disclaim warranties or conditions (express or implied), including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a specific purpose, title, and non-infringement. We (and our partners, affiliates, agents, and suppliers) make no warranty that you will obtain specific results from the use of the Services. Your use of the Services (including any content) is completely at your own risk. Some jurisdictions do not exclude implied warranties, so a few of the exclusions above may not apply to you.
We may choose to suspend making certain available features of the Services at any given time and for any reason. We or our partners, affiliates, agents, or suppliers will under no circumstances be held accountable for any damages caused by such interruptions or the unavailability of such features.
We are not accountable for any failure or delay in the performance of any of our Services resulting from activities beyond our reasonable control, such as an act of hostility, war or sabotage, internet, electrical, or telecommunication outage; natural disaster; or government restrictions.
8.3 Limitation of Liability
You may face some risks while using our Services, for instance, if you enroll in a health and wellness course such as yoga, and you encounter injuries. You completely accept these dangers and risks, and you agree that you shall have no recourse to ask for damages even in situations where you suffer damage or loss from using the Educarian platform and Services. In legal language, to the extent allowed by law, we (and our group companies, agents, suppliers, and partners) will not be accountable for any indirect, punitive, incidental, or consequential damages (including loss of profits, data, revenue, or business opportunities, or personal injury or death), whether arising in contract, tort, warranty, product liability or otherwise and even if we have been advised on the possibility of damages in advance. Our liability (and the liability of all our group companies, agents, suppliers, and partners) to you or any third parties under any conditions is limited to the greater of one hundred dollars ($100) or the amount you paid in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to your claims. Some jurisdictions prohibit the exclusion or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Therefore some of the above may not be applicable to you.
8.4 Indemnification
In a situation whereby you perform activities that put us in legal trouble, we reserve the right to exercise legal recourse against you. You agree to defend (if we ask you to), indemnify, and hold harmless Educarian, our group companies, and their agents, suppliers, officers, directors, and partners against any third-party claims, damages, demands, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) that may arise from (a) your use of our Services, (b) the content you submit or post, (c) your violation of the rights of a third party, or (d) your violation of any of these Terms. Your indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of these Terms and your use of our Services.
8.5 Governing Law and Jurisdiction
When these Terms mention “Educarian,” they refer to the Educarian entity that you are contracting with. As a student, your location will determine your contracting entity and governing law.
For instance, students that are not located in:
geographical regions other than India, or people who access our Services as instructors, are contracting with Educarian, Inc., and the Terms are ruled by the laws of the State of California, the United States of America without any reference to its choice or conflicts of law principles. In any case, where the “Dispute Resolution” section below is not applicable to you, you agree to the exclusive venue and jurisdiction of federal and state courts in San Francisco, California, USA.
8.6 Legal Actions and Notices
No action, of any form, arising because of or relating to these Terms may be presented by any party more than twelve (12) months after the cause of action accrued, except in situations where this limitation cannot be imposed by law.
Any communication or notice to be provided hereunder will be written and given by certified or registered mail return receipt requested, or email (by us to the email associated with your account or by you to notices@Educarian.com).
8.7 Relationship Between Us
You and we agree that no partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or contractor relationship exists between us.
8.8 No Assignment
You are not authorized to transfer or assign these Terms or the licenses and rights granted under them. For instance, if you registered an account as an employee of a company, you cannot transfer your account to another employee. We may assign these Terms (or the licenses and rights granted under them) to another person or company without restriction. Nothing in these Terms grants any benefit, right, or remedy on any third-party entity or person. You accept that your account cannot be transferred and that all rights, including rights to your account under these Terms, end upon your death.
9. Dispute Resolution
We trust that our Support Team is ever ready to resolve any dispute that may occur. But if this doesn’t work, you can bring a claim binding arbitration or go to small claims court if you reside in the U.S. or Canada. However, you may not partake in any non-individual class action claim or bring any claim in another court. This section only applies to people living in the U.S. or Canada.
Ensure that you contact our Support Team before you bring any legal case. They can resolve almost any dispute that you face.
9.1 Small Claims
Both parties can bring a claim in the following locations (a) the county in your area (b) San Francisco, California (c) any other location we both agree on. The claim must qualify to be brought in that small claims court.
9.2 Going to Arbitration
In cases where our disputes cannot be resolved amicably, you can agree with Educarian to resolve claims relating to these Terms using final or binding arbitration for any type of legal theory or claims. And if any of us refuses to arbitrate a claim brought in court by the other party, the court may force both of us to go to arbitration (i.e., compel arbitration) if the other party asks. Any of us can request that a court stop a court proceeding when an arbitration proceeding is going on.
9.3 The Arbitration Process
If the dispute involves a claim that is below USD 10,000, it must be resolved via binding non-appearance-based arbitration. If you want to elect arbitration, you must start proceedings by filing an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association (AAA). All arbitration proceedings will be guided by the AAA, Commercial Arbitration Rules, Supplementary Procedures for Resolution of Consumer-Related Disputes and Consumer Due Process Protocol.
We both agree that these rules will apply to the proceedings: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted online, by telephone, or solely by written submissions (depending on what suits the party seeking relief). (b) there must be no personal appearance by the witnesses or parties in the arbitration (unless we both agree otherwise). (c) any judgment on the award that is rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in a court with competent jurisdiction. If a dispute involves a claim of USD 10,000 and above, it must be resolved under the AAA’s rules on whether the arbitration hearing should be in-person.
9.4 No Class Actions
You and we agree that either party can only bring a claim on an individual basis against the other party. It meant that: (a) Both you and we cannot bring any claim as a class member or plaintiff in a class action, representative action, or consolidated action. (b) The arbitrator is not allowed to combine claims from different people into one case (or preside over a class, consolidated, representative action). (c) The arbitrator’s award or decision in a particular case may only affect that user and no other users. It will not be used to decide disputes with other users. However, when a court decides that the “No class actions” clause is not valid or enforceable, this “Dispute Resolution” section will be invalid. But the remaining Terms will still be very much applicable.
9.5 Changes
If Educarian modifies or changes the “Dispute Resolution” section any time beyond the most recent date you last accepted these Terms, you can reject such change if you want to. You will need to provide Educarian written notice of rejection hand delivery or mail to Educarian Attn: Legal, 600 Harrison Street, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94107. You can also send an email to reject any change. Ensure that you use the email address associated with your account and send it to notices@Educarian.com. Send in your rejection within 30 days of the date such modification took effect, as shown by the “last updated on” above. You must add your full name to the notice and clearly indicate that you want to reject changes to the “Dispute Resolution” section. When you reject changes, you agree to arbitrate any dispute that may occur between you and Educarian according to the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section on the date you last accepted these Terms.
10. How we Update These Terms
Occasionally, we update these Terms to include new or different practices (like when we recently add new features) for clarity on our practices. Educarian has the right to change or modify these Terms whenever it pleases. However, any time we make changes, you will get a notification. You will either get notified by an email or a notice posted via our services.
Any modifications we make takes effect on the day we post them unless we state otherwise. If you keep on using our services after we post modifications, we take it that you accepted all the changes. You should also know that the revised Terms supersedes the previous ones.
11. How to Get in touch with Us
You can get to us by contacting our Support Team. Be sure that your questions and concerns will be attended to. Also, it would be good to hear your feedback about the services we provide.

Trust and Safety at Educarian
———
Many students use Educarian as part of their education experience. These students can be from a variety of age ranges, and it is important to follow rules to make sure their experience is the best possible.
These rules can be courteous, such as respecting privacy, whilst keeping things professional when producing your content.
Keep reading to fully understand rules to follow from both the student, and the content creator perspective.
Staying Professional
Making sure that you keep a good relationship with students is crucial to an instructor’s job as an educator, and providing support is a part of this, but keeping this professional is a key policy of Educarian. Making sure that you are as communicative with your students as possible will greatly invigorate their experience when using Educarian and maintaining this mutually respectful relationship is crucial to Educarian’s core beliefs. Understanding that there are limits to this communication however must be considered. As an instructor, make sure to communicate necessary and important things. Asking for personal information is not necessary communication and could endanger the student if that information falls into the wrong hands. So, making sure that you are satisfying your student’s hunger to learn should be your only priority when using this platform, using a professional approach!
Reporting Inappropriate Material
However, sometimes boundaries can be crossed, and it is important to report such breaches of policy immediately to safeguard users of the platform. Anything suspicious can be reported to the email account at the bottom of the page, and will be thoroughly reviewed, and if necessary, action will be taken in the form deemed most appropriate. It is important to remember that the staff at Educarian are there to support you and your use of the platform, so in helping others, you are helping protect a community of individuals eager to learn and educate themselves, just like you!
Understanding Harassment
From the perspective of the content creator, you must never force students to engage in any activities they refuse to do. You must not try to sell or push other material not directly related to the education at hand, as this could violate Educarian’s policies, leading to a potential complaint against your courses. Your intentions may be sound, but once again, retaining that professional relationship is crucial to making the users of Educarian feel welcome and comfortable.
Respecting the Rules Overall
Finally, it is really important to understand that these rules and other rules are there to protect both content creators and students, so trying to find ways to get through these rules can be damaging to both parties. As an instructor, you must produce material that does not violate the general rules, and you must not intend to bend these rules to your benefit. Your intention as an instructor should be to grow your community of students, so demonstrate that well!
However, students, respect your instructors, and understand that they are trying their best to support you, following the rules will benefit everyone’s experience.
Intellectual Property Policy
Educarian updated this Intellectual Property Policy last on August 2, 2021
———
Educarian provides a platform for people all over the world to share educational courses. Our learning marketplace houses thousands of courses that you can choose from. We use a marketplace model, which means that we are not responsible for reviewing and editing courses posted on our platform for legal issues. It is not our place to check if the course content is legal. If you are an instructor, you must respect other people’s intellectual property. As an instructor, you promise that you have the necessary rights and authorization to use every content contained in the courses you post on the Educarian platform.
You are not allowed to perform any infringing activity through or on our platform. This policy deals with how we respond when content owners report copyright infringement or trademark owners report trademark infringement claims about the courses posted on our platform. The policy also includes the actions we take when third-party platforms copy our instructors’ courses without their permission or consent.
Third-Party Copyright Infringement Reports
When we receive a copyright infringement notice stating that a course posted on our platform is infringing, our policy is to remove the course from our services. If we get repeated infringement notices (more than two valid infringement notices) from the owners of the original content posted by a particular instructor on our platform, we will remove all courses from that instructor. We have the right to end any instructor’s account when necessary, especially when they violate other people’s copyrights.
How to File a Report
If you own a course or you are the owner’s designated agent of the rights to the content that a course is infringing, you can report the course on our marketplace. You can do this by filling this form. You should know that this form is only available in the English language.
You should bear these things in mind before submitting your copyright infringement report:
- If you are not the owner or designated agent of the copyright, we cannot process a copyright claim submitted by you. This is because we do not know if the instructor who published the course you are reporting has proper authorization from the owner to use the content. You will need to provide an electronic signature so that we can verify that you own the copyright or have proper authorization to represent the copyright owner (including if the copyright owner is an organization).
- Consider if your material in the course is used in a way that can be described as “fair use.” Copyright law has a “fair use” exception for some uses of copyrighted content in a way considered to be beneficial to the public. Fair use encompasses things like commentary, criticism, research, and news reporting. If you want to know if a course’s use of your material is fair use, you
need to consider the following:
- The reason for the use (whether it is a paid or unpaid course, whether the course parodies, critiques, transforms your material)
- The kind of copyrighted work that was used (whether your work is creative or factual)
- The portion that was used (whether the course uses important excerpts of your material, small or substantial portions from it)
- The market effect for your material (whether potential buyers would rather purchase the course instead of your material)
- Before submitting a copyright claim, ensure that the use of the content copied in the course does not qualify as fair use.
- Your copyright claim must be sufficiently substantiated before we can address it. It means that:
- You must provide sufficient information so we can contact you, such as your full legal name, physical address, email address, and phone number (optional).
- If the report you are filing is for an organization, you must include the organization’s name and your relationship to the organization.
- You particularly identify the original copyrighted material or, if you covered more than one copyrighted works in your notification, you provide a representative list of the original material (like a URL where the material is found);
- You give us sufficient information to find the course(s) reported to be infringing on our website (the URL on our site and the name of the instructor and course;
- You include a statement that says: “I declare, under penalty of perjury, that every information in this complaint is true and that I own the copyright or am permitted to act on the behalf of the copyright owner and I have a good faith belief that the content use in the way that was complained of is not permitted by the owner of the copyright, its agent, or the law.”
- There are kinds of materials that are not protected by copyright. Copyright law does not cover short phrases (such as book titles, business names, and slogans), intangible concepts (like ideas, processes, and recipes), or facts. You need to ensure that the content copied in the course is protected by copyright before you submit your copyright claim. If you want to report a violation of a trademark, you should follow the steps in this Intellectual Property Policy.
- It is illegal to submit a misleading or false claim of infringement intentionally, and you may be held liable and asked to pay damages for this. We have the right to seek damages from people who submit a notification of claimed infringement that violates the law.
Counter-Notification
Once we get a valid copyright infringement report, we will notify the instructor whose course was reported by sending a copy of the report and a notification that; (a) the cause has been reported for copyright violation and (b) we will remove the course from our services. And if the instructor wishes to send back a counter-notification, we attach a form for this purpose in the notification. You may send us a counter-notification when we remove your course from our services because it was reported for copyright violation if you believe that we have made a mistake and you have the required permission from the owner of the contents.
If you want to send us a counter-notification, you need to fill in the form sent to you and send it back, so our copyright team member who got the notification from or to the Educarian designated agent. You must put your counter-notification in writing for it to be effective, and it must include this information:
- Your electronic or physical signature;
- Your name, physical address, and email address or phone number,
- Identification of the removed course and the location (URL) at which it showed up before it was taken down (you may find this information in the copyright violation report filed against your course, we usually include a copy when we notify you);
- A statement that you consent to (a) Educarian sharing your name and contact details with the claimant; (b) receiving service of process for any legal action by the claimant or an agent of the claimant and (c) accepting the jurisdiction of the district court for the judicial district you reside in (if in the Hungary), or if you reside outside of the Hungary, the jurisdiction of the Hungary District Court for the District of Budapest (headquarters of Educarian).
- A statement under penalty of perjury saying that you have a good faith belief that the material was disabled or removed because of misidentification or mistake of the material to be removed or disabled; and
Purposely submitting a misleading or false counter-notification to a claim of infringement is illegal, and you may be held accountable and asked to pay damages as a result. We reserve the right to seek damages if any party submits a counter-notification in violation of the law or counter-notification of claimed infringement.
Reports from Instructors of Infringing Content on Third-party Platforms
We know that you do not want to see your courses on any other platform without your authorization when you post and make them available on our marketplace. For this reason, we take piracy and copyright infringement very seriously by partnering with the anti-piracy vendor Link-Busters. This way, we can find out many instances of infringement and make sure that infringing content is removed from third-party websites.
In a situation where you see your course offered on another platform without you authorizing it, you should fill this form. Link-Busters will make sure that copyright infringement reports are filed, and legal actions are taken to get rid of the infringing content immediately. However, it is important to know that Link-Busters and Educarian do not have any form of control over the content posted on other sites. So sometimes, we may not succeed, especially for content posted on websites outside the E.U. or U.S. Since different countries have different ways of dealing with copyright, we cannot assure you that the hosting sites or infringing party will remove infringing content from their site after receiving our notices.
Third-Party Trademark Infringement Reports
When courses are reported to be infringing any third-party trademark, our policy is to takedown such courses from our Services. Educarian reserves the right to end any instructor’s account when necessary, especially when the post content that violates other people’s trademark rights.
How do you Submit a Trademark Infringement Report?
If you want to submit a trademark infringement report, the best way to do that is by sending a notice to the Designated Agent. Ensure that your notice includes the information given below. You should also know that we will send a copy of your notice to the instructor who posted the infringing content. It is needful to keep the following in mind before submitting any trademark infringement report to us:
- Your trademark claim must be sufficiently substantiated for us to be able to address it. It means that your communication should include substantially the following:
- Your full contact information (full legal name, physical address, and email or phone number).
- An explanation of how the content you are reporting infringes your trademark.
- The basis for your trademark rights claims (like a national or community registration), including registration number, if applicable.
- Your electronic signature (“/s/” then your full legal name, for example., “/s/ Alex Mark”) or physical signature.
- The category of goods or services for which you assert rights.
- Sufficient information for us to find the content on Educarian that violates your trademark rights (web addresses or URLs of the alleged infringing content).
- The particular word, symbol, and more, for which you claim trademark rights.
- The jurisdiction or country in which you claim trademark rights.
- A description of your relationship to the rights holder if you are not the right holder.
- A statement as follows: “I have a good faith belief that use of the trademark as detailed above in the manner complained of is not permitted by the owner of the trademark, its agent, or the law.”
- This statement: “The information contained in this notice is correct, and I declare, under penalty of perjury, that I own or I am authorized to act on behalf of the trademark’s owner that is allegedly infringed.”
- Submitting a misleading or false infringement claim may result in liability for you. We reserve the right to request damages from parties who submit any misleading or false notification of a trademark infringement claim.
- Check whether the use of your trademark is considered “nominative fair use.” Trademark law shields the use of a brand or name for selling products and services, with the aim of avoiding consumer confusion. In many countries, the law considers “fair use,” meaning that others can use a trademark if their aim is to factually reference the trademarked product or criticizing or commenting on the mark. Check how likely it is that people would be confused into thinking that your brand created or sponsors the course. Ensure that the use of your trademark in the course you are reporting is not fair use before submitting your trademark claim.

Student Content and Behaviour Rules
———
When you are a student and using platforms such as Educarian, it is important to make sure that you are following the laws on your publications.
These can range from using respectful language and following other laws, to making sure that your material is inclusive of everyone.
Keep reading to make sure that the content posted follows these extremely important rules.
Important policies to follow
It is crucial that when creating content, you must not post inappropriate content, or ones that could prove harmful to certain communities, such as BAME communities, or by producing sexist content for example.

How to Submit a Copyright Complaint on Educarian
———
Educarian is a great place to allow the creation of educational content, but Educarian users must understand the significance of copyright laws.
Due to the lack of concrete regulation, copyright infringements can sometimes happen, and there is a process you can use to ensure your work is kept safe and secure.
Here we will discuss the significance of following policies on intellectual property, and how to report any problems if they do arise.
The significance of intellectual property laws
Intellectual property laws help keep education original and ethically sound. Educarian incorporates this into its publisher’s contracts to ensure that this idea is kept up to standard, and that no malpractice is taking place. As an entity, it is very difficult for Educarian to regulate each content creator, so by following the laws available on its website, you can ensure that you are not infringing any works.
How to report any problems if they arise
However, if an infringement does arise, it is important to consider how to report such a problem. Using the link at the end of the document, you will be able to fill out a form for submitting complaints against any copyright practices. This can be done if you know that a publisher is infringing any material published either by themselves or by a third party that they represent, and the details for this should be included on your submission form.
