Copyright Takedown Notices

We undertake to remove content from Cyber Bricks if the original content owner submits an official copyright takedown notice. It’s also our policy to delete all content from any instructor who repeatedly infringes intellectual property rights (for whom Cyber Bricks has received more than two confirmed copyright takedown notices). We reserve the right to terminate and delete an instructor’s account at any time if they publish any content in violation of others’ copyrights.

How to Submit a Copyright Takedown Notice

If you wish to report content on the Cyber Bricks platform and if you are the official owner or the owner’s designated agent of the rights to the content that you consider as being infringed, please submit notices of the alleged copyright infringement to our designated copyright agent at the email address provided below.

Before submitting your copyright takedown notice, please consider the following:

  1. We will be unable to process a notice that is not submitted by the official owner of the given content or its designated agent. There is no way we can learn that the instructor who published the content has received proper permission thereto from the owner. That is why we will ask you to provide an electronic signature in confirmation of your being the copyright owner or have the authority to represent them (including if the copyright owner is a legal entity). If you wish to report the content that you do not own, please address its owner and provide them with the email address of our designated copyright agent as specified below.

  2. You will be held liable for knowingly submitting a misleading copyright takedown notice and may have to pay damages. Cyber Bricks reserves the right to seek damages from any physical or legal entity submitting an unlawful notification of a claimed infringement.

  3. Consider if the use of your content is fair. Copyright law includes the notion of “fair use” exception for certain applications of copyrighted information in the public interest. Before submitting a takedown notice, please make sure that such a use of your content does not qualify as “fair use” (research, criticism, news reporting, or commentary). To find out whether your content’s use of qualifies as “fair”, you should analyze:

    • The purpose of such a use. Is the content paid or unpaid? Does the publication critique/parody/transform your content?

    • The type of copyrighted material. Is your content factual or creative?

    • The portion of your content being used. Does the publication use reasonably small excerpts of your material or its unreasonably substantial portions?

    • The impact on marketing your content. Will the potential buyers purchase the published material instead of your content?

  4. Some types of content are not protected by copyright. In particular, copyright law does not cover short phrases (business names, slogans, book titles, etc.), intangible concepts (processes, recipes, ideas, etc.), and common knowledge facts. Before submitting a takedown notice, please make sure that content in question is indeed protected by copyright law. If you wish to report a trademark violation, please read the section How to Submit a Trademark Takedown Notice below.

  5. Your takedown notice has to be properly substantiated for us to be able to process it. It means that:

    • You should provide sufficient contact information, including your full legal name, email and physical address, and telephone number;

    • If you are submitting a notice on behalf of a legal entity, you should indicate the organization’s name and your relationship thereto;

    • You should identify the original copyrighted information. If your notification covers multiple copyrighted works, you shall provide a comprehensive list of such original material (for example, a URL where the content is originally published);

    • You should provide sufficient information to locate the reportedly infringing content on Cyber Bricks (i.e., the URL on our Platform and the exact name of the instructor and their course);

    • You should add the following statement: “Under the penalty of perjury, I hereby declare that the information in this Copyright Takedown Notice is accurate and that I am the owner of the copyright for the material in question or am authorized to act on the owner's behalf. I have a good faith belief that the use of the content in the manner complained of is unauthorized by the copyright owner, their agent, or the law.”

Our message will be accompanied by a text explaining why and how (i) the content has been reported for infringement and (ii) we are removing it from Cyber Bricks. If the content you own has been reported for copyright infringement and deleted from Cyber Bricks, and you believe it was a mistake or have the copyright owner’s permission to use it as you think fit, then you are entitled to send us a counter-notification.

Cyber Bricks reserves the right to seek damages from any physical or legal entity submitting an unlawful counter-notification of a claimed infringement.

How to Submit a Trademark Takedown Notice

The fastest way to submit a trademark takedown notice is to send us a dedicated  email at the address provided at the end of this document. Please note that a copy of your letter will be sent to the uploader of the reported content.

Before submitting a trademark takedown notice, please consider the following:

  1. Your claim has to be substantiated for us to be able to process it. It means that your notice should include the following:

    • Your contact information (full name, mailing address, email, and phone number);

    • The exact word, symbol, logo, etc., for which you wish to claim the trademark rights;

    • The basis for your claim (e.g., a national or community registration, including its registration number);

    • The country and jurisdiction in which you wish to claim trademark rights;

    • The category of goods or services for which you claim the rights;

    • Precise location in the URL where your registered trademark can be found;

    • Description of how you think this content infringes your trademark;

    • If you are not the trademark rights holder, an explanation of your relationship to the official holder;

    • The following statement: “I have a good faith belief that the use of the trademark as provided above is not authorized by the trademark owner, their agent, or the law.”;

    • The following statement: "The information in this Trademark Takedown Notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, I hereby declare, that I am the owner or authorized to act on the behalf of the the owner of the trademark that is allegedly infringed.";

    • Your electronic or physical signature.

  2. You may be held liable for submitting a misleading notice of infringement. Cyber Bricks reserves the right to seek damages from anyone submitting a misleading claim of a trademark infringement.

  3. Some forms of your trademark use in the content counts for “fair use”. Trademark law protects business names and brands for selling products and services in order to prevent consumer confusion. In most countries, the law includes an exception for the “fair use”, allowing others to use a trademark for referencing the trademarked product or service, commenting on, or criticizing the trademark. Consider the likelihood that Cyber Bricks visitors would be confused into thinking that your company or brand has created or is sponsoring the content. Before submitting a trademark takedown notice, make sure that the use of your trademark does not qualify as “fair use.”

We understand that when you publish and make your content available on Cyber Bricks, you wish to ensure that the content will not be offered on a different platform without your authorisation. To combat copyright infringement and piracy, we have partnered with an anti-piracy service provider. They will seek instances of infringement and have them removed from the major search engines to stop traffic from distribution.

In the event you spot your course on another website without your prior permission, please email us at the address at the end of this document, entitling it “third-party piracy,” so that we can pursue action.
