1. Creator-owned content Creators own their courses, lessons, media and branding, subject to any third-party rights.
2. Platform-owned technology We own the learn.co.uk software, website design, logos and trade marks. You may not copy, reverse engineer or resell the Platform.
3. Third-party copyrighted material Material owned by others may only be uploaded with permission or where a legal exception (such as quotation for criticism or review) genuinely applies.
4. Licensing permissions Creators grant us a limited licence to host and display their content to run the Platform. Students receive a personal, non-transferable licence from the Creator to use course materials.
5. AI-generated content considerations The legal position of AI-generated material is still developing. Creators should add their own expertise and editing to AI drafts and check output does not reproduce others' work.
6. Copyright complaints If you believe content infringes your rights, email ⟦not yet provided⟧ with: your contact details; the work you own; the web address of the content; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised; and a statement that your information is accurate and you are the owner or authorised to act.
7. Content removal procedure We will review notices promptly, may remove or disable the content, and will tell the Creator, who may respond with a counter-notice explaining why the content is lawful. We may restore content where appropriate.
8. Repeat infringement We may suspend or close accounts of people who repeatedly infringe.
