Overview

We remove or restrict content that infringes the rights of others. We also allow a fair and simple way to dispute a mistake.

This policy works with our Terms of Use and Community Guidelines.

What this covers

  • Copyright for videos, text, images, code, course files
  • Trademarks for brand names, logos, or marks used in a way that confuses users
  • Counterfeit claims if someone pretends to be Skillzonia or a creator

It applies to Original courses and materials, Marketplace listings we host, on site community posts, and lesson comments. For content hosted elsewhere, report it to that platform as well.

Before you file

  • Check that the content is actually on a Skillzonia page we control
  • Ask the user to take it down if you know them and it is safe to do so
  • Confirm you are the rights holder or have permission to act for them
  • Decide if fair use or a permitted use may apply. If unsure, you can still report and we will review

  • Any proof that you own the rights or have permission

We will review and may restore the content or keep it down. Repeated false counter notices may lead to account limits.

Repeat infringement

We may suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe others’ rights or share paid course content. This can apply across communities and lessons. Serious cases may lead to a permanent ban without refunds.

How we use your report data
