Copyright and takedown

This page explains who owns what you post on EduPress, what you mustn't post, and how to ask for something to be taken down.

This is a working draft for EduPress and should be reviewed by a qualified legal adviser before formal adoption.

What you post stays yours

In short: you keep ownership, and you let EduPress show what you post.

You, your school, or whoever you got it from, keep ownership of what you post: posts, photos, videos, comments, events, quizzes and listings.

When you post something, you give EduPress a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, store, copy, process, show, share and adapt it as needed to run, secure, promote and improve EduPress. For public content, that includes showing it on the website, in the app, on school pages, in feeds, and in search and social previews, until it's unpublished or removed.

You also confirm that you have the rights and permissions to post it. The full wording is in section 5 of the Terms of Service.

Don't post other people's work

Don't post something someone else made unless you have their permission, or the law allows it. That covers photos, music in videos, other people's writing, and pages scanned from a book. The Terms of Service don't allow content that infringes anyone's rights.

The study library

In short: the library only holds work EduPress wrote or has written permission to share.

• Who adds materials. The EduPress team, and teachers an EduPress administrator has approved, add materials to the study library. We review each material before anyone can see it.
• What it holds. PDFs (notes, revision sheets, worksheets, guides, books, reference books and stories), and audio and video lessons. You can download a free PDF. Free audio and video play on the material's page and aren't offered as downloads. A rented material can’t be downloaded; someone who bought a material can download it, for their own study.
• Permission first. Before a material can be published, an admin must confirm that EduPress wrote it, or that its author gave written permission to share it. EduPress refuses to publish a material without that confirmation.
• What it doesn't take. UNEB past papers or marking guides, textbook scans, or anything EduPress can't show permission for.
• Credit and licence. Each material shows its credit and its licence. Unless the page says otherwise, the licence is "© EduPress, free to read and share for study".
• Reporting a material. Each material's page has a Report a problem with this material link.

Asking for something to be taken down

If you think something on EduPress uses your work without permission, write to EduPress support. The address is on the Contact us link. Include:

• Where it is. A link to the page, post or material, and what it is.
• What you own. The work you own, and where it can be seen.
• How to reach you. Your name and contact details.
• Your statement. That you own the rights, or act for the person who does, and that the use wasn't allowed.

What EduPress does

• We look at it. A person at EduPress reads your request and the content.
• We can remove it. EduPress can remove or unpublish content that breaks the Terms of Service, and limit the account that posted it.
• Study library materials. A material can be unpublished at once. EduPress stops serving it straight away. A browser or network that already holds a copy can keep it for up to 5 minutes, and a copy someone already downloaded stays with them.

If something of yours was taken down and you think that was a mistake, write to EduPress support.
