Intellectual Property Policy

This Intellectual Property Policy was last updated on January 01, 2020.

Omni academy is a technology platform that enables anyone anywhere to create and share educational courses. We host more than 500 courses on our online & in-campus learning platform.  However, it is important to us that instructors posting courses on Omni academy respect the intellectual property of others. When instructors post courses on our online platform, they make the promise that they have the necessary skills, authorization or rights to use all the content contained in their courses.

Students Feedback and Quality Control: Trainers online / in-campus course delivery, course contents, course quality, matching demand with current market skills set continuously monitored and reviewed by Omni Quality Control team to ensure 100% students satisfaction and compliance with local laws. Infringing activity is not tolerated on or through our platform.

This policy addresses what we do in the event of copyright infringement reports from content owners and trademark infringement claims from trademark owners with respect to the courses on the Omni academy platform. The policy also addresses what we do when Omni academy instructors’ courses are copied on third-party platforms without their consent.

Third-Party Copyright Infringement Reports

Omni academy’s policy is to remove courses from our service when they are reported as infringing in a copyright infringement notice received from the owner of the original content. It is also our policy to remove all courses from any instructor who is determined to be a repeat infringer (for whom Omni academy has received more than two valid takedown notices). We reserve the right to terminate an instructor’s account at any time, including when they post content in violation of the copyrights of others.

How to File a Report

If you would like to report a course on the Omni Academy online platform and if you are the owner or the designated agent of the owner of the rights to the content that you believe the course is infringing, the most efficient way is to send email to complaints@omni-academy.com

Before you submit a copyright infringement report, please remember these important things:

1. We cannot process a copyright claim that is not submitted by the owner of the copyright or its designated agent. This is because we have no way of knowing whether the instructor who published the course you are reporting has received proper permission from the owner to use the content. We will ask you to provide an electronic signature to confirm that you are the copyright owner or have authority to represent the copyright owner (including if the copyright owner is an organization).
2. Your copyright claim has to be sufficiently substantiated for us be able to address it. This means:

• You provide sufficient information for us to contact you, including your full legal name, an email address, physical address, and (optional) telephone number.
• If you are filing a report on behalf of an organization, you include the name of the organization and your relationship to the organization.
• You precisely identify the original copyrighted material or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered in your notification, you provide a sufficiently representative list of such original material (such as a URL where the material is located);
• You provide sufficient information for us to locate the reportedly infringing course(s) on the Omni academy site (the URL on our website and the exact name of the course and instructor;
• You add a statement saying: “I declare, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this complaint is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf and I have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law”.

1. Knowingly submitting a false or misleading claim of infringement is illegal and you could be held liable and have to pay damages as a result. Omni academy reserves the right to seek damages from anyone who submits a notification of claimed infringement in violation of the law.
2. There are types of content that are not protected by copyright. Copyright law doesn’t cover short phrases (like business names, book titles, and slogans), intangible concepts (like processes, ideas, and recipes), or facts. Before you submit a copyright claim, make sure that the content copied in the course is indeed protected by copyright. If you need to report a trademark violation send email to complaints@omni-academy.com
3. Consider whether the use of your material in the course is “fair use”. Copyright law includes a “fair use” exception for certain uses of copyrighted content that are considered to be in the public interest. Fair use covers things like criticism, commentary, news reporting, and research. In considering whether a course’s use of your material qualifies as fair use, you should look at:

• The purpose of the use (whether the course is paid or unpaid, whether the course critiques/parodies/transforms your material)
• The type of copyrighted work being used (whether your work is factual or creative)
• The portion being used (whether the course uses small, necessary excerpts of your material or substantial portions of it)
• The effect on the market for your material (whether potential buyers would purchase the course instead of your material)

Counter-Notification

If we receive a valid copyright violation report, we will send a copy of that report to the instructor who posted the reported course along with a notification that 1) the course was reported for copyright infringement and 2) we are removing the course from the Omni Academy service.
