5. Copyright Takedown and Infringement

If you’d like to report content on the MindMeld platform and if you are the owner or the designated agent of the owner of the rights to the content that you believe the content is infringing, the most efficient way is to report it at info@Mindmeld.in.

Before you submit a copyright takedown notice, 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 content you are reporting has received proper permission from the owner to use the content. We’ll ask you to provide an electronic signature or the relevant documents to confirm that you’re the copyright owner or have authority to represent the copyright owner (including if the copyright owner is an organization). If you don’t own the content that you’re reporting, you’re welcome to reach out to the owner.
  2. Knowingly submitting a false or misleading copyright takedown notice is illegal and you could be held liable and have to pay damages as a result. MindMeld reserves the right to seek damages from anyone who submits a notification of claimed infringement in violation of the law.
  3. Consider whether the use of your material in the content 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. Before you submit a copyright claim, make sure that use of the copied content does not qualify as fair use. Fair use covers things like criticism, commentary, news reporting, and research.
  4. There are types of content that aren’t 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 copied content is indeed protected by copyright.
  5. Your copyright claim has to be sufficiently substantiated for us to be able to address it. This means:
    1. You provide sufficient information for us to contact you, including your full legal name, an email address, physical address, and (optional) telephone number;
    1. If you’re filing a notice on behalf of an organization, you include the name of the organization and your relationship to the organization;
    1. 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);
    1. You provide sufficient information for us to locate the reportedly infringing content on the MindMeld platform (the URL on our website and the exact name of the course and instructor); and
    1. You add a statement saying: “I declare, under penalty of jury, 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”.

All infringing copies of any work in which copyright subsists or intended to be used for the production of such infringing copies, shall be deemed to be the property of the owner of the copyright, who accordingly may take proceedings for the recovery of possession.

Counter-Notification

If we receive a valid copyright takedown notice, we’ll send a copy of that notice to the instructor who posted the reported content along with a notification that: (1) the content was reported for copyright infringement and (2) we’re removing the content from the MindMeld platform. We’ll also attach a form that the instructor can fill in and send back to us to submit a counter-notification. If your content has been reported for copyright infringement and removed from the MindMeld platform, and if you believe we made a mistake or that you have permission from the owner of the reported content to use such content, then you may send us a counter-notification.

Trademark Takedown

MindMeld’s policy is to remove content from our platform when it’s reported and found to be infringing a third-party trademark. If you’re a trademark owner or a trademark owner’s authorized representative, you may submit trademark takedown notices to MindMeld. MindMeld reserves the right to terminate an instructor’s account at any time, including when they post content in violation of the trademark rights of another from its marketplace. You will follow the same process as mentioned above in subpoint 5 of the Copyright take down clause.

Infringement of your MindMeld Content on Third-Party Platforms

We understand that when you post and make available your content on the MindMeld platform, you want to make sure that you won’t find that content offered on another platform without your permission. To help combat copyright infringement and piracy affecting courses of our instructors, we’ve taken the necessary technical steps. However, for further course of action, you may have to connect with the other platform for legal action. MindMeld will support you in the best way possible.

6. Right of Content author / MindMeld to relinquish copyright

The author of a work may relinquish all or any of the rights comprised in the copyright in the work by giving notice. In case if the ownership of a program is ceased by unforeseen circumstances like death, the next in line kin can approach MindMeld for an official transfer of the license and its benefits in their name. Substantial court orders and legal document will be mandatory for such transfer.

MindMeld will follow up with all content licensor at least once a year incase if they have not withdrawn the amount accumulated from their programs. In such scenario, adequate number of notices will be sent to the content licensor asking them to withdraw their amount. If the content licensor fails to respond, the account shall be suspended for financial transactions and the content licensor will lose their copyright ownership of the content held with Mindmeld.

MindMeld is also authorized to purchase the copyrighted content from the content creator.

7. Jurisdiction

All disputes under the copyright shall be covered by The Copyright Act, 157 of India and the disputes shall be resolved in the Mumbai office, India.
