Copyright Policy

Last Updated: August 14, 2024

Wontum is a dynamic platform that empowers individuals from around the globe to create and share educational content. We host a diverse range of courses on our online learning marketplace. Due to the nature of our marketplace model, Wontum does not pre-screen or edit content for legal compliance, nor are we in a position to assess the legality of the content uploaded by creators. However, Wontum is committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others and expects all creators on our platform to uphold the same standard. By posting content on Wontum, creators affirm that they have the necessary rights or authorization to use and distribute that content.

Infringing activities are strictly prohibited on our platform.

This policy outlines Wontum's procedures for responding to copyright takedown notices from content owners and trademark takedown notices from trademark owners regarding content on the Wontum platform. It also addresses actions Wontum may take when courses created by Wontum instructors are unlawfully copied and distributed on third-party platforms without their consent.
