It supplements the Terms of Use and applies to platform content, lesson materials, PDFs, images, videos, homework, and related learning resources.
1. AlpacaLingua Materials
AlpacaLingua owns or licenses the platform, software, curriculum, lesson materials, worksheets, PDFs, exercises, images, videos, designs, trademarks, logos, mascot, and related brand assets unless stated otherwise.
2. Student License
Students receive a limited, personal, non-transferable license to use AlpacaLingua materials for their own learning. Students may not resell, redistribute, publicly post, bulk download, copy, modify, or use materials outside the platform without permission.
3. Teacher-Created Materials
Teacher-created materials may belong to the teacher, AlpacaLingua, or another rights holder depending on the teacher agreement, assignment, and source materials. Teachers should not upload or use materials unless they have the right to do so.
4. Student Submissions
Students keep ownership of their homework, answers, uploads, messages, and learning submissions. AlpacaLingua receives a limited license to store, display, review, annotate, and use submissions to provide teaching, feedback, support, progress tracking, and platform services.
5. Trademarks
Users may not use AlpacaLingua names, logos, mascot, screenshots, trade dress, or branding in a way that suggests endorsement, affiliation, resale, or official approval without written permission.
6. Copyright Complaints
A copyright complaint should identify the protected work, the allegedly infringing content, the URL or location, the complainant’s contact information, ownership or authorization, and the requested action. AlpacaLingua may request additional details.
7. Takedowns and Repeat Infringers
AlpacaLingua may remove or restrict allegedly infringing content, notify affected users where appropriate, and suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe intellectual property rights. A DMCA contact may be added if legally applicable.
