TAGYARD takes appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal data that we collect and store. These measures vary based on the type and sensitivity of the data. Unfortunately, however, no system can be 100% secured, so we cannot guarantee that communications between you and TAGYARD, the Services, or any information provided to us in connection with the data we collect through the Services will be free from unauthorized access by third parties. Your password is an important part of our security system, and it is your responsibility to protect it. You should not share your password with any third party, and if you believe your password or account has been compromised, you should change it immediately and contact TAGYARD Technical Support with any concerns.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY POLICY

TAGYARD is a technology platform that enables anyone anywhere to create and share educational courses. We host our institution partner and verified instructor courses on our online course market. Our course market model means we do not review or edit the courses for legal issues, and we are not in a position to determine the legality of course content. However, it is important to us that institution partners and verified instructors posting courses on TAGYARD respect the intellectual property of others. When institution partners and verified instructors post courses on our course market, they make the promise that they have the necessary authorization or rights to use all the content contained in their courses.

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 TAGYARD platform. The policy also addresses what we do when TAGYARD institution partners and verified instructors’ courses are copied on third-party platforms without their consent.

1.0 THIRD-PARTY COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT REPORTS

TAGYARD’s policy is to remove courses from our service when they are reported as infringing on 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 TAGYARD 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.

1.1 HOW TO FILE A REPORT

If you would like to report a course on the TAGYARD course market 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 use send us an official email at tagyard.solutions@gmail.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 the 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 to 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 TAGYARD 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”.

3. 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. TAGYARD reserves the right to seek damages from anyone who submits a notification of claimed infringement in violation of the law.

4. 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.

5. 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)

Before you submit a copyright claim, make sure that the use of the content copied in the course does not qualify as fair use.

1.2 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 TAGYARD service. We will also attach a form that the instructor can fill in and send back to us to submit a counter-notification. If your course has been reported for copyright infringement and removed from the TAGYARD service, and if you believe we made a mistake or that you have permission from the owner of the reported content to use such content in your course, then you may send us a counter-notification.

The best way to provide us with a counter-notification is to send an official email at tagyard.solutions@gmail.com, we provided you and send it back to the TAGYARD designated agent or the copyright team member who notified you. To be effective, a counter-notification must be in writing and include the following information:
  • Your physical or electronic signature;
  • Your name, address, and email address or telephone number,
  • Identification of the course that was removed and the location (URL) at which it appeared before it was removed (you can access this information from the copyright infringement report filed against your course, we always attach a copy when we notify you);

Knowingly submitting a false or misleading counter-notification to a claim of infringement is illegal and you could be held liable and have to pay damages as a result. TAGYARD reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a counter-notification of claimed infringement or counter-notification in violation of the law.

1.3 REPORTS FROM INSTITUTION PARTNER AND VERIFIED INSTRUCTOR OF INFRINGING CONTENT ON OTHER PLATFORMS

We understand that when you post and make available your courses on the TAGYARD course market, you want to make sure that you will not find your courses offered on another platform without your permission. To help combat copyright infringement and piracy affecting courses of our institution partner and verified instructors, we partnered with an anti-piracy vendor, to seek out and find instances of infringement and to have any infringing content removed from third-party platforms.

In the event you find your course available on another platform without your permission, please send us an official email at tagyard.solutions@gmail.com. The anti-piracy vendor will file copyright infringement reports and exercise legal actions to have the infringing content removed as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that since TAGYARD and anti-piracy vendors don’t control the content on other sites, we may not always be successful, especially if your content is on a site outside of Malaysia. Certain countries take different approaches to copyright law; as such, we cannot guarantee the infringing party or hosting site will comply with our notices and remove the infringing content from their platform.

1.4 THIRD-PARTY TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT REPORTS

TAGYARD’s policy is to remove courses from our service when they are reported as infringing on a third-party trademark. We also reserve the right to terminate an instructor’s account at any time, including when they post content in violation of the trademark rights of others. How to submit a trademark infringement report?

The fastest and easiest way to submit a report of trademark infringement to us is to send a notice to the Designated Agent through official email at tagyard.solutions@gmail.com, containing the information identified below. Please note that a copy of your notice will be sent to the party who posted the content you are reporting. Before you submit a trademark infringement report, please remember these important things:

1. Your trademark claim has to be sufficiently substantiated for us to be able to address it. This means your communication must include substantially the following:

  • Your complete contact information (full name, mailing address, and email or phone number).
  • The specific word, symbol, etc. for which you claim trademark rights.
  • The basis for your claim of trademark rights (such as a national or community registration), including registration number, if applicable.
  • The country or jurisdiction in which you claim trademark rights.
  • The category of goods and/or services for which you assert rights.
  • Sufficient information for us to locate the material on TAGYARD that you believe violates your trademark rights (web addresses/URLs of the allegedly infringing content).
  • A description of how you believe this content infringes on your trademark.
  • If you are not the rights holder, an explanation of your relationship to the rights holder.
  • The following statement: "I have a good faith belief that use of the trademark as described above in the manner complained of is not authorized by the trademark owner, its agent, or the law."
  • The following statement: "The information in this notice is accurate, and I declare, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of a trademark that is allegedly infringed."
  • Your electronic signature ("/s/" followed by your full name, e.g., "/s/ Alex Doe") or physical signature.
2. Submitting a false or misleading claim of infringement could result in liability for you. TAGYARD reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a false or misleading notification of claimed trademark infringement.

3. Consider whether the use of your trademark in the course is "nominative fair use". Trademark law protects the use of a name or brand for selling products and services, with the goal of preventing consumer confusion. Most countries laws include an exception for "fair use", which allows others to use a trademark for factually referencing the trademarked product or service, or commenting on or criticizing the mark. Consider the likelihood that others would be confused into thinking that your company or brand had created or is sponsoring the course. Before you submit a trademark claim, make sure that the use of your trademark in the course does not qualify as fair use.

2.0 CONFIDENTIALITY

a) Scope of Confidentiality. Each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, or business, technical, and financial information disclosed to such party ("Receiving Party") by the disclosing party ("Disclosing Party"), constitute the confidential information of the Disclosing Party ("Confidential Information"), provided that it is either identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be confidential due to the nature of the information disclosed.

You should check these policies periodically to ensure that you comply with any updates to them. You understand that your use of the Services is subject to TAGYARD's approval, which we may grant or deny at our sole discretion.

We reserve the right to remove courses, suspend pay-outs, and/or ban instructors for any reason at any time, without prior notice, including in cases where:
  • an instructor or course does not comply with our policies or legal terms (including the Terms of Use);
  • a course falls below our quality standards or harms the student experience;

2.0 COURSE FACILITATOR

The TAGYARD platform allows you to add other users as a module team member or course facilitator for courses that you manage. By adding a module team member or course facilitator, you understand that you are authorizing them to take certain actions that affect your TAGYARD account and courses. TAGYARD is not able to advise on any questions or mediate any disputes between you and such users. If your co-instructors have an assigned revenue share, their share will be paid out of your earned revenue share based on the ratios you have specified in your Course Management settings as of the date of the purchase.

3.0 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER USERS

Instructors don't have a direct contractual relationship with students, so the only information you'll receive about students is what is provided to you through the Services. You agree that you will not use the data you receive for any purpose other than providing your services to those students on the TAGYARD platform and that you won't solicit additional personal data or store students' data outside the TAGYARD platform. You will indemnify TAGYARD against any claims arising from your use of students' data.

4.0 ANTI-PIRACY EFFORTS

We partner with anti-piracy vendors to help protect your courses from unauthorized use. To enable this protection, you hereby appoint TAGYARD and our anti-piracy vendors as your agents to enforce copyrights for each of your courses, through notice and takedown processes and for other efforts to enforce those rights. You grant TAGYARD and our anti-piracy vendor's primary authority to file notices on your behalf to enforce your copyright interests.

You agree that TAGYARD and our anti-piracy vendors will retain the above rights unless you revoke them by sending an email to tagyard.solutions@gmail.com with the subject line: "Revoke Anti-Piracy Protection Rights" from the email address associated with your account. Any revocation of rights will be effective 48 hours after we receive it.

PRICING

1.0 PRICING SETTING

When creating a course, the institution partner will be granted a field to define a course price for the designed course. Alternatively, you may choose to offer your course for free.

2.0 PAYMENTS

2.1 REVENUE SHARE

When a student purchases your course, we calculate the gross amount of the sale as the amount received by TAGYARD from the student ("Gross Amount"). From this, we subtract any Transaction Taxes, any mobile platform fees applied to mobile application sales, a 3% administrative and handling fee to calculate the net amount of the sale ("Net Amount").

TAGYARD makes all institution partners and verified instructor payments in Ringgit Malaysia (RM) regardless of the currency with which the sale was made. We will assume transaction processing fees, excluding foreign currency conversion fees and wiring fees. Your revenue report will show the sales price (in local currency) and your converted revenue amount (in RM).

2.2 RECEIVING PAYMENTS

For us to pay you promptly, you must submit your account detail in good standing and must keep us informed of the correct email associated with your account.

We reserve the right to withhold payments or impose other penalties if we do not receive proper identifying information or tax documentation from you. You understand and agree that you are ultimately responsible for any taxes on your income.

Depending on the applicable revenue share model, payment will be made within 45 days of the end of the month in which (a) we receive the fee for a course or (b) the relevant course consumption occurred.

If we cannot settle funds into your payment account after the period set forth by your state, country, or other government authority in its unclaimed property laws, we may process the funds due to you by our legal obligations, including by submitting those funds to the appropriate government authority as required by law.

3.0 REFUNDS

You acknowledge and agree that students have the right to receive a refund, as detailed in the Terms of Use. Institution Partner & Verified Instructors will not receive any revenue from transactions for which a refund has been granted under the Terms of Use.

If a student asks for a refund after we have paid the relevant instructor payment, we reserve the right to either (1) deduct the amount of the refund from the next payment sent to the instructor or (2) where no further payments are due to the instructor or the payments are insufficient to cover the refunded amounts, require the instructor to refund any amounts refunded to students for the instructor's courses.

TRADEMARKS

While you are our institution partner & verified instructor and subject to the requirements below, you may use our trademarks where we authorize you to do so.

You must:
  • only use the images of our trademarks that we make available to you;
  • only use our trademarks in connection with the promotion and sale of your TAGYARD courses or your participation on TAGYARD; and
  • immediately comply if we request that you discontinue use.
You must not:
  • use our trademarks misleadingly or disparagingly;
  • use our trademarks in a way that implies that we endorse, sponsor, or approve of your courses or services; or
  • use our trademarks in a way that violates applicable law or in connection with an obscene, indecent, or unlawful topic or material.

MISCELLANEOUS LEGAL TERMS

1.0 UPDATING THESE TERMS

From time to time, we may update these Terms to clarify our practices or to reflect new or different practices (such as when we add new features), and TAGYARD reserves the right in its sole discretion to modify and/or make changes to these Terms at any time. If we make any material change, we will notify you using prominent means such as by email notice sent to the email address specified in your account or by posting a notice through our Services. Modifications will become effective on the day they are posted unless stated otherwise.

Your continued use of our Services after changes become effective shall mean that you accept those changes. Any revised Terms shall supersede all previous Terms.

REFUND PROCEDURES

We want you to be satisfied, so all courses purchased on TAGYARD can be refunded within 30 days. For whatever reason, if you are unhappy with a course, you can request a refund.

Most refunds are returned via the original payment method. Please note that certain restrictions may apply and some purchases may only be eligible for credit refunds. For more information, please see below.

1.0 HOW TO REQUEST A REFUND

You can quickly request a refund by contacting our technical support team. You can also make a refund request by sending an official email at tagyard.solutions@gmail.com, with the title of "Request a refund".

When you submit a refund request, please be sure to include the course URL.

Please be note that refund procedures only valid for a course that enrols and pays through our official payment gateway and your course progress must be less than 5% in total. Any other payment method makes rather than our official payment gateway is not under TAGYARD responsible.

2.0 REASONS FOR DENIED REFUNDS

While our 30-day refund policy is in place to protect students, we must also protect our instructors from fraud and provide them a reasonable payment schedule. Payments are sent to instructors after 30 days, so we will not process refund requests received after the refund window.

If all course content was downloaded before the refund was requested, the refund request may be rejected. Finally, students who purchase and refund multiple courses over an extended period may be subject to suspension for abuse of the refund policy.
