Copyright Policy

ConceptFirst authors and publishes its own educational content rather than hosting material uploaded by others, so this is not a “safe-harbour” notice under the US DMCA or the intermediary provisions of India's Information Technology Act — neither applies to a publisher of its own work. It is a voluntary complaints and takedown process we adopt in good faith, and any question about copyright in our material is dealt with on its merits under the Copyright Act, 1957 (India) — including that facts and individual questions are not copyrightable, that we independently create our explanations and artwork, and the fair-dealing provisions of Section 52. If you believe a specific item nonetheless infringes your rights, the process below lets us look into it and act.

ConceptFirst is built to respect copyright at the architecture level, not just on request:

• We extract facts and questions (curriculum structure, exam questions, patterns, weightage — which are generally not copyrightable) and generate all explanatory content fresh. We do not reproduce textbook prose, private coaching question banks, or copyrighted compilations.
• Where a textbook prints copyrighted third-party material (photographs, political cartoons, press excerpts), we deliberately hold it back rather than reproduce it — we describe and explain, we don't copy.
• Diagrams and figures on the platform are our own original artwork, drawn to make the same educational point — never scans or traces of a book's art.
• Where licensing is unclear, we flag and withhold rather than build on shaky ground.

We respect the rights of others and respond promptly to valid infringement notices.

If you believe content on ConceptFirst infringes your copyright, send a notice containing:

• your name, contact details, and your authority to act for the rights owner;
• identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
• the exact URL(s) of the allegedly infringing material on our platform;
• a good-faith statement that the use is not authorised by the rights owner, their agent, or the law; and
• a statement that the information in the notice is accurate, signed (physically or electronically).

Submit via the contact page (category: Privacy & legal) or email hello@conceptfirst.ai with the subject "Copyright notice". Incomplete notices may be returned for completion rather than actioned.

On receiving a valid notice we will: acknowledge it, review the material against the claim, and where the claim holds, remove or disable access to the material promptly. Because our content pipeline separates extracted facts from generated explanation, we can usually trace exactly where a disputed item came from and act narrowly rather than take down more than necessary. We keep records of notices and outcomes.

If your material was removed and you believe that was an error (mistake or misidentification), you may submit a counter-notice with: your contact details, identification of the removed material and its former URL, a good-faith statement (under penalty of law) that the removal was mistaken, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka. If the original complainant does not initiate legal action within a reasonable period after we forward the counter-notice, we may restore the material.

Accounts that repeatedly upload or submit infringing material are terminated. Knowingly false infringement claims and false counter-notices can attract legal liability — do not misuse this process to attack legitimate educational content.
