Copyright and takedown policy

How content rights apply on NOUNPro and how rights holders can request review of potentially infringing material.

Last updated: 21 August 2026

Ownership and permitted use

NOUNPro’s original text, design, branding, databases, product presentation and commissioned resources are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Purchasing a resource does not transfer ownership; it provides only the personal-use licence stated in our Terms.

User and contributor responsibility

Anyone submitting a document, listing or service material must own it, have permission to use it, or rely on a lawful exception. Contributors must not upload pirated textbooks, restricted course materials, stolen assessment content or another person’s work presented as original.

Reporting an issue

If you believe content on NOUNPro infringes your copyright or other intellectual-property right, use the contact form and select “Copyright or takedown”. Include:

  • Your name and a reliable contact method
  • Identification of the protected work
  • The exact NOUNPro page or item at issue
  • An explanation of your ownership or authority to act
  • A good-faith statement that the disputed use is not authorised
  • A statement that the information you provide is accurate

Review process

We may request supporting evidence, temporarily limit access during review, contact the uploader or provider, remove material, restore material where a complaint is not substantiated, or take other proportionate action. Knowingly false or abusive notices may result in liability or account restrictions.

Repeat infringement

Accounts or contributor access may be suspended or terminated for repeated or serious infringement. We may preserve relevant records where needed to resolve a complaint or meet legal obligations.

Trademarks and institutional names

NOUNPro is an independent platform. University names, course codes and course titles are used for descriptive identification and do not imply endorsement. See our Independence Disclosure for details.
