Creator ownership
Creators keep ownership of the original work they lawfully create and upload. Uploading a resource to Teach This Way! doesn’t transfer its copyright to us. Creators give Teach This Way! a limited license to host, display, distribute to buyers and members, and promote their content on the marketplace, as described in the Creator Terms.
Copyright and commercial-use responsibilities
Creators may only sell work they own or have the right to sell. Every image, clipart, font, video, template, character and other element in a resource must be original, properly licensed for commercial use, in the public domain or otherwise lawfully used. Buying an asset or finding it online doesn’t by itself give anyone the right to resell it. Creators must keep evidence of their permissions and provide it when we reasonably ask.
Copyright infringement
Copied resources, pirated material, copyrighted curriculum, another seller’s content and any other material used without authorization aren’t allowed. Teach This Way! may investigate reports, remove material that is alleged to infringe, and process DMCA notices and counter-notices that meet the legal requirements.
Report copyright infringement
Send a notice through our contact form (topic: Report a concern) that includes:
- your name, address, phone number and email;
- a description of your original work;
- the address (URL) of the resource on Teach This Way! you believe copies it;

- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner;

Counter-notice
If your resource was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you can send a counter-notice with the same contact details, the removed resource, a statement under penalty of perjury that it was removed by mistake, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address.
Repeat infringers
We restrict or close the stores and accounts of people who repeatedly infringe.
Creator responsibility
Creators are solely responsible for the content they upload, publish and sell, including its ownership, commercial-use permissions and originality. When Teach This Way! reviews, scans, approves or hosts a resource, or doesn’t act on it, that responsibility doesn’t move to Teach This Way!.
Enforcement
Teach This Way! may reject, restrict, unpublish or remove content that infringes someone else’s rights or breaks our policies, and may suspend or terminate a creator’s store or account as permitted by the Creator Terms and the law.
