DMCA Notice and Takedown Policy

Last updated August 21, 2026

Groves Holdings LLC, doing business as GradePath, respects copyright and can review notices concerning material available through GradePath. Course Commons users may submit only content they created or have permission to share. Raw recordings and transcripts cannot be published to Course Commons.

1. Copyright notice

If you believe material available through GradePath infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to enforce, send a written notice that includes substantially the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work, or a representative list if the notice covers multiple works.
3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing and information reasonably sufficient for GradePath to locate it, such as the Course Commons contribution identifier, course scope, and a screenshot or URL where available.
4. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner of an exclusive right allegedly infringed.

2. Copyright contact

This page does not represent that this contact is listed in the U.S. Copyright Office directory. Directory registration and renewal status must be independently completed and verified before GradePath makes that representation.

3. Review and temporary action

GradePath may ask for missing information, preserve relevant records, restrict or disable access while reviewing a notice, notify the contributor, and remove or disable material when appropriate. We may also act under our Terms, privacy rules, institution or classroom restrictions, or another legal process even when a submission does not meet every statutory-notice element.

4. Counter-notice

If your material was removed or disabled because of a copyright notice and you believe the action resulted from mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice containing substantially the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the removed or disabled material and where it appeared before the action.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, plus the jurisdiction and service-of-process consent required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3).

GradePath may forward a valid counter-notice to the original claimant. If the statutory process applies, restoration is subject to its waiting period and can be prevented by notice that the claimant filed an action seeking a court order. GradePath can keep material unavailable for a separate Terms, safety, privacy, academic-integrity, or rights reason.

5. Repeat infringement

GradePath may restrict or terminate accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Decisions can consider valid notices, counter-notices, retractions, court outcomes, repeated rights attestations, and other reliable evidence. GradePath does not use an automatic numeric strike rule.

6. Misrepresentations and other reports

Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a copyright notice or counter-notice can create liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). This process is for copyright claims. Use GradePath's in-product report control or email support for privacy, nonconsensual recording, copied assessment, harassment, impersonation, or other concerns.

7. Records and contact

GradePath may retain notices, counter-notices, related content identifiers, communications, moderation actions, and account history to document the process, enforce repeat-infringer rules, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Questions can be sent to [email protected].
