"Should Teachable receive two or more DMCA complaints regarding any Creator, Teachable may simply remove that Creator from the Teachable Platform without further warning. Note: as we state in our Teachable Rights section, we still reserve the right to remove any school at any time for any reason. This Repeat Infringement section does not change that right in any way.Excerpt from Teachable's Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The DMCA repeat infringer policy implements the safe harbor eligibility requirements under 17 U.S.C. Section 512(i), which conditions platform safe harbor protection on adoption and implementation of a repeat infringer policy. The two-complaint threshold and no-warning removal mechanism are consistent with DMCA safe harbor maintenance practices, though the statute does not mandate a specific threshold. The Copyright Office and federal courts are the relevant authorities. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The two-complaint removal threshold creates a low bar for Creator account termination based on DMCA complaints, including potentially wrongful complaints. The DMCA counter-notice procedure is available but does not stay removal pending resolution. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: This provision applies globally to all Creators on the Platform, but the DMCA framework is a US statute. Non-US Creators may not have equivalent statutory counter-notice protections under their home jurisdictions. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Creator businesses should assess their intellectual property compliance practices for uploaded content and establish internal review procedures before uploading third-party materials to avoid triggering the two-complaint threshold. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams advising Creator businesses should review the DMCA counter-notice procedure at dmca@teachable.com and assess whether the counter-notice filing preserves any rights pending Teachable's review.
