Safe Harbor Principles

Our Commitment

Avo operates as an online service provider under the safe harbor provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) 17 U.S.C. § 512. We are committed to respecting copyright and responding appropriately to notices of alleged infringement.

Safe Harbor Protections

As a qualifying service provider under DMCA § 512(c), Avo maintains safe harbor protections by:

• Not having actual knowledge of infringing material on our service
• Not being aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent
• Acting expeditiously to remove or disable access to material upon obtaining knowledge of infringement
• Not receiving a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity
• Designating an agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement
• Accommodating and not interfering with standard technical measures used to identify or protect copyrighted works

User-Generated Content

Avo is a platform that allows users to interact with curated learning content. While we curate and create educational materials, we do not pre-screen all content for copyright compliance. We rely on copyright holders to notify us of any concerns through proper DMCA procedures.

Educational Fair Use

Avo's use of short video clips is intended for educational purposes and may qualify as fair use under copyright law. We use brief excerpts to facilitate language learning, accompanied by educational commentary, subtitles, and interactive exercises. However, we respect all valid copyright claims and will promptly address any concerns raised through proper legal channels.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with DMCA requirements, Avo maintains a policy for terminating the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We reserve the right to terminate access for users who repeatedly post infringing material after receiving proper notice.
