Intellectual Property

What belongs to ScholarOut

The ScholarOut name, owl and laurel logo, tagline, website design, text, graphics and software are owned by ScholarOut or its licensors and are protected by Canadian and international copyright and trademark law. Sample profiles, illustrations and portraits on our marketing pages are illustrative and are also our property.

Using our brand

You may link to scholarout.com and to your own ScholarOut profile — including on a résumé, application or email signature. You may not use our name or logo in a way that suggests we endorse, sponsor or are affiliated with you, or alter our logo, without our written permission.

What belongs to you

Students keep ownership of everything they post: profile text, achievements, photos, videos and the CV they download. You give ScholarOut only a limited licence to host and display it to operate the service, which ends when you delete it or your account. See section 6 of our Terms of Service.

Respecting others' rights

Only upload content you created or have permission to use. Don't upload music, film clips, artwork, photos or logos owned by someone else unless you have the right to.

Reporting copyright infringement

ScholarOut follows Canada's notice-and-notice regime under the Copyright Act, and responds to valid notices from rights holders in other countries. To report content you believe infringes your rights, email info@scholarout.com or use the Contact Us page with the subject line "Intellectual Property" and include:

• Your name, address and email address.
• The work you own and believe is being infringed.
• A link to the content on ScholarOut.
• A statement that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them, and that the information in your notice is accurate.

What happens next

We will review every notice, forward it to the user concerned where required, and remove content that infringes. Accounts that repeatedly infringe will be closed. Knowingly false notices may expose the sender to legal liability.
