At Itmad, our mission is to increase access to high-quality education for everyone, everywhere – including learners with disabilities. We seek to understand and respect the unique needs and perspectives of the Itmad global community, and we value every learner. Accordingly, we are committed to ensuring that www.itmadacademy.com is accessible to individuals with disabilities and that our platform permits content providers to develop and post accessible content. To meet this goal, we are committed to the following:

We aim to conform www.itmadacademy.com with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (“WCAG “) 2.1 AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium, and provide course authoring tools that permit content providers to post course content that conforms with WCAG 2.1 AA. We verify conformance through a combination of manual code inspection, automated testing using industry-recognized tools, compatibility testing using the most widely used accessibility support tools and, from time to time, review by an independent website accessibility consultant.

We prioritize accessibility bug fixes to ensure they are remedied with the same level of priority as any other equivalent loss of function for individuals without disabilities.

We link to this policy from the www.itmad.ae and distribute it to content providers and relevant Itmad employees and contractors.

We welcome accessibility-related feedback, including requests for accommodation, through the [[email protected]] inbox, which is managed by a knowledgeable Itmad support team.

If a Learner fails all permitted attempts, they will be required to repurchase the course at forty percent (40%) of the original course fee to regain access and take the exam again. Upon re-enrollment, the Learner may continue from their previous progress, subject to the standard 12-month access duration.

It is the Learner’s strict responsibility to download and securely save their E-Certificates and any downloadable course materials immediately upon course completion.

5.6.2 Right to Delete & Platform Migration

We reserve the right to delete Learner data, progress, and credentials at any time after this 3-month period. In the event of a system upgrade or migration to a new learning platform, legacy data and old certificates will not be transferred.

5.6.3 Manual Verification

If your digital certificate is no longer hosted on our platform due to the above retention limits, third parties or employers may still verify the authenticity of an ITMAD certificate by submitting a formal verification request via email to our support team.

Once the Learner has been enrolled in the learning platform, the course cannot be changed, switched, or refunded under any circumstances.

Refunds will only be processed in the rare event of a disaster, prolonged technical failure, or complete unavailability of the purchased course originating solely from Itmad Certification Services LLC’s side, which renders us unable to deliver the purchased services.

Authorization

Itmad Certification Services LLC can only process copyright takedown notices submitted by the copyright owner or a party expressly authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf. If you are not the rights holder, please contact the rights holder directly and refer them to this Policy.

False or Misleading Notices

Knowingly submitting a false, inaccurate, or misleading copyright takedown notice is a serious legal matter. Under applicable law you may be held personally liable for damages — including costs and legal fees — incurred by Itmad Certification Services LLC, the affected instructor, or other parties as a result of a wrongful takedown. Itmad Certification Services LLC expressly reserves the right to seek such damages.

Fair Use & Equivalent Doctrines

Copyright law in many jurisdictions recognizes exceptions to infringement for certain socially valuable uses of protected material. Before filing a notice, please assess whether the use of your material may qualify as fair use (or an equivalent doctrine in your jurisdiction). Factors relevant to this assessment include:

  • The purpose and nature of the use — including whether it is commercial or educational, and whether it transforms, comments upon, or parodies your original work;
  • The nature of the copyrighted work — whether it is factual or highly creative;
  • The amount and substantiality of the portion used relative to the whole work; and
  • The effect of the use on the potential market for or value of your original work.

Scope of Copyright Protection

Please note that copyright does not protect short phrases, titles, slogans, names, ideas, concepts, procedures, methods, or factual information. If your concern relates to unauthorized use of a name, logo, or phrase, please refer to the Trademark Takedown Notices section of this Policy.

Materially incomplete notices will not be actioned. Itmad Certification Services LLC reserves the right to request additional information to substantiate a claim before taking any removal action.

Please submit your notice to the Designated Contact identified in Section 10 of this Policy.

10.5 Counter-Notification Procedure

Upon receipt of a valid copyright takedown notice, Itmad Certification Services LLC will:

3. Provide the instructor with a copy of the takedown notice and the opportunity to submit a counter-notification.

You may be held personally liable for damages, costs, and legal fees incurred by the original claimant and by Itmad Certification Services LLC as a result of a wrongful counter-notification.

To be valid and actionable, a counter-notification must be submitted in writing and must include:

(a) your full legal name, mailing address, and email address or telephone number;

(b) identification of the content that was removed and the URL at which it appeared on the Platform immediately prior to removal (this information is included in the takedown notice we will have forwarded to you);

(c) the following declaration, which you must include verbatim:

“I declare, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the content identified above was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.”

(d) a statement confirming your consent to:

(i) Itmad Certification Services LLC disclosing your name and contact information to the original claimant;

(ii) receiving service of legal process from the claimant or their representative; and

(iii) the jurisdiction of the courts in your country of residence for any dispute arising from the counter-notification; and

(e) your physical or electronic signature.

10.6 Trademark Takedown Notices

Itmad Certification Services LLC’s policy is to investigate and, where appropriate, remove content from the Platform that is reported and substantiated as infringing a third party’s registered or common-law trademark. Trademark rights holders or their duly authorized representatives may submit trademark takedown notices to Itmad Certification Services LLC in accordance with the procedure set out below.

Itmad Certification Services LLC reserves the right to terminate the account of any instructor or user who is found to have published content in violation of a third party’s trademark rights.

Before submitting a trademark takedown notice, please consider the following:

Fair Use of Trademarks

Trademark law in most jurisdictions recognizes a fair use exception that permits reference to a trademarked name or brand in the course of factual description, commentary, criticism, or comparative advertising, provided such use does not create a likelihood of consumer confusion. Before filing a notice, consider whether the use of your mark on the Platform constitutes a permissible nominative or descriptive fair use.

Likelihood of Confusion

The central question in trademark infringement is whether the use of your mark is likely to cause consumers to believe that your organization created, endorsed, or sponsored the relevant content. If no such confusion is reasonably likely, a trademark takedown notice may not be appropriate.

False or Misleading Notices

Submitting a false or misleading trademark takedown notice may expose you to legal liability. Itmad Certification Services LLC reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a wrongful or bad-faith trademark infringement notice.

10.7 How to File a Trademark Takedown Notice

To file a valid trademark takedown notice with Itmad Certification Services LLC, your written communication must include all of the following:

(a) your full legal name, mailing address, and email address or telephone number;

(b) if filing on behalf of an organization, the full legal name of the organization and your title or role;

(c) the specific word, phrase, logo, symbol, or other mark for which you claim trademark rights;

(d) the basis for your trademark rights, including any applicable registration number(s) and the country or jurisdiction of registration;

(e) the class(es) of goods or services for which the mark is registered or claimed;

(f) the precise location(s) on the Platform — including course title, instructor name, and direct URL — where your mark is alleged to appear without authorization;

(g) a description of how the use of your mark in the identified content constitutes infringement and, in particular, how it is likely to cause consumer confusion;

(h) if you are not the trademark owner, a clear statement of your relationship to and authorization from the owner;

(i) the following declaration, which you must include verbatim:

“I have a good faith belief that the use of the trademark described above is not authorized by the trademark owner, its agent, or applicable law.”

(j) the following declaration, which you must include verbatim:

“The information in this notice is accurate and I declare, under penalty of perjury, that I am the trademark owner or am duly authorized to act on behalf of the trademark owner.”

(k) your consent to Itmad Certification Services LLC sharing your name and contact information with the uploader of the reported content; and

(l) your physical or electronic signature (“/s/” followed by your full name).

Please note that a copy of your trademark notice will be shared with the instructor or user who posted the reported content.

10.8 Infringement of Your Itmad Certification Services LLC Content on Third-Party Platforms

Itmad Certification Services LLC recognizes that instructors and content contributors invest significant time, effort, and expertise in developing their courses and materials. Itmad Certification Services LLC takes the unauthorized reproduction, redistribution, or sale of its instructors’ content on third-party platforms seriously.

If you discover that your Itmad Certification Services LLC course or any portion thereof — including video lectures, course materials, assessments, or supplementary resources — has been made available on another platform or website without your authorization, please notify Itmad Certification Services LLC immediately by contacting the Designated Contact set out in Section 20 below, providing:

(a) your full name and the title of the affected course;

(b) the URL or platform where the infringing copy has been found;

(c) a brief description of the infringing content and how it replicates your original course material; and

(d) any supporting evidence, such as screenshots or links.

Itmad Certification Services LLC will review all reports in good faith and, where appropriate, take reasonable steps to assist in pursuing removal of the infringing content, including coordination with the relevant platform’s abuse or copyright team.

10.9 Repeat Infringer Policy

Itmad Certification Services LLC maintains a strict repeat infringer policy. Any instructor or user who receives more than two (2) valid and substantiated copyright or trademark takedown notices — whether relating to the same or different works — will be deemed a repeat infringer. Upon such determination, Itmad Certification Services LLC reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to:

  • Permanently suspend or terminate the repeat infringer’s account and access to the Platform;
  • Remove all content published by the repeat infringer from the Platform;
  • Withhold any outstanding earnings or entitlements pending investigation; and
  • Report the repeat infringer to relevant authorities or rights-holder bodies where required by law.

Itmad Certification Services LLC’s determination of repeat infringer status shall be final, subject only to a right of written appeal submitted to the Designated Contact within fourteen (14) calendar days of notification.

10.10 Designated Contact Information

All copyright takedown notices, trademark takedown notices, counter-notifications, and third-party infringement reports should be submitted to Itmad Certification Services LLC’s designated intellectual property contact given under section 20.

Itmad Certification Services LLC will acknowledge receipt of all valid notices within ten (10) business days and will endeavor to resolve substantiated matters within fifteen (15) business days, subject to the complexity of the claim and any pending counter-notification period.

This Policy should be read together with Itmad Certification Services LLC’s Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, all of which form part of the binding legal framework governing use of the Platform.
