Copyright & DMCA

Effective November 4, 2026 · Last updated November 4, 2026

1. What you own

You keep every right you have in the texts you upload and in the lesson plans, questions, and handouts generated from them. We claim no ownership of your teaching material. You may use, edit, print, and share it freely, including with your students and colleagues.

2. What we own

The Service itself — software, prompts, templates, page designs, documentation, and the Lesson Plan Factory name and marks — belongs to us. Your licence to use it is limited to using the Service as offered, as described in the Terms of Service.

3. Your responsibility for uploads

You may only upload text you have the right to use: public-domain works, texts your school is licensed to teach, excerpts within fair use, or material you wrote. Uploading a copyrighted work does not transfer any right to us; we process it on your instruction to produce your plan. If a rights holder objects to material you uploaded, you are responsible for that upload.

Project Gutenberg texts are in the public domain in the United States. The reading packet is offered only for those texts, because a full-book PDF of an in-copyright work is a reproduction.

4. Reporting infringement (DMCA)

If you believe material on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent at support@lessonplanfactory.com with the subject "DMCA Notice". A valid notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) includes:

1. a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act for them;
2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
3. identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough information for us to locate it (for example the account email and lesson title);
4. your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
6. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf.

We will remove or disable access to the material, notify the account holder, and keep a record. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a notice can make you liable for damages under § 512(f).

5. Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, send a counter-notice to the same address. It must include your signature, identification of the removed material and where it appeared, your name, address, telephone number and email, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found). We may restore the material after 10 business days unless the original complainant files a court action.

6. Repeat infringers

We terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright. A single clear infringement, or an account used to distribute pirated texts, is enough to suspend access while we investigate.

7. Our content and the mark

"Lesson Plan Factory" and the Lesson Plan Factory logo are our marks. Do not use them in a way that suggests endorsement, or in connection with a modified version of the Service, without written permission.
