Copyright and DMCA Policy

1. How Oreni uses YouTube content

Oreni accepts a URL to a YouTube video or playlist that the submitter has the right to access. We retrieve the video’s public metadata and (where available) the transcript via Google’s official YouTube Data API and an authorised transcript provider. From that material, an AI model produces a structured study aid: a course outline, milestones, topics, recall prompts, and quizzes that summarise and re-organise the source material for learning purposes.

Oreni does not host, store, mirror, or redistribute the underlying video file or audio. The generated course is a derivative, text-based study aid created at the user’s request. The video itself remains on YouTube under its original creator’s account and is linked rather than embedded or rehosted.

2. Position on fair use

Oreni’s use of source material is intended to be transformative and for educational purposes — re-organising, summarising, and generating new questions and explanations rather than reproducing the source verbatim. The legality of any particular use depends on jurisdiction and on the specific facts. Submitters represent and warrant that their submission complies with applicable law and the terms of the platform where the source was originally published.

3. Reporting copyright infringement

If you believe that content generated by Oreni infringes your copyright, send a takedown notice to contact@oreni.co. We aim to acknowledge within five business days and to remove or disable access to clearly infringing material expeditiously after a valid notice.

Required elements of a DMCA notice

To be effective under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), your notice must include:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are covered.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing — for Oreni this means the URL of the generated course or section, and ideally a screenshot or quotation of the specific passage.
4. Information sufficient for us to contact you — full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of 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 the owner’s behalf.

4. Counter-notices

If you believe material that was removed in response to a notice was removed in error or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to contact@oreni.co containing the elements listed in 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). We will forward valid counter-notices to the original complainant and may restore the material in accordance with the statutory timeline if no court order is served on us.

5. Repeat infringers

We may terminate accounts that we determine, in our reasonable judgement, to be repeat infringers.

6. Designated agent

Our designated agent for copyright notices is Oreni Copyright Compliance Team, reachable at contact@oreni.co and Mirabel Residence, Block C5, 1st Floor, Bir El Djir, Oran, Algeria.

7. False claims

Filing a knowingly false copyright claim can result in damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Please consult counsel before submitting a notice if you are unsure whether your claim is valid.
