B-MINUTE / LEGAL

Copyright & Takedown Policy

How b-minute protects books, sources, cover art, and rightsholder requests.

EFFECTIVE 17 JULY 2026UPDATED 17 JULY 2026ENGLISH CONTROL TEXT

1. Editorial copyright principles

b-minute creates original, transformative learning companions focused on ideas, context, critique, application, and independent research. Prompts prohibit chapter-by-chapter reconstruction, proprietary exercises, tables, and extended quotation. Modern book text is not ingested unless b-minute has permission or a lawful basis to do so.

A summary’s availability does not mean b-minute owns or endorses the original book. Book titles, authors’ names, publisher information, cover thumbnails, and other identifiers belong to their respective rightsholders and are used for identification and discovery.

2. Rightsholder notice

If you believe material on b-minute infringes your rights, email copyright@b-minute.com with: your name and contact details; identification of the protected work; the exact b-minute URL; a clear explanation of the claimed infringement; the authority under which you act; and statements that your claim is accurate and made in good faith. Include a physical or electronic signature where required.

We may ask for information reasonably necessary to evaluate the request. Knowingly material misrepresentations may create liability under applicable law.

3. Review, removal, and restoration

We will promptly preserve the relevant record, restrict access when appropriate, evaluate the specific content and sources, and notify affected parties where permitted. Outcomes may include correction, shortening, source changes, blocking one language edition, removal, or no action. Repeated, substantiated infringement may result in account restrictions.

Where a counter-notice procedure applies, the affected party may provide the required identity, contact, good-faith statement, consent to jurisdiction, and signature. Content will be restored only when legally appropriate.

4. Public-domain and licensed editions

The starter library favors works whose original texts are broadly in the public domain. A modern translation, annotation, introduction, cover, or edition can still carry separate rights; b-minute does not treat those elements as public domain merely because the underlying work is old.

Where a jurisdiction requires a designated agent, repeat-infringer process, or other formal notice procedure, b-minute will maintain the applicable registration and contact process.
