This Copyright & Content Usage Policy explains how content published on MCQ Academy may be accessed, used, quoted, shared, reproduced, translated, distributed, or otherwise reused. It also explains how copyright owners can contact us regarding material they believe infringes their rights.
MCQ Academy is a multilingual educational platform operated under its parent organization, Micro Solutions Bangladesh (MSBD). The platform includes educational materials, multiple-choice questions (MCQs), answer choices, explanations, notes, quiz collections, test functionality, editorial content, graphics, website design elements, and other resources intended primarily for learning, practice, and self-assessment.
By accessing or using MCQ Academy content, you agree to respect applicable copyright, intellectual property, database, contractual, and other legal rights, as well as the conditions described in this Policy and our Terms of Use.
1. Scope of This Policy
This Policy applies to content published across the MCQ Academy website and its multilingual sections, including English, Bangla, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, and any additional language or regional versions that may be introduced in the future.
It applies to website pages, quiz questions, answer options, explanations, educational notes, subject and topic collections, test interfaces, editorial materials, images, graphics, logos, downloadable resources, original data compilations, and other materials made available through MCQ Academy unless a specific item is accompanied by different licensing or usage terms.
2. Sources of Content Published on MCQ Academy
MCQ Academy content may be created, reviewed, edited, translated, or otherwise prepared through several workflows. Content may be contributed by unpaid volunteer writers from different parts of the world, prepared by paid writers or contributors, or generated or assisted by artificial intelligence technologies under human supervision.
AI-assisted or AI-generated material is not intended to bypass our editorial responsibilities. Where AI technologies are used, human contributors or reviewers may check, revise, organize, verify, or approve material according to our editorial processes. Additional information is available in our AI Content & Technology Policy and Editorial Policy.
The fact that content appears on MCQ Academy does not necessarily mean that every individual component is exclusively owned by MCQ Academy. Depending on the circumstances, rights may belong to MCQ Academy, Micro Solutions Bangladesh, an individual contributor, a licensor, a third-party rights holder, or another lawful owner.
3. Copyright and Intellectual Property Ownership
Original content created for MCQ Academy may be protected by copyright and other applicable intellectual property rights. This may include original written explanations, articles, educational notes, question wording, graphics, software interfaces, design elements, compilations, organizational structures, and other original material where such protection is recognized by applicable law.
Rights in contributor-created material depend on the applicable contributor agreement, employment arrangement, assignment, license, or other legal relationship. Where rights have not been transferred to MCQ Academy or Micro Solutions Bangladesh, the original contributor or another rights holder may retain those rights.
Content created with the assistance of artificial intelligence may have a different legal status depending on the degree of human authorship, applicable law, and the circumstances in which it was produced. MCQ Academy does not claim copyright protection over material where applicable law does not provide such protection. Human-created editing, selection, arrangement, explanation, compilation, or other protectable contributions may nevertheless have separate rights where recognized by law.
4. MCQ Academy Name, Branding, and Website Assets
The MCQ Academy name, logos, visual identity, website graphics, branding elements, and other identifying materials may be protected by copyright, trademark, passing-off, unfair competition, or other applicable rights.
You may not use MCQ Academy branding in a way that falsely suggests that MCQ Academy, Micro Solutions Bangladesh, or our contributors sponsor, endorse, operate, certify, or are affiliated with your website, application, educational product, publication, organization, course, or service unless you have received appropriate authorization.
5. Personal and Non-Commercial Educational Use
MCQ Academy is designed to support learning and educational practice. Individual users may ordinarily access and use publicly available MCQ Academy content for their own personal study, revision, knowledge testing, and other non-commercial educational purposes, subject to this Policy and our Terms of Use.
For example, a learner may read questions, answer quizzes, review explanations, take notes based on material encountered on MCQ Academy, and share links to relevant MCQ Academy pages with other learners.
This permission to use the website for personal learning does not transfer ownership of the content and does not authorize copying substantial portions of the MCQ Academy database, republishing collections of questions, or creating competing products or services from MCQ Academy material.
6. Use by Teachers, Tutors, and Educational Institutions
Teachers, tutors, and educational institutions may link students directly to publicly accessible MCQ Academy pages and may refer to limited portions of our content for legitimate teaching, discussion, or classroom activities where such use complies with applicable law and this Policy.
Limited use for classroom instruction should not be interpreted as permission to copy entire question banks, reproduce substantial collections, create commercial test-preparation products from our materials, upload substantial portions of our database into another learning management system, or redistribute MCQ Academy content as a substitute for accessing the original website.
If your institution needs broader reuse rights, content licensing, bulk educational access, or another form of permission, please contact MCQ Academy before reproducing the material.
7. Linking to MCQ Academy
You are generally welcome to link to public MCQ Academy pages from websites, blogs, educational resources, social media posts, discussion forums, documents, or other publications, provided that the link is presented accurately and is not used deceptively.
A link must not falsely imply an endorsement, partnership, sponsorship, certification, or other relationship with MCQ Academy or Micro Solutions Bangladesh. You should link to the original MCQ Academy page whenever practical rather than reproducing the complete content elsewhere.
8. Quoting and Referencing MCQ Academy Content
Reasonable quotations or references may be permitted where authorized by applicable law or by this Policy. When quoting MCQ Academy content, you should use only the amount reasonably necessary for your purpose and clearly identify MCQ Academy as the source.
Where the material is published online, attribution should normally include a link to the specific MCQ Academy page from which the material was obtained.
Attribution alone does not automatically make otherwise unauthorized copying permissible. Copying a substantial collection of MCQs, explanations, articles, or other materials and adding a source link does not by itself create permission to republish that material.
9. Uses That Require Prior Permission
Unless applicable law independently permits the activity, you should obtain written permission before using substantial MCQ Academy content for commercial publication, paid courses, examination-preparation books, mobile applications, websites, question-bank services, subscription products, learning management systems, downloadable databases, commercial datasets, or other products or services.
Permission may also be required to reproduce substantial collections of questions, translate and republish MCQ Academy materials, syndicate content, commercially distribute printed copies, incorporate content into another database, or create derivative educational products based substantially on MCQ Academy content.
Permission requests may be submitted through our Contact Us page. Please identify the material you wish to use, where it will be used, whether the proposed use is commercial or non-commercial, the intended audience, and the approximate amount of material involved.
10. Bulk Copying, Scraping, and Database Extraction
MCQ Academy contains organized collections of educational questions and related information. Except where expressly authorized, you may not systematically copy, scrape, crawl for republication, harvest, download, extract, mirror, or reproduce substantial portions of MCQ Academy content or its structured collections for the purpose of creating or maintaining another question bank, website, application, dataset, product, or service.
Automated systems must respect technical access controls, applicable robots directives, rate limits, and other restrictions communicated by MCQ Academy. Circumventing security mechanisms, access restrictions, or technical measures intended to protect the service is prohibited.
Normal indexing by legitimate search engines for the purpose of directing users to MCQ Academy is distinguishable from extracting substantial content for republication, database creation, or other independent reuse. Search and discovery services should direct users to the original MCQ Academy pages rather than presenting substantial copied collections as a replacement for the original service.
11. Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Dataset Use
Public availability of MCQ Academy content should not be interpreted as a general license to reproduce substantial portions of the website for artificial intelligence training, machine-learning datasets, retrieval databases, commercial AI products, synthetic question banks, model evaluation datasets, or similar automated uses.
Where an AI developer, research organization, data provider, educational technology company, or other party wishes to use substantial MCQ Academy content for training, fine-tuning, retrieval, benchmarking, dataset construction, or commercial AI development, that party should obtain permission where required by this Policy or applicable law.
This section does not seek to restrict any use that cannot lawfully be restricted under applicable law. It clarifies that MCQ Academy does not voluntarily grant a blanket license for unrestricted AI or machine-learning reuse merely because content can be accessed on the public web.
12. Translation and Multilingual Content
MCQ Academy operates in multiple languages, and content may be independently written, translated, localized, adapted, or reviewed for different language audiences. A translated version may therefore differ from another language version in wording, examples, explanations, educational context, or editorial treatment.
You may not assume that the existence of one language version grants permission to translate substantial MCQ Academy content into another language and republish it elsewhere. Translation and adaptation can involve separate rights and should be undertaken only with appropriate authorization or where permitted by applicable law.
13. Third-Party Material
MCQ Academy may occasionally refer to, quote, embed, link to, or otherwise make use of third-party material for educational, informational, explanatory, editorial, or technical purposes. Copyright and other rights in such material remain with their respective owners unless expressly stated otherwise.
MCQ Academy does not grant permission to reuse third-party material simply because that material appears on or is referenced by our website. If you wish to reuse third-party content, you may need to obtain permission directly from the relevant rights holder.
14. Facts, Ideas, and Source Material
Educational content frequently discusses facts, concepts, formulas, historical information, scientific principles, vocabulary, commonly known information, and ideas that may also appear in textbooks, curricula, reference works, government publications, or other educational sources.
MCQ Academy does not claim exclusive ownership of facts, ideas, knowledge, or other material that is not protected by applicable intellectual property law. Our rights, where applicable, relate to protectable original expression, editorial work, selection, arrangement, compilations, graphics, software, branding, and other qualifying material.
15. Contributor Responsibilities
Volunteer contributors, paid contributors, editors, translators, and other individuals who provide material to MCQ Academy are expected to submit content they are legally entitled to provide and to avoid unauthorized copying from textbooks, websites, commercial question banks, examination-preparation products, or other protected sources.
Contributors should properly identify source material where attribution is required and should not present another person’s original work as their own. MCQ Academy may review, modify, reject, remove, or investigate submitted material where copyright, attribution, originality, or licensing concerns arise.
Further information about how we create and review educational material is available in our Editorial Policy.
16. Reporting Suspected Copyright Infringement
MCQ Academy respects the intellectual property rights of authors, publishers, educators, organizations, photographers, designers, developers, and other rights holders. If you believe content available through MCQ Academy infringes copyright or another intellectual property right that you own or are authorized to represent, please contact us.
To help us review a complaint efficiently, please provide your name and contact information, identification of the copyrighted work or other protected material, the exact MCQ Academy URL where the disputed material appears, an explanation of the rights you believe are affected, information showing that you are the rights holder or authorized to act for the rights holder, and any other information reasonably necessary to evaluate the request.
You may submit copyright-related concerns through our Contact Us page.
17. How We Handle Copyright Complaints
When we receive a sufficiently detailed copyright complaint, we may review the relevant content, contributor information, available source material, licenses, permissions, and other circumstances relevant to the claim.
Depending on the outcome of the review, MCQ Academy may remove content, temporarily restrict access, revise material, add attribution, seek additional information, contact a contributor, restore content where appropriate, or take another reasonable action.
Submitting a complaint does not guarantee automatic removal. We may need enough information to determine whether the request is credible and whether the disputed use is authorized, licensed, independently created, legally permitted, or otherwise appropriate.
18. Misrepresentations and Good-Faith Notices
Copyright complaints should be submitted in good faith. Please do not knowingly make false claims of ownership or demand removal of material for which you do not hold relevant rights or authorization.
Similarly, contributors and users should not knowingly submit false information regarding licenses, permissions, authorship, public-domain status, or ownership of material.
19. Removal Does Not Determine Legal Ownership
MCQ Academy may voluntarily remove or restrict material while investigating a complaint or as an editorial decision. Such action should not necessarily be interpreted as an admission of infringement, liability, or legal ownership by any particular party.
20. Content Corrections and Editorial Changes
MCQ Academy may edit, update, reorganize, replace, translate, correct, or remove published content as part of its normal editorial processes. These actions may be taken to improve accuracy, clarity, educational usefulness, compliance, attribution, or consistency.
If you identify an incorrect answer, inaccurate explanation, questionable source, attribution issue, or other editorial concern rather than a copyright infringement, please report it through our Contact Us page. Our editorial standards are described further in the Editorial Policy.
21. No Transfer of Rights Through Website Access
Accessing, viewing, bookmarking, linking to, or using MCQ Academy does not transfer ownership of our content, branding, software, database, or other intellectual property to the user. Any permission granted under this Policy is limited to the particular use described and does not constitute a sale, assignment, or unrestricted license.
22. Permissions and Licensing Requests
We recognize that schools, publishers, educational technology companies, researchers, nonprofit organizations, developers, and other parties may have legitimate reasons to request broader use of MCQ Academy content.
If you would like permission to reproduce, translate, distribute, license, syndicate, commercially use, research, or otherwise reuse a substantial amount of MCQ Academy material, please contact us before proceeding. Permission, where granted, may be subject to specific attribution requirements, limitations, licensing terms, fees, or other conditions.
