Dear Khan Staff: Video content about Khan Academy on YouTube?

Hi there!

If you are interested in using Khan Academy in your project, I encourage you to revise the following articles:

• Khan Academy Trademark and Brand Usage

• How to use Khan Academy materials for your own project

These should cover most of your concerns, but if you have any others, you can always refer to our Terms of Service for additional guidelines. It is worth noting that we receive frequent requests similar to yours asking about material use, across a variety of project types, from all around the world and, as a nonprofit providing free resources to a large global audience, we simply don't have the team resources to review all of these for compliance and give a definitive answer. As such, this request actually isn't as simple as it may seem on our end.

The team considers that the person making the request has the responsibility to ensure that their project complies with our terms of service and, if they think that their project's needs do not align with our terms, we usually suggest looking for a different source that does.

I know this isn't the answer you were looking for, but I hope you can understand where we're coming from. If there's anything else we can help you with, please let me know.

Just one question, with this in mind:

DO NOT: Use Khan Academy trademarks in the naming or promotion of an app or other services, nor may organizations combine their brands with Khan Academy to create a new brand (e.g., "Khan EduCo Academy"). Instead use the following language: "Viewer for Khan Academy". This makes it clear that the offering is not from nor supported by Khan Academy.

I'm assuming that naming the channel itself (which is a brand) 'The Khanomally' (aka: Khan-anomaly) out of the question-- however if I simply used 'The Khanomaly' as the name/title of a video/video series about khan, rather than as the name of my brand, would that be OK?

(It would be a shame if it's disallowed, I thought the potential name to be a good communication of what the video would be about (your anomalous programming community here on Khan Academy))

Also, I understand, regardless of what I name this project, I'd need to put a disclaimer saying I'm not affiliated with Khan Academy, correct?

Hi, there!

As mentioned before, we consider that the person making the request has the responsibility to ensure that their project complies with our terms of service and, if they think that their project's needs do not align with our terms, we usually suggest looking for a different source that does.
