DMCA policy

Childhood Trauma Test respects the intellectual property of others and expects visitors to do the same. Below you will find how to send a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512) and what happens next.

Filing a copyright notice

To be effective, your written notice needs to contain all of the following:

1. Your signature, physical or electronic, as the owner or as a person authorised to act for the owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed, or a representative list if one notice covers several works.
3. The infringing material and where it is on trauma-test.com, described precisely enough to locate it; page URLs are best.
4. How to reach you: your name, address, telephone number and email.
5. Your good-faith statement that the use complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, an agent or the law.
6. A statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you own the right or are authorised to act for the owner.

Sending your notice

Notices should go to [email protected]; a subject line such as “DMCA notice” helps us find them quickly. Valid notices are acted on promptly: the material is taken down or made inaccessible, and we confirm this to you. If something is missing, we may ask you for it before we can act.

Counter-notices

If you believe material was removed in error, you can respond with a counter-notice to [email protected] that includes:

• a physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal;
• your statement, under penalty of perjury, of a good-faith belief that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address and telephone number, together with your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or any judicial district where the service provider may be found, if you are outside the United States) and your agreement to accept service of process from the complainant.

Following a valid counter-notice, the material can be put back after 10 to 14 business days, unless we hear that the complainant has started legal proceedings.

Before you file

Be aware that 17 U.S.C. §512(f) makes a person who knowingly and materially misrepresents infringement, or a mistaken removal, liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. If you are unsure whether a use is infringing, for example because it may be fair use, consider seeking legal advice before you send a notice.

Repeat infringers

trauma-test.com has no user accounts or uploads, but where it applies, we will, in appropriate circumstances, cut off access for anyone who repeatedly infringes copyright.
