Copyright

Autism Test respects the intellectual property of others and expects visitors to do the same. This page explains how to report material on autism-test.net that you believe infringes your copyright, in line with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512).

Filing a copyright notice

Please make sure your notice includes each of these elements, as required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3):

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 autism-test.net, described precisely enough to locate it; page URLs are best.
4. Contact information so we can reach you, including your address, telephone number and email address.
5. Your good-faith statement that the use complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, an agent or the law.
6. A declaration that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner.

Where to send notices

Please email your notice to [email protected] and put “DMCA notice” in the subject. 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-notification

Anyone whose material was removed by mistake or misidentification may send a counter-notice to the same email address, containing:

• your signature, physical or electronic;
• a description of the removed material and the location where it appeared;
• a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith that the removal was due to a mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address and phone number, your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, outside the United States, of any judicial district where the service provider may be found), and your agreement to accept service of process from the person who filed the notice.

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

Section 512(f) of the Copyright Act provides that knowingly and materially misrepresenting infringement, or a mistaken removal, can lead to liability for damages, costs and attorneys' fees. When in doubt, for instance where fair use may apply, consider talking to a lawyer before filing.

Repeat infringers

In appropriate circumstances, anyone found to infringe copyright repeatedly will lose access to the site, even though autism-test.net has no user accounts.
