Copyright

We take copyright seriously at test-aptitude.com, both our own and that of others. This page explains how to report material on test-aptitude.com that you believe infringes your copyright, in line with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512).

Filing a copyright notice

A notice must be in writing and include the following six elements:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or of someone authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
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 test-aptitude.com, described precisely enough to locate it; page URLs are best.
4. How to reach you: your name, address, telephone number and email.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

Contact for notices

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:

• your signature, physical or electronic;
• a description of the removed material and the location where it appeared;
• 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, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

Once we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material within 10 to 14 business days unless the complainant informs us that they have gone to court.

Repeat infringers

test-aptitude.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.

False claims

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. If you are not sure whether a use infringes, perhaps because it could be fair use, it may be wise to get legal advice first.
