Copyright

Test BDSM 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.

Submitting a DMCA notice

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

1. Your physical or electronic signature, or that of a person authorised to act for the copyright owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed, or a representative list if one notice covers several works.
3. Identification of the material on test-bdsm.com that you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it, ideally the full address of each page.
4. Contact information so we can reach you, including your address, telephone number and email address.
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.

Where to send it

Please email your notice to [email protected] and put “DMCA notice” in the subject. We handle notices promptly, and if a notice is valid, the material is removed or access to it is disabled. Incomplete notices may delay the process, so please check every element above before sending.

Counter-notification

If material you provided was removed and you believe this was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address. It must include:

• a physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal;
• 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 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.

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.

Policy on repeat infringers

Although the site does not host user uploads or accounts, in appropriate circumstances we will block access for repeat infringers.

A note on false notices

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. When in doubt, for instance where fair use may apply, consider talking to a lawyer before filing.
