We will acknowledge receipt of valid notices within 5 business days and will take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material within 10 business days.
If your notice is incomplete, we will make a reasonable attempt to contact you to request the missing information before taking further action.
5 Counter-Notification Procedure
If you believe that material you posted on IsYourTraderReal.com was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with us. Your counter-notification must be in writing and include:
- Identification of the material: Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will promptly provide the person who filed the original notice with a copy of the counter-notification and inform them that we will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. We will then restore the material within 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notification, unless we receive notice that the original complainant has filed a court action seeking a restraining order.
6 Fair Use Policy
IsYourTraderReal acknowledges the principle of fair use (or fair dealing in applicable jurisdictions). We recognise that limited use of copyrighted material without permission may be permissible for purposes such as:
- Commentary and criticism: Quoting portions of trader claims, advertisements, or promotional materials for the purpose of analysis, critique, or consumer protection reporting.
- News reporting: Reproducing limited excerpts in the context of newsworthy events related to trading fraud or consumer protection.
- Education: Using materials for educational purposes to help retail investors recognise scam patterns and protect themselves.
- Research: Scholarly or investigative research into trading fraud patterns, market manipulation, or consumer protection.
Our verification reports may include screenshots, quotes, or other materials from traders' public profiles, advertisements, and communications. We believe such use constitutes fair use/fair dealing because it serves the public interest in consumer protection, is transformative in nature (adding analysis and commentary), and does not serve as a market substitute for the original work.
When evaluating DMCA takedown requests, we will consider whether the allegedly infringing material qualifies as fair use before removing it.
