Legal notices

Report infringement or a legal concern.

If your copyrighted work, trademark, name, or likeness appears in material produced through this platform without your authorisation — or if published material makes a false statement about you — use this form. It reaches our designated agent directly.

Before you start. A copyright notice has required elements under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) — including your contact details, identification of the work and the material, and two signed statements. Every one of them is asked for below, so the notice you file is one we can act on.

You can also write to our designated agent directly at support@thecognitivemuse.com. See Terms of Service §18.
