1. About this website
This website is operated by the Centre for Counterterrorism Innovation and Deep Tech Operations Ltd (CCTIDTO), ABN 79 688 234 031 and ACN 688 234 031. CCTIDTO is an Australian not-for-profit public company limited by guarantee and a registered charity.
By accessing this website, a visitor agrees to use it lawfully and consistently with these terms.
2. Educational and research purpose
Website material is provided for charitable education, research, public discussion and general information. It does not constitute legal, security, intelligence, operational, psychological, medical, financial or other professional advice. Accessing the website does not create a professional, advisory, employment, partnership or confidential relationship with CCTIDTO.
Research topics and article summaries do not, by themselves, announce an active program, operational capability, endorsed policy position or completed peer-reviewed finding. The status and review position stated with each item should be read carefully.
3. Sensitive and counterterrorism-related material
Some material may discuss terrorism, violent extremism, genocide, propaganda, emerging security threats, trauma, sexual violence or armed conflict. It is presented critically for education and public benefit. References to a terrorist organisation, its ideology or its claimed religious justifications do not endorse that organisation or attribute its conduct to a religion or community.
Content must not be copied, reframed or used to encourage, glorify, facilitate or provide instruction concerning terrorism, violence, harassment, hatred, discrimination, unlawful surveillance, unauthorised access or other unlawful conduct.
4. Accuracy, status and corrections
CCTIDTO aims to distinguish established fact, testimony, interpretation and opinion, and to identify material uncertainty or contested accounts where relevant. Despite reasonable care, material may contain an error, omission or information that later changes.
Visitors are encouraged to report concerns through the Centre's Editorial Standards and Corrections process. CCTIDTO may correct, clarify, update, restrict or withdraw material where appropriate.
5. Intellectual property
Ownership and authorship vary according to the material. Founding Director Background IP remains owned by the Founding Director and is used by CCTIDTO under the applicable licence arrangements. Other original website text, design, branding and Centre-presented material may be owned by or licensed to CCTIDTO. Merely viewing this website does not grant an implied licence.
Where material is Founding Director Background IP, CCTIDTO's website use is limited to approved public material under the applicable licence arrangements. Publication does not assign, transfer or alter ownership, and protected non-public research material and Confidential Research Know-How are not licensed or disclosed to visitors.
The dedicated Intellectual Property, Research Provenance and Terms of Use page governs ownership, authorship, moral rights, confidential know-how, automated extraction, permitted use and licensing requests. Third-party rights and statutory exceptions remain unaffected.
The CCTIDTO name, logo, visual identity, original website design, graphics and imagery are not available for unrestricted reuse. Except where permitted by law or authorised in writing by CCTIDTO and any other relevant rights holder, they must not be copied, altered, redistributed or used in a manner that suggests affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement or authorisation.
6. External links and third-party services
An external link is provided for context or convenience and does not necessarily amount to endorsement, control or continuing approval of the external website, organisation, product or view. External sites operate under their own terms, privacy practices and security controls.
7. Availability, security and liability
CCTIDTO may change, suspend or withdraw website material without notice where necessary for accuracy, safety, maintenance, legal review or governance. Visitors should take reasonable precautions when accessing or downloading online material.
To the extent permitted by law, CCTIDTO does not accept liability for loss arising solely from reliance on general website information or from the availability, operation or content of an external website. Nothing in these terms excludes a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.
8. Governing law and changes
These terms are intended to be governed by the laws applying in New South Wales, Australia. CCTIDTO may update them when the website, applicable law or the Centre's activities change. The current effective date appears at the top of this page.
