Copyright Notice + Takedown Procedure
0. Who this notice comes from
This notice is given by Robert Karsten Zaar, an individual, of
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (the "Operator"), who operates
Narrow Way Commons, the community, and Saint School, the
courses. The Operator is not an incorporated body and does not act on
behalf of Apostoli Viae or any other organisation, and can be reached
at privacy@nwpcode.org or through our contact form at /contact.
1. Code
The infrastructure code that powers these sites, and the open-source
companion projects — the Narrow Way Project (Drupal hosting and
deployment) and its transcription and indexed-search toolkit — are
dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0 Universal with an MIT
Licence fallback.
Each repository carries its own `LICENSE` and `NOTICE` file at its
root, and those files govern that repository. The repositories are
published on the Operator's own GitLab at `git.nwpcode.org`.
The repository behind this site is `nwp/nwc`. Further repositories are
listed here as they are opened to the public.
2. Site content
Content authored by the Operator, or by contributors under the
Contribution Agreement, is dedicated
to the public domain under CC0 1.0 Universal with an MIT Licence
fallback, on the moral-rights consent and AI-assisted-authorship terms
recorded in each repository's `NOTICE` file.
Content drawn from third-party sources retains its upstream
copyright. The site marks third-party content with attribution and
source links. Where short attributed quotations from publicly
available material are used, that use is made under the fair-dealing
provisions of the *Copyright Act 1968* (Cth), specifically ss 40
(research or study) and 41 (criticism or review), and the equivalent
provisions of US and EU copyright law where applicable.
3. The Contribution Agreement
A separate Contribution Agreement
governs admission to the Narrow Way Commons review queue and to the
gated demo and test copies of Narrow Way Commons and Saint School.
Members admitted under that agreement contribute under the same dual
`CC0-1.0 OR MIT` licence as the project's infrastructure.
4. Takedown notices — for copyright owners

On receipt, the Operator will:
- Acknowledge the notice within 5 business days

- Notify the affected contributor (where applicable) and offer them the chance to file a counter-notice
5. Counter-notice — for contributors whose content was taken down
If your content was removed and you believe the takedown was in
error, you may submit a counter-notice to privacy@nwpcode.org, or
through our contact form at /contact, containing:
- Your name, address, and contact information
- Identification of the removed material and its location before removal
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed in error
- Your physical or electronic signature
The Operator will, where appropriate, restore the material and
notify the original complainant that they may pursue legal action if
they wish.
6. Repeat infringers
The Operator may terminate the account of any user found to be a
repeat infringer.
7. Australian and international law
The takedown procedure above is offered in good faith and is loosely
modelled on US DMCA §512 procedure. The site does not assert that
the procedure is a statutory safe-harbour mechanism under either US
or Australian law. The procedure is offered as a courtesy.
The Operator complies with the *Copyright Act 1968* (Cth) and
Australian fair-dealing law.
