Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy
This Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy (“Policy”) applies to the https://staugustinecatholicschool.org website (“Website” or “Service”) and any related products and services (collectively, “Services”) operated by St Augustine Catholic School (“Operator”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). This Policy outlines how we address copyright infringement notifications and how you (“you” or “your”) may submit a complaint regarding alleged copyright infringement.
Protection of Intellectual Property
The protection of intellectual property is of the highest priority for us, and we expect our users to respect the intellectual property rights of others. In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) of 1998, we will respond promptly to clear notifications of alleged copyright infringement that meet the requirements of the DMCA. The text of the DMCA can be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website.
What to Consider Before Submitting a Copyright Complaint
Before filing a copyright complaint, please be certain that the material in question actually infringes your copyright. If you are unsure, you may want to seek legal counsel before submitting a notification to us. Submitting a false claim of copyright infringement may result in legal consequences.
The DMCA requires you to include your personal information when filing a copyright infringement notification. If you are concerned about the privacy of your personal information, you may choose to use an authorized agent to file the complaint on your behalf.
Notifications of Infringement
If you are a copyright owner or an authorized agent thereof, and you believe that any content available through our Services infringes your copyrights, you may submit a written copyright infringement notification (“Notification”) using the contact details provided below, in accordance with the DMCA. All such Notifications must meet the requirements set forth by the DMCA.
When we receive a valid DMCA Notification, we will take steps to address the issue, which may include removing or restricting access to the allegedly infringing material. If we take action to remove or restrict access to materials in response to a DMCA complaint, we will make a good-faith effort to contact the user responsible for the material.
Please note that we reserve the right to take no action if the Notification does not comply with the DMCA’s requirements or if the allegedly infringing material is found to be non-infringing.
Filing a DMCA Complaint

- A description of the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed.
