Fair Use Disclaimer
At gbtechinc, we are committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others while sharing information and content in a responsible manner. We recognize the importance of adhering to the principles of Fair Use and ensuring that our use of third-party content is compliant with copyright law.
This Fair Use Disclaimer provides transparency about how we use content and outlines the steps you can take if you believe your content is being used improperly.
What is Fair Use?
The Fair Use doctrine allows for the limited use of copyrighted materials without permission under specific conditions. These conditions are typically defined by the following uses:
- Educational Purposes: Content used for research, learning, or teaching purposes.
- Commentary, Criticism, or Review: Content used to analyze, critique, or comment on the original work, often with transformative intent.
- News Reporting: Content used for news coverage or reporting on current events or public issues.
- Parody or Satire: Content used in a comedic or satirical manner to make a point or provide commentary.
- Research or Analysis: Content used for academic or non-commercial research purposes.
These uses allow for certain copyrighted works to be used without prior permission, provided that the use is fair, limited in scope, and meets the specific criteria set by the law.
How We Handle Fair Use Content
While we strive to comply with copyright laws, we occasionally use third-party content in ways that we believe fall within Fair Use. In doing so, we aim to:
- Limit the Use of Content: We use only the portions of content necessary to achieve our objective.
- Provide Attribution: We make every effort to give credit to the original creators of any third-party content, whether through proper citations, links, or other forms of acknowledgment.
- Minimize Impact on Original Works: We avoid using content in a way that harms the market value of the original work or substitutes the need for the original content.
We understand that fair use is a legal gray area and is often subject to interpretation. Therefore, we take extra care to evaluate whether our use of content qualifies under fair use and adjust accordingly.
