1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Factorytechnews (“the Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The following Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Factorytechnews.com website and any related services, features, content, or applications offered by us (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you are not authorized to use the Site or our Services and must exit immediately.

2. Description of Service

Factorytechnews is a news aggregation service. We collect, curate, and display headlines, summaries, excerpts, and links to news articles and other content (“Third-Party Content”) from various external sources across the internet. Our service is designed to provide a centralized platform for information related to factory technology and industrial innovation.

You understand and agree that the Services are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. We assume no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, misdelivery, or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

3.1. Our Content

All content originally created and provided by Factorytechnews on the Site, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips, digital downloads, data compilations, software, and the selection, coordination, and arrangement of such materials (collectively, “Our Content”) is the property of Factorytechnews, its licensors, or its content providers and is protected by international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

3.2. Third-Party Content and Fair Use

The Site features summaries, excerpts, headlines, and links to news articles and other content owned by third parties (“Third-Party Content”). Factorytechnews does not claim any ownership rights in the original Third-Party Content.

We believe our use of Third-Party Content constitutes a “fair use” under applicable copyright law, including but not limited to Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act, as it is used for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, and research. Our use is transformative, non-commercial in nature (or where commercial, is minimal and supports the fair use purpose), and does not negatively impact the potential market for or value of the original works.

Attribution: We provide clear and prominent attribution to the original source of all Third-Party Content, including the source publication’s name and a direct link to the full article on the source’s website. This attribution is a fundamental principle of our service.

If you are a copyright owner and believe that content on the Site infringes your copyright, please refer to our DMCA Policy in Section 8 of these Terms.

6. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Safe Harbor
