FOR Local Communities (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides information, educational materials, community resources, and digital content through our website and related services. This Fair Use Policy explains how materials available through our website may be accessed and used.

Permitted Use

Content provided on this website may be accessed, viewed, downloaded, or shared for personal, educational, informational, and other non-commercial purposes, provided that the content is not materially altered or presented in a misleading manner.

When sharing or referencing our original materials, appropriate credit to FOR Local Communities should be provided whenever reasonably possible.

Prohibited Use

Unless you have received prior written permission from FOR Local Communities, you may not:

Reproduce substantial portions of our website for commercial purposes.

Sell, license, republish, or commercially distribute our original materials.

Remove or alter copyright notices, trademarks, credits, or other ownership notices.

Use our name, logo, branding, photographs, or materials in a way that suggests an endorsement, partnership, or affiliation that does not exist.

Modify or present our content in a manner that is false, misleading, discriminatory, harmful, or inconsistent with its original context.

Use automated systems to copy, scrape, harvest, or systematically reproduce substantial amounts of website content without authorization.

Educational and Community Use

We encourage responsible use of our publicly available educational and community-resource materials by individuals, families, community organizations, educators, healthcare partners, and nonprofit organizations.

Reasonable excerpts may be shared for educational, community outreach, research, commentary, or informational purposes when permitted by applicable law and when appropriate attribution is provided.

Third-Party Materials

Our website may contain photographs, graphics, documents, links, trademarks, or other materials owned by third parties. These materials remain subject to the rights and usage terms of their respective owners.

Permission from FOR Local Communities does not grant permission to use third-party materials beyond the rights we are authorized to provide.

Unless otherwise stated, original website content, branding, graphics, written materials, and other intellectual property created for FOR Local Communities are owned by or licensed to FOR Local Communities and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Nothing in this policy transfers ownership of our intellectual property to another person or organization.

Fair Use Under Applicable Law

Nothing in this policy is intended to restrict rights that may otherwise be available under applicable copyright law, including the fair use doctrine under U.S. law.

Whether a particular use legally qualifies as fair use depends on the specific circumstances. This policy should not be interpreted as legal advice or as a determination that any particular use constitutes fair use.
