Contender's Edge Policies






Some Contender's Edge policies may be changed or updated according to the needs of this site's mission.



Section 1: Fair Use Act



All cited and referenced sources and images are used in accordance with the "Fair Use Act” which states the following:



107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use40
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.



If anyone feels that Contender's Edge has used any copyrighted material in a way that goes beyond the permitted boundaries of the "Fair Use Act", please contact Contender's Edge and explain how the use of any referenced and cited sources and the use of images was done beyond what is permitted by the Fair Use Act so that the error may be corrected, as Contender's Edge strives to ensure that due credit is given to sources cited and referenced and to the authors of any images used.  For more information on copyright laws and the fair use act, visit copyright.gov at https://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/more-info.html

(a)  The content of any syndicated work is kept in its original format.  Any media outlets, websites, blogsites, or any other publications syndicating any works from Contender's Edge who feels they can only syndicate a work in part and not in its entirety due to space limitation must provide a link to where readers can read the syndicated work in its entirety.

(b)  Credit is given to the author(s) or Contender's Edge



2.  When citing or referencing from any content of Contender's Edge, ensure that credit is given to Contender's Edge and/or the author of any Contender's Edge content cited or referenced.

3.  Anyone using Contender's Edge Works in such a way that makes it appear as though they are claiming any content from Contender's Edge as their own, or is found impersonating Contender's Edge, will be guilty of plagiarism and copyright infringement.



Section 3: Policies Regarding Comments Left In The Comment Sections Of Each Post Or Page And Any Correspondences With Contender's Edge



Contender's Edge asks that any comments left or e-mails sent be kept civil.  This author respects a civil and honest debate concerning anything on this site and is glad to answer any questions about this site and anything posted thereon.
