Last Updated: October 22, 2025

Welcome to FactoryNewsToday (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Site”), accessible at factorynewstoday.com. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, services, and content (collectively, the “Services”).

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING OUR SERVICES. BY ACCESSING, BROWSING, OR USING THE SITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY, WHICH IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using FactoryNewsToday, you represent and warrant that you are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence and are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations, and warranties set forth in these Terms. Your use of the Site constitutes your acceptance of these Terms and your agreement to be bound by them.

2. Use of the Services

You may use our Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to use the Site:

In any way that violates any applicable federal, state, local, or international law or regulation.
To transmit, or procure the sending of, any advertising or promotional material, including any “junk mail,” “chain letter,” “spam,” or any other similar solicitation.
To impersonate or attempt to impersonate the Company, a Company employee, another user, or any other person or entity.
To engage in any other conduct that restricts or inhibits anyone’s use or enjoyment of the Site, or which, as determined by us, may harm the Company or users of the Site or expose them to liability.

3. Intellectual Property Rights and Content Attribution

The Services, including their entire contents, features, and functionality (including but not limited to all information, software, text, displays, images, video, audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof), are owned by the Company, its licensors, or other providers of such material and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.

3.1. News Aggregation and Fair Use. FactoryNewsToday is a news aggregation service. We do not create original news content. Instead, we collect, summarize, and display headlines, article excerpts, images, and links (“Aggregated Content”) from third-party news sources and websites. We believe our use of this third-party content constitutes a “fair use” under Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act and similar doctrines in other jurisdictions. Our fair use is based on the following factors:

Purpose and Character: Our use is transformative. We use the content for the purpose of news reporting, aggregation, and commentary, providing a centralized service for our users, which is distinct from the original purpose of the source material.
Nature of the Copyrighted Work: The works we use are primarily published, factual news articles, which are closer to the core of the intended protection of fair use than creative works.
Amount and Substantiality: We use only limited portions of the original works, typically headlines and short, relevant excerpts necessary to convey the core news fact and context. We do not reproduce full articles.
Effect upon Potential Market: Our aggregation drives traffic to the original source websites by providing attribution and direct links, thereby enhancing, not harming, the potential market for or value of the original work.

3.2. Attribution. In connection with our fair use of third-party content, we provide clear and conspicuous attribution to the original source of the Aggregated Content, including the source publication’s name and a direct, hyperlinked URL to the original article on the source’s website. This attribution is a material part of our service and our commitment to supporting the original content creators.

4. User-Generated Content

The Site may allow users to post, link, store, share, and otherwise make available certain information, text, graphics, videos, or other material (“User Content”). You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting it. By posting User Content, you represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to publish the material and grant us the license below.

4.1. License Grant. By posting User Content, you hereby grant FactoryNewsToday a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the User Content in connection with the Site and our business.

4.2. Disclaimer Regarding User Content. We do not endorse, support, represent, or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any User Content or communications posted via the Services. You understand that by using the Services, you may be exposed to User Content that might be offensive, harmful, inaccurate, or otherwise inappropriate.

We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor and manage User Content and to remove any User Content at any time and for any reason without notice.

5. Third-Party Links and Content

You acknowledge and agree that FactoryNewsToday shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such content, goods, or services available on or through any such third-party websites or services. Your interactions with third parties found through the Services are solely between you and such third parties.

5.2. Accuracy of Aggregated Content. As an aggregator, we do not verify the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the news content we aggregate from third-party sources. The Aggregated Content is provided for informational purposes only and reflects the information available from external sources at the time of aggregation. We do not warrant or guarantee the reliability of any Aggregated Content.

6. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) – Safe Harbor

FactoryNewsToday respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”), the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using our Services that are reported to our designated Copyright Agent.
