Fair Use Disclaimer
Overview
GLP1Rating is an independent review and commentary website. We occasionally feature screenshots, images, logos, and other visual content from telehealth providers, pharmacies, and related websites for the purpose of critique, analysis, and educational review. This Fair Use Disclaimer explains the legal basis for our use of such content.
Fair Use Under U.S. Copyright Law
Screenshots and images used on GLP1Rating fall under the “fair use” doctrine as established by Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act. Fair use permits the unlicensed use of copyrighted material for purposes such as:
- Criticism and commentary – analyzing and critiquing the design, functionality, and quality of third-party services.
- Review and analysis – comparing features, pricing, and user experience across providers.
- News reporting and education – informing readers about telehealth options, GLP‑1 providers, and related services.
- Research and teaching – supporting educational content about weight loss medications and telehealth accessibility.
Fair use is a legal doctrine that allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder under specific circumstances.
Our Use of Third-Party Content
GLP1Rating uses screenshots, images, logos, and website excerpts from third-party telehealth providers and pharmacies in the following ways:
- Screenshots of provider interfaces – to show how signup flows work, pricing transparency, or user experience features.
- Provider logos and branding – to identify and visually distinguish reviewed services.
- Website sections or features – to illustrate specific functionality or content quality.
- Pricing tables or service descriptions – to compare options across providers.
All such content is used for the purpose of critique, commentary, and consumer education, not commercial profit or promotional benefit to the original copyright holder.
Attribution & Copyright Notice
GLP1Rating respects intellectual property rights. When we use third-party content, we:
- Clearly attribute images and screenshots to their original sources.
- Link back to the original provider’s website where appropriate.
- Include copyright notices and trademark disclaimers where applicable.
- Use content in a limited, transformative manner (analysis + commentary, not reproduction).
All rights to third-party logos, trademarks, and copyrighted material remain with their respective owners. GLP1Rating makes no claim to ownership of such content.
Four-Factor Fair Use Test
Our use of third-party content complies with the four-factor fair use test established in U.S. copyright law:
1. Purpose & Character of Use
We use content for transformative purposes: critique, commentary, analysis, and consumer education. This is a non-commercial, educational purpose that supports freedom of speech and press.
2. Nature of the Copyrighted Work
Third-party content (websites, interfaces, pricing information) is factual and functional in nature. Such content is more amenable to fair use than purely creative works.
3. Amount & Substantiality of Use
We use only the portion of content necessary to support our critique or analysis. We do not reproduce entire websites, apps, or creative works in their entirety.
4. Effect on the Market
Our use does not harm the market value of third-party services. In fact, by reviewing providers, we often drive traffic to their sites and may increase customer awareness and interest.
Content We Do NOT Use Without Permission
GLP1Rating respects copyright protections and does not reproduce content that falls outside of fair use, including:
- Entire proprietary software, code, or applications.
- Full copyrighted articles, blogs, or written content from other sources.
- Trademarked or branded content used for commercial purposes.
- Private or confidential information.
If we wish to use such content, we obtain explicit permission from the copyright holder.
Trademarks & Branding
Third-party logos, trademarks, and brand names appear on GLP1Rating solely for the purpose of identification and review. We make no claim to ownership of such marks. All trademarks, logos, and brand names remain the property of their respective owners.
Use of such marks does not imply endorsement of GLP1Rating by the trademark holder, nor does it constitute sponsorship or affiliation.
DMCA & Takedown Requests
If a copyright holder believes GLP1Rating has used their content outside the scope of fair use, they may submit a formal DMCA takedown notice. However, we believe our use qualifies as fair use under U.S. law.
GLP1Rating will evaluate any takedown request in good faith. If we determine that content does not qualify as fair use, we will work with the copyright holder to resolve the issue promptly.
