Fair Use Statement
Fair use refers to the right to reproduce, use and share copyrighted works of cultural production without direct permission from or payment to the original copyright holders. It is a designation that is assigned to projects that use copyrighted materials for purposes that include research, criticism, news reporting, and teaching. The maintenance of fair use protections is central to many non-profit and education projects, especially those that operate in digital and online spaces.

The intent of this website is to avoid the use of copyrighted material. The material made available on this website is used as a way to advance educational goals and support the implementation of federal and state laws related to the sales of tobacco products to minors. Through context, critical questioning, and educational framing, the North Carolina Training and Technical Assistance Center, therefore, creates a transformative use of media. The material is presented for entirely non-profit educational purposes. For these reasons, we believe that the website is clearly covered under current fair use copyright laws. We do not support any actions in which the materials on this site are used for purposes that extend beyond fair use.

The views expressed in the online training or written publications do not necessarily reflect the official policies of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services or the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, Alcohol Law Enforcement Division; nor does mention of trade names, commercial practices, or organizations imply endorsement by the respective funding source.
