9.2. At the same time, we recognize that not all unauthorized use of copyrighted content constitutes copyright infringement. Many countries have exceptions to copyright infringement that allow works to be used without permission in certain circumstances.
9.3. In addition, using someone else's trademark for the purpose of accurately referencing, legitimately commenting on, criticizing, parodying, or reviewing the trademark owner's products or services, or comparing them to other products or services, will generally not be considered a violation of our policies, provided that the trademark is not used to designate your own goods or services or those of a third party.
