such use is not excused under an exception provided [FOR?] by the Copyright Act

Copyright Act contains several exceptions which allow unauthorized use of a work. When referring to the use of the work,

do I need the FOR after provided?

Where is either word?

Judging from the context given, I think you mean 'provided by'.

are exceptions provided by the copyright act or
are exceptions provided for by the copyright act?

[Mister Micawber]

Oh, I see. Yes, there is a difference. I don't think the Act provides (= supplies) exceptions, it provides for (= makes allowance for) them.
