fact--a statement based on something indisputable, numerical, not subject to opinions

policy-- not sure how to describe it.

value--i'm assuming that this refers to moral values. it's an argument based on what someone's personal beliefs are. Some people say that gay marriage is wrong because the Bible states this, etc.

(I'm just using an example, I'm not trying to start anything)

Any argument is one opinion verses another. An argument of fact is an argument over facts. Are the facts correct or not. Argument of policy is what the
government does when they make laws. Policy can be laws, store guidelines, school rules, etc. Value can be the price of something, a religious belief, a value placed on personal believes. Hope this helps.

During a jury trial, an attempt to persuade the jurors to put themselves in the place of the victim or the injured person and deliver the verdict that they would wish to receive if they were in that person's position. For example, if the plaintiff in a personal injury case has suffered severe scarring, the plaintiff's lawyer might ask the jury to come back with the verdict they themselves would want to receive had they been disfigured in such a manner. As a rule, judges frown upon this type of argument, because jurors are supposed to consider the facts of a case in an objective manner.

a line of argument rationalizing the course of action of a government; "they debated the policy or impolicy of the proposed legislation".
2. [n] a plan of action adopted by an individual or social group; "it was a policy of retribution"; "a politician keeps changing his policies

".. some right, interest, profit or benefit accruing to the one party or some forbearance, detriment, loss or responsibility given, suffered or undertaken by the other."
