These terms apply every time you visit Toronto Post (torontopost.org). By using this site, you agree to the rules below, which are designed to protect both you and our independent journalism. Please read them carefully; if you do not agree, please stop using the site.
What do these terms mean for you?
These terms form a binding agreement between you, the reader, and Toronto Post, which is owned and operated by Northern Beacon Media Inc. They cover how you may access and use the content on our site. Simply browsing or reading an article means you accept these terms in full.
If you have any questions about a specific clause, please write to our legal team at legal@torontopost.org. We are happy to explain. These terms may be updated from time to time, and continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised version.
What can you do with our content?
All original content published by Toronto Post — including articles, photographs, graphics, and data — is protected by Canadian and international copyright law. You are welcome to share links to our stories on social media or in private correspondence, and to quote short excerpts with clear attribution to Toronto Post and the named writer.
You may not republish, reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit any content in full without prior written permission. For permission requests or to report infringement, see our Copyright & Takedown Policy. Toronto Post’s trademarks and trade names may not be used without explicit consent from Northern Beacon Media Inc.
What are your responsibilities when using this site?
You agree to use Toronto Post only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not harm the site’s operation or reputation. You must not attempt to access restricted areas, introduce malware, or scrape our content in bulk without authorization.
If you submit a tip, comment, or other material through our Tip Us page or via email, you grant Toronto Post a non‑exclusive, royalty‑free licence to use that material for editorial purposes. You warrant that your submission does not violate any third‑party rights or contain false or defamatory information.
How this works in practice
Imagine you read an article by Kevin Sullivan about a local community festival. You want to share it on your neighbourhood Facebook group. Under these terms, you can post a link to the article and quote a few sentences, as long as you credit Toronto Post and Kevin Sullivan. You may not copy the full article text or the photographs into your post without permission. This keeps our journalism sustainable while still allowing you to spread the story.
What is our liability?
Toronto Post provides its content for general informational and journalistic purposes only. It is not a substitute for medical, financial, legal, or professional advice. We strive for accuracy, but we cannot guarantee that every fact, figure, or link is error‑free or current at all times.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Northern Beacon Media Inc., its editors, reporters, and affiliates are not liable for any direct, indirect, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content.
