We do not intentionally seek to publish material that infringes the copyright of others.

If copyrighted material appears on Tostino and you believe that its use is unauthorized, we encourage you to contact us so that the matter can be reviewed.

Our objective is to handle legitimate copyright concerns responsibly and efficiently.

2. What Is Copyright?

Depending on applicable law, copyright may protect works such as:

Articles.
Written content.
Photographs.
Illustrations.
Graphics.
Videos.
Music.
Software.
Original designs.
Educational materials.
Other creative works.

The existence and scope of copyright protection may vary depending on the applicable jurisdiction.

3. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner or authorized representative and believe that content published on Tostino infringes your copyright, you may submit a copyright complaint.

To allow us to properly review the matter, your notice should contain enough information to identify:

The copyrighted work you believe has been infringed.
The location of the allegedly infringing material on Tostino.
Your contact information.
A statement explaining your relationship to the copyrighted work.
Information that allows us to understand the nature of the alleged infringement.
Any additional information reasonably necessary to evaluate the complaint.

Providing a direct URL to the relevant Tostino page is strongly recommended.

4. Information to Include in a Copyright Notice

A useful copyright notice should generally include the following information.

Identification of the Copyrighted Work

Please describe the original copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed.

If the work is available online, you may provide the URL where the original work can be verified.

Identification of the Material

Please identify the specific material on Tostino that you believe infringes your copyright.

Mailing address, where appropriate.
Other relevant contact information.

Authority to Submit the Notice

If you are submitting the complaint on behalf of a copyright owner, please explain your relationship to the copyright owner and your authority to act on their behalf.

5. Good-Faith Statement

A copyright complaint should be submitted in good faith.

The person submitting the notice should have a reasonable basis for believing that the use of the identified material is not authorized by the copyright owner, the owner’s representative, or applicable law.

Submitting knowingly false or misleading copyright claims may have legal consequences under applicable law.

6. Accuracy of Information

By submitting a notice, you should ensure that the information provided is truthful and complete to the best of your knowledge.

If important information is missing or unclear, we may request additional information before determining what action, if any, is appropriate.

7. Review of Copyright Complaints

After receiving a copyright complaint, Tostino may review the information provided.

Depending on the circumstances, the review may include:

Identifying the reported material.
Reviewing the relevant page.
Reviewing information provided by the complainant.
Determining whether additional information is necessary.
Contacting relevant parties where appropriate.
Taking temporary or permanent action when justified.

A complaint does not automatically establish that infringement has occurred.

Each matter may require individual review.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, Tostino may take actions such as:

Removing or disabling access to the reported material.
Temporarily restricting access to a page.
Requesting additional information.
Contacting the relevant content provider.
Updating or correcting content.
Taking other appropriate measures.

The action taken will depend on the specific circumstances of the complaint and applicable legal requirements.

9. Counter-Notification

If material has been removed or access has been restricted because of a copyright complaint, the affected party may have the right, depending on the applicable law and circumstances, to submit a counter-notification or response.

A counter-notification should explain why the material was removed or restricted incorrectly and provide sufficient information for the matter to be reviewed.

Tostino may evaluate such responses according to applicable legal requirements and the circumstances of the case.

10. Fair Use and Other Legal Exceptions

Depending on the jurisdiction, these may include concepts such as:

Fair use.
Fair dealing.
Quotation.
Commentary.
Criticism.
News reporting.
Research.
Education.
Other statutory exceptions.

Whether a particular use qualifies for an exception depends on the facts and applicable law.

Tostino does not automatically determine that a particular use is protected by an exception simply because an exception exists.

11. Publicly Available Content

The fact that material is publicly available on the internet does not automatically mean that it is free to copy, republish, distribute, or commercially use.

Visitors should obtain appropriate permission or rely on a valid legal basis before reproducing copyrighted material.

12. Images and Visual Content

Images may be subject to copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, or other rights.

If you believe an image displayed on Tostino infringes your rights, please identify the image and provide the URL of the page where it appears.

If possible, provide information demonstrating your ownership or authorization to act on behalf of the rights holder.

We may review the matter and take appropriate action when justified.

13. User-Submitted Content

If Tostino allows visitors to submit comments, images, articles, links, or other content, users are responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights or permissions to submit that material.

Users should not submit copyrighted material belonging to another person without appropriate authorization or a valid legal basis.

If you believe that user-submitted content infringes your copyright, you may contact us using the procedure described in this policy.

14. Repeat Infringement

Tostino may take appropriate action against accounts, contributors, or users who repeatedly submit material that is determined to infringe copyright or otherwise violate applicable intellectual property rights.

Depending on the circumstances, action may include:

Removal of content.
Restriction of submission privileges.
Suspension of access.
Termination of access.
Other appropriate measures.

Any action will depend on the circumstances and applicable requirements.

15. Trademark Rights

Tostino may mention company names, product names, logos, trademarks, and service marks belonging to third parties.

Such names and marks generally remain the property of their respective owners.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, references to third-party trademarks do not necessarily imply ownership, sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation.

If you believe that Tostino is improperly using a trademark or other protected brand element, you may contact us with the relevant details.

The linking website is affiliated with Tostino.
The linking website owns Tostino.
Tostino has approved content that it has not approved.

Remove unfavorable opinions.
Disrupt competitors.
Harass another person.
Remove content merely because it is inconvenient.

21. False or Misleading Claims

Submitting a knowingly false or materially misleading copyright complaint may expose the sender to legal consequences depending on the applicable law.

For this reason, please verify your rights and the relevant facts before submitting a complaint.

If you are uncertain whether a particular use infringes your copyright, you may wish to obtain legal advice before submitting a formal notice.

22. Third-Party Content

Tostino may reference or link to material created by third parties.

The appearance of third-party material or a link to an external resource does not necessarily mean that Tostino owns or controls that material.

If you believe that third-party content linked from Tostino infringes your rights, you may also need to contact the website or platform hosting the original material.

23. External Platforms

Some content may originate from or be embedded through third-party platforms.

Those platforms may have their own copyright-reporting procedures.

Where appropriate, copyright owners may submit complaints directly to the platform hosting the relevant material in addition to contacting Tostino.
