Copyright & Intellectual Property Notice
Who owns what — the platform, your content, and our marks.
1. Copyright notice
© 2026 Postlyo. All rights reserved.
The Postlyo service and website, and all software, source code, design, user interface, layout, graphics, illustrations, icons, text and documentation forming part of them (the Platform Materials), are the property of Postlyo or its licensors, and are protected by copyright, database rights, trade mark law and other intellectual property laws worldwide.
The Platform Materials are proprietary and unlicensed. No part of them is made available under an open source licence, and no rights are granted except as expressly stated in our Terms of Service.
Portions of the Service incorporate third-party open source software, which remains subject to its own licence terms — see Open Source Licenses.
2. Trade marks
Postlyo, the Postlyo logo, and the associated product names and taglines are trade marks of Postlyo, whether registered or unregistered.
Registered marks: To be completed by the website owner — list registrations and jurisdictions, or state “applications pending” / “unregistered rights asserted”.
You may not:
- use our marks in a way likely to cause confusion about the source, sponsorship or endorsement of any product or service;
- use them in your own product name, company name, domain name, social media handle, or logo;
- register a confusingly similar mark or domain; or
- alter our marks, or use them in a disparaging manner.
You may, without permission:
- refer to Postlyo by name in accurate, descriptive statements — for example “built with Postlyo”, or in a review or news article;
- use the word mark in plain text where necessary to identify the Service.
Use must be accurate and must not imply a relationship that does not exist. All goodwill from any use accrues to us. Third-party names and marks appearing in the Service belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only.
3. Ownership — the division of rights
| Asset | Owner |
|---|---|
| The platform, software, and interface | Postlyo |
| Brand, name and logo | Postlyo |
| Templates, themes and sample content we supply | Postlyo, licensed to you for use within the Service |
| Your posts, articles, images and media | You |
| Your site's name, brand and logo | You |
| Your domain name | You |
| Comments left by your readers | The commenter, subject to any licence they grant you |
| Third-party open source components | Their respective authors |
We claim no ownership of your content. The limited licence you grant us to host and serve it is set out in Terms of Service section 8.2 and exists solely so we can operate the Service for you.
4. Restrictions
Except as our Terms of Service expressly permit, you must not:
- Copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, publicly display or transmit the Platform Materials;
- Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of them;
- Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Service, except to the minimum extent applicable law expressly permits notwithstanding a contractual restriction — for example, certain interoperability rights under EU Directive 2009/24/EC. Where you intend to rely on such a right, please contact us first; we may be able to provide the information you need directly;
- Remove, obscure or alter any copyright, trade mark or other proprietary notice;
- Use the Service, or information gained from it, to design, build or market a competing product;
- Use automated means to extract, index or reproduce the Platform Materials; or
- Sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise transfer the Platform Materials or your access to the Service.
5. Content published on customer sites
Sites operated by our customers contain content published by those customers. We do not own it, do not endorse it, and do not pre-screen it.
Copyright in that content belongs to the customer or their licensors. If you wish to reuse content from a site built on Postlyo, contact the site’s operator.
If you believe content on a hosted site infringes your copyright, follow the process in our DMCA / Copyright Complaint Policy.
6. Respecting others' rights
You are responsible for ensuring you hold the rights to everything you publish. This is one of the most common ways site operators get into legal trouble, and the exposure is real. Particular care is needed with:
- Images. A search engine result is not a licence. Stock photography licences have terms and limits — check whether yours covers commercial use, and whether attribution is required.
- Fonts and icons. Web-font and icon licences often distinguish between desktop, web-embedding, and redistribution.
- Quotations and excerpts. Fair use and fair dealing are narrow, fact-specific defences, not general permissions.
- Music, video and audio in embedded or uploaded media.
- Third-party trade marks, especially in comparative advertising or domain names.
- AI-generated material, whose rights position may be uncertain — see our AI Usage & Disclosure Policy.
We may remove infringing content and terminate repeat infringers. See our Acceptable Use Policy.
7. Licensing and infringement enquiries
