About SourPost
SourPost is a Canadian-based content platform operating at sourpost.com. We publish informative, engaging, and satirical content covering topics including culture, entertainment, science, lifestyle, travel, and sports. SourPost is owned and operated as a private publication. If you have any questions about these terms, please contact us at policy@sourpost.com.
Satirical and fictional content
SourPost publishes a mixture of factual informative articles and satirical fictional content. Any article that is satirical in nature is entirely fictional. The people, organisations, events, quotes, and situations described in satirical articles are invented for the purposes of humour and commentary and do not represent real events or real statements made by real individuals.
SourPost is not a news organisation and does not claim to report factual news in its satirical content. Satirical articles are written for entertainment purposes only. Any resemblance to actual events, real people living or dead, or real organisations in our satirical content is coincidental and unintentional.
It is your responsibility as a reader to distinguish between our factual informative articles and our satirical content. We make reasonable efforts to label satirical content clearly. SourPost accepts no responsibility for any misunderstanding, offence, or harm arising from a reader’s failure to recognise content as satirical.
Intellectual property and copyright
All content published on SourPost, including but not limited to articles, headlines, images, graphics, logos, and the overall design and layout of the website, is the intellectual property of SourPost or its respective rights holders and is protected by Canadian copyright law and applicable international copyright laws.
You may read and share links to our content for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, copy, republish, upload, post, transmit, or distribute any content from SourPost in any form or by any means without our prior written permission, except as permitted by applicable law.
Short quotations from our articles may be used for the purposes of commentary, criticism, or review, provided that clear attribution to SourPost and a link to the original article are included.
If you believe your intellectual property rights have been infringed by content appearing on SourPost, please contact us at policy@sourpost.com with details of the alleged infringement and we will investigate promptly.

By using SourPost you agree to use the site only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of others or restrict or inhibit their use and enjoyment of the site.

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to SourPost for any user who violates these terms or whose conduct we reasonably consider harmful to the site, its users, or third parties.

This limitation of liability applies whether the claim is based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory, and whether or not SourPost has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
