Sources & Licences
Every outside source this site uses, its licence, and what the site never does with other people's work.

What this site never does
No video or audio is downloaded, copied or re-hosted. No poster art, still or lyrics are reproduced. No site is scraped against its terms — scorecards, streaming catalogues and search trends are linked, not copied. No geo-block, DRM or paywall is bypassed. Uploads of "dubbed" material that the channel does not own are not listed.
Rankings, honestly
The trending charts rank titles by public pageviews on Wikipedia, not by a licensed popularity chart. That is stated on every chart page, because calling a pageview count an industry chart would be misleading.
Removal requests
If a title, thumbnail or link should not appear, write to the address on the contact page with the URL. Metadata is removed or corrected promptly; see also the DMCA & takedown page.
No advertising
Toolcin carries no ads, no sponsored cards and no affiliate links. That is exactly why the free, non-commercial tiers of the sources above can be used lawfully. If that ever changes, every licence is revisited before the first ad goes live — not after.
Live scores
Football and basketball numbers come from TheSportsDB's free public feed and are shown with the league, the minute and a link to the event. Cricket is not in that feed, so cricket pages link to the official scorecards instead of inventing a number. Scores can lag the broadcast by a minute; the page says so.
Law
The site is operated with Pakistan's Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act 2016 and Copyright Ordinance 1962 in view, and follows the notice-and-takedown approach of the DMCA for international complaints. It carries no obscene, blasphemous, gambling or pirated material, and no paid placement that pretends to be editorial.
