Any other use—including reproduction of an entire recipe, copying of instructional photos, reposting videos, or commercial exploitation—requires prior written permission from us.

3. Prohibited Uses

You may not:

  1. Reproduce, distribute, modify, translate, or publicly display any content from this Site in whole or in part without explicit permission.

  2. Adapt our recipes for publication in cookbooks, magazines, e-books, or apps without a license.

  4. Remove watermarks, crop out branding, or manipulate images to obscure ownership.

4. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Compliance

We respect the intellectual-property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. Under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. §512), we will respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement committed using our Site if such claims are reported to our designated agent (see §6).

4.1 Filing a Notice

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes infringement, please submit a written DMCA Notice containing:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.

  3. Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (URL).

  4. Contact information of the complaining party (name, address, telephone number, email).

  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

  6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

We may publish or share your notice to fulfill legal obligations or clarify the claim to the allegedly infringing party.

4.2 Counter-Notification

If you believe your content was removed (or access to it was disabled) by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification containing:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.

  2. Identification of the material removed or to which access was disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.

  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.

  4. Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal court for the district where you reside (or Washington County, Oregon if outside the U.S.) and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original DMCA Notice.

We will forward your counter-notification to the complaining party and reinstate the material if we do not receive notice of a court action within 10–14 business days.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, access for users who are deemed repeat infringers.
