DMCA & Copyright Policy

Our approach to recipes and copyright

No Spam Recipes publishes recipe facts — ingredient lists and preparation steps — drawn from public-domain and openly licensed sources, each with attribution and a link to the source. We do not copy third parties' creative prose, headnotes, stories, or photographs. Signed-in members may submit recipes, which are published only after human review (see the Terms); there is no other way for users to post content here.

We respect copyright and take claims seriously. If you believe something on this site infringes your copyright, here's how to tell us.

Filing a takedown notice

To request removal of material under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), send a written notice to contact@nospamrecipes.com that includes all of the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full legal name is fine), as the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for the owner.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed (or a representative list, if the notice covers multiple works).
• Identification of the material you want removed, with enough information for us to find it — the URL of the page on our site is best.
• Your contact information: name, address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

If your notice is complete, we'll remove or disable access to the material promptly and make a reasonable effort to notify anyone affected. If it's incomplete, we may ask you for the missing information.

Please note: knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). Keep in mind that a bare list of ingredients and basic cooking steps is generally not protected by copyright.

Counter-notice

If material you're associated with was removed because of a takedown notice and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter-notice to contact@nospamrecipes.com that includes:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your district (or, if you're outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we'll forward it to the original complainant. Unless they tell us within about 10–14 business days that they've filed a court action to keep the material down, we may restore it.

Repeat infringers

We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. This applies to the recipe-submission flow, to any future features that allow posting content, and to any account used to facilitate infringement.
