DMCA & Copyright Policy

LuvMyRecipe.com (“WEBSITE”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our community members to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed on our WEBSITE.

Safe Harbor & User-Generated Content

The recipes, images, and articles published on LuvMyRecipe.com are primarily submitted by our community of users. While we require users to agree to our Terms of Service (which prohibit the posting of infringing materials), we do not pre-screen all user-generated content for copyright clearances.

Please note that under US Copyright law, simple lists of ingredients cannot be copyrighted. Copyright protection may, however, extend to substantial literary expression, such as the specific written instructions, personal anecdotes, or original photography accompanying a recipe.

Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please submit a formal DMCA notice to our designated agent at webmaster@luvmyrecipe.com containing the following information:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notification, provide a representative list.
3. Identification of the material that you claim is infringing, including the specific URL(s) on LuvMyRecipe.com where the material is located, so we can find and remove it.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Upon receipt of a complete and valid DMCA notice, LuvMyRecipe.com will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content and notify the community member who posted it.
