All content on Foodplatespot.com (hereinafter “the Site”) is the exclusive property of Foodplatespot. This includes, but is not limited to, recipes, cooking instructions, photographs, illustrations, video clips, audio files, text, graphics, logos, and any other material displayed on the Site. The Site is protected under the United States Copyright Act, the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, and all applicable international copyright agreements.

Foodplatespot retains all rights, title, and interest in and to the content. No part of the Site may be copied, reproduced, modified, adapted, transmitted, broadcast, displayed, published, or distributed in any form or by any means—whether electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise—without the prior written permission of Foodplatespot, except as expressly permitted below.

Permitted Use

Users of the Site are granted a limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, revocable license to access and use the content for personal, non‑commercial purposes only. This includes the following permissible actions:

• Link Sharing: You may share a hyperlink to any page on the Site with others, provided the link is not modified to misrepresent the source or content.
• Personal Printing: You may print any page or recipe for your own personal use, such as preparing a meal for yourself or a small family. The printed material may not be sold, displayed publicly, or used for any commercial benefit.
• Offline Viewing: You may download a page or recipe for offline reading, provided the download is for personal use only and the content is not subsequently shared or distributed.

The above permissions do not extend to any use that would constitute a public performance, public display, or any other form of public communication of the content. They also do not grant you the right to modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works from the content without explicit written permission from Foodplatespot.

Prohibited Use

The following uses are strictly prohibited without prior written consent from Foodplatespot:

• Republication: Copying, reproducing, or republishing any content—whether in full or in part—on any other website, blog, social media platform, or in any printed publication.
• Commercial Use: Using any content for advertising, marketing, or any other commercial purpose, including selling or licensing the content to third parties.
• Modification: Altering, remixing, or creating derivative works based on the content without explicit permission.
• Data Mining: Using automated tools to scrape, harvest, or otherwise extract content from the Site for data analysis or other purposes.
• Misrepresentation: Presenting the content as original or as belonging to another party.

Violation of any of these prohibitions may result in civil and/or criminal liability, including but not limited to statutory damages and attorney’s fees. Foodplatespot reserves the right to pursue all available remedies to protect its intellectual property rights.

DMCA Compliance

Foodplatespot is committed to complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and maintains a designated Copyright Agent to receive notices of alleged infringement. The following information outlines the DMCA takedown process:

• Notice of Infringement: If you believe that your copyrighted work has been used on the Site without permission, you must provide a written notice to [email protected] that includes the following elements:
  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright holder or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
  2. A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed.
  3. A description of the location on the Site where the infringing material is found.
  4. Your contact information, including name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in question is not authorized by the copyright holder, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright holder.
• Counter‑Notice: If the content is removed or disabled, the user who posted it may submit a counter‑notice. The counter‑notice must contain the same information as the initial notice, plus a statement that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Restoration: Upon receipt of a valid counter‑notice, we will restore the content unless we receive a court order or a valid request from the copyright holder to keep it removed.
• Legal Remedies: Failure to comply with the DMCA takedown process may expose the infringing party to legal liability, including statutory damages and attorney’s fees.

Foodplatespot takes all legitimate DMCA notices seriously and will act promptly to remove or disable access to infringing content. However, we do not guarantee that all notices will be acted upon immediately, as we must verify the validity of each claim before taking action.

Content Attribution

While the Site does not require attribution for personal use of recipes or other content, we encourage users to credit Foodplatespot when sharing content outside the Site. A simple attribution can read: “Recipe courtesy of Foodplatespot, foodplatespot.com.” This practice helps maintain the integrity of the content and promotes respect for our intellectual property.
