• Share links to recipes and articles on social media, email, or other platforms, provided the link points to the original page on dishesdaily.com.
• Print any recipe or page for personal use, such as for cooking at home or for sharing with family and friends. The printed copy must not be sold, redistributed, or used for any commercial purpose.
• Quote short excerpts (generally less than 90 characters or 10% of a recipe, whichever is smaller) in a personal blog or forum, provided the quote is properly attributed to dishesdaily and a link back to the original content is included.

All of these uses are strictly for personal consumption and may not be used to create derivative works, such as new recipes or articles that replicate the structure or content of the original. Any commercial use, including but not limited to publishing, selling, or advertising, requires prior written permission from dishesdaily.

Prohibited Use

It is strictly forbidden to:

• Upload or embed any dishesdaily content onto a third‑party site that hosts user‑generated content, especially if the content is used for monetization.

Any violation of these terms may result in immediate removal of the offending content, termination of access to dishesdaily.com, and potential legal action. We reserve the right to pursue all remedies available under the law.

DMCA Compliance

dishesdaily is a compliant Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) participant. We take copyright infringement seriously and have established a clear procedure for handling takedown notices.

DMCA Takedown Procedure

1. Submit Notice: Send a written DMCA takedown notice to [email protected]. The notice must include:
   • A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.

   • Information identifying the location of the infringing material on dishesdaily.com (e.g., URL).
   • Your contact information, including name, address, phone number, and email.
   • A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright holder.
